“K-pop, in general, is dying.”

I blame Yama.

So deduct 2 hours from this:

So in the US/Canada, where I assume a majority of users are from, it's late night/early morning Friday/Saturday.

Even in Europe, it's somewhat early Saturday mornin'

These are hardly peak times

I blame Yama.

Me too.

All his hit threads are killing the forums.

hasn't AKP already been an undead zombie for last few years??

Definitely not alive... but still breathing... quite abnormally.

I'm not sure how it was in the past but at this point it's basically just a small discord server of the same people fighting over their faves lol

Nothing compared to peak OH.

What a golden era of K-Pop forums.

I'm not familiar but googled it, if it was anything like AKP and actually active, i'm sure it was a good time

It was an absolutely massive forum, and it was by far the busiest K-Pop hub all throughout the third generation.

Just a thread for shipping Solar and Moonbyul had 1,000 pages alone

And my fights with Blinks here pale in comparison to my clashes with OH Blinks

But I was generally much nicer since I was a lot more careful with how I represented MooMoos

Isn't what's being discussed here just a smaller symptom of a greater issue being discussed in this thread:

Thread

Kpop in crisis

https://www.theguardian.com/mu…can-k-pop-overcome-crisis

Take aways:

Kpop is not taking off in the West, as it looked to poised in 2020.

Instead its Western lean has alienated Korean audiences.

The next big hope after BTS, BP - NJZ is mired in legal disputes.

Bonus:
So the Senior Singer IU, will again be left holding the field, while others rise and fade. As @WhyKnock doomsaid.

need more of this on akp

It's unfortunate that now the biggest "forum" is reddit because it doesn't allow for actual discussion. I only stumbled upon AKP forum because I was so sick of the reddit echo chamber.

This thread always comes as a clockwork. I agree but the problem is that hit threads are toxic threads. Which generates traffic then kills traffic. I try to spread positive content here but people don't find it interesting.

OH was good until its mods went ultra-woke. Many other sites have died for the same reason.

It was good until the servers went to trash and it would sporadically be inaccessible for days at a time.

I take 1 day off and this happens.

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

It’s only quiet because the boy group stans are in hiding—we come out once a month, like rare Pokémon.

Also, Ves was like "2025 " meaning that there would be talk about boy groups in 2025.

I agree with you.

RE: How many boy group stans do we have on AKP?

[…]

There are lots of people here that stan BGs. People are more often talking GG cause they're charting well so they are seen as competitors. Kpop stanning is nothing if not a competition. Fans of those ones on top celebrating and inevitably the more toxic of them shit talking is nothing new. Fuels the war.

And don't worry, when a BG makes waves, don't worry those stans will be crowing too. 2025
