kpop

Recently got back into DGNA after finding their debut EP during a clear out. Absolutely in love with Rilla Go! right now.

 
recent comebacks (that I can remember lol)
- Taeyeon - I loved four seasons tbh
- Bom - I cried when I heard she was returning tbh I love 2ne1 too much. spring was good
- Blackpink - I loved kill this love. the album is really good too.
BTS - I honestly didn't enjoy boy with love, I haven't gotten a chance to 100 percent listen to the album though
Chen (forgot about him rip) - I loved chens album! I love boy ballads so much shshsh

I'm really hoping for Lee His comeback and I still need me a CL comeback.

On that note: if you have any ballads/soft songs by boy groups pls tell me I need more to listen to
 
I don't mind Kpop, I have a big playlist that I listen to every few months or so. I was sad that 4Minute ended because I loved their last 2 albums. I got bored of BlackPink after Boombayah until they released Kill This Love, it's crazy how big it's gotten but I do love the song. The only thing I dislike about Kpop is the fans and how crazy/toxic they can get especially if you have a differing opinion or don't like one of their faves (once commented I wasn't a fan of Twice's Cheer Up and they went in on me), especially BTS fans. Aside from that whilst I don't think Kpop is doing anything groundbreaking there's some great songs.
 
i stan 5 groups currently lol - bts, nct, exo, day6 & twice!

chanyeol's first station song was so good!! vocalist chanyeol is truly a godsend
fancy was a gooood comeback. i honestly believe yes or yes flopped a bit when it came out (not to mention the backlash around the lyrics lol) but i think fancy DEFINITELY made up for it
boy with luv was good too, i think it's a tiny bit weaker than idol or fake love but the concept was cute & the fact they got to collab with halsey on it was really cool!!
i can't wait to hear everything on nct's new ep! honestly i haven't listened to awaken yet but i'll get around to it at some point
and i just generally miss day6 )): i hope they have a comeback soon, days gone by was amazing & i just KNOW whatever they put out next is gonna be just as good, if not better

Jamais Vu was my favourite song on the BTS album ah
 
A RANDOM BLINK IN YOUR AREA
I don't really like a lot of K-pop groups especially the boy ones. Actually blackpink is the only K-pop I like.
 
I used to listen to Super Junior, TVXQ! and Girls' Generation about 7 years ago. Nobody in my surroundings ever listened to it and it wasn't as popular back then. I never thought it would turn out to be so loved in the western world. Hardly ever listen to it nowadays.

I used to enjoy learning the choreography with my friends back in my early high school days. I took a long hiatus, and honestly, it was that Riot Games K/DA song that brought my interest back, although not as fervently. I was listening to almost exclusively Mamamoo and (G)I-DLE for a good couple of weeks. Now I casually will put a song on once in a while.
 
i used to love kpop in middle school (SHINee, infinite, and vixx fans hmu lol), and then slowed down listening to it in high school, and now i only pop back in when i hear big news. i still follow some kpop fashion accounts though because all the new gen kpop groups have FIRE stylists and i like looking at all the gucci and chanel.

i do totally agree though, it's pop, just in another language. i do really appreciate the attention to choreography and styling/aesthetics though. something that really worries me though is the whole kpop culture has become so toxic and especially considering all the news coming out now about idols being forced into prostitution & powerful ceos and idols running these drug/prostitution rings, it's important to think hard about what's really going on behind the scenes
 
So....I'm not really into kpop at all. But I'm lowkey in love with Boy with luv and I understand why people are obsessed with BTS. omg the choreography it's incredible! They're such fantastic dancers, I can't imagine how hard they have to practice
 
hello here to revive this thread again if anyone cares lolol and i've fallen down the kpop hole now if you couldn't tell.
it was really interesting reading everyones opinions!
also lately i've seen an increase in tbt users with kpop icons compared to there being maybe one or two (active users) when i first started this thread which is cool

