Rant about Kpop, its creepy fandoms, and/or its fucked up industry. Or just nitpick some idols.


· Don't racebait
· Don't fangirl. Save that for the Kpop General thread here: >>232763
· Don't derail about dumb shit. If it doesn't directly have to do with Kpop, don't post about it here.

Keep in mind that this is not the Korea critical thread. It's not about Korean society as a whole.

not even surprised that bang si hyuk (bang PD) apparently said something about "liking the way he views the world" about Akimoto Yasushi, the man they're collaborating with for their japanese comeback. they continue to work with a bunch of shitty people within their company and they even collaborated with nicki minaj despite her recent issues. business is business ig, but armys swear bighit cares sooooo much about "the boys" outside of money.

people are dogging on her plastic surgery but honestly she wasnt particularly pretty to begin with without a ton of makeup

i personally think she was fairly cute during their early years but not a stunning beauty like that of a korean beauty such as jun ji hyun or of the likes. her face is a little too doughy and childish for me to think she was a top beauty, so i do think she was a little overrated especially after her plastic surgery. she's always been just cute/pretty to me; not bad to look at but overrated.

tiffany, jessica, or yoona were way prettier to me than taeyeon.

They are acting like the BIGGEST douches on this song, also it sucks as I predicted it would. Sehun really is useless, he doesn't even sing only talks the whole song. He raps but he's so unconvincing as a rapper it hurts. Chanyeol should sing and leave rapping to other idols.

Only thing positive is it seems idols lately are bulking up? I've noticed several of them already with bigger arms, etc. Less skinny freaks, except Suga he'll always be spoopy.

I looked up pre-debut pictures of Yoona and I think she honestly looked great aside from maybe her nose. She was already so pretty and didn’t need a jawshave. Now her face reminds me of an oddly shaped egg and the skin around her chin area sags so much. Like, her neck looks too lonk compared to the rest of her face now.

I'm not familiar with SNSD since I got into kpop recently, but I remember seeing said photo on a plastic surgery thread. Yuri is it right? God, look at that sag on her jaw, it's terrible. And it's not the expression on her face, there's a more photos that show how progressively worse it got.

No. 295867

>>295475
I don’t see anything wrong with her nose here. It’s not big in any way and suits her face. You should be able to breathe through those things, you know.

Honestly she along with most other idols was pretty enough from the start, prettier than many idols that have had tons of procedures. This compulsively destroying idols’ faces seemingly just for the hell of it sends the message that they’re trying really hard to compensate for something they know they’re lacking in. Talent, stage presence, body shape, who cares just cut a little here and there and make them starve and people will have something else to talk about. Sigh.

Whoever makes the decision to put a 14yo under the knife deserves to be shot in the face, no edge or PS joke intended. It’s so fucking vile.

I feel bad for younger iola nd trainees who get so much work done in their teen years. A lot of procedures don’t age well and so much growth naturally occurs in those teen years. To have chemical injections and bone re-structuring done when you’re fifteen before your natural features can finally settle in is risky.

Anyway, I know that Jessica’s gotten comments about having a really strong jaw pre-debut but I don’t think she needed the shave either. Her features were already so pretty.

I don’t get why Koreans insist that Sooyoung is one of the uglier SNSD members along with Hyoyeon and Sunny. Is it because she’s naturally tanner and kept her naturally rounder, squarer jae after debut instead of opting for a v-line? If so, Korea’s beauty standards are really too stupid and narrow. She’s one of the members who was already pretty pre-debut.

No. 295896

i don’t listen to kpop like 99% of the posters in these threads but k beauty standards get on my last fucking nerve. like i thought we had it bad enough in the west lmao we really don’t. i almost feel bad for all the non-korean kpoppies for having assembly line women and guys to look up to but that’s their problem for having shit taste and fetishizing actual people.

fr though, is it true that plastic surgery is a super common present for an 18th birthday? it’s not even racist to say they look exactly the same at this point, they’re made that way.

She’s one of the prettiest girls in Kpop imo. She looks doll-like and her eyes are super big and doe-y and beautiful. Putting her on the same level as Hyoyeon and Sunny is shitty.

Anyway, she definitely has the hottest boyfriend among all members (present and past) so I highly doubt she’s considered genuinely homely though.

I think it's her nose rather than her jaw, it's not the high and pointy type they like. They say she looks South East Asian and I can see it, but that's a bad thing to Koreans. And yeah, the tan obviously.

No. 295903

Are you blind? She most definitely messed with her jaw, square where? Koreans don’t like her because she isn’t as baby faced and cute as say taeyeon, or yoona.

I'm in the same boat as you anon. I don't listen to kpop but these days it feels inescapable so I end up having opinions. I agree the beauty standards are shit. The most embarrassing part in my opinion is that all seems to be part of a sort of nationalist overcompensation like "Our women are most beautiful in the world","Our men are the most handsome" "We Koreans have the whitest purest skin". It all comes down to this strange inferiority complex that's both desperate and unattractive.
The fact that they obsess about "visuals" and "proportions" says it all imo.
To contrast, take Japan- which has it's own laundry list of issues ranging from obsessive infantilization to ana-tier body worship- but at least due to "cuteness" being the gold standard and not perfect beauty they don't all buy the same face at the ps office.

I find her really pretty tbh. I know she doesn’t sing or rap very well but she seems to be a genuinely talented dancer from what I’ve seen of her, although I do think she hasn’t been allowed to showcase it enough for anyone to really judge it but that’s on YG’s cheap ass.

To each his own anon. Tbf they style her really well. She doesn't look mixed to me at all especially if you take a look at some of her more natural less flattering pre-debut pictures.

This is such and accurate and well-worded statement. The follow K-netizen comments from this one post perfectly exemplify what you're talking about:

After a jaw shave surgery the skin doesn't shrink to fit the new jaw, it stays the same. If a lot of jaw was shaved, this turns the skin into a weird skin sac that doesn't fit the skull which can end up being worse than what the patient started with. Personally, I'd prefer a strong jaw over a sagging one, but that's just me.

I watched a good video a while back that theorised South Korea's obsession with beauty and appearance was created from the entertainment they had after they'd become more developed as a country; it was mostly television and game shows with attractive idols and models and such. I think that's pretty accurate when wondering why they're so obsessed with beauty back there to unhealthy standards. Also makes me think they have an inferiority thing where they always fall back on appearance to seem better than other countries and have some sort of advantage because for a while SK was a very undeveloped country in terms of identity. No wonder so many people kill themselves there honestly. Having a whole country fixated on shallow looks and plastic surgery and perfect looking idols to be influenced from is a recipe for disaster and self hate in its people

I don't think the conversation would be the same if she was notably talented at something, but unfortunately she's already kind of just an extra member in a group that already has more members than it needs.

Does anyone else have a problem with fans referring to idols by their real names? Frankly, there are stage names like Suga and J-Hope that sound ridiculous, but fans referring to them by their bio names seems a little too personal. Like, these idols have an image/persona cultivated for them that ties into their stage name. It feels like a boundary's being crossed when you refer to someone you don't even know well like you would with a sibling, good friend, or SO. I don't know.

Yep. I should also add that you don't typically see Cardi B fans or Nicki Minaj fans refer to them by their real first names. It's so different with K-pop idols. I wonder if it's because of the pseudo-romantic relationships so many idols try to establish with their fans.

No. 296288

>>296280
I think it's dramatic to consider it crossing boundaries or offensive/rude to the idol in any way, if the idol was so worried about it they'd hide their real names properly. It's just a really embarassing and transparent attempt by the fan to seem 'close' to their idol, like how they can them 'our boys' etc. It's so performative and unnatural.

