why do all idols twerk at concerts?
serious question
Because their fans love it. Literally the only reason. Also a few choreographers insert it into their dance routines, i think Mina has it for her concert solo cover.

If it was an actual complete song instead of a literal riff/vamp/commercial, it would be a SONG OF THE YEAR CONTENDER.
Jesus effing christ.
It's so good though that even as a fake song, i am giving it a 7 out of 10 and bop status.
But the one thing this fake song showed me is that Jini has a fighting chance to be a viable soloist. We all know how incredibly difficult it is to make even a small splash as a Kpop soloist unless you are a 3rd gen star with a giant megafandom behind you like Twice, BP, BTS and even then you have soloists from these groups that make zero impact digitally.
When it comes to nugu or newer soloists that dont have huge fandoms behind them, the only ones making any splash in the past two years are Yena, Chaeyeon, Eunbi, and Somi.
I think Jinni has a chance to make a splash at some point within the next year . NMIXX might have suffered a fatal blow when they lost her.
It's behaving like a mix of Cookie and Hurt. Cookie reached top 8 while Hurt barely made it onto the chart.
That kid is so out of place. Their ambassadorships don't feel natural at all.
I kinda felt bad for her, isnt she the maknae and only like 15 years old? Imagine being in a room full of boomers, pretentious fashionistas, and Hollywood celebrities . That's Chloe Moretz in the video!
Seeing Hyein going on a full on luxury fashion event barely one year into her career is giving me major BP vibes. I've said many times how NJ is like the 4th gen Blackpink and their crazy ambassadorships and fashion promotions are an example of this (as is their spectacular charting globally and in the US and their diverse membership inc 2.5 truly fluent English speakers). We also know that BTS and BP arent strangers either lol despite how hard both labels tried to prevent any and all public interactions, so it's not unreasonable to assume Bang PD was and is a huge admirer of BP's global success.
Then we have LSRFM which was clearly Bang PD's attempt to recreate Izone using Chae, Sakura and Minju (i've read that he was a huge Wizone at heart lol). They have been laser focused on not only Korea but even more importantly, Japan. Which was Izone's bread and butter as well.
Basically he's got LSRFM for Japan and NJ for the West, with both strong domestically as well.
I'll be curious to see where Illin' fits in this picture. Dream Academy right around the corner as well.
Cool with You was actually heavily promoted. It has a high budget MV with popular cameo + many performances on music shows. It just didnt catch the GP attention (despite being a good song) unlike Super Shy or ETA. I would say it was overshadowed by Supee Shy. Similar to Cookies, of the 3 title tracks, there bound to be 1 that perform poorer than the rest.
Not comparable to Either Way which has 0 promo so far
Either Way is basically Ive's version of New Jeans' Hurt in terms of the vibe of the song. But it's being promoted even LESS than a New Jeans B side ffs, Hurt got three different MVs, featured in a live performance, and they even performed it on Music Bank.
BlackpinkHouse thoughts on the 80's stadium rock sound?
Definitely gave me more of that 80s vibe than almost any "rock" song i've heard in recent memory. Most Kpop songs with rock elements lean towards the post grunge alt/emo subgenres of the 90s/00s (Lovesong, Congratulations) or have more of a pop rock sound (Smiley). But this song definitely touched that nostalgia bone for sure. Loved it. 9 out of 10, it's just missing an epic guitar solo or a climactic bridge.
On another note, SM boygroups killing it this year. Broken Melody, the Guitar song not bad, and now this high end bop, they're clearing Aespa right now .
What is Ottolingerer?
Kpop experiencing its Golden Age right now. So no, i will stay. Izone's Reunion Album and Concert must still be experienced by me .
Sampling is good. Afterlike was a massive bop, better than the sampled OG tbh. Excited as hell for it, Memory was an awesome bop as well, probably the only one from that musical lol.
Hard to be a Kpop visual, esp with this generation. Competition is HELLA fierce right now. Wonyoung, Karina, Miyeon, Sakura, Yuna, Minji, Sullyoon...and this is just the list of offical or unofficial visuals of the top 7 Kpop groups outside of Stayc.
If i started listing other idols that are always praised for their looks in Korea (Winter, Yujin, Leeseo, Chaewon, Kazuha, Shuhua, Yeji, Haerin), idols from 2nd and 3rd tier groups (Yiren, Heejin, Nana), soloists (Somi, Eunbi, Yuri), and 3rd gen groups still active (Mina, Jennie, Jisoo, Sana, Arin, Yooa, Irene), you can see how one might feel insecure from time to time.
I had never seen anything like it.
“he is even being granted a military exemption due to the national prestige of his accomplishments as a League player”
So you can get an exemption for playing video games, but being an Idol from a successful Kpop Group that is pushing the Hallyu wave, which brings way more attention and even money to South Korea won’t? lol
Seriously.
IT'S AN EFFING VIDEO GAME OOOOMMMGGGG.
There is no universe in existence where it makes sense to put a video game player on anything remotely close to the same level of an actual musical group that actually creates something. Like even Dynamite is 100000000000x more impressive than anything a video game player has done in his entire life.
Putting E Sports "Champion" and national pride and prestige in the same sentence is a massive paradox for me.
Wow, that's actually a decent sized move. Most times when Kpoppies bring up day to day fluctuations in a stock price to exaggerate their faves' impact, i just kinda roll my eyes lol. But this is fairly significant. That chart dont look good either, broke some important trend lines. Support at 40 and then at 20 based on just the chart.
Bluebeard says hi . It's the most viral, best performing true B side since Forever Young, reaching #2 or #3 on Melon Daily.
It's a great way to reconnect with my home culture. Really perfect actually for those of us expats who grew up divided between our American and Korean selves, the mix of Korean and American in Kpop seems to be targeted directly towards us (which is why im not surprised to see so many Asian Americans making up the audience in Kpop concerts here).
lol we all know those TW comments would be different if it were a bunch of handsome young men like Justin Beiber in the front row instead of attendees at the local anime convention
Also, if these are considered uncle fans, i must look like Colonel Sanders to those TW users lol, the fans look no older than like 25 on average. They CANT be 40+, they just cant be lol.
