>>310327If we aren’t going to separate the threads then stfu and stop baiting about it. Ignore it and continue talking about whatever interests you. Split the threads or shut up.
Anyways, what are your guys thoughts on momoland? Apparently Nancy is
problematic? They added two more members after debut. Their only successful song is bboom bboom. Baam apparently flopped and was criticized for being the exact same song as bboom bboom. Joo E is frequently called the ugliest idol, lol. She looked way cuter in her selfies before their debut and everyone was surprised at her appearance. Idk they’re a mess it seems.
I don’t see them lasting very long in this industry tbh. Also, nit pick but Nancy’s fake baby voice act annoys the living shit out of me.

I would love to shit on lesser known groups, just because I have a weird fascination for them. Too bad there's not much milk on them, but I still like to cringe at the videos. This group laysha is the most "gangnam unnie" I've ever seen.
I hate the sexy/cute thing so much. They are dressed so slutty but still acting like little girls.
>>310333I kind of liked Bboom Bboom as a meme song (but hated the rap part). Them releasing Baam was so shitty lol it was like basically the same song, and in the same year! God forbid a group has a hit song, after that the company just pumps the same shit over and over.

This Hyuna/E-dawn thing is going to give me an aneurysm.
International fans are creaming themselves over this "power couple", they stan an "unbothered queen"! Oh, and apparently Hyuna was carrying Cube single-handedly, it's only a matter of time before they crash and burn without her and she can totally go make her own company, cause that's not at all a hard thing to do. Right.
I agree that the idol dating ban is idiotic, but it exists for a reason and if you don't want any part of it then don't sign the fucking contract! Hyuna's been with Cube long enough that she must have re-signed one or two times by now, she knows what she was signing and chose to not only go against it, but also go against her company's PR decision to deny the allegations like every other company does when there's a dating scandal. Now she has no company and may have played a role in ruining the careers of 9 rookies (10, if E-Dawn doesn't manage to sponge off of her influence).
Well, I hope she's really as unbothered as she's trying to seem cause E-Dawn looks fucking miserable.

>>310346she probably is unbothered since she's been in the industry since forever and could probably live comfortably. also none of her stans want to point out how weird it is for her to get involved with some trainee when she was such an important figure at cube as they say. that being said I don't think she manipulated him or anything. he probably wouldn't have bounced back from a scandal like that anyways so he might as well stick with her.

Cube is clearly trying to turn G-Idle’s Soyeon into the next Hyuna. You have her rapping in the same weird chipmunk voice and hogging stage time in the center. I find the others members to be way more interesting yet the company tries so hard to meme her into being their next golden child.

"As someone who is watching BP vids most of the time, Jisoo and Jennie usually orders Lisa around. Lisa does their household chores especially washing the dishes. Jisoo even JOKED that it's only every Lisa's birthday that she doesn't do the dishes. During a radio show, the members said Lisa pays for their food when they get delivery. I think Lisa is just that type of person. No need to make a big deal out of it."
I really don't think Lisa is doing all this just because she is kind. Maybe if the rest of the BP members weren't such bitches they would actually stand up and do something to help her, or offer to pay.

Hasuel is genuinely one of Loona's best looking and most unique faces. I just hope they don't fuck up her looks with PS (or even more PS) or shitty styling which they do all the fucking time. Not only that, she's pretty great at singing, but dancing not so much. Then again, KPOP groups never focus on strengths, only ever on visuals and local and intl appeal.
As for Vivi, she's not only untalented but looks uncanny. How tf did she get in the group?
Vivi, Hyunjin, Yeojin, Cheorry, Gowon, and Olivia are the members I dismiss bc they don't really offer anything to the group.

>>311123Yeah, but just look at how they're hiding her when they debuted as a full group. She barely has lines and that's because she's not a popular member.

Maybe the case for Lisa is more because she's a foreigner but I feel like despite their "the cute innocent baby of the group" image, maknaes get treated like shit a lot by their bandmates and it disturbs me. Not that being 20 years older than someone excuses treating them horribly but most of the time these group members dont't even have a huge age gap, it's 3-5 years at most.

Oh, and now Haseul is basically stuck babysitting for Yeojin who is nothing but a deadweight to the group, which can't move towards more mature concepts because they have a 15 year old in among them.
>>311133Besides her being the maknae, is obvious Korean people are racist agains SEAs, so just imagine that.

