Probably an unpopular opionion or I may get hate for it. But I really don't find female kpop idols sexy at all, they just look so… off most of the time. They are beautiful and cute most of the time, but sexy? nah, sorry.
I don't think male ones are better mind you, especially when they take their shirts off and grind away ugh… the cringe is real.

>>280749I seriously don't understand why i-fans want the same things from kpop that they get from the western entertainment industry. They want bts to sing about social issues like homophobia/sexism/whatever, they want k-fans to accept idols dating with each other, etc. I know that k-fans' attitude towards idols' relationships is fucked up, but it's still a thing in their fan culture, it might change for the better, it might not, I just don't think that people who observe a foreign culture should throw tantrums and demand that things are dealt their way, idols act the way they like, etc. Calling people out, critisizing is fine, but many fans don't seem to understand that kpop caters to korean audience, not them.

>>280788That's an actual thing with fujoshis lol, a certain percent of them is homophobic (I happen to know a few people unfortunately) and many of them don't really care about these issues. They're nothing better than straight males who "care" about lgbt rights just because they jerk off to lesbian porn.
Also, idols acting gay often seems even more homophobic than if they didn't acknowledge the existence of homosexuality at all. If you watch korean variety shows for example, they often do some (kinda) gay stuff for comedic effect, it's always cringey and obvious that actual homosexuality is just a joke or disgusting to them.

>>280788>…these first world lgbt people who constantly feel the need to be told that they are valid are fucking annoying. God yess, I agree so much.

There's so many websites of people dedicated to figuring out idols sexual inclination, like they're some sort of gaydar.

>>280789Uh anon don't you know that literally nothing an idol has ever done is their genuine self? Every single blink is calculated by the agency. Every single idol is just an empty shell being told what to do.
Really, there's definitely idols who are naturally, genuinely awkward people. They'll be coached on how to play it off in a way that seems charming rather than awkward but without a doubt there's plenty like V who aren't just 100% normal outgoing people faking at being quirky. The times an idol is given a completely fake persona always backfire and stop working within a couple of years, fans can see through when someone is a complete fake and don't like it

No. 280802
>>280795I think that's a bit exagerated, I doubt every single thing an idol does is fake. But I do agree that it's most likely that the general personality they portray in variety shows and such is super fake. Especially when you have the cool one, the shy one, the "cute" (cringe) one, in every group ever.
I doubt V decided his persona was acting like a retard. I really do believe he thinks sticking his tongue out like that for example is "sexy".

>>280802That first part was a joke about how some anons (and people elsewhere) jump in immediately to tell you an idol's fake if you say you like something about them
With stuff like Vlive these days I think it's too hard for an idol to keep a consistent fake persona. There's still a few 'quirky' idols who are told to just stay quiet but I do think that most idol's fake personas are just their own personalities but exaggerated in certain ways to be more loud or more motherly or whatever their deal is

International fans refuse to educate themselves on why things such as celebrities caught up in scandals concerning weed, abortion or, baffeling enough, the Japanese Imperial flag are controversial. However, at the same time, international fans throw a shitshow and go to #war on twitter when Koreans don't understand why blackface or being against accepting refugees is an issue.

Besides the point of "do they like it or are they reacting because they get views" you can see with your eyes how they go from normal people to total kpop freaks.
I remember one called Dezzy that used to be some normal black dude reacting and devolved to such a kpop suck up. In his latest videos he keeps saying "pregnant" every time an idol even looks at the camera and worships them as gods. It's so cringe now.
Or this one from Spain that used to be a normal dude in his first videos until he discovered the cancer that is BTS and became such an idol wannabe. Just look at that red clown hair and dangly earring. Looking at his videos thumbnails you can see the evolution from normal to fugly kpop fashion.

>>281714This is the reason I dislike kpopfags so much actually. Instead of being honest about stanning idols solely because they want to fuck them or be like them, they keep insisting their idols have talent when they only thing they do right is pleasing their fanbase. Even so they manage to come off as fake most times.
Take kpop, for example, there's no originality in any aspect of it except it's made by Koreans. Same goes for kdrama. Fans literally force themselves to hype this shit because they're so obsessed with Korea, the trending country right now. That thread with anons fawning over kpop boys really tells how shallow this fanbase really is. As an ex kpop fan I hope it dies out soon.

