Things that annoy you from the KPOP world

- acting as if 30-year-old idols are "too old for Kpop" but then saying that minors shouldn't debut. So idols should train that much but they can be active for only ten years ? Are trained and experienced performers this disposable for you?

- Saying a solo act or group is singing live when they are clearly lip-syincing over pre-recorded vocals, because there is no way a person is jumping arround for about three minutes and yet we can't hear any kind of breathing, there are no problems with the mic and the vocals sound as clear as the ocean.

- This has more to do with the community but those "dark side of kpop" videos only create sensationalism: every industry is shady, esepecially the entrateinment industries - but using idols that have passed away for specifc reasons who have mostly nothing to do with Kpop is just disgusting, and also spreads false informations on those same 3 people just to create a narrative about the "dark side of kpop".

I have more

fatshaming idols that are a healthy weight, putting unhealthy bodies on a pedestal, and racism/xenophobia

there is rarely any collabs?????

like what's up with that..

Quote from jjjkkm

- Random high pitched high notes for the sake of having high notes in songs, or random fast-paced words for the sake of having a rap in a song

agreeeeeeeed with this, add the unnecessary dance break to this too

I dont understand why fandoms are so touchy sometimes when it comes to mentioning their faves. How many times have we heard the phrase "keep ****** out of your mouths" or "stop bringing ***** into this discussion".

Like, breathe a little, just because someone mentioned your faves in a Kpop comparison or analysis, there's no reason to go all agro. It's literally human nature to compare things, to draw associations, to highlight differences and similarities between groups or idols.

• People who make smaller groups down
• People who act proud of only stanning big groups
• People who call other artists trash/noisy just cause they don't like their music
• Girlgroup stans getting uslessly offended that boygroup stans exist
• People who hate you if you critizise a song they like
• Kids who take every word you say wrong and than acuse you as hater of a certain artist
• When you like different styles of music and get hate for that you like more than just KPop (example "Ew how can you like EXO and Justin Bieber?")
• When you defend an idol who gets hate for no reason and than everyone attacks you for what you do
• When someone defends an idol that was proofen as guilty for something very bad (example I once saw a girl on AKP who still suports Seungri and dosn't understands how everyone else hates him for what he did)
• When a company can't menage to give at least 2 comebacks a year to a group and maybe even sends them on a way too long hiatus for no reason till in the worst case the group leaves or disbands and the company dosn't posts a proper statement on their own failure
• The entire idea of the dept-system in KPop. In all jobs people get payed as soon they start to work but in KPop the companies keep the idols like slaves who often arn't even properly payed and that shouldn't exist ! A company who thinks they should take all income from an idol and can't provide proper care for their artist should not have idols at all or just lesser idols who arn't forced to give all their hard earned money away
• That nice CEOs arn't apreciated enough. An example for a nice CEO would be Kim Hyeim from Beat Interactive who did all she could and more even tho she was broke, even gave the boys pocketmoney as they were trainees and felt sorry when she couldn't buy food for the boys but everyone in the company loves her like a mom and is gratefull to be in her company, even if the first few years were quit hard

also being offended about male idols for changing some choreography parts when performing girl group songs is stupid af

Internal misogyny, dating scandals (they should not be called scandals imo) and bullying scandals (too much hate even when we have no proof)

People that lose their shit for things like this.

Thread

So about Ryujin reading that comment about Crush on vlive

honestly to me it's not controversial bc Joy and Crush are publicly dating but like sis, you should know sth like will rob many people the wrong way. Why put yourself in the middle of cross fire for no reason?

But that is perhaps not specific to kpop, just what happens due to social media.

How fans act as though their tastes are objective, but statistics are subjective.

This though is not unique to K-pop.

The fans - usually so immature and petty. Praising their group while berating others. It's one of the reasons I don't enjoy K pop anymore.

- Rose tinted glasses when talking about earlier generations

- People who think there is a universal "Kpop sound" and that songs are better/worse based on how similar they are to that specific sound

- RnB being seen only as b-side/filler material

- The compulsion for high notes in every single TT (it's not a bad thing in itself, but it's not a negative to not have these big notes)

- How replaceable idols are in the eyes of their companies

- The male gaze catering in gg music (much less than before, thankfully). Still not enough female leadership in the industry

- Losing connection to counterculture (which is quite unique given this is supposed to be a creative scene)

- The fact that so much lyricism is lost to the language barrier from Kpop's international growth (can't be helped, but still sad to see)

Yes I get annoyed when I don't understand English translations or they don't make sense, although I'm sure it's not easy to translate the equivalent of a poem into another language

It annoys me that some fans just stick to one group. There are many groups in K-pop who do unique shit so it's just kinda a waste to only get into one lol

I don't think so. It needs some effort to be a fan of a group. Some people don't have the time to san another group cuz of certain reasons (work, studying, etc...).