And I don't know what you are talking about with Yeri being good at varieties, tho. She seems to be moving into a luxuorious image, so she has been over the top with the bitchy and silent image.
Lucky enough for them, Yeri doesn't seem too fond of the childish image like Yeojin does so she is able to pretend she is mature.

Idk I think you guys are being too sensitive about the lisa thing. The girls have lived together for more than 5 years and the way they treat each other seems natural of friends that are around each other 24/7. Maybe I’m just in denial from watching Blackpink tv all day on YouTube today but they really all seem to care for each other. Sometimes friends pick on each other and get a bit annoyed, it’s normal. I do notice even in the show that Jennie is very stand offish of Jisoo and Lisa and she seems closer to rose but other than that they all seem to get along.
I think Jennie gives off a certain vibe that makes her seem rude or unapproachable but the more you watch her you can see that’s not the case. I actually really like Lisa and I don’t feel the members treat her bad at all.
I get the theory about them thinking they’re better due to Lisa being SEA but let’s face it, she speaks perfect Korean and is the best performer and dancer in the group. They Can’t be blind to that fact. Plus Lisa doesn’t even look SEA anymore after those glutathione injections and nose job lol, pic related.

I know idols have always been feminized and infantalized as fan service but it seems like in the last 5-8 years it got a lot worse for male idols.

What happened?
No. 311426
>>311412K-pop really just keeps up with whatever the trend is. Fans think male idols wearing feminine clothing and accesories makes them feminist unbothered legends. They use the flower boy look to appeal to people who get drawn to woke agendas since being fake woke is the trend nowadays.
I also noticed that especially boy groups are wearing bondage harnesses and belts often recently, it's probably the stylists trying to keep up with the BDSM imagery trend.
No. 311443
>>311426Yeah the stylists are just following trends and what teenagers are into at the moment but I'm not just talking about the chokers and flower crowns or styling, I'm talking about their bodies and physical features too.
For example, compare the top visuals of the last gen: Siwon, Taecyon, TOP to the top visuals of this gen according to local Korean ranking AND international: V, Kang Daniel, Taeyong, and Jimin I guess
They went from tanned, tall, muscular, masculine facial features, kinda rugged(as rugged as an idol can be I guess) to short, skinny, pale bodies(minus V) with feminine facial features and behavior.
Was there a demographic shift or something?

Then came along Jae Joong of TVXQ with his style, which was very notable back then because of him being the only (?) femininized guy in the Kpop scene. That being said, his body was nicely built for a man so he wasn't on BTS level of feminine.
Fast forward to 2011, I'd say Boyfriend (and maybe some other groups that debuted in the era) made the trend popular again. They didn't wear so much makeup, but their figures are less built than their predecessors in the Kpop scene. Not to mention the twins who were assigned to looking more feminine than the rest of the members by their agency.
Then it just got worse since then, with the peak reached in 2013 I think? I'd choose any boy group before that over BTS and the likes lol.

So Hanteo has admitted to fabricating its charts to make sales from China count less than sales from Korea. They posted an apology, but they only posted it in Korean at first, meaning Chinese netizens are now furious at the rudeness of not only faking chart results to bias Korean sales but then not even bothering to hire a translator for the apology (they have now had to post an apology in Chinese after the backlash).
Most of this manipulation affected EXO sales, so as expected, ARMY are throwing tantrums.

Felt the need to clarify that most of PD48’s participants were still training.
I also wanted to bring up the fact that the show allowed a fucking fourteen year old to dance provacatively to Side to Side—which for the uninformed is about taking a huge dick up your hoo-ha. Mnet’s gross and is run by pedos. Fans not making a bigger deal out of this also says something.

Huge generalization but I also think Koreans are a little more lenient if the person’s taller. Girl’s Day’s Yura admitted to weighing 52kg at 170cm once and lots of these comments say that she’s too thin.

apparently this is old news, but it's big on girlschannel right now. it's girlschannel, so obviously the comments go straight to "ban all koreans" and aren't a reflection of everyone, but it's enough to guess it's going to cause a bit of trouble. one of the last big anti-japan kpop scandals was when a tvxq video left japan off a map and ex fans then posted an old video of changmin pulling a stalker out a car and throwing her to the ground, so with any luck this could bring other bts scandals to light while fake love comes out in japan.

