do u think kpop artists read the reviews given by the music critics like NME etc as feedback for their work?

I think so. Listening to a lot of the comments NCT 127 members made during the Favorite cb, as well as comments around their impending solo work, tells me they are (esp as they get older and thinking about their long-term career opportunities or what they would do outside of the idol group.)

for those who make their own songs, or at least care about what songs they would release, I guess they do.

I only see rosé doing that ,the rest don't really care about critics especially Jennie

Bang Chan do. And also he watches a bunch of reactions videos and always thanks them in his weekly Vlives.

Well I hope they do! I think critics have some great feedback!

Quote from tetetete

wow weekly vlives, thats a lot of dedication

has he ever reacted to any negative feedback?

He's very dedicated to everything involving Stray Kids and their fans, fr.

Not that I remember. If I remember something, I will tell you later, tete

I suppose they do whether or not they take any notice of it.

wow Bangchan is cool. No wonder Stray kids are doing the best internationally for a 4th gen group.

I never see genuinely negative feedback from actual critics in the first place so…

But he has replied to a plenty of narrow-minded hate comments about their music. And once he debunked a video accusing SKZ of lipsyncing which was kinda funny because the youtuber presented everything so confidently

Yes BTS does. RM especially takes notice of these things. He reflects a lot on feedback

I think so

I think for majority of those who actually make their music it's important. Hoseok said he went to different producers to get feedback while working on Jack In The Box and understood that songs he made are too complicated, he did whole listening party to get feedback as well, I think he will read critics reviews too cause he wants to grow bigger as artist.

Yeah if they’re involved with their work in any way, even if they don’t write or produce

But this doesn’t mean they have to take everything to heart, if they feel like it’s not genuine then I hope they don’t care (ie: someone who knows nothing about kpop just saying dumb xenophobic shit or a someone sexist)

NME? Probably not unless they're fluent in english

Korean critic sites like Idology, Music Y, IZM and Channel Yes? Most definitely

yes for those who participate in their music, others idk

u don't have to be fluent in english to read those tho, if u have basic english and some vocabulary u get it and or u can just get help from someone who speak english, groups who aim for international market probably reads NME

My faves isnt fluent in english