No. 296294

>>296280
>Does anyone else have a problem with fans referring to idols by their real names?
Not really. A lot if not most idols use their given names as stage names anyway, so if the stage name were to create some form of boundary then where would that leave them? Regardless of whether idols use stage names a lot of their nicknames tend to be derived from their real names anyway, so in that case that should be even more intrusive but it’s completely normalized within the industry.

I agree that fans trying to act all intimate and buddy-buddy with idols like they know them IRL is kind of cringey but at the end of the day harms no-one and rather plays into the idol’s favor since a happy fan means yet another stan to buy albums and stream music to fuel their lifestyle.

No. 296298

>>296280
Doesn't really bother me. IMO that kind of thing depends on how closely they tie their public image to their stage name. Like in this anon's example >>296282 I didn't even know Nicki Minaj's real name for years because she presents herself entirely under the name Nicki Minaj, whereas many idols refer to each other casually by their real names. People rarely call Taehyung "V", so I don't feel weird calling him Taehyung.

There is no reason for I-fans to not use V, or RM, or rapmon, all of which are easier to type/say than namjoon.

I’ve never quite understood the hype Suzy gets from K-pop fans and the public in Korea. They always make her out to be some ethereal goddess and of of the top visuals of her era. She’s pretty but very vanilla. In my opinion, she can’t hold a candle to Fei when it comes to looks (but Koreans probably don’t seem fond of Fei cuz she’s Chinese and tan, unfortunately).

This whole streaming obsession is so stupid, everyone knows these numbers don't represent the actual number of people BTS is reaching. I understand that they are trying to break records but 10 random people listening the song once is more valuable than the same 1 fan listening to the same song 10 times.
I hope something like that never happens to anyone but I'm afraid army's stupidity might cause something really bad one day. Some of them don't realize that they are damaging their oppars and uwu baby boys more than anyone else

Yeah, this stuff only harms BTS. The more they're puffed up in the media as "global artists" (using Spotify numbers as proof etc) the more humiliating it's going to be when it becomes clear that only their fans know who they are, and they fade back into obscurity. As compared to everyone and their dog knowing Gangnam Style. In the UK we had fucking Ed Balls dancing to it on Strictly, people dancing to it at their weddings, etc. That's the kind of popularity with the general public BTS will never achieve.
Sorry to rant a bit more, but part of me wishes that they could just be a popular group in SK/Asia and among Kpop fans, but having the BTS-as-global-megastars hype is setting a standard for them that I just don't believe they can live up to. It's the difference between them having a good career by any normal standard and being set an immensely high standard of "global megastars" that they can't achieve and by THAT standard being a failure. Seems a shame.

i don't think any measure of popularity (expect possibly conterts and tours) is going to be a very accurate reflection of reality so i hate how obsessed with them kpop fans are. people buying 10+ copies of an album seriously inflates the numbers. there's always going to be chinese millionaires buying crates of albums but it's so common now that r/kpop threads about album releases nearly always have some comments like "how many copies is everyone getting, i was thinking 6 this time". i really think album sales could easily be halved in a lot of cases if the numbers were a reflection of purchasers and not purchases. probably more than that in some cases!

the way kpop companies have kpoppies snatched by the balls seriously amazes me every time. think about it: we all know the physical album business is dying, and that's what makes artists and companies a good amount of money outside of touring. streaming doesn't do jack shit for them. so they get their stupid rich (sometimes not even rich–just stupid) fans to care about irrelevant charts and titles that convinces them to buy a shit ton of albums just to get them to the top of that chart. sometimes these fans buy them in the bulk, whether it's 10, 30, or 500.
shoot, haven't exo-ls and armies managed to get EXO and BTS to "over" a million album sales just from their bulk buying?

and kpop companies know just a CD won't work, because barely anybody uses them, so they stuff them with a bunch of merchandise like a photo book and cards and stickers and shit. and they make each one individualized by each member of their big ass groups, so fans feel the need to buy a bunch of albums just to get the one they want, since companies make sure not to make it possible to choose which one you'd want a majority of the time.

sorry for the thesis ya'll, i just had to get this out, anytime i think about how much these kpop companies have finessed the physical album business it gets me going LMAO

It’s not that weird that they can’t say them correctly because korean has sounds that English (or whatever other language they speak) doesn’t have. Vise versa too. It’s not natural for them to pronounce a name like jungkook correctly, they don’t know that the k sounds are really in between a g and a k and the last consonant shouldn’t be aspirated at all. Especially korean vowels are so much more rounded than American English ones. Even something as simple as “tae” gets said as “tay” naturally by many English speakers when it really should be a flat “teh” and the stressed words/syllables in korean are different than in English too. Obviously they can’t be perfect and Koreans can’t pronouce English names perfectly either, but when there is an easier to write/pronounce option handed to fans on a silver platter and they choose to instead butcher Korean names and act like it’s just ~easier? Embarrassing.

Agreed, that's what I was thinking as well. I used to study Korean so I understand what you mean. I agree that "Jeongguk" or "Taehyung" aren't the easiest names to pronounce for someone who doesn't speak Korean, I said it's normal that non-Koreans are having trouble pronouncing their real names, but it's weird when these fans constantly hear the correct pronunciations in videos where members talk with each other, yet still pronounce their names wrong.
I saw some video where a shipper was trying to analyze Taehyung and Jeongguk to prove that Taekook is real. She went really deep, went through so many details and obviously watched tons of videos to find proofs, but she was pronouncing their names completely wrong lol. It's funny that they think they know everything about them when they can't even pronounce their names correctly

Like, it was never as ground-breaking and ~ w o k e ~ but they had some fun and/or chill songs.

I think the enjoyability BTS' music started to go downhill ever since their sound started become less hip-hop. Their rappers are okay for the industry's standards, their vocalists could be considered okay if the group stayed rap-focused. The vocal line of BTS is so weak compared to the other vocal-focused Kpop groups. The Love Yourself albums were so mediocre, Idol and DNA were weak title tracks. I'm curious what they are going to come up with next, they need to drop the generic sound. I don't know if they will try to improve when armys don't care about the quality of their music and will hype anything they put out anyway though.

I went to a kpop concert this year alone(plz no roast) and while in line I was stuck talking to a saesang (I later found her social media and it checked out). She had been to every stop at the tour and apparently found out which flights the group was going to be on (through saesang sites) and booked seats for herself. She bragged about essentially harassing them in the airportLike she legitimately thought she was flirting with one of the members.

She told me about how she was passing a note to the member she harassed (said that he started it lol) and then got in trouble when the member told a flight attendant to get her to leave him alone. It was an incredibly bizarre experience. Everything she said about essentially stalking them she twisted to make it sound like the member she liked was into it. Saesangs are truly delusional. I could go on about this experience because she said so much shit that made her sound crazy and almost dangerous but kept talking to her because she was fascinating. She was also in her early 30's I believe. A big part of me thinks she made it all up, which is weirder to me for some reason.

it makes me laugh so hard when fans criticize girl groups for having stupid or sexual dances that are all the same (which a lot of them are, don't get me wrong) but then turn around and say how complex and ~unique~ boy group dances are. boy groups have just as retarded dance routines and do just as much fan service in their dances as girl groups do. also, i think the only time i ever enjoyed a boy group covering a girls song was when seventeen does it, as they actually attempt to do it well. boy groups doing ridiculous covers of girl groups were funny the first few times, but now it's just annoying.

also, what is it with fans thinking every song needs a complex dance routine to it? and then they all want them to sing live? and make it 100% perfect every time? like there's nothing wrong with high standards, but you're going to have to choose 2 out of 3 a majority of the time–they can't sing live, have insane dance routines, and hit every note and move perfectly at the same time.

