K-POP Hot Takes

Quote from ThePhantomThief

XG is absolutely cutting almost every active kpop girl group down into pieces, ESPECIALLY the 5th gen girl groups.

Facts.

All of you talking about idols and singing but truthfully there isn't any idol that is a bad singer.

Saying you want an idol with a "pleasant tone" is just reaching because what you deem pleasant is different from what others deem pleasant and what is ACTUALLY pleasant.

But anyways, those that are deemed "bad" are improving and that is noteworthy. But y'all should nawt be expecting them to become some kind of Mariah Carey overnight LMAO.

That's it, that's one of my many hot takes.

FACTS!!

4. 5th gen gg music(there is an exception) is the worst music produced in kpop history

5. SM’s obsession with lypsinging is very frustrating and I can’t enjoy most sm acts performances because of it

6. Most kpop groups should be banned from rapping. Rapping in most of the groups is really horrendous

7. Monotonous repetitive choruses and anti drops are already overused and mediocre at best.

8. Most of 4th gen and 5th gen idols should get serious vocal training because even their tones became unbearable even in studio versions of the songs

4- give it time..it'll get better(?)

5- agreed! like y'all cannot sit there and just waste such amazing potential

6- ill just say that rapping is something that actually needs to be worked on in kpop. i cannot name a group apart from XG that has a solid rap line. Seriously, any member of XG can end your faves' main rapper (respectfully).

7- well..

8- nah. all vocal training does mainly is improve your technique and strengthens your tone. apart from that, there are other factors that determine vocal tones.

6. Bts vocal line used to be my favourite in entire of kpop. They have a great range of vocalists with all have unique tones, but with time, aside from Jungkook, the others' development has declined too much.

I mean with most men, our voices are pretty limited in comparison to the girls.

4 unfortunately agree, it's more like "do what we say, but don't do what we do"...

I mean I get this but it's kinda hard with the toxicity some men display. Some pick on the women who try to embody feminism so it'll get harder for them to "practice what they preach."

My hot take:

Many of the people who hate on NewJeans do not hate on them because they actually dislike the group. They hate on NJs for several reasons:

1. They don't like the fact that they and MHJ became so personally involved which at some point made it seem like MHJ was using NJs (which honestly she kinda was.)

2. They dislike the fandom. Very often have I seen some bunnies displaying toxicity towards other groups and idols for literally no reason at all.

3. Cuz of Hanni's appearance at the National Assembly. Some think it was brave of her, others think it was wildly unnecessary. I'm more in the middle tbh. I like that she spoke up about it but doing it at the National Assembly can come off as being oblivious to other issues that are actually serious.

4. They just don't like the noise. Some if not most fans like to have peace and when some controversy erupts and it causes such a massive uproar for a seemingly minor reason, people tend to get mad. Especially when bunnies get passive aggressive towards other fandoms. It's kinda when you were little and your parents would scold you for little things.

Anyways, none of that justifies the hate but I'm just putting this out there.
