Do you even check out content anymore?

    Sometimes when I talk about MEOVV or BABYMONSTER, people say they want to stan but there isn’t enough content...


    Maybe they just aren’t putting in the effort to seek out such content because MEOVV has:

    A whole variety show of their own

    A “behind the scenes” video for each MV

    Two “behind the scenes” videos for the member teasers

    STUDIO CHOOM performance videos

    Multiple NPOP appearances

    Two variety show appearances

    3 or 4 radio talk show appearances

    A whole MAMA performance

    Constant shorts/reels/TikToks


    It’s honestly hard to keep up with, so I don’t know what more people want.


    BABYMONSTER has had an amazing year in terms of content, too. They already got four music videos for their latest album, one more MV on the way. Rami and Ahyeon were on Lee Mujin Service. Ahyeon and Pharita went on Begin Again Open Mic. The group went on that one variety show hosted by Jonathan. That’s just some of it. Tru-Multistan can elaborate on this.


    I think people just see a YGE group or a Teddy-directed group and think “Ah, another YGE group stuck in the dungeon” and run with that narrative without actually checking out the content.


    Or maybe we’re just getting lazy or losing interest when it comes to content.

    i was never a big content watcher tbh; but i've been getting into it more and more recently.

    i'll watch it if it's posted here and has my faves. but, both of the groups you mentioned have at least a decent amount of content considering how old the group is. you can't expect them to pump out content every other day.

    oh yeah im a massive kpop shorts consumer so i guess it makes up for my lack of content-watching

    I enjoy quite a few groups, but the only groups content I actually watch is Babymonsters their Haunted House episodes from last year are some of my favourite youtube content I've watched in years.

    I get bored easily with variety stuff, but I watch around 30-40% of them, also I watch majority of their shorts, and almost all of their performances so I’m very involved with the groups that I stan

    I think my attention span is fried from watching too many short form videos. I can't even sit through tv shows without skipping it or putting it at 1.5x spd.


    The new groups don't have as many active fan accounts. Usually, it takes time before one or two really good ones to pop up. Until then, it won't show up on shorts/reels through the algos, and a lot of people consume Kpop content through these short form fan account vids.

    This is a good point. I think people's attention spans these days are so bad that they don't bother watching lengthier content anymore. Things have shifted drastically.

    I still watch BTS content, so yea for me.


    For MEOVV or BABYMONSTER, pretty sure that all falls under the umbrella of "excuses"

    Yeah, in the case of these two groups, I think people just aren't invested enough if they use "lack of content" as a reason for not stanning.


    All I know is I keep getting new content from MEOVV and BABYMONSTER and I have a hard time keeping up because it's way more frequent than expected.

    Short-form media ruined people's appreciation for traditional content that's in the form of vlogs, interviews, and variety shows. The game has changed a lot, I feel.


    But yes, people don't even realize this, but these two groups have been getting a crazy amount of content. I guess the algorithm's recommendations just don't show up for a lot of people because they're not seeking out such content in the first place.

    I really stopped watching most content when 2nd gen faded out. It's just not the same.


    Idols aren't as funny + my attention span is worse. Written interviews is easiest for me + English content so I can still multitask with 5 other things

    Like I said in the whole 3rd/4th gen v 5th gen thread, it's a time thing I think


    Post-pandemic, people are back very much full time work/school, back on site and with cost of living crises worldwide, doing a lot MORE work just to get by.


    Which means less time to devote to things, especially longer form variety content and decisions made about what to consume.


    Personally, I come home from a 9.5 work day and 10-40 minute transit and, if I go home, between tidying up house and cooking dinner, before bed, I have limited time for hobbies


    In that time I choose between

    Catching up on TV shows I watch

    Reading comics I read

    Recently, painting minis

    Gaming, especially online games with daily check in content like Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai Star Rail

    Reading

    Other online content like forums

    Other Youtube content I watch

    Idol variety content



    I only got so many hours in a day and I gotta choose what things I wanna do and what I gotta skip. Increasingly, its idol variety content.

    I try to watch content from my favorites and I don't mind.

    But, I do get surprised when there's an influx of it out there so I can't quite stay on top and not become a bit overwhelmed. Regardless, I'm very glad there's content to watch.

    How does it feel knowing you voluntarily ended up doing that homework???

    You've changed from just a simple, modest replying member to a posting member.

    I'm not the type of fan that watch a lot of content if it's not music or performance related.


    Once in a while I will watch an interview, but variety shows, vlogs etc.. I don't watch 98%. I just will see short clips on Twitter. My faves have SO much content, I have no idea how they pull such views on all of it when they release so often. But clearly a lot of fans aren't like me and it will "never" be enough/too much.


    But with performances and production/recordings I usually watch, and depending on MV, the MV Making.