I got into kpop not too long ago, maybe a year or so, before that I just listened to the few songs my friends showed me but I decided that I wanted to see what was the hype about and learn some dances since they seemed fun, needless to say that after I discovered fancams I got pretty disappointed. Once you realize that the formula of kpop choreographies is having a group of mediocre dancers (to take advantage of the cheerleader effect) + good camera work you won't see them the same way.

And yeah, boy groups usually have harder dances but that doesn't make them any better when 1. the routines are just bad and look retarded 2. half of the members don't know how to dance (vid related at 4:22).

>the only time i ever enjoyed a boy group covering a girls song was when seventeen


agreed. they seem to take it as seriously as they take their own songs (at least from the videos I've seen) and if it's just an act at least they're being respectful, although it may have to do with the fact that they have fairly cute concepts, like adore u, pretty u or mansae and they're used to it.

And speaking of those songs. I honestly don't hate cute concepts on gg the problem is that they're so passive and boring. You can be energetic and have initiative while being cute and charming… But no, of course they have to act like clueless kids for their uncle fans, instead of doing a fun and somewhat challenging choreo while singing about how the boy you like makes you feel happy when he laughs or something like that.

The sexism and obsession with looks is so bad in Korea, that apperantly the 3 scratches on her ex's face are much worse than Hara's internal bleeding.

>There could be a chance that she realized she's in the wrong so she hurt herself and went to get medical records of it. If a man really wanted to beat her, it wouldn't have just ended in bruises like that.


>Hmm… if the man really wanted to beat her, he could've really done it, and yet she has no bruises on her face… I feel like she was just in a state of rage and hurt herself. If a man really wanted to beat her, like I said, he could just end her life.


>She shouldn't be smiling in a situation like this. Either way, she scratched up someone's face, that's not a laughing matter.

same, these 2 are some of their best songs. i find their pre-wings stuff enjoyable, dope, just one day, tomorrow, baepsae, cypher 2&3. their latest albums seem so rushed compared to their earlier music.

i think the video for i need u was pretty good. as i remember that video was made with a tight budget, they used their manager's car and they used the bighit staff as actors because they couldn't afford extras at that time. it's better most of the pretentious pseudo-intellectual videos they make nowadays.

What the hell is this? Seems to be a China boy group under JYP, with kids reeeeally young, from 11 to 14. The teasers and images are so grown up and make me uncomfortable, like they make the little kids stare at the camera like regular idols. And they use makeup on them and stuff, but the worst is the comments. I haven't seen anything straight pedo but they are already fangirling about small kids and I can just image 20 year old women on the other side of the keyword.

i can maybe understand viewing them as more of a younger brother/son type, but it's still strange to fangirl over an actual child. i can't even think of a western equivalent to this…yes there are child performers, but they're pretty much strictly marketed to kids and never portrayed in such a strangely adult way like this

Are you new to kpop? The moment these kids grow a few inches you'll see their "noonas" screaming "the disrespect!! why you so handsome now" etc, they will sexualize them the second they look "old enough" for them. And try to hide it behind the "proud mom" excuse. It's disgusting.

also, jyp can release as much music and shit that he wants but he won't distract me from the fact that he is supposed to do a press conference about the religious cult that he apparently is a part of. apparently it's going to be held this month, september, but it's almost half way through the month and there hasn't been any report on whether he's going to hold it or not.

not necessarily responding to your exact question, but it's within the same topic ig?
i'm genuinely curious what these people are like in real life. are they autistic? never go outside? have no friends? are secretly in love with their friends/think their friends are secretly in love with them??? like you said, i don't really care about fictional shipping, but shipping real people who are friends is so fucking weird. it's not even just a stan thing; people ship even youtubers who just happen to work together in the same environment and are comfortable with each other, regardless if they are already in relationships with other people. they must seriously not have normal social lives if they actually think two people so much as smiling at each other means they want to shag behind the scenes and are hiding a romantic relationship from the world.

it's one thing to think two people would make a cute couple, but shipping stans go waaaay overboard, it's past creepy.

I saw a video someone made about Lisa's weightloss (blackpink) and the comments astounded me. These delusional fans kept saying she was "body goals" and "not too skinny". Are these people blind? Lisa is way too thin, and so is the rest of the group besides like Jisoo. These fans are literally insane. Making excuses saying they're so thin because they practice a lot?? Obviously not if their live shows are literal ass and they constantly forget dances. jfc I can't stand it. Blackpink is so lazy to begin with, wdym "it's because of practice!!!".

Not sure if this has been posted before, but how is this supposed to work out? How can it be funny or entertaining when they don't understand what he says?

It's seriousy embarrassing that they don't learn English. There are other non-native speakers working in the american entertainment industry (something bts are clearly interested in as well) and they all put in the effort to at least learn the language. Quite rude actually, that they always demand everybody caters to them by providng translaters or having rapmonster do all the work. If I were him I'd put my foot down long ago.

Hey general question for kpop fans/ex-fans. Why is it every time a group releases new material its called a comeback and subsequent performances are called a "comeback stage" when usually they aren't coming back from anything. I mean they are still around doing tv or concerts during that time. they never went away so to speak. When I think of a comeback, I think of an artist that's been out of the public eye or is dwindling in popularity for some time. Is that kpop's way if acknowledging their artists are totally forgettable?

I figured it's due to the constant spew of content going through the kpop streams. There are some groups who have 3 comebacks a year, which is why BP fans freak when coming back after two years or several is considered normal in the US.

So to answer your question: Yes, Kpop groups are very much forgettable. The use of the world comeback is to get fans or fans who've moved on to other groups hyped.

Their fans seriously bask in BTS' nationalism. I'm not saying don't be proud of your country, but if you're actively going to American talk shows and interviews, and promoting there, at least make the effort to learn English. Like deadass, BTS have made full albums in Japanese, you can't tell me they can't make the effort to bust out some fully refined English. At this point, it makes me think that the BigHit ceo, Bang Penis, may be a full blown supporter of Japanese neo-nazis. RE: Holocaust memorial + having BTS collab with a neo-nazi.

To be fair they don't speak japanese on japanese talk shows/interviews either, and if they do it's on par with what the stuff they say in english interviews. The only group/solo artist I know that are actually fluent are DBSK and Boa, maybe KARA too, and they had to do that because back then they weren't trying to make it as "Kpop artists" but as Jpop artist. They also regularly work with Japanese producers whereas your average Kpop group just awkwardly translates their korean songs into japanese.
Kpop is a niche genre there now, just how it is in the west, and the people that buy their music know this and don't care. It's like how your average weeb doesn't want a dub for their anime, as long as there's subs they'll buy it. It's almost part of the product, so to say.
This entire western promo is just promo for BTS in Korea essentially, as it's always been. When BTS were fucking nobodies in Korea they had a bigger fandom in the west and used that fact to media play in Korea, which gave them the clout to become what they are today.
Seeing Koreans get triggered by BigHit wanting to collaborate with a supposed Japanese right-winger and responding with almost as equally cancerous nationalism was pretty funny ngl. The irony.

I don’t care for BTS interviews outside of Korea but they’re actually being coddled as much as you claim they are, that’s really embarrassing.

They love that American clout but it sounds like they aren’t really trying that hard to adapt.

Another idol that I think could just come out already is Jo Kwon. He’s so flamboyantly gay that anyone can sense it from a mile away. I’m definitely making asssumptions here but his love for dressing up in drag, highly campy mannerisms/personality, him getting caught at a gay club, and same-sex dating rumors make it hard to believe he’s 100% hetero. No one would be surprised by him coming out. I don’t think the backlash would be too bad either because his group (2AM) is also dead and the South Korean public seems to have accepted his persona by this point.