>>281755I agree with the obsession and I could use less of these fangirls fawning over there too, but at this point you can't say the people in that thread are not the same ones in here. I don't know why there's even two threads since people are being critical in both, just make a shit on BTS thread and get it over with since that's what's mainly being talked about here.
Also, I don't get why so many "ex" kpop fans are still updated on things happening in kpop and talking about it. Why do you even bother if you don't even want to fuck the idols? Because it's obvious anyone that likes kpop is mostly interested for that reason. I find that more annoying that people that at least admit they're into it because they want to fuck asian twinks.

because of how shallow it is. No fake deep concepts, no particularly nasty attitudes, no uglies; just an ever-growing group of cute, endearingly cringey twinks singing mediocre pop songs about simple shit, pushing out a steady flow of fan service, and dicking around together. That's pretty much all I could ever ask for out of a Kpop boy group. Anything that strayed from that formula would not appeal to me at all, even if the music was good.

>>281830These are the same people that cant even fucking speak korean lmfao you dont even know the message unless you are sitting and reading English translations while listening to it. And even then, they are translations which tend to be over translated in terms of feelings lmfao something as simple and meaningless as “i hate you but i love you” gets translated to english as “I detest the inner depths of your eternal being, yet I cannot resist you and all that you stand for” which again gets translated by BTS stans as “OMG IT REPRESENTS THE HATRED FOR LGBT PEOPLE THAT SOCIETY HAS AND HOW BTS IS SO WOKE THAT THEY CAN STILL ACCEPT THEM AND LOVE THEM “

>>281877I think this is the answer to
>>281875>why he has the most fucking weirdos obsessed with him?Him looking so androgynous makes him hyper sexual to fangirls, that's why I'd say he's the most sexualized member in BTS. Bighit also helped creating this 'sexy persona' when he's actually a very shy guy and probably arrogant as well. It's a great combination to attract weird girls. Not to mention fujoshits making shit that involves him getting fucked in the ass by JK. He looks like a twink tbh.

I think I used to really like BTS because I enjoyed and could buy into their underdog status. Their reaction to receiving a daesung was seriously cute and made me feel good for them.

>>282936>>282936I hate this type of comment so much. If anything, BTS was way more “western” friendly at the start of their career, that’s why they went nowhere with the korean public but stealdily gained i-fans.
As soon as they started with the flower boy crap and pastel hair/colored contacts they took off in Korea. Now their music is a noisy jumbled mess that resembles current kpop way more than anything that’s on western radio. Yeah they are still stealing beats and imitating popular rappers but they’ve always done that, now it’s just more blatant because they are stealing more current sounds.

>>283022This is gonna sound dramatic as fuck, but I gasped reading this post. Genuinely surprised because extremely popular rookie under the same company managing the most successful GG at the moment? That’s (almost) guaranteed money.
It might (?) be because Somi was involved in that drinking “scandal” and occasionally you’ll come across Korean thoughts on her popularity on 101 being a result of international voters and that she’s overexposed. This is major reaching though, because that might only be rumors based off of biased translations to churn drama. A more realistic reason might be she (and her stage dad) chose to terminate because of a delay in the next JYPE girl group, possibly due to Twice still at the top of the game, Stray Kids trying to make a name for themselves, and the influx of “girl crush” groups at the moment. Why sit around and get put into more survivals shows, wasting your popularity and youth when she can find another company or go into acting/variety/etc.
I hope it’s somehow related to the Shewol Ferry cult JYP’s involved with, for maximum absurdity.
I feel dumb for this long-ass post but this is way more interesting drama than E-dawn and Hyuna’s dating, personally No. 283045
>>283039I think her leaving because of the next girl group being delayed probably makes the most sense.
People keep bringing up her dad but wouldn't he want her to stay at JYP for more exposure or something? She's already popular on her own but she will probably do better at JYP than at another smaller company. Though maybe they saw how the members of Twice rarely get their own solo work and decided they'd rather Somi stay solo. Isn't JYP's press conference about the cult next month? I guess there's no way to know unless someone leaks the details.

i noticed something about k-pop music videos that this exemplifies perfectly, it's that there's never really any plot. there are different sets and different outfits but never any action that pushes it forward, just shots of idols running. the most beloved western pop videos are basically short movies set to music, but even if k-pop videos have a concept they never have a storyline, if that makes sense. i thought loona might be different since love4eva had some acting in it, but with this it's all just random images and easter eggs. and, again, the running.