No. 312870
>>312858i agree, i didn't mean to say that bts deserves to get an exemption. bts being in billboard's hot 100 is nowhere equal to getting a medal in the olympics, which is as you said, something that everyone respects. i don't think south koreans would be okay with it. if they did get an exemption and chose not to go, they would get a huge backlash and probably wouldn't even be able to go out anymore.
>>312862i might be wrong but wasn't that man who talked about bts getting an exemption a politician who was trying to appeal to the younger generation for votes? i know that most of the south koreans who don't care about kpop idols wouldn't react to it positively but i see international kpop fans talking about their faves getting an exemption a lot, they get happy at any news that might be a chance for idols not enlisting.
No. 312889
>>312857iirc a Dispatch article talked about artists tabloids can't catch dirt on and BTS was one of them. It said something about how whenever they go out they're together or going to restaurants and gaming places, which makes it hard for journalists to catch them doing something shady.
But I remember watching a clip of some show where Heechul investigates dating scandals and he had an interview with a journalist who said sometimes big companies will bribe a journalist with dirt on other companies in exchange of never writing about their own company for a specific period of time. This interview was pretty old but it really made me think.

Abuse is rumored to be common in the industry and people like Jay Park has even talked about the subject so i have no doubt these kids were being beat
No. 313045
Seok Cheol also recorded audio of the CEO in response to being told Seok Cheol was going to the press about the abuse:
>If you’ve entrusted [someone] with something, than you need to leave it alone even if they beat you to death. If you make the paper as a celebrity, you won’t have any ground to stand on, you [censored]. Who’s going to [censored] take in a kid with problems? You can’t make a big deal out of this, you can’t. Your parents will just be more upset. Ten times more upset than they are now.
>then you need to leave it alone even if they beat you to deathAlthough the recording captures him saying this, the CEO just came out with a public apology basically saying he had no idea any abuse was going on.
>>312967They've been abused since 2015. The leader is only 18, so assuming he's the oldest, other members were being beaten by a grown man when they were only 12-13. Even if they have the physical power now, there's way too much psychological trauma to fight back.
With the debt incurred from training and debuting and the hierarchical age culture of Korea, I'm surprised this isn't a more common occurrence

>>313045I believe most of these company CEO are using the whole" join to become a superstar" as a way to make people in debt. The whole industry is a scam.

Ratmys don't have anything better to do with their lives other than harassing people on Twitter but what's new
So this guy said "She's a BTS fan, not a K-pop fan" about a BTS fan (
https://twitter.com/ricegrainlover/status/982532934753071104), said that (he says armys have no proof that he said it but they are insisting that he did say it so idk) it's because of plastic surgery when Shawn Mendes said BTS are good looking and dared to say that "all BTS songs sound the same", and now armys are harassing him, contacting his boss and trying to ruin his job, he tweeted a video talking about it and crying (

>>313358>>313360It looks like he's trying to blame armies reporting for a shutdown, though his channel is pretty obviously still up and just privated or something. You can still see his playlists if you search for his channel, you just get a notice that they're private if you click. If you try to watch his videos from other people's playlists, you get told they're unavailable instead of getting a notice that the account/video has been terminated or deleted.
I don't know what he's trying to go for here, but it looks to me like he was trying to
trigger armies MILDLY for twitter interaction but it went too far for him. While armies are definitely crazy and toxic, this guy and his crying video/bahleeting are laughable as well.
No one would bother saying that all of BTS' music sounds the same if armies weren't willing to try to destroy that person over it. BTS is only even mildly relevant because of their batshit fanbase, and people only ever mention BTS to try and gain something from that same batshit fanbase. He's a vlogger, so my guess is we'll be seeing a BTS SHUT DOWN MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL?! NOT CLICKBAIT! That aside though, he was being really nice about it at first and even said he liked their older music and he thinks they're talented but lately things started sounding same-y. It's not even hate, armies…come on. No opinions allowed! He should have posted that he thinks [insert BTS member here] is soooooo hot instead, the armies would have liked that one!

There's a lot of idols that are clearly gay like Ten from NCT or Key from SHINee, the rest are just very feminine fuckboys that know acting cute/flamboyant gets them fangirls.

No. 316133
>>316131Compared to the 2000s Cpop, Cpop is now just a bad copycat of Kpop. I don't think Cpop is on Kpop level yet to really catch the public's attention. I don't see them getting anywhere outside their own country and neighboring countries, even the Chinese communities abroad don't really listen to Cpop or are just regular listeners of Cpop.