Korean Christians are fucking insane whether or not they have lived in America or if they’ve never spoken a word of English in their lives. There are SO many cults, and even ones that aren’t technically cults act culty by trying to trick people into joining and trying to take over their lives. They bring that crazy hierarchical, follow the leader bullshit into everything they do. There are so many groups walking the streets going up to people like “do you know our holy mother?” Reading off of cue cards because they can’t actually speak English, trying to get your money and info. My Christian friend literally stopped going to church while she lived in Korea because the way they do things made her so uncomfortable. Yes they try to influence politics. Yes they are dangerous.

No, Christianity is not as big there as in the west and homophobia there isn’t religion-based, but they have their own special fucked up way of doing things. And yeah some younger Koreans might be more okay with homosexuality but don’t let that fool you - many young people openly told me they thought it was a disease and that gays are depraved (mostly just gay men) and there is really not much of an opportunity to come out of the closet if you want to live a normal life. There are no anti-discrimination laws.

And yeah blah blah blah this isn’t a korean culture thread, but so much wrong information gets passed on through the kpop fandom. Saying amber is somehow more closeted because she’s American is insane. There are SO MANY closeted idols who have never left their country except to do concerts in Japan or whatever.

Female idols are skinny, but why is that older girl groups during their peeks looked really skinny for real while nowadays, girl groups, albeit skinny, look really flabby? Like, compare their legs to SNSD gee era, or BEG abracadabra era, or KARA from the same time… I don't know how to put this, but it seems like they were more "dry" body wise, no extra fat, no flab on the legs, while nowadays everyone looks kinda flabby.

I think it has to do with color grading from official shows and fancams that make idols paler but to the detriment of making muscle tone disappear. Also the high-waisted bottom with cropped tops that's everywhere highlights the wider parts of the torso compared to the low/midrise of the 2000s.

There's a few idols I think who are still comparable to the lean and cut figures of peak SNSD and 9muses, but they all happened to be darker and prefer lower rise bottoms.

But it just might be that the 2000s Western hyperskinny trend also impacted Kpop, and there's surgical treatments that don't improve muscle tone, as you pointed out.

totally weird to stay thin the way nature accounted for instead of hoping you can eat the exact amount of calories to be rail thin but not hospitalized kek. like i sympathize that not every girl likes a toned look and i sympathize with the appeal of looking thin in a more delicate way, but it's such a neurotic ana mentality thing if they're acting like healthy lifestyle is somehow the weird one.

i wouldn't be surprised if idols throw that food up the minute they get off set. either that or they probably starve for a little while afterwards. i still think holding idols (especially female) to such a high beauty standard but then always wanting them to do shit with food is one of the shittiest things about kpop. and their fans think it's cute too.

Yeah and even if they ‘win’ some food prize or whatever on a tv show, its not like you see them eat eating full servings. They either get one piece of something or take a few bites and sperg about how its the best damn thing they’ve tasted while it cuts away to the next part of the show.

I love seeing kpop stans cream themselves over darker skin toned idols and praise them for being ~beautiful and confident in their natural skin tone~ who obviously tan their skin to look like that in the first place out of their own preference.

No. 298796

yeah it may kind of be rewarding, but there's a huge chance that they probably throw it up the minute they get off set. bulimia and the sorts is rampant in such beauty-focused industries, especially when you have idols that say shit like "i didn't even eat ice cubes bc i thought i would gain weight" or "i only eat one chicken breast a day." to them it doesn't matter if it's rewarding or delicious after a day of starving–it gets in the way of their diet restrictions.

i'm not discrediting you though, i'm sure there are a ton of idols too who consider it rewarding and don't throw it up along with having normal diets, but i've just heard way too many american stories about celebrities having staff and stuff sneak bottles of water and towels for them and such, so i can only imagine the korean celebrities.

a lot of these idols look so much better with their natural color. hyuna looks absolutely sickening these days with the super pale skin and gauntly figure. i'm sure she used to fake tan in her bubble pop glory days but at least you could remove that shit if you don't end up liking it/wanting to continue with it; you can't remove skin bleach and it's also super dangerous.

i'm pretty sure this point was also brought up, but the blinding white filters also makes them look flat and lifeless, as they get rid of any shadows on the body and it just makes the skin look flat and dull.

Currently living in Korea and can confirm the workout thing. People are super shocked when I tell them I was into heavy lifting in the states and I'm looking for a gym to lift at.

I was talking to a Korean gym bro and he was genuinely shocked that I own protein powder and a shaker bottle. Like jaw to the floor completely astounded that I even knew what protein powder was.

The reason Korean a lot of women are skinny isn't because they're thin naturally or "diet." They don't intake enough protein and many of them live off of those 5 calorie jelly drinks at the convenience stores. They're just skinnyfat or skeletal.

There's a huge influx of fat Koreans though so maybe it's turning around.

The IU Diet is a popular trend by people who "just wanna see if it works!!" and who "aren't doing anything dangerous uwu~" It's an apple and small sweet potato with a low calorie shake per day.

Crash diets are nothing here. These are nosedives into concrete. The ads here around diet products are disgusting, pushing that if you're hungry that you don't need to eat and instead just drink a 5cal drink. Oh wait, now there's a 4cal. Now there's a 3cal! Here, drink this meal replacement protein shake! It's got 80 calories per scooop, and 5g protein! So healthy, Wendy is supporting it! Be an ~idol~ like her!

I swear, Healthy dieting does not exist in Korea. Everything is so extreme, even guys I knew who wanted to lose weight went straight to the go-to diet of eating only one meal per day. No amount of talking about sustainability or suggesting more fruits/veggies instead of meat and alcohol worked. That’s what a diet means to them, just not eating, or eating only a chicken breast for lunch and boiled eggs for dinner, and as much beer as they want. So when I hear of Bts members saying that’s all they ate for a comeback I’m not surprised at all since regular korean guys do the same thing too.

Doesn’t matter how ugly you actually are as long as you check off the list.

The list is longer for women but it’s the same, all they have to do is get plastic surgery to fit the checklist and bam they are beautiful, no matter how alien and weird they look now.

Does anyone know what happened? Maybe it was because of an accident, I hope it's not anything concerning and he's okay

jungkook always has a shit ton of marks and scratches on him. anytime i see pics with his legs exposed he has a shit ton of bruises and scratches on them, and then there was that one injury on both sides of his arm. does he do something in his free time that warrants this? i can’t imagine falling while dancing and shit does all of that.

I remember ARMY went out of their way to discredit this pic and tell everyone it was Photoshop and that JK was fine, but if their offical Twitter has even more pics with the marks then I guess it's real.

Honestly I feel bad for him, his parents pretty much forced him to the idol life at like 13. You can tell that shit really effected him, even he realizes it to some extent by talking about how he stopped aging mentally at 15, which is typically a sign of some type of trauma.
On top of that he grew up having to be hyperconscious of how people viewed him, along with typical teenage shit, like wanting validation of your peers and to learn to be comfortable with who you are.
He openly stated that he couldn't wear the clothes he wants, get the piercings he wants or anything like that because he was scared the fans won't like it, so for awhile at least the way Korea's public saw definitely effected him.
I wouldn't be surprised if he actually was cutting himself at one point.

I feel bad for Jungkook more than the other members. Sure he’s the most popular and that comes with its perks, but he was basically robbed from a chance to grow up normally since he was a teen.

i hate to say it but from what ive heard about korea's mental health facilities, he probably isnt, PLUS the fact that he works as an IDOL, clearly with extremely demanding schedules. kpop companies NEED to treat their idols more like humans, or we're going to be looking at another jonghyun soon. money isnt everything. i mean, even korean esport players get team psychologists to talk to, and they don't make nearly as much money as BTS.