I think they looked their best in War of Hormone. And V looked good in DNA era as anon above said. To be honest if I really look at his face in DNA and now it looks the same, but I think the styling, some weight gain and probably stress makes him look worse.

No. 284371
>>284369It definitely does, it's odd watching the Behind the Scenes and seeing how different it looks with a regular camera. Also stage makeup it's sooo thick on the selfies they take and upload to Twitter. In person it must look so bad.
As I stated on
>>284365, it's not the lack of makeup that turns me off, even if some do look better with it. It's their childish personalities that make them unfuckable. Imagine being on one of those fan meetings where they talk to the audience, full of aegyo, "sexy dances" and frivolous "you're so handsome" comments between each other. I would facepalm so hard I would have no face by the end of it.
Also, talking about that, is anyone else really disgusted with the constant "you're so handsome" members say to each other? I've noticed it a lot on NCT videos for example. Are they really superficial or do they want to fuck each other so much? Same with Jin from BTS, when did it become acceptable or even attractive being super vain in Korea?

>is anyone else really disgusted with the constant "you're so handsome"yes, literally highlights how some of the members are literally there because they are considered good looking. not so much disgusted but just a minor annoyance. it's not like all the members need to be ~~talented~~ but you don't need to make the reason you're only there so blatant all the time. it's almost as if they say it out of spite since they've realized this themselves, jin especially considering V gets called the visual all the time

kpop was cool when i was a teenager but since i’ve grown a lot i can’t really get into it as much these days.

Like in the BAPSAE dance practice, which I really liked and was one of the first videos I saw of them.

Not in the ''love myself'' way at all (as fans will try to defend), just ''I can do whatever shit I like, I'm still in BTS and people will love me no matter what''.
It's kind of infuriating how much I hate this song and to think that maybe that's what they wanted.
The video is so all over the place that I don't know if I find it amusing or obnoxious.

>>284831To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand BTS. The music is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of German literature most of the references will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Taehyung's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from van Gogh's artwork, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these references, to realise that they're not just artistic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike BTS truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the depth in Jimin's existential catchphrase "La La La La," which itself is a cryptic reference to Le Guin's American philosophical fiction The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bang PD-nim's genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a tattoo in Korean that i can't read. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ARMY's eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel anons 😎

Its crazy because i do NOT remember it being like that with the other generations. Sure, there were times when members would lose weight or develop eating disorders or would be naturally thin but it was always so obvious and actually scandalous. Remember Yuri's anorexia? Remember how people would tease Sooyoung because of how thin she was? And girls that werent as thin were usually complimented by the media for being bagel girls or having "athletic" bodies. Like Bekah and Kahi from After School. Of course some were called chubby or shamed like Sulli and the members of T-ara, but thats an unfortunate reality everywhere when you gain more weight than people are used to seeing you as. Now its the norm to be very underweight and frail always it seems.

I didn't like DNA when it released, but after hearing Fake Love, which was much worse, it wasn't as bad anymore. And now, after hearing Idol? DNA is actually a pretty good song and Fake Love wasn't

The only reason any of these guys are getting any attention individually is because of their role as a part of an extremely popular group, not because of individual talent.

He could be as talented as you say, but talent is irrelevant to kpop fans. I can't see him getting anywhere with that mug kek

BTS really is a shit group.

>>285076This is interesting, the maknae line are the most popular members but I think they don't have the personality to pull off a solo career. Jimin and Jungkook seem too dependent on fans and BTS. V doesn't seem like that but he isn't that good of a singer.

when is their company going to debut a new group? bts is at their peak, and, with sm, the second exo and super junior hit their peak nct and exo were debuted. bts' popularity won't last forever and it'll be much harder for them to promote a new group when it dies

>>285116I agree, they took the one in a million opportunity they had when their group randomly went viral and managed to keep the momentum for this long, it's very impressive.
The way they handle BTS PR is spot on - they managed to make the fans of their completely manufactured group believe it is somehow more authentic and organic than all the others. They're selling that boyfriend fantasy so well. I think that's why I'm impressed. They saw their initial concept was a flop and did a total 180 and turned their group into a cash cow while making the fandom actually believe this is the most authentic self-producing group in the history of kpop. They have an advantage over companies like SM whose bread and butter is the flower boy boyfriend fantasy because their fans actually believe their shit is genuine, when it's no less manufactured than a company like SM. They got their fans to do most of the PR for them, I think that's amazing. You know, in an evil, capitalistic sort of way.

