Being a multi is awesome when it comes to music (also a music appreciation thread)

  • Why? Being more open-minded to other groups, soloists, and other acts is so rewarding. You find so much music that you never would have heard otherwise.


    I know I’m probably among the small minority, but when I check out a new artist in Korean music, I’ll check out all of their music, or at least a vast majority. Even if I don’t enjoy an album as a whole, I’ll usually discover 1 or 2 b-sides I adore. And for recent comebacks, I’ll keep a mental list of albums I haven’t heard yet (that reminds I need to listen to SuJu’s “The Renassiance” and Wendy’s “Like Water”).


    This is not a “one group” stan bashing thread, but being limited to one group is not for me when there’s so much talent and excellent music from everyone.


    Just this year I’ve discovered:


    Yuqi - Bonnie & Clyde


    ONF – Trip Advisor, The Realist (one of the best 2021 songs, period)


    Oh My Girl – Swan


    BTOB – Finale (Show and Prove)


    T1419 – Asurabalbalta


    TO1 – Son of Beast


    Dreamcatcher – Wind Blows, New Days


    PIXY – Let Me In


    P1Harmony (a group I’m now looking out for) – Reset, End It, Pyramid, AYAYA


    N.FlyingMoonshot


    ASTRO – SNS, All Good


    Everglow – Don’t Ask Don’t Tell


    Fromis_9 – WE GO


    Weeekly – After School


    Oneus – Lion Heart, BLACK MIRROR, What you doing?


    NCT Dream – ANL, Countdown, Diggity, Dive into You, Rainbow


    ITZY – Kidding Me, Sorry Not Sorry


    AB6IX – HEADLINE, CLOSE


    Woodz – Rebound


    Kang Daniel – Digital


    IU – My sea, Coin, Troll, Ah puh


    Ghost9 – UNO, Starvoy


    OnlyOneOf – libidO, byredO


    WJSN – New Me, SUPERMOON, Last Dance


    MIRAE – KILLA, We Are Future, Higher


    Drippin – Reach out your hands


    Pentagon – DO OR NOT


    WayV – Action Figure, Good Time


    Wonho – Ain’t About You


    Treasure – MMM (ROCK VER.)


    Monsta X – Addicted, Secrets, Rotate, Heaven


    (G)I-DLE – Hann (alone in winter)



    I hope there are more gems from groups I don’t actively follow!

  • i liked your post before even reading it. Lol


    I agree. Im not a multi stan per se, but im a casual kpop listener. Personally I think I would be so bored listening to only one group. Its nice to listen to a variety.

  • Loved the Dream/WayV appreciation and your song picks. <3:froghype:

    WayV has my favorite music of all the NCT units.



    yaaaaaass taste my girl yuqi deserves, bonnie & clyde is a bop :pepemusic:

    How to slay an English song by yourself, a tutorial by Song Yuqi.

    Thanks for the like.


    The amount of variety I've liked on Spotify makes putting my playlist on shuffle so much more fun.

  • I have only one question... WHY?

    Because I can? This is a dumb question.



    The taste jumped out :pepemusic:

    P1Harmony is the dark horse of 2020 rookies musically, I haven't been this impressed since TXT honestly.



    I recommend you check Purple Kiss and Majors! Hidden gems of the year!

    I'll try Purple Kiss out, but I don't listen to many new GGs.

  • Definitely agree, kpop is a lot more fun when I can look forward to lots of different kinds of music instead of waiting around for one artist


    Finding great songs from groups you wouldn't look at before is fun too, it's like hoarding a collection of hidden gems in a playlist

  • it might be good for you but its not good for a

    group to have a lot of multi fans. They throw their other favs under the bus if they get a new one to stan. They are really inconsistent and will not vote for you all time. They also tend to move on to another group if their favs go on hiatus.

    :confused:

    I have so many songs I love from groups I'm not an active fan of. "Stanning" (the whole process of streaming, keeping up with contents, merch, buying albums, etc.) gets tiring once you hit 2-3 groups.


    I just do listen to whole albums out of curiosity, and then I find an awesome song or several? Yes please.