This is actually kind of infuriating. Why does being concerned for someone’s potential self-harm injuries make you a hater? They’re making it seem like suffering from self-harm tendencies is controversial/bad. Do these fans really want their idols to be seen as perfect that badly?

i can buy that it might just be from playing the "wrist hitting game", but totally agree with you - how is being concerned about a celebrity you look up to possibly self-harming considered being 'a hater'?? do fans just not want to face any sort of possibility that their idol isnt living a perfect amazing life so they can buy all their albums and merch and go to their concerts without feeling guilty for funding the industry that puts them into these difficult lifestyles?

I really don't understand the mindset of these kpop cults. Are they trying to pretend everything is fine so they won't feel guilty about a member feeling miserable and stressed, to feel like they're actually enjoying their work? I swear these delusional fans are the absolute worst group of people an artist can have; it's almost like they're encouraging them to work themselves to the point of exhaustion and possible self harm. "uwu oppa is working so hard i'm so proud!!!!" These people disgust me.

WJSN says they haven't been paid yet, three years after their debut.
https://www.soompi.com/article/1232041wpp/wjsn-says-havent-paid-yet-optimistic
"WJSN, now over two years into their careers, revealed recently that they’ve yet to receive payments.

During a press conference on September 17 prior to the group’s comeback with their mini album “WJ PLEASE?” Luda elaborated on what she said about payments on MBC’s Dunia.

She said, “Because it’s a variety show, there’s definitely a part that was jokingly exaggerated. It is true that we haven’t been paid yet. Working since debut, there’s a lot that we’ve learned hands-on. I believe that there are so many things that are more important than [something like payment]. But as hard as we’ve worked on this album, we’re thinking we might be hearing some good news. We want to receive a lot of love from the fans.”

EXY added that “rather than chasing money, we’re working hard and moving up step by step, realizing how special each performance is. We believe that the day will come when we earn a lot and can take care of our parents. We’re not in a hurry.”"

So basically, be an idol, bust your ass for years between training and actual debut, and don't get a single penny in return.

keep in mind though that when a lot of idols talk about not being paid they have free accommodation, free food, free clothes etc as well as what goes to paying off debts and what goes straight back into funding promotions. it's more like they earn absolute minimum wage but the money doesn't actually go to them and goes straight to buying things and paying rent for them. it's still a grim look at idol life for most groups, but it's not like working a regular job and not getting paid where you're not getting free clothes and skincare all the time

what is it with someone always coming in saying they don't feel bad when one person just so happens to slightly comment that they care? if the idol was 18 or older when they signed the contract, that's understandable, but when they're under 18? most of them don't realize the implications of the industry or what it's truly like or may have stage parents that pushed them into it very young. majority of these idols started as trainees as young as 9 or 10 and were clearly taken advantage of; do you not find that slightly disturbing? you say they can "always quit," but can they really? sure, maybe they could, but not without their entire reputation on the line and possibly being blackballed by their company. there's also the legal issues with exiting a contract early and also letting down your fellow team mates.

If she’s actually as established as you’re suggesting, I’m also surprised that this video isn’t blowing up. Maybe it’s because she chose to tell her story in English, or maybe K-pop fans just wanna turn a blind eye.

I hope we can get an actuall tell-all memoir from someone who made debuted in a popular group.

Literally all of the ex K-pop trainees have things to say about how tough the industry actually is. Schedules, looks, weight and diets, dorm life, trying to debut.

same anon from >>299693, idk if she's really "established," she's probably considered nugu to many, but she was on unpretty rapstar season 3, a popular rap program in korea and with international fans. so that's why i said she was more likely to be a more legitimate source for answers to questions about the industry since she's actually been in it and around it. this isn't to say that complaints trainees have made are illegitimate, just that she was probably more involved with the kpop scene itself.

i think a lot of the people who say this about trainees, don't realize what the trainee went into the company originally thinking. they probably were just following their dreams of singing or dancing or being famous and didn't realize the implications that came with it, thus being hit with the truth like a brick. plus a lot of these trainees are super young; i bet it sucks having your dream crushed and spoiled like that so forwardly.

No. 299707

>>299703
I agree with you on how lots of trainees come in not knowing any better and that they shouldn’t be entirely at fault. The K-pop companies that recruit them are aware of how naiive these kids and teens can be . Instead of helping them out in hard times, they choose to resort to exploitation/abuse/guilt-tripping in any way that they can.

I was a huge Shinee fan and I personally don't understand the fandom's logic too. They literally still make memes about Jonghyun as though he's still living, in complete denial. I've barely listened to any of their music ever since his death.

I feel it's somewhat the same situation with Ladies Code where two members passed away, and whilst I appreciate the fact the remaining members still soldiered on and released new singles. Just rubs me the wrong way how dismissive the industry and fans are about death, only throwing publicized funerals and trending hashtags for death anniversaries.

with top that wasn't even the first time he had a rumoured (since i guess it wasn't officially confirmed) suicide attempt. he had one around 2008ish after he broke up with shin min ah. the talk over the first one focuses on the dating more and the talk over the second focuses on the fact that he did the ultimate evil and smoked weed. attempted suicide isn't the fun kind of scandal for people to talk about

Because them mourning the suicide of and idol or being concerned over the attempted suicide of an idol would mean they would have to acknowledge what is at least part of the reason why it happened, which is the insane pressure and inhumane treatment from the idol industry.
They'd rather remain in denial about the industry, and therefore in denial about their idol's death, so they don't have to face the fact that they're supporting companies that abuse and mistreat their oppars, and doing nothing but fueling a industry of suffering and exploitation.

This is sad. Jackson was already naturally good-looking to begin with. South Korean beauty standards are so unrealistic for most Asians to meet so plastic surgery is a must for idols to undergo. Celebrities in the West get work done all of them time but still look natural (most of the time). On the other hand, the average idol has traits like a slim, high-bridged nose, curvy facial side-profile, and paper-white skin that 90% of Koreans aren’t born with.

>>299774
Another case as to why I stopped being invested in K-pop. Jonghyun deserves better. He was one of the idols in the industry that didn’t seem like a one-dimensional asshat. Sure he definitely could have been but even so, his stuff as a solo act has more artistry than most idols’.

Does anyone feel like beauty standards for female idols in South Korea are a little harsher than it is for male ones? Don’t get me wrong because I acknowledge that both genders face lookism and unrealistic beauty standards, but they seem to be stricter for girls-women who stray away from the conventional mold than for guys who do. Like, so many Wanna One member are so average/plain-looking but are worshipped for their visuals or don’t ger heat for them. With legit pretty idols like Doyeon and Sooyoung, they get criticized for their looks often because they don’t perfectly align with the ideal face (in Doyeon’s case it’s her nose and in Sooyoung’s cas it’s her face shape and tan).

Yes of course it’s harsher for women. As that fatass shindong once said, it’s okay for him to be fat because he’s a man.

I think the main difference is the men can still have a career once they let themselves go, and keep fans because of their personality or other talents. But with women, so much of their core worth is how young and pretty they are. Jimin can grow old and fat and host his own variety show. A member of twice grows old and fat?

It bothers me even more when non-korean kpop stars get plastic surgery to fit korean beauty standards.

ah, i see what you mean. same anon you responded to, but it is true that in Korea there is one specific look that everyone tries to obtain facially and style wise, meanwhile in China and Japan it is more accepted to wear different styles and that no matter what your facial features are, you can be deemed pretty as long as you are pretty. Like an anon above said, idols who are already pretty, like doyeon from weki meki, still get comments about how their nose is too big or their eyebrows aren't straight despite them fitting her natural features.
i wonder what it is that makes Korean people so uniform? not trying to hate on the korean people, just it's kind of weird when you see everyone wearing the same exact outfit and the same makeup style and getting the same facial procedures. you can see it in kpop idols: girl groups all wear tennis skirts and sailor shirts, boy groups all wear shorts or a uniform, having the same type of music style, doing the same type of variety, etc.