But then you watch the mess that was the new BTS video that tried way too hard to be serious and the delusional 14yo fans saying "ITS TOO DEEP YOU DONT GET IT" it's hilarious. Yeah, because it's not just fun silly pop music to dance to and shitty graphics and horrendous costumes and CGI when your korean boyfriends do it, it must have a "deeper sarcastic intellectual meaning guyz u just understand its art". Lmao I don't know why these people can't for once say they don't enjoy a song or video or two, even when it's as bad as this. It's okay to admit you don't like everything your fave artists puts out, calm the hell down, they end up making themselves look stupid trying to convince everyone that a shitty k pop song is a masterpiece.
Anyway, just as expected, the video was an ugly jumbled mess and the aggressive scream-singing was cringey to listen to. Especially when reading the lyrics. Lmao I swear I laughed for a minute straight after reading the "Hooray this is awesome" lyric towards the end. This is the masterpiece that BTS and their fans are creaming themselves over, folks

I'm sure he's the leader of the band because he can't sing, he can't dance and with Suga, his ''rap skills'' aren't that impressive. And he tries so hard to be all smart and smug about everything because he used to be a top A* student. So what? That doesn't mean that he's better than anyone else but his fans and even himself try to depict it as that.
Always with those deep words and metaphors I can't be bothered to read his updates anymore. I remember one Run episode when they had to get out of one escape room and as time passed he was getting so pissed because even Jimin could discover something relevant and he couldn't kek that fake smile…
I used to be a big BTS fan tbh but they tried too hard to make people bellieve that they're just different and special, not like other bands, so much uwu and cute babies that now it just makes me cringe so hard. They're almost all adults now, they couldn't care less about haters on internet but armies are so convinced they need to defend BTS above all because they will be so proud of their fans…Yes, sure.

>>285474One thing that's odd is the gilded image that people seem to have over Kpop, despite similar manufactured bands in Europe and USA being looked at more objectively. It's so common for example, for boybands to end up in debt, ether due to problems with their company, not making enough to pay back for the costs of all those tours, travel etc or personally mismanaging their money. I think the latter must be a big problem in Kpop, seeing as most of the "idol" have been in the industry since they were kids. Even adult boyband stars in the 'west' say that they have issues with no longer being told what to do with their days, or getting validation. In Kpop, it seems worse compared to western artists, as they appear to have zero autonomy, they have to act like kids, they can't be political or honest, and then they have to permanently mess up their health by being underweight and getting surgery. It does seem like it's kids that are being pushed into this industry by parents, who maybe want a celebrity child, at any expense. Maybe if there was a proper exposing of the prostitution and exploitation within the industry, public opinion might be a bit more critical rather than international fans thinking it' cute when unnie faint on stage.
No. 285679
>>285670this is why i'm not truly delusional about wanting to date some kpop idol or celebrity. i'm sure they have absolutely no idea how to handle themselves without some sort of assistance and are probably terrible about needing constant validation. would be an absolute joke to "date" one if you could even call it that, which would probably only consist of face timing them while they're getting their hair extensions put in lmao.
going back to the debt and prostitution issue, it'll probably never truly happen but i really hope there would be some sort of awareness about it. so many people made fun of G.NA for her prostitution scandal and ran her out but i can only imagine the amount of debt or the type of obligations she had over her head. you can say whatever you want about a lot of these idols just wanting attention and fame but i still think its terrible that just wanting to pursue your dreams might mean having to prostitute yourself or putting yourself in harms way, or even being forced into it. there's that one actress from boys over flowers who was repeatedly raped and abused and she still never got the proper trials, even with names listed and everything. sad.

The only time I could see him hating it like everybody pretends he does, is when BTS was a broke nugu group.
I bet he's glad he gave up his little underground rap bs in favor of this. It brought him more fame, money and women than anything else would've and that's all he really cares for.