    This thread is about music appreciation, not "fandom loyalty" (which is a stupid concept, spearheaded by purists who feel superior for liking 1 group at a time).

    Appreciating the love for SNS and All Good! SNS is slowly chipping away at Moonwalk to become my favorite Astro B-side! :froghype:


    I agree whole heartedly with your post! I legit love waking up every morning and hitting up YouTube for new music. I've some real gems of songs and groups that I may never have found on my own unless I was purposefully looking for them. I don't always check out the albums unless it's a group I'm familiar with or I was really impressed by their title track. I really should listen to more, but I just never find the time. :pepe-sad:


    For me the best thing about being a multi or open to other groups is that there's always something going on. It just makes the whole experience fun for me. I love keeping up with comebacks and new releases and seeing live stages and award show performances. It's so much fun even if it's not a group I'm a huge fan of. :blushing:

  • I think a lot of stans of single groups or artists often miss or wilfully ignore the fact that they person or group they idolise is usually a huge multi-stan themselves, always checking and loving and championing their predecessors and peers…


    Bangtan are my ults, for sure, but I’ve never wanted to limit myself to one person or group or genre or even time period. Music is - and has always been - the greatest love, passion, and joy of my life. I want to suck up as much of that joy as possible.

    That's one of the best feelings I've felt during my time in the larger K-pop community.

  • I don't have the drive or really the time to pay attention to other groups bsides my faves. But I wish all artists a very good run and successful life.

    And that's OK, not everyone has time or wants to put effort into hear new things. If you're more than happy with 1 group, that's your small happiness. No one should take that from you.

    I was exposed to very different music growing up, K-pop is nothing like it outside of a couple of songs. I've felt myself branching more towards hard rock and metal music this past year, and I never liked rock as a kid.


    BTS is my ult group along with TXT, but there is music from all over to listen to. Why not try some out?

    I like your attitude about music, it's very positive and life-affirming!

    Thats what I said though? I literally said good for you? But its not good for kpop groups because they rely on fandoms too much. Ifa groups fandom is consisted of multies ,that group will decline very early.

    Stanning a musician and being a casual listener are two different things. Don't mix them up please . You are literally insulting the true fans .

    This tea though. I'm not a hardcore Oh My Girl stan but I considered My Doll to be the best KPOP bside this year until TXT came around with the collapse that is Frost. I also had Cinema on repeat even though I'm just a casual listener of CIX. There's just so much good music out there, even from smaller/lesser known artists. :blushing:

    I think you should make your own thread about that then. This has literally nothing to do with the thread or the topic at hand.

  • I agree! I try to limit the groups I stan but I like listening new groups.

    And I also recommend purple kiss. I don’t like gg either, I only Stan G-idle and Purple Kiss. I just checked out they video because it was recommended but I didn’t regret it! They are so talented I was surprised that they just debuted. They debut mini album is great from back to front.


    Groups I found these past month who’s future song I will check out


    Ateez(kingdom effect, I don’t like all of they songs but they have some really good once)


    Girls in the park (Never heard of them and never seen anybody talk about them but this song is so catchy I don’t know why lol)

    I think your attitude is fairly similar to mine. If someone tells me they think I might like something, I’ll go in with an open mind and give it a shot. So yeah, might not like it, but what’s the worst that can happen?! You’ve used three and a half minutes! And you might end up finding something truly wonderful!


    I’ll definitely be going down your list checking out some of the ones on your list that I’ve missed. Thank you for sharing! :*

  • oh wow but do you really stan all these groups or more like being a casual fan? Because I would say it looks more like you really stan only 2 groups :eyes:

    I just listed songs this year I've liked from groups I don't stan. I stan more than 2 groups.

    Wait! GWSN is Girls in the park?? Then I seen them being talked about.

    :cryingr:


    I was thinking on checking them out because somebody recommended it on YouTube weeks ago. Lol It’s funny how I didn’t bothered but still randomly liked the song on the show.

  • That's cool, I don't have the energy or time to stan other groups because bangtan is overdose but I'm never opposed to checking out a random song here or there, no harm no foul.