~this isn’t a korean culture thread but~ conformity is such a highly praised aspect of the culture sometimes I wonder if N. Korea is not a natural evolution of korean culture sans outside influence.

Even when talking to a regular person in Korea, they’d often tell me the acceptable korean opinion in lieu of their own opinion. For example, “what’s your favorite food?” “ kimchi!” Then several days later “why aren’t you eating your kimchi? I thought it was your favorite food?” “Oh no, actually I don’t like kimchi and my favorite food is hamburger but all Koreans love kimchi”

It sounds retarded but i often had to sift through regurgitated propaganda to get to a korean persons real thoughts. from a young age they are really taught to adopt the national identity first and keep their own opinions on the back burner. It sounds extreme but it shows up in small ways like korean friends buying clothes they say they don’t care for but simply got because it’s a popular style or pattern.

Honestly, after experiencing many years of anime and kpop, I've actually came to a point that I secretly despise a lot of stuff about East Asian culture. It's funny but I think it's a full circle phenomenon where you enjoy things out of curiosity, then get really invested, then you learn the history and culture, then you extrapolate that to modern politics and their interaction with other ethnicities and nationalities, and you come out in a weird state of enjoyment/ anger/disgust, then rise and repeat. I dunno, that's just my experience.

I think Japan and Korea exporting cultural influences to the West (which a shitload of it is just, hey check out this West thing but with East Asian sensibilities!) is more nefarious than we think it is, soon China will get on it too.

This is something you'd never hear even the looniest poltard spout because they're weebs too. It's.. suspicious.

That might be a bit ot, but while watching some Asian Boss videos I noticed just how much more confident and honest Chinese women are in comparison to Korea and also Japan. One would imagine China to be more "backwards" in a way. There are also ridiculous beauty standards, yet they don't seem to abide by them as strictly as Koreans do. Just listen to their voices for example, none of them is trying to sound cute at all. Meanwhile the ones about Japan and Korea you have women saying shit like they would forgive cheating etc. Why is that? How can you have all the technology and money you want on your hands, yet still live with such an ancient mindset?


Also, I love your conspracy theories, anons lol.

Any Korean speakers here? They mix Korean and English a lot in K-pop songs, these two languages are completely different from each other so I guess it must be awkward for someone who understands both Korean and English. Most of these lyrics are probably grammatically incorrect. I'm not a native English speaker and if someone made a song in my language mixed with English words it would be too cringy and no one would take it seriously lol

I speak Korean, and sometimes it is incredibly akwarkd.
Besides basic grammar mistakes there is also bad pronounciation and sometimes just thrown in words that have nothing to do with the actual message of the song.

But that's just how it works. English is thrown into the song for the sake of flow and coolness.

Even though China has its own problems (there’s a huge gender imbalance now because for so long they aborted all the female fetuses) my Chinese friends in Korea often felt the same way I did about the culture, it being backwards and misogynistic. One friend told me she felt like they wanted her to go in reverse in terms of her status as a woman in society. Idk how most Chinese ppl feel and she was very educated and well off but I was really interested to see it wasn’t just an east vs west thing

The funny thing is many people especially kboos and weebs WOULD be okay with it. They have this false idea that Asian culture is somehow less harmful than western culture, despite Asian countries displaying the same things that cause so much tension in the west (corruption, social and class hierarchies, tribalism, xenophobia, racism, oppression and exploitation of women and children, etc) to the same and sometimes even more extreme levels than in our own home countries and lacking any large social movements to confront these issues due to their strict cultures and conformity

It’s such a weird phenomenon. Like, Japan was basically Nazi germany a couple generations ago yet no westerners hold it against them. They are still very nationalistic and have policies that would have Americans protesting in the streets yet so many people think these countries are somehow better for society, less harmful, or more trustworthy.

I think it’s this weird white guilt thing, and also being taught that having a negative opinion about any brown or yellow country makes you a racist. Complaining so much about problems in their own country and then wanting to Embrace a culture where those problems are even worse and you have less of a voice to make change happen. What sense does that make?

Armeries are so insecure about other women in general. Suga collaborated with Suran, a female singer. Suran posted a pic with a caption like S ❤️ S, as in Suran loves Spain. She posted something else with the word yoongi in it, it means bright or something like that in Korean, she wasn't even talking about Yoongi. And she posted pics with a shirt Yoongi has worn before. All these stuff made armys mad like "she's using Yoongi for attention!!", they started attacking her, and Suran had to apologize for making them upset.

Suga also worked with J.Pearl, a male producer. Apparently he bought an expensive gift for J.Pearl and armeries were like "omg Yoongi is J.Pearl's sugar daddy such fanfic material" and started shipping them. They kept asking about Yoonpearl to him on Instagram and he said he only likes girls. They got mad at him for sinking Yoonpearl and he had to delete it.

I like WJSN but I hate how much starship tries to cram Seola and Bona down everyone's throat. Even though Chengxiao is the most liked and popular member among netizens and yet SS tries so hard to put Bona and Seola in the spotlight by give them more screen time, lines, sub units and center positions. Like just stop. It's irritating af how even when Bona is not singing she's in the middle and on top of that Bona isn't even the main vocal and she gets more lines than the main vocalists. She and Seola pretty much sing the whole song for their new comeback, how is that fair to the other members? Don't even get me started on Seola, her voice isn't even that amazing or special and yet she's the main vocal? wtf?? Even sub vocals like Luda,Yeoreum, Meiqi, Xuanyi, Eunso and Chengxiao has more interesting voices than her. The forced focus on Seola and Bona has really made me not like them

The SJW mindset is so prevalent in Kpop fandoms it's honestly mind boggling. Yes, BTS intentions may be good, but they aren't that great, and definitely are hypocritical given the fact many of the members do not practice what they preach behind closed doors.

Two interviewers commented on BTS' UN speech, and one just so happens to be shocked that a Korean pop boy group is speaking on this. Army's reaction: All POC are marginalized and oppressed in Amurica, and have the same experiences, linking each other as one.

I realized recently that being a kpop fan really IS like having an addiction. People call kpop and the surrounding hype culture "addictive" all the time, but I didn't realize how much like an addiction it was until I had to be cut off from listening to and following BTS for a little under three months (I was at army basic training and couldn't use the internet or listen to music at all). I'm home on leave now and the magic is GONE. I was geeking out during the Ellen interviews before I left, and now I can't even get through the Jimmy interview. It's not even cringey to me, it's just fucking boring. I was constantly listening to BTS, talking to people on kpop forums about BTS, etc., so my "addiction" was constantly fed and I didn't realize my being a fan was based entirely on a combination of repetition and continual exposure, and not actual substance. I don't totally hate BTS, I still kind of like some of their songs and a couple of the members, but the hype is dead and I don't miss it. Can't help but wonder how many kpop fans would stop giving as much of a shit about their faves if they had to go without for ten weeks lol.

this is super true though, after being a casual kpop fan for over a decade, i've seen so many groups have a huge hit and then fade into nugudom after taking "too long" to comeback. really shows how easily fans will just move on to the next pretty, young thing that their dead brains can absorb.

He did something similar the other day too. When Jimmy Fallon told them to introduce themselves to the world, he said he was the leader and the translator of the group. I mean, was it really necessary to say that when you're "introducing yourself to the world"? Especially when it seems that all of them understand English (except maybe V, he seems to be pretty bad at it), and Suga knows how to speak it at an intermediate level (based on this >>301018, maybe I'm exaggerating, I don't really know how to assess English levels).