I used to think Mark from nct was a cute and talented kid but now he comes off as a boring social inept that tries too hard to play the nice idol character…
It seems like after shinee's debut sm started giving their new groups autism pills, that's why exo, red velvet and nct are so bad at variety which is a shame because I like some of the members of each group and the company gives them nice songs (at least they suit my tastes) but exo's showtime was 80% boring, same with nct's trip to japan thing… As for red velvet, I tend to cut some slack to gg because they have to act even more soft and cute to get that uncle buck (which results into a watered down version of their personalities) but once you've watched a couple of shows and your curiosity dies because you feel like you know them already, it's absolutely pointless to keep up with their promotions aside from music shows, specially when fans make compilations of the few funny or interesting moments.
I also blame show producers and writers because, always asking them if they have a "talent" so they come up with the dumbest quirky "ability" or making them do the same things over and over like they only promote in one show during the comeback period gets really boring… I think that's why non fans are tired of idols being everywhere, they keep trying to push them into every single piece of media without taking into account if they're actually good at it of have anything to contribute, which results into bad rep for them and the company but at the end of the day, they only care about making money and doing fanservice so I don't even know why I'm complaining lol
Sorry for the long rant, friends

>>285976>but once you've watched a couple of shows and your curiosity dies because you feel like you know them already>It seems like after shinee's debut sm started giving their new groups autism pillsi honestly feel like this is with kpop in general. i think with the increase in social media it has just made for a cesspool of fans. not that they weren't before but social media just gives them a whole new platform. years ago idol shows were actually interesting, as different groups and members were allowed to interact with each other and different shows could have different concepts without fans being absolute butthurt or trying to ship the fuck out of them.
>if they have a "talent" so they come up with the dumbest quirky "ability" or making them do the same things over and overi'm the same anon who brought up the irene not filling out the form hate, and i think things like this are exactly why idol show ratings are down so low and makes idols branch out to other medias. PDs try to avoid having different idols together so they only invite the one group and there's only so much you can do, so all these shows do the same thing from personality forms, "talents", trends, etc. i realize that sometimes different groups or idols will do a show together but it isn't often. i also think idols having insane schedules contributes to this too. with idols not being able to promote themselves as effectively on shows, i think companies then try to branch them out to bring more attention to them.
anyways, sorry it's so long but it's some food for thought

what do you guys think of the new SNSD subunit to make up for their member loss yet still rake money from the SNSD brand? lol.
i personally think the only reason taeyeon is going along with this is bc sm lets her release albums, seniority, and because her sister is also trying to make a career in sm.

I get the whole anime prince thing they seemed to be going for but the fandom’s response is just strange to me lol. To me he’s handsome, not pretty and certainly not ‘prettier than most female idols xD’ like some stans seem to furiously masturbate over.

>>285982I think this >social media just gives them a whole new platform and >without fans being absolute butthurt or trying to ship the fuck out of them are correlated, because in these new platforms that kind of behavior is basically the norm like, on here we're allowed to be the pettiest bitches over someone having eyebags or bad plastic surgery, on twitter/tumblr grown ass "sjw" read, share and write ship stuff on the regular about some random idol without any shame because is what the majority does, same with being butthurt over the dumbest shit "you don't like how X sings? that's an ugly opinion. blocked :)" and of course you're allowed to block whatever you don't want to see, that's the good thing of having your own space online, but these reactions are too much and maybe I don't get their humour but calling someone gross because they have a bad opinion of your bias is so weird to me. And because of this exaggerated behavior idols and producers have to be super careful in order to keep the fans happy, even nowadays anytime exo is on variety if someone says or does something "bad" to one of the members they immediately apologize to their fans, which is pretty sad.
>i also think idols having insane schedules contributes to this tooabsolutely, working on such a hectic industry just makes performers and staff tired to the point of not being able to do a good job and promotes recycling ideas and producing mediocre content (>so all these shows do the same thing).
When you look past the layering of the clothes, the colorful hairstyles and the makeup you realize how empty kpop videos usually are and that can apply to anything really, from actual songs to variety shows, without all the editing and effects, people would immediately realize how little thought goes onto them.