STREAM PSYCHO!!!!!!!!!!
Omg this song... Red Velvet really snapped with this one I swear
I love the instrumental, the very high notes and the VISUALS???? Hello? Like they look so gorgeous and their makeup is so bold compared to South-Korea's standards!!!! I'm so happy for them because they're stunning, and they've finally been given an amazing comeback ehehhee
 
all right i posted here before but i cant remember what i said so here we go

i personally like kpop but the fans piss me off. i like bts, yes but i cant listen to any of their songs. normal people just hear some korean boys singing but i hear oH MY GOD U THINK BTS ARE OVERRATED??? U SHOULD GO KILL URSELF LOL
also people really be overreacting when a member leaves the group bc it be like that sometimes
 
This thread got revived? I love kpop, probably only listen to that instead of...anything else. I just think fans can get a bit crazy (cough cough blinks cough armies) I know there are good fans but the toxic ones are just annoying. Otherwise, :D
 
I think I already replied to this one...I remember saying years ago that kpop fans were way too intense for me...and here I am...
I can't say that i'm a real kpop fan or pop fan in general since I don't know much bands (I watch the galas though), but my friend is helping. In fact, I started listening to it to share her passion... Unfortunately we ended up not liking the same things lol but we respect each other tastes. I'm an old fan of BTS, like since 2014, I thought they were fun kids when I first hear of them and the fandom was really nice. But anyway, yeah, when a fandom grow up, the number of little ones grow up too and then you have thousands of toxic ones. Seriously my own fandom ganged up against me once, or twice (maybe more...) for stating true facts (lot of new fans like spreading lies and rumors)...I'm still super mad about it...So I can imagine what no fans have to endure...still there are cool ones but I think they are just too fed up to control all the little ones. When I'm too fed up I stay away from social media and go listen to Patrick Watson. Apart that I like Stray kids. I listen to other bands too but I don't have their CDs or know everything about them.

BTW, I like doing (useless and obsessive stuff) stats, lists..stuff... So I was re-watching some 2012-2015 band debuts and I was wondering if Red Velvet had two songs or just one at the first performance, Anybody knows?
 
Personally, I LOOOOVE k-pop. It’s one of my favorite music genres. Ever since my friend passed away, knowing how much she loved BTS, I started listening to them more. And I haven’t stopped listening to them since. Since then, I’ve picked up a ton of other groups, like Monsta X, Red Velvet, BLACKPINK, SHINee, EXO, BIGBANG, NCT... I also really enjoy SUPER JUNIOR, TWICE, SuperM, GOT7, EVERGLOW, and a LOT more. I listen to them a lot, hell, I even picked out a K-Pop album from my local music store, NCT Dream’s ‘We Young’, for Christmas.

There isn’t a dull moment where I’m not thinking of listening to k-pop, or making content for the fans (like fanfictions, or even those silly texting videos I see around). I really don’t like the LOONA fans/stans, most of them are incredibly rude whenever someone like a celebrity passes away. It’s really disgusting to me; how they act. I don’t get how people act that way towards other human beings. Anyways, back to my love for k-pop.

It first started off with BLOCK B. I listened to Nillili Mambo when I was a kid and thought it was freaking awesome, 2012 was when that album came out. I think I still have it somewhere? That was really the only song I listened to when I was younger. Then it turned into BTS, Taehyung was my favorite based on the era that was going on (War of Hormone). Then, I stopped listening for a while... but then my close friend who loved BTS, passed away. Then it became like... an obsession, almost? I wouldn’t go to say it’s an unhealthy one, but I definitely feel like I’m closer to her (even though she’s gone), by listening to K-Pop.

Well, I might as well list my biases for my favorite groups. Might edit in the other ones later.

BTS —> Namjoon & Jin
Red Velvet —> Irene & Seulgi
BIGBANG —> T.O.P.
EXO —> Sehun & Suho
NCT (any unit) —> Taeil, Yuta, Chenle, Jisung, & Jungwoo
Monsta X —> I.M and Wonho
SHINee —> Minho and Taemin

Who’re your biases for your ult. groups, everyone? <:​

It was hard not to notice Taehyung first in the War of Hormones era.

I don't really have a bias, it can change all the time but I might be slightly biased toward Hoseok and Yoongi in BTS. (I have a Jhope and Mang keychains so I guess it's more often him)
In Stray Kids: Changbin and Bang Chan...Well the whole 3Racha since I knew them first.
Itzy: Yuna (but I don't really know her)
I don't really know SHINee but I like Taemin and Minho, although I know mostly Minho as an actor.