I’m kinda short and pretty thin, you could probs wrap your fingers around my wrists and ankles, and Koreans were always going on about my “chopstick” legs, but I still felt big around korean guys because they are so fucking stumpy. There is a reason they are so obsessed with proportions. I dated guys who were taller/bigger than me yet they had the same size or shorter forearms. Seeing my exes driving a car and having to be so close to the steering wheel was such a wtf moment. Yet, I realized their head/face were quite large. The big head thing isn’t really a problem but the short limbs were so weird. I noticed once guys got 180cm or over it balanced out, so that makes sense that Koreans are obsessed with that height for males.
If you buy clothes from asian brands like Uniqlo in the west you can get the same waist or bust size in but the arm and leg lengths will be a few cm longer than what you get in Korea. I hope this obsession with face size doesn’t get imported along with kpop. I think western people don’t really have to worry about the size of their faces (unless u look like Benedict cumberbatch) because it’s balanced with their bodies and longer limbs.

I read on twitter that the japanese government demands an apology and threatened to otherwise ban all korean artists from Japan. This would hurt a lot of groups, since Japan is often their biggest source of income.
But of course ifans are still in denial kek:
>Others artists is using the same T shirt too, Why are you don't take it as a serious issue before?? Is its because Bts is worldwide so you want to judge every single things that they do ??? I'm so disappointed with this kind of attitude>Monsta X wears that shirt too.>Its just a T-shirt…jimin is innocent>What if he didn’t even realize he was wearing that kind of stuff? Just don’t judge.>let’s be honest, there were also many Koreans, chinese etc killed by japanese right? BTS are Korean and japan occupied their country for years. Still they have never shown dislike their Japanese fans.>Bitch other idols wore it too….soooooooooo?????>Jimin DOES NOT look at what is on his clothes. He didn’t know about this shirt. Leave him alone.>Lol, of course. It’s Jimin. He even said that he just wears things and doesn’t check what that is, what brand and definitely not what is written on it.>Jimin can't speak English and I doubt he knew what was written on the shirt.

Ugh even when someone comments something like "I don't like BTS because of blahblahblah" in a completely respectful and non-insulting way, you'll see like 30 armys trying to make them like BTS and prove that they are the best musicians ever. I've been seeing armys saying "BTS makes music in all genres so there MUST be a song that you'll enjoy" a lot lately. Lmao no, they don't make music in all genres. They are a pop group who debuted as a hip hop group, they did make hip hop in their early music but they've been doing pop since 2015, and they got popular with as a pop group. And their vocalists are so mediocre compared to other k-pop groups, and no, RM, Suga and J-hope aren't mindblowing rappers.
>>317191What the fuck is wrong with him? Jimin seems like a massive racist cunt who hates every single non-Korean under his ~~sweet, innocent, pure baby boy~~ image. BTS makes a shit ton of money on Japan tours and Japanese albums. Afaik they have an upcoming Japan tour so I don't know how they are going to clean this mess up, it's just unacceptable and disgusting.

if bts were as #woke as fans have spent months making them out to be then they'd have a long, eloquent letter about how the tshirt was a bad mistake and very wrong but that if you're angry about that then you should also be angry about japan denying war atrocities as well. it would be the best way to not piss off any side too much, but i don't know what they're going to do. ignore it, the way sm ignores their idols' scandals? the generic "i sincerely apologise for [BAD THING] and will reflect on my mistakes" letter they have a draft saved of?

And Jimin does technically address his anorexic bs, he used to flaunt it constantly.
My problem with their ""woke mental health awareness"" bs is that nobody, with the exception of Suga, spoke about it or cared about it until the "Sadboy" shit became popular. Then suddenly 4/7 of them are depressed with anxiety and RM releases a Sadboy mixtape where he talked about how he has no friends and he doesn't like himself uwu

Jimin has an obvious issue with his weight and he talked about how he's starving himself numerous times, I feel like speaking up about how to get over that (assuming he got over it..) to their extremely impressionable audience would be the responsible thing to do for people who want to be known for spreading mental health awareness. I don't want to assume too harsh things about them but I really doubt they encouraged Jimin or Jungkook to get actual help off-stage. It's true that none of them except Suga even cared about it until it became "trendy", I find it obnoxious when people use things like this for their personal gain, if you are going to do it, do it genuinely.