I'm genuinely amazed at how bad BTS new release turned out to be, you'd think now they'd be able to get popular western producers to make stuff for them, what is this trash? Do they save on music production or something? Fans are praising the choreo so much, but it's so bland? It looks like a mix of Not Today and Fire. And why did they have to deliver the message to the haturz again, they already did it with the Mic Drop. They're acting like some lolcows on this site who get defensive for the pettiest reasons.

has any other sm idol given up as early as yeri has? i know she was a big fan/friend of jonghyun but her fans using that as a defense of her never being any good are reaching.
tvxq- jaejoong and changmin were probably the worst dancers but could still keep up and put effort in, jaejoong was the second best singer and changmin improved massively when they became a duo
snsd- tiffany is famously a terrible dancer but was enthusiastic enough that people found it cute, even jessica didn't completely phone it in until about 6 years into debut. they're way past their best at dancing but a few years in they still had pretty tight formations
shinee- i never followed super closely but again, i don't remember anyone ever being so bad at dancing that they threw off the group
fx- also didn't follow much but the only time someone clearly gave up was sulli right before she quit being an idol to model for a pedo instead
exo- really didn't follow but all of the critique i've seen is of some of them being bad dancers but not of being lazy or anything
i don't find a lot of sm visuals like sehun attractive but at least then the designated useless member is actually getting fashion deals and stuff, yeri really does seem like one of the most useless idols in sm history. yoona spent years as the basic pretty idol, yoochun was popular and composed some of db5k's best songs, krystal gets a lot of fashion/photoshoot work, minho got a lot of acting jobs even if he's not that good, but yeri isn't that popular, doesn't get work outside of rv, doesn't contribute much to the group and actively takes away from them sometimes
No. 286620
>>286614i'm honestly tired of yeri, she's a cute girl but adding someone that can't sing or dance to a four people group was a dumb dumb decision, not like the other four are good at both, but at least they're good at one and decent at the other. with her voice she really should try to dance better…
also, i remember reading some knetizen's comments on yeri saying she's only interested in being friends with people she can benefit off and that's why she's always so close to taeyeon, key, naeyeon and such…

>>286622given how often idols stop being friends or seem to eventually hate each other I wish there was more talk about it, it's like when old Disney channel stars would be dating or have drama with each other and be mortal enemies, even idols in their mid 20s act about as mature as teen stars. there's not enough petty friendship drama in kpop and hardly anybody even translates the rumor mills that have about a 50:50 chance of being completely fake.
I want to know how real the beef between Jessica and Taeyeon was, if the rest of Miss A really hated Suzy, there's the thing where Twice's Jeongyeon seems to hate Jimin, Jaejoong still posts bitchy emo girl posts about BoA nearly 10 years after they stopped being best friends, Super Junior probably got into some real fights at some point. I find rumors about idols hating each other way more exciting than dating rumors but fans claim every single idol has RBF and doesn't hate anyone/have a bad attitude

>>286692After School would definitely have some of the most interesting stories if any of them actually opened up about it, but it seems like they all want to just move on from it.
Do any of the others still hang out with Kahi? I thought it was kind of a known fact by now that she was way too strict on the younger members and took the leader role too seriously and said some of the younger girls deserved to be hit, then after she left said the others bullied her and left her out. I honestly think shed be criticized more for that and for being really strict on Produce 101 if it wasn't for Park Yoochun's scandal. Having your ex be accused of multiple sexual assaults when you're now happily married with kids is always going to make your image seem better. If it wasn't for that then she'd get more shit for being obsessed with hierarchies and the fact that she was 23 and he was 17 would probably come up too.

that and the reaction to top's scandal have got to be two of the biggest bullshit reactions to idol scandals i've ever seen. dude ODed and his mom was crying about if he'd wake up and the comments were awful. a lot of the time when idols get criticised i don't care because i think it's just part of what happens when a lot of people know who you are, but every so often there's the big scandal of somebody getting death threats over something so minor. the top thing only came to mind because right after the collab with bts went out nicki minaj posted a video of her smoking a blunt and it's just still so wild how strong the backlash against him was

>but every so often there's the big scandal of somebody getting death threats over something so minorit's funny how such minor issues get blasted the most but issues such as rape, DUIs, assault, and much more is hushed and thoroughly questioned. it's a death sentence to your career for simply looking at your nails and don't you dare try to explain yourself but if you rape someone or kill/harm someone while drunk driving the victim must be throughly questioned or we must see all sides of the situation. it's absolutely ridiculous.

i think the only gripe i have with her is that i wish she got a proper vocal coach or if she does at least attempt notes at her range rather than trying to attempt the big ones and coming off all screechy.

If I was the choreographer for this dance I would've been pissed. Where the fuck is their manager disciplining them? Her family must have money or be someone's favorite in management.

