why are Korean soloist so disappointing

kinda agree

They're not the only soloists out there and they're probably trying to recreate the same formula that scored them a big hit etc

naah I enjoy a lot of their releases

agree about CL though her old music was super good but the recent one isnt hitting at all

dont forget iu, koreans love boring music

I don't agree about Chungha. Gurl do be releasing any genre she see.

In case of Hyuna, thats her domain lol.

Agree with CL tho.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I don't know how I feel about this because soloists are not as musically interesting as groups imo... by a large margin.

But I wouldn't go as far to say that they're boring, they kind of release the "same" music because that's why their fans/the GP like it. If it ain't broke, don't fix mentality yk?

I don't agree with Chungha, her last album had many pre-releases but all of them had a diffrent style

Agree with Hyuna and Jessi, but I still like their songs so I can't complain lol

I still love Sunmi's music. Even though the music in this CB doesn't appeal to me. IU puts out some monotonous songs, I think she always puts out sweet songs that are easy to listen to. But this is why Koreans love IU's style and voice. I like more assertive intense bold work in solos. There are few female soloists in this style.

Pop(ular) music rarely is "bleeding edge". What's super fresh is usually in other genres.

Yeah, IU’s recent music just sounds really boring. I can’t get into any of her new songs.

Do y’all never get tired of constantly complaining everyday? Always the same users, be making Kpop so depressing now

different strokes for different folks I guess

Its fine to not find an artist/songs to your liking. Taste in music is very subjective afterall..

Its funny tho to see the same tired nonsense about IU always doing the same or only doing ballads.

Of her 27 #1 songs in korea, a whopping six songs are ballads. With the exception of those and good day & you and i, not a single title track released is in the same genre/style.

And thats without even going into her b-sides. Her #1 songs alone are more diverse than 99,9% of all idol groups out there.

The reasons she is still at the top in korea after a decade is precisly because she does not release the same stuff over and over.

most of their releases are so reused and boring, I am talking about chungha, Jessi and Cl and hyuna. they make literally the same rehashed music over and over again and Kpop Stans pretend its revolutionary.

Not Baekhyun though