If some influencer actually criticized BTS with their own face, they'd get ten times that. It's probably just not worth it.
>>317573but he's so cutee uwu babby boy!
This is just another example how ARMY don't actually like the members as individuals, they only like the sugarcoated idea they have of them, the one they read about in fanfics.
If they actually liked them/him, they wouldn't try to censor the message he was trying to send by wearing that t-shirt.
>>317097> I’m kinda short and pretty thin, you could probs wrap your fingers around my wrists and anklesOT but I'm sorry I just have to address this, I'm tall and actually fat, and you can easily wrap fingers of one hand around my wrists so that the fingers overlap to the first knuckle (and almost ankles too), and I weight almost 200 pounds, I often see people using this to describe how thin they are, so I'm just saying it says nothing lol
No. 317758
>>317673I mean it's true that people who are aware of BTS' bullshit are aware of army's bullshit too. They have too many shady shit under their belts yet they are still getting away with everything, there are no consequences, not even owning up to what they did. Let's just hope this whole thing with the Hiroshima t-shirt is going to have consequences. If someone with somewhat of a social media influence called BTS out, they have a lot of arguments to back themself up. Or it could make a good news article or something since it's 100% going to get attention.
It's also so true that they only care about the fantasy they create in their minds and not about them as individuals, that's why k-pop fans don't care when idols do something sexist or racist but will lose their shit when they date.
>>317732I've seen some j-fans telling them to stop tweeting in foreign languages (under a Japanese tag about the situation) because it's a serious topic. And it's just stupid on their side because filling the tag with "Jimin is a talented cutie!!!" tweets is still helping it trend.

You must be talking a lot of s*it for it to also reach me. Stop talking about me. Talk about it after you actually give me money. You do have a lot of money.
You seem to be living quietly so I had my mouth shut but I'm going to say what I need to say since you're uploading on Instagram as if nothing happened hehe. But I won't lie saying you're a gold digger at least.
Do you know how many of your company's business that I hid for you? I'm so nice. The reporters begged me to break the news but I rejected it all because I was scared. I should've just done it. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Why did I go there (YG building) on that day? You know, right?

Anyone seen this new group PinkFantasy? They debuted recently, the MV got some hype because shit Shindong from Suju directed it or something. Seems they have a "bunny" as a member, basically its a hidden member that will never show her face.
I'm slightly intrigued by this. Why? Only to gain fans because of the mistery? I don't see how someone dancing in a bunny mask won't get old fast. Or maybe it's a dude? Body wise it looks a lot thicker compared to the usual dainty idols.

>>318995Wow didn't know there was such an age difference. I guess we'll have to see where they go with this. Some people are comparing them to Crayon Pop because of the weirdness? I will give them the benefit of the doubt until their next comeback to see if the rabbit idea pays off. I just don't see the point of a member that can't sing live very well (or at all), sticks out like a sore thumb and probably can't see shit while dancing.

>>318993 artists hiding their identity is nothing new but idols covering their faces and leaving their image to the fans seems like a novelty that we'll likely be exploited soon if they achieve the amount of fame they expect or want. However, if the person inside is a girl I don't get why the bunny person is completely covered considering most members are girls so no one could ever doubt that this new group is other than a girl group. But since barely part of bunny's skin is expos there's a chance that it's a dude but why?
Is this to protect the person's identity or just a hype they want to milk? I don't know why I'm rambling and I likely don't make any sense at all

bts has no talent, their rappers suck, their vocalists suck harder. exo has like 1-2 members who are somewhat decent vocalists but they don't know how to use it other than making chen scream at the end of the songs. as much as they get credit for being ~~dance gods~~ no exo or bts member is a good dancer other than kai, lay (he didn't leave guys, he just hasn't been around for the last 9000 years!) and j-hope. i don't hate exo and bts but they aren't any different than your average kpop boy group, they aren't special.

From the first episode onwards I don't get why she's been favoured by Mnet or the Produce48 team.

Her centre selection performance was again the most unimpressive one.
Her singing and dancing skills are below average.
Her confidence is non existent, I don't see star quality in her. Jurina got a B and she smiled with confidence.
People are calling her visuals the best but to me she looks like a 12 year old kid, Jurina at least looks her age.
"Why" is the only thing that comes to my mind when I see Mnet and PD48 bias towards her.