No. 301033

he’s one of the least popular members (if not the least), infamous for being fug by idol standards, deep down probably realizes how mediocre their group is in terms of artistic integrity and that they rely on pseudo-philosophy/-intellectuality to give an illusion of having some form of substance beyond being a cash cow yada yada yada. he probably could’ve gone far in life with a solid and stimulating profession given his apparently being in the top national percentage of whatever it was but chose to bounce around on stage instead so now he has to remind everyone that he’s really ~super intellectual~ and ~a totally invaluable member of the group that the others would be lost without~

so i can kinda see why he’d have a superiority complex. i feel bad for him sometimes honestly. i don’t really think he’s a shitty person.

This is exactly the case. Their English classes are dedicated to answering useless test questions, not actually speaking English. Everyone is required to study English, they spend so much money flying native English speakers in from other countries, sending their kids to English academies, buying books and online courses, testing their population on English and even holding English only interviews between Koreans, yet barely any of them can speak it and there is incorrect English all over their signs, places of business, websites, etc. not to mention many places boast foreign-language services for non-Koreans living in Korea but those claims are either totally false or exaggerated.

My point isn’t that they need to learn English, my point is simply wondering WHY they put all this time, money, and effort into “learning” other languages when the outcome is so poor? The answer is that it’s all just for show and image, like most things in Korea. Doctors are known to have such high language skills because they are supposedly tested for it in university and for their jobs yet it was so fucking hard for me to find a doctor that could speak the bare amount of English to even schedule an appointment with me without confusion.

i'm not korean but my country has a similar test too, they make the language, mathemathics and science segments difficult but the foreign language test is mostly basic things, it's easy for students who just keep up with the lessons. maybe namjoon got 1.3% because he was good at language, math or social studies. he could probably do well in college and some other job, i wonder what made him decide to risk giving up on school and becoming a trainee for bighit

Also, after seeing Jhope expressions I kind of like him now lol I wish he was more obvious with how tired of his happy persona he is. In the Jimmy one after he does that stupid walking dance he sits done and makes such a "fuck this" face too lol

Besides Idol I don't think there's a song I hated more than Daydream, god his voice is so grating to my ears. I could not for the life of me believe peopled LIKED IT.

his enormous ego did. it's always baffled me why they always push him in the front as if he's the member who deserves to be promoted the most. his smug attitude and ability to give empty pretentious speeches were probably the sole reason why bighit made him the leader of the group.

No. 301251

i think a lot of the pushing he gets just comes from him being the member who’s been there the longest. he’s the only one really left over from when they were really meant to be a less idolish rap group (i think maybe suga and jungkook were the next two?). other than english interviews i don’t think he gets pushed as much as he used to since he just isn’t popular like the rest, if he doesn’t rank bottom then he’s usually close to it. him putting out content in english since 2013 and having a solid identity/persona probably helped them get the international fandom at the start but he’s ugly and has a combo of a big ego as well as being a bit awkward, which is a combo that makes people insufferable. i’m sure he’s a nice enough guy irl but as an idol he’s annoying. i’ll still take coming off as a narcissist in interviews over the ‘kill me’ faces or dramatic screeching and miming that also happen in these english interviews though

I doubt Jungkook would ever leave either, BTS and idol life is pretty much all he knows
V probably knows he has nothing else going for him so he'll definitely stay
Jimin is hard too tell. he's always crying about not being good enough or something, which could with be him throwing a pity party for attention and asspats or he's being genuine about it and then I could see him quiting due to all the pressure
Suga used to be the one that I could see quiting but idk, nowadays he seems to eat the idol shit up, and loves the fame and money too much

i think it was at a fan sign (correct me if i'm wrong) but i believe jin? said that armys should have high hopes for their contract renewals and that they're going well or something like that? i used to be one of those that thought at least one or two would probably not renew but honestly, the BTS name makes them good money and they've probably gotten comfortable, especially the maknae line, where BTS is pretty much all they really know. a few members probably really do hate it, but then they remember their paychecks and all the pussy they can get and they don't mind so much LOL.

i'm more interested in how their military is gonna go or when they start reaching their 30s. my bets are gonna be that the rat and the reptile are gonna be the milkiest. rat mon and jimin just give me insecurity and "constantly-needs-validation" vibes. they'll probably try really hard to remain in the spotlight. i feel like jimin is gonna be like that one ugly dude from H.O.T who married that girl from crayon pop; ugly, older, and hanging on to his younger self for dear life.

they won't leave for the next few years because they know that they won't be as successful on their own. maybe some of them will when the hype is gone though.

i don't think rm would leave, it would be messy if he did since he's the leader. without him they wouldn't be able to market in america too. they would do well as solo singers but both jimin and jungkook seem too dependent on bts and their fans. from what we see on cameras, i'll also give props to them and say that these three seem like they are the ones that actually care about their friendship with the members. jungkook pretty much grew up with them so it's understandable, and whenever something happens to someone namjoon and jimin are around

suga, jin and v are the most likely to leave. i don't know what to say about jhope, he might leave if he really is tired with his persona. iirc suga said he joined bts, he was told it was going to be a hip hop group with no dancing, but he probably got used to bts the way they are now. maybe he still wants to work on different music. jin studied acting, i can see him working on tv. taehyung isn't talented in acting but he'll get roles or some modeling work for his popularity. or maybe he'll just settle down, he's the family oriented type and wants 5 kids.

i'm curious what's going to happen to them after the hype and if any beef will happen. my guesses are rm and suga will work as producers for bighit, jimin and jhope will be choreographers, jin and v might do some acting and jungkook will become a soloist while still keeping ties with bts

I’m sure jhope hates the theater side of it all but he’s the only real performer of the bunch. He at least gets to dance and help with choreography which is apparently what he’s always wanted to do with his life. I could see him being a choreographer once Bts is over or something.

jongin has always been named one the better third generation kpop dancers but i think it's just because he stands out in a sea of robots. he's not bad, but he's not tHe bEsT kPoP dANCer eVer! he just looks slightly better (sometimes not even) because every other idol just looks like they're memorizing the moves in their head lol.

No. 301820

Yeah I think jongin is actually a good dancer, mostly due to how passionate he is about it and that he actually enjoys doing it (well at least he's better than others at acting like it) but sometimes even he gets stuck with those stupid robotic moves kpop is obsessed with. I swear every group does them and it's hard to say if they have any ounce of originally in their moves. When i heard that some kpop dances were "omggg so good and talented and reaallly hardd!!" I looked some up and went lmao seriously this is the best they can do? I guess kpop fans hype everything mediocre up to the extreme so it seems like they at least have a reason to be obsessed with their groups aside from them fantasising about their bias, because I feel like no one else outside of the kpop fandom would say a group's dance is really good or original.

I live in an area with a large Asian population and have come across girls on the street that are much prettier. Without the brand-name clothes and dramatic make-up, BlackPink are actually quite average-looking.

Samefag here. I’m not saying that I think there’s anything wrong with looking Southeast Asian, but it’s been discussed that Koreans find it insulting to be seen as SEA.

Also I just remembered how non-Korean idols don’t get paid as much as their Korean groupmates because of laws or some shit. With all of the inequity that ‘foreign’ idols receive in finances and social standing, why would anyone outside of East Asians want to be a trainee?

