Because people are hypocrites. Kpop fans are not excluded.

I also prefer NCT U and WayV, though NCT U is not technically a single unit. It's the one that can include any configuration of all of the members depending on the song.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

SeulgiAbs trying for the Triumphant Trifecta of Trolldom: Riling up at least one fanbase (Army), setting up two different fanbases to fight each other (BTS and SM groups), and then trying to get one fandom to fight within themselves (Lisa akgaes vs Blackpink OT3)

This is not really difficult. Certain Army are in a permanent state of being riled up, certain BTS fans and SM group fans are permanently fighting, and certain Blackpink fans are permanently fighting each other. All you have to do is mention one of them and there will be fighting. Trolls have it so easy here, I wonder how they are even getting any satisfaction out of it.

What is a Nectar thread?

NCT U, as in the majority of my favorite music is under the NCT U label, but after that, it's probably between 127 and WayV. I think I like more 127 songs, but they also have so many more songs in general. Coupled with the fact that most of my favorite members are in WayV, I'd call it a tie.

Can someone give me an example of an at least semi-popular active group that legitimately never sings live? This seems to be a common topic that's brought up (aka a common drag people use to uplift their faves), but I have yet to see an actual example. I mean idols are literally trained for years to be able to sing live while dancing, and many don't make the cut for a reason. Any remotely reputable agency won't debut a group that is completely incapable of singing live.

Her with black hair just hits different. I'm going to have to ask SM to never dye her hair again. (I know this won't happen)

See you all in 3 years when this gets revived and we see how well this ages.

You're not crazy. It definitely does.

I will add though, before anyone comes in with plagiarism claims that it's just that one step-wise descending melody which isn't necessarily that unique. It has a completely different function in the context of the overall melody and harmonically as well.

SM has recorded live albums , Shinee and TVXQ live albums are pretty good, you should give them a try

I started listening to more TVXQ near the end of last year, so I think I've heard one, but I only just very recently started getting into Shinee, but I'll definitely give them all a listen as well eventually. I didn't know about the NCT one, so thanks for posting that. I'll listen to that one too.

I was actually very pleasantly surprised Exo had so many live albums. When I started getting into Kpop just over a year ago, I expected there wouldn't be any groups with live albums, since they aren't really a thing in modern pop anymore, but looking for different live classical and rock recordings were a major past time of mine when I was growing up.

Definitely wouldn't call it a real comeback. I think Red Velvet will probably do a full comeback before Aespa will, but I could be wrong. Aespa still hasn't released anything physical/EP/mini-album.

I love the direction Exo's music took later on, but I do somewhat wish they had more of those early epic cinematic choral songs like El Dorado, MAMA, Wolf, etc.

I like the song, and I'm very interested to see how they will make it their own.

It's rare, but I've seen it one of two ways.

1. If they are brand new fans of one or two groups, but it usually doesn't last long, since they will inevitably hear about BTS.
2. They were old Kpop fans that never checked out any new groups after their faves.

Honestly the only one that would bother me is a saesang. That's obviously the worst one by far, as they are by definition unstable. The others would be fine. It's not like I need to talk about Kpop with them.

I don't trust anyone who dislikes Xiaojun

Loved this mini album. Still waiting on a full album from him, but I unfortunately doubt that it'll happen before he leaves for the military.

Neo Zone is truly a masterpiece. Admittedly, I was one of those people who was hesitant to try to get into NCT because I was intimidated by the amount of members and the concept, but hearing Kick It made me want to check out the album, and I immediately went to go listen to their whole discography because of it, and now they are one(some) of my favorite groups.
