yeh same

It's kinda what stops me from buying albums because they almost never release just a plain cd version

Quote from crystalblues

these are quite new although unsure of the quality as I am on my phone

there is an ig fan page with loads of updated pictures of him, if only there was a way to easy download them to upload here... xD

you should be proud! my country has taste after all; televote gave you 10 and juries 8

just chenged our detailed results. our juries gave 10 to finland and televote gave them 7 but juries didn't give any point for ukraine televote said, screw you, he's a 8.

My personal fav was malta

I'm glad they managed to remain in the top 10

With the whole drug drama from iItaly

Who knows, France might actually win(?)

Although I doubt we will ever hear the true drug test results because damn, that was a national embarressement if he truly sniffed live

Actually my brittish friend was looking at eurovision live and she told me she saw it and was sure they were drugged, even just by the way they acted (so italians just accusing french of the rumour is clearly not true lol)

I feel like we will remember this eurovision for a while xD

Quote from huRRicane8

Btw where are you guys from

france! Proud second place xD

i personally wouldn't want kpop intruding eurovision

We all know fans would boycott the show by preparing in advance to vote etc

When the essence of eurovision is to vote what you like during the show

Kpop fans (even c fans) would make the show just a fanwar voting contest just for the sake of making their group n°1

This fan preparation mentality does have no place whastoever in eurovision imo

Quote from doesitneedsaying

btw why is fairytale viral in france

I was actually listening to it yesterday

I was looking through eurovision songs and saw that one recommended and felt nostalgic af (it was truly a great song, pretty memorable even after so long)

I know my mum still loves that song nowadays (and we are french even if we don't live in the country, so i guess we are not alone lol)

so probably people felt extra nostalgic XD

france might have come second but i'm still proud lol

Didn't like the italian song, doesn't come any close to the quality of soldi last time which I loved

My fav was malta, and at least it was able to remain in the top 10 so congrats

Quote from penepol

How crappy for your housemate.

Yeah, my town really is basically like living in a Waitrose advert... if I want to go to an Asian food shop even, I have to get on the train.

It was, as most were actually stuck for months without finantial aid as the chinese government wouldn't allow them to go back, and the only few plane tickets available were in the thousands of pounds (which most couldn't afford)

My roomate got stuck here until almost the end of her room contract and would have been kicked out (our landlord lady was a jerk) but at the same time she couldn't really sign another contract

Thankfully she finally managed to get a ticket back

I think things have calmed down

But tbh i don't really see that many asian anymore, guess we can only wait until the new year begins as this tome we are supposed to have face to face classes again

People better behave tho, as what happened last year was really shocking and truly embarrassing (both eu and international students started feeling pretty uneasy in general)

We have an asian shop, and quite a few chinese restaurants all around town xD the shop even started selling bobba teas bought from a shop in manchester once a week

We are quite lucky (although personally not really a fan of asian food)

i learned to just ignore people like that

As someone with a brf and who rarely shows any emotions unless it is stuff i really like (and that usually doesn't involve people so they even feel jealous of that lol) it is the best clack back xD

Do what you feel it is right to you and to you alone

Go reach for your dreams

People are just temporal, be it family, friends or love relationship

Only 'you' is permanent as long as you live

So work in being happy and satisfied in yourself

Quote from penepol

Wow!!

I literally skipped all round my shop when I realised Dyna had been added to the playlist. They think I am at best ‘quirky’ and more likely straight weird for listening to Kpop and I got to have a moment of ‘See, told you it wasn’t just me!’

imo it helps in my case it's mostly a university town (over half of the population are students) and because our uni had a partner scheme with a chinese uni we had A LOT of asian here as well (and yeah, due to covid there was a a lot of issues going on and uni even ended up sending a few emails notice to stop the descrimination and threatening of sanctions. One of my old housemates was a chinese master student and we were pretty close, even together she had some issue from locals. It was pretty sad)

So age range, popularity of certain groups, plus quite big asian student population must have played a big part of it

But like I said, I almost never hear the radio here so it is hard to tell exactly (as I don't really eat out and such)

Edit: I remember back in Spain at a post office i was waiting for my mum to do her stuff and I heard dynamite, it took me a few seconds until it clicked to me what song it was and I said out loud 'MUM! BTS! IT'S BTS' (my parents know them because I went to a concert back in 2019 in Paris and it was the first concert I ever went to xD)

i'm so out of the loop i forgot about festa altogether until I saw this thread xD

Quote from leavessick

It’s just about overall situations I see often here. Calling a song a hit and other with higher numbers somehow is not big.

I feel like at this point it is just trolling depending on certain groups

Like a tradition

For new groups though it could be some non-fans trying to gatekeep the top when feeling threatened a new 'potential rival' appears

Edit: not only a kpop thing, but you see that with top artist in general, just look at twitter fans trashing and downplaying each other constantly

It is a harsh industry after all, fans/consumers can be pretty vicious (especially with an oversaturated market/industry)

is this about people still dissing bts and their newly released song?

How come we are still dealing with that after so many years and releases lol

Quote from penepol

Nowhere yet. *sadface*

That said, it took nine months for Dynamite to make it onto my shop’s company playlist! I only just celebrated that in the last week or two! 😂

And, tbh, you don’t generally expect to hear much like BTS playing while walking around my very little, middle-class, mostly white, suburban English town.

I'm in a tiny town in Wales and our local Asda had some BP and other kpop songs xD

Too bad i almost never went there (now even less)

There probably was some BTS at some point (and I was probably just unlucky timing wise)

Quote from omnimorphism

I don't leave home

Mood

Especially as I had finals lol

I remember hearing dynamite on the radio while I was waiting for my mum at a post office 'correos' back in Spain tho

But here in the UK/my uni town unless I go to our local Asda supermarket I usually don't hear the radio at all (and since I moved to another student room half an hour away from the center, I don't go to that shop anymore)

So I doubt I will hear it anytime soon unless I select it on my spotify

i listen to a lot of american songs but don't care about americans

Does that make me a bad person?

at most, of everything i listen, korean songs are barely a 10% at this point

And the number keeps going down

already lost most of the interest

It would the second time in possibly over a decade

I still think 2016-2017 were the best kpop years

I loved the releases during that time

Ah well, i'm back into japanese music tho

Which i stopped listening for years

So maybe my interest will come back one day

I still want to learn korean, but merely to follow webtoons and novels as translations are hard to come by