Does someone ~actually cares~ about this? Like, srsly? We all know idols work in sub-human conditions, they can't eat properly so they develop EDs, they can't sleep, they have to smile even if they are on their period or if grandma just died, they faint, etc etc, and I am not mentioning this to excuse her shitty dancing, because does someone here actually care?
No. 286960
>>286811And the only reason she is getting positivity is due to nationalistic reasons.
TDLR: Sulli posted a Instagram photo taking about comfort women, Japanese netizens criticized and threatened her. Korean netizens (rightfully) say wtf and defend her. Also one of the Japanese Produced 101 members stopped following her after that post so Koreans are mad about that too.

saying something problematic once or twice =/= a racist. her being one would imply she looks down on black people which she clearly does not. throwing around the word racist over the most minuscule things cheapens the term.anyway, i never understood why she had her jaws taken away while irene got to keep hers? irene gets praised and drooled over by frothing at the mouth fans for being ‘the epitome of korean beauty!!’ all the time despite looking average as fuck for an idol and has noticeably bigger jaws than wendy ever had. retarded styling by incompetent stylists aside, wendy always had rather delicate and feminine features compared to the other rv members (at least before yeri was added). it’s almost impressive how the stylists manage to fuck her up every. single. comeback.

>>286821I follow Sunmi from the WG era and she's always had issues with her weight, she used to nag the other members and ask them if they though her face was "too big", and in the dancing practices you can see she has no thighs. It's just a long, straight line. So I don't buy the "naturally skinny" bs for one moment, I'm pretty thin myself but my spine doesn't pop out like that.
Also, if she really had problems gaining weight that would still be concerning, even more probably. The "look away" mindset of her stans is dangerous.

They didn't have the same charisma during Holiday Night that they had in previous comebacks. And the styling in Holiday was wack, and the styling in this comeback looks wack too. Holiday Night wasn't a good album IMO, so I'm not looking forward to this comeback. Is SM giving them shitty comebacks and outfits on purpose?
I want them to go out gracefully, so we can have good memories of them, not keep dragging it on even when it's clear the magic isn't there anymore. But like you said SM wants money so we get a new SNSD comeback.

>>287098>>287389i think super junior are pretty much in charge of all of their own activities and sublabel in order to get any releases, tvxq only had 2 weeks of promotions for their 15th anniversary comeback before being shipped back for another japan tour, exo have the mess with lay and haven't had a comeback yet this year when the members are going to have to start enlisting in about a year from now, those 3 are some of the highest earners but the money comes from touring more than sales at this point. shinee are kind of a special case this year so i don't know how to evaluate them.
f(x) lost the moneymakers sulli (quit), victoria (in china) and krystal (busy with other stuff) and those 3 as individuals make more money than the group. imo snsd's last two comebacks only did well because of ot8 fans making sure that the sales were high after jessica left and then for the 10th anniversary, realistically the successful individual members will make more money alone unless they have a japan tour and that's not likely now that they're down to 5. sm pulled the "members have left but they're still a group!" before with csjh the grace and they never came back as a full group.
nct seems kind of like a passion project so they won't be dropped yet, and red velvet are doing really well given that they're clearly one of sm's B grade groups and not meant to be their next snsd so both of those groups are going to get pushed for now

best album nearly always goes to the highest seller so armys will riot if it's not bts, song of the year is going to be between boom boom and love scenario (viral hit vs popular song), it was a super quiet year for debuts so the only possibility really is (g)i-dle, then loona and stray kids as nominations. shawols are already heating up about making sure jonghyun gets awards for his last possible year, but i think there could be some kind of nice tribute to him. i don't think you need to vote for someone just because they've passed away, but i'm really not looking forward to the kind of disrespectful comments you know it's going to cause. mama voting especially is always the biggest mess.
there's only even a handful of memorable stages over the years from award shows and end of year events so the fanwars are the only entertaining part about it

I think Love Scenario was more popular but YG has a shit relationship with a bunch of companies so I wouldn't be surprised if they don't win much.
For the rookie girl groups it'll be G-idle - P48 group - Loona. Loona has better album sales than I thought they'd get but their digitals aren't good enough for them to have a chance.
Rookie boy groups it'll probably be Stray Kids or The Boyz. The Boyz have a decent chance of winning if they separate the categories by gender imo.