>>320644>>320662>Tastes vary. Your opinion isn't fact.This could be applied to yours as well. As long as i can remember this thread is the critical thread, so you should get used to people hating on your biases no matter how retarded that sounds to you. It only sounds retarded when you're biased towards the artists anyway. Everyone seems to dislike jennie here yet no one complains, why are you so butthurt over sakura getting called untalented and bland? When its the truth for some people kek

>>320644Anyway, anon, she's not my 'bias'. I think the whole group is fucking terrible. Untalented and not particularly interesting. She is very much included in that assessment. Where did I say anything else? Note I didn't compliment her at all. I said she's popular which is true. I just think that everyone else is equally bad and boring and Mnet is full of shit.
I do think that Mnet used all of the 48G. That doesn't mean that I like any of them.

>>320623Slight OT but
>to me she looks like a 12 year old kidThat's exactly why she got popular. Jurina looks older than her age (but in the best way, she's womanly and has a good bone structure) while Sakura appeals more to Korean beauty standards. Because that's how it is, it's a shallow pick between who could sell better. You don't need much talent when your target audience is teenagers and old men…
And Jurina dodged a bullet tbh, I could already see someone pushing her for a jaw shave. It would've been a disgrace No. 320881

>"This is one of the most honest and ,intellectual piece of work I have seen written about BTS. Loved reading your article as they were parts of if that I didn't put together. You know your facts. I am a 53yr old ARMY. I am part of a BTS fan page that for the older generation and they are hundreds of us on that site alone. If I were home and on my laptop I would say more…but we'll done for the comparisons."

>>320932They can still be nominated, right? They are not allowed in the best new artist category, but didn't they delousionally apply for the album of the year category?
Honestly, I hope they get nominated and then lose to a much more talented artist. The salt on stan twitter would be glorious

>>320994the beatles became famous for their music while bts became infamous for their batshit crazy fandom. it’s totally the same thing guis!!1
maybe it’s petty but i really do hope shatmys manage to piss off a larger fandom/community and get curbstomped. i remember some anon suggesting the beyonce fandom? black twitter? something like that. maybe that reporter could get some justice then.

>>320998>the beatles became famous for their musicI know this is not the thread to expect anyone to know anything about actual music but this is just false. The Beatles only gained musical appreciation later on. At first, it was the large fandom of screaming girls that made them known. Their arrival in New York was a big deal because of the crazy fangirls, not their music. It wasn't until years into their journey and after their genre-hopping and musical growth were they considered great because of their music. And it wasn't until decades later did people start associating them with music snobs rather than crazy fans.
And nah, the "big western fandom" thing won't work. I've already seen articles talking about the Beyhive x Army streaming parties when Beyonce's album was released.

>>321021i worded that clumsily, guess i should’ve clarified, my bad.
the beatles /are/ known for their music today, not because of the screeching fangirls that initially made them known to the general public when they were new but because they actually grew and branched out as artists rather than staying in the same place. that is something bts have shown themselves incapable of doing as they’ve settled down sticking to the same overproduced garbage that their fangirls hyped up to the high heavens to begin with, clearly with little desire to improve in terms of music and artistry now that they’ve become comfy. in contrast, when bts first started out they were underdogs who stuck to the heavier hiphop theme [by kpop standards] when it wasn’t all that popular in the kpop community on a grander scale, and it wasn’t until like three years into their career that they broke through and their fandom went off the deep end.
in that sense, i guess you could say the beatles and bts evolved in opposite directions- or devolved, in bts’ case. (not saying bts is comparable to the beatles in terms of musical quality or success because they’re obviously not but comparing their careers they developed in opposite directions.)
>And nah, the "big western fandom" thing won't work. I've already seen articles talking about the Beyhive x Army streaming parties when Beyonce's album was released.you say that as if ratmys still wouldn’t be able to piss them off. ratmys have been chummy with other kpop fandoms like blinks too but they’ve managed to fuck that up so i fail to see why they wouldn’t be able to do that with western fandoms too. seeing how racists ratmys are towards black people it seems inevitable. they always manage to show their ass in the end.

>>321029I agree with the devolving music vs evolving music thing but you're comparing a musical career that spans decades to one that's only 5 years old. 5 years into the Beatles career they were still making safe music that panders to the fans and doesn't upset their conservative parents. They were even more disliked by critics then than BTS are right now. It's too early to truly know if they're going to only get worse or if they'll make a U turn.
My guess is it's going to continue to get more radio-friendly and weaker until they hit the peak and start descending in popularity and then start putting out solo works that might actually be good. Kinda like Big Bang or many of the other western and eastern boybands who could only break out of the mold when their 15 minutes of fame ran out.