I've found her pretty smug and annoying lately, honestly. "I like cool groups like 2NE1, I don't like snsd except Hyoyeon" was just a meme for a while back in about 2011 and she's kept a reputation as the cool and alternative member because she's a dancer and less attractive than the others

That reminds me of memes from that time, there was one of a line of girls wearing ballet shoes and each was labelled with different fandom names (Sones, Wonderfuls, Cassies, Kamilia, Elfs, Shawols) and then one of a girl wearing converse and labelled Blackjack/VIP. If Armys are so obsessed with 'paving the way' they should thank Blackjacks/VIPs for starting the 'it's not like other kpop! it's way too good for that!' attitude

Bom's vocals only get defended more and more now, if she'd been active until now then the people who defend her so strongly suddenly would still be making fun of her or criticising her voice. She sounded so awful in 2NE1's last song that I can't imagine what their trio album would've sounded like. I also got bored of fans thinking they ONLY broke up because he didn't want to defend Bom during her scandal. Do people forget he covered it up for about 3 years before news of it got out? Whatever he did to Dispatch to piss them off meant it couldn't be hidden anymore, obviously that means there also wasn't anything more he could do to cover it further. If it got out when it happened, arguably at 2NE1's peak, they would've been dead before they accomplished as much as they did. Her scandal was more than just a drug misunderstanding because it was also proof of how rich celebrities can have scandals covered up and hidden from the public, that's an important reason why it was a bigger deal than someone like GD whose scandal came out almost as soon as it happened

This gif of Kara’s Seungyeon was trendy among Korean k-pop fans for some time. The more I look at it the more disturbing I find it. Like, she was probably in her late teens or early twenties in this gif, but she’s dressed like a toddler or dd/lg try-hard.

Sorry but it doesn’t matter what you think women should or shouldn’t be able to do without being sexualised. It IS sexualized which is why it’s so common in kpop. You can’t take it out of the context in which it’s being presented. These women are in costumes that they don’t even get to choose being paraded around in front of young girls and horny adult men just to make money.

If you want to wear pigtails sticking out the top of your head, go on! I doubt any guy is going to pop a boner over it unless you’re in hot pants and heels too. But if you’re over the age of 12 people might think you a touch retarded.

no matter what women do men are able to find a way to sexualize it, no matter how young or old they are, that's how gross they are. maybe it's just where i live, but i see a lot of regular women wear pigtails and they look fine. i'm in agreement that women should be able to wear pigtails without it automatically being a "pedophile" look or a control thing, because as another anon said, in many cultures women aren't allowed to even cut their hair as a purity type thing. i can agree with you that it is alarming when paired with a cutesy tutu outfit, but pigtails themselves being pedophilic because it's on an asian woman? come on, thats a weak argument. every kpop idol (especially the women) is in an outfit that makes their population of NEET men froth at the dick; just look at how they took sailor/school outfits, an outfit meant for school children, and sexualized it. kpop is definitely something i've viewed much, much differently as i've gotten older, just a lot of things don't sit right with me anymore.

yeah she looks pretty similar to me, other than her eyes/skin, if she's done her nose or something it must be slight. a lot of predebut photos of her are specifically bad photos,
either candids or screenshots of videos, that's definitely going to make her look worse than very posed recent photos. some idols look completely different from their predebut but their individual features still look the same. lisa's nosejob is still one of my favourites in kpop because it looks like her nose but improved, rather than a doctor just choosing a nose from a chart and carving it onto her face. i hate the standard kpop nose

i think this explains why a lot of korean dramas make me uncomfortable. a lot of acots/actresses look like botched mannequins and it makes them really hard to watch.

No. 302133

I haven't heard those specific stories but I don't doubt the not eating one, DBSK's debut was decided very last minute. The only story at all about a mask I remember was Jaejoong getting some kind of injury right before Rising Sun and a dancer taking his place wearing a mask. He wasn't allowed to go home after surgery and I remember an interview with his parents being pissed at SM about that but that wasn't an injury caused by staff. SM's somehow managed to turn their image around in recent years despite everything but reading about how their early groups (90s up until DBSK) were treated makes the industry in general sound way scarier back then.

Kpop has definitely plagiarized more from western pop than Jpop though. SM is known for buying songs from Western songwriters. Jpop has a really distinct sound and I don’t really ever hear that in kpop.

The closest BTS have gotten to acknowledging the craziness of their fandom is through the song "Pied Piper." Even so, the song has pandering lyrics like the following that make it so that their dumbass fans aren't too offended:

>Come here, I’m your paradise

>Don’t worry, my hands
>They’re only warm for you

I wish a BTS member would actually grow a pair and tell their fans that they're crusty and immature instead of trying to placate them further. They'd lose that sweet Koreaboo money if that were to happen though, and like an other K-pop group, business >>> integrity.

Older kpop is very jpopish, it gets more and more western as time goes on imo. To me kpop is jpop made for western audiences too, but not just about the sound, that's how it's marketed. It's why anytime there's a jpop group with a more western pop sound or that's targeted towards international fans (like FAKY) they'll be compared to kpop

you forgot visuals, the entire thing snsd was built on, twice fails miserably in. they’re on the lower end of average as far as female groups go and some members are way below that. i don’t hate them or anything but this is the one thing that irks me when people froth at the mount over muh visualz qweenz. it’s like with bts.
>i like them the best

Idk, Twice may have tapped into a wider market because of their average visuals. SNSD looked like the mean girls who would laugh at you if you asked one of them out. Twice look like slightly more attractive girls next door, which gives their hideous male fans hope that they’d have a chance with them. SNSD also seemed to appeal more to female fans.

>To me kpop is jpop made for western audiences

Kpop is for koreans first and foremost. The "broad" western interest in kpop is incredibly new. like I get what you're trying to say but.. what??
All international pop is western pop for a different international audience. Pop music's roots are in the U.S and U.K. Jpop is western pop for japanese audiences, kpop is pop for koreans, cpop is pop for chinese etc. Not saying all those genres are copies but they are heavily influenced by western pop initially.

No. 302677

302673
kpop is western music in korean. there is nothing unique added to the genre. Those kpop songs can be sang in english and still sound western either way
I agree kpop is pop for koreans though. I just wish they added korean/unique flavor to the music other than the language

No. 302681

>>302673
I don’t mean EXCLUSIVELY for western audiences, just that kpop is largely intentionally made to get international listeners too now, whereas it’s a rarity for jpop groups to be made like that. Pop music from different countries isn’t just translated pop music, there’s differences trends and sounds in different countries and to me kpop is usually a mix of some jpop meets whatever western sound is popular at the time

I don’t really get why it’s popular in the West though. No one can fucking understand it unless you know Korea or are korean. I guess it’s nice for background despite not knowing what they’re saying.

I just don’t get why some western women want To look like korean pop stars who are non asian. The surgery is meant for their particular features and they do their own thing.

I don’t know… the whole industry just seems… I’d say it’s better than Japanese music but it’s still weird.

As an ex-die hard koreaboo i can confidently say what got me into kpop was anime. Kpop to me back then was just effeminate boys, dancing and singing that looked like my favorite anime characters at the time. I think that's why so many weebs latch onto kpop/jpop, because the men are the closest thing to their 2d ideals with the added plus of being living and breathing.

I mean, the awful latest BTS's comeback proved once again that's it's not about the music, it's about cute boys and fanservice. Is it that important to understand the lyrics anyway? I'm not a native speaker and I've listened to music in English since childhood without understanding anything. I still ignore what most songs are about because I don't really care. Other kpop content like vlives has subs most of the time, so it's not a problem for most fans I think. And the popularity of kpop in general is probably caused by the way the members of these groups interact with each other. You'll never see members of One Direction or any other western group touch each other so much lol.

well, europeans naturally have more sweat glands than asians. in addition to this, white people traditionally have very dairy-saturated diets which apparently gives us a dairy kind of body odour. when white missionaries first went to Japan, they called them “batta-kusai” (literally butter stink) allegedly.

but most kpop fans in america are non-white anyway (at least from what i’ve seen of kpop conventions and stan twitter).
