One thing that I'm afraid about future of KPOP is...

the normalisation of literal children debuting

My faves disbanding.

Im not afraid. Im fearless.

I am afraid that Winner won't be part of the future of Kpop. They are already in their 9th year, they can't be active forever

Well nothing lasts forever in kpop except the songs and memories.

How Long is their contract going? They are as "young" as my faves plus for boy groups ageism is not as serious as for GGs.

They renewed their contracts in 2021 for another 5 years I believe, but they'll go on hiatus for military service.

But yeah, bg have it easier as gg.

Than they will be around at least untill 2026. Its a while till then.

So i guess compared to some other stans you can still chill some time bevor start worrying. For example I dont know if my faves will still be there in 6 month. But than Kpop dies anyway. 🌚

If everything fails, Winner can still do the Brave Girls move. lose some members and get a few new ones. 😅

I actually wasn't really that serious in my post I would be sad if they'll disband but I guess I still have time.

I am so sorry about your faves

Winner are just 4, so it's not gonna be the same without 1 of them :)

over-saturation

it's already pretty oversaturated now and there's more groups that debut than groups that disband but then again Adam Smith and the invisible hand and all that

Nothing. Onwards and upwards!!!

no no no please dont be sorry. u should know my faves should be fine.

They had been called dead so many times but after performing 5 years for the military, 11 member changes, half the career on hiatus, 262 PAKs and 3 month #1 on melon, they still alive and kicking.

they never had a smooth ride and probably never will be. but we have an unbreakable spirit so i can focus on happily cherish every single day we have.

That’s not “new” or the “future” of kpop tho? That’s the “now” and “always has been”

yes but it keeps getting worse so..

Westernization of the kpop sound and the death of bubblegum pop.

The future will take root in the present.
