I think 3rd gen starts with the 2012 debuts though? There are alot of popular groups that debuted in 2012, Exo, Btob, Aoa, Exid to name some and usually a new gen begins with a new wave of popular groups or a shift in popularity from older groups to newer groups.. Also most people consider Exo 3rd gen to my knowledge, so it should follow that any other 2012 debuts are also 3rd gen

Sexuality really can change FOR SOME PEOPLE. I never said it can for all people, but for some it can, and people should accept that! If a person's sexuality changed, should they lie and say that it didn't? Obviously I don't support conversion therapy, and the fact that you even came to that conclusion is disgusting. Having a fluid sexuality and speaking about it isn't related to supporting conversion therapy.
I never said you did, I just said that the idea of sexuality being fluid (which you're bringing up as valid) kind of validates the notion that conversion therapy could work because it's saying that sexuality is able to be changed.. I'm definitely not coming for you or anything.. I don't want to invalidate anyone's experiences and of course only the person themselves knows their own sexuality, and if it changes for them in life, then only they can know and say that, but I'm just making the point that the LGBT community has fought hard to say people should be accepting of the LGBT community literally because they didn't choose this life, sexuality is not a choice and therefore no one should hate on someone for something out of their control.

I feel like people use that same argument about sexuality being able to be changed to claim that things like homosexuality conversion therapy work, which obviously isn't the case... I'm not sure if sexuality truly is fluid because if it was, then wouldn't that argument actually be valid? All homophobes could use that argument that you could just change your sexuality in order to become straight to claim that conversion therapy works. Idk I don't really know.. I guess it could be different for everyone, but I feel like the LGBT community has fought so hard to convey the idea that sexuality is not a choice and that's why people should be accepting.. If it's fluid, that kind of dissolves the argument doesn't it?

Wait when did Jisoo say it?
-
but this won't fit the narrative that "pretty girls can't make music"
I've never heard of this narrative lmao
-
a normal a-side track is like a normal title track, however once there is two or more a-sides, they all have mv's and all are promoted on music shows. maybe on of the a-sides are more promoted (EX: SNSD lion heart album. im pretty sure lion heart was promoted the most on music shows and on korean shows, but you think and party also was treated like a title track)
Ahhh thanks that clears things up
-
Wait so is an A-side a non-title track that's more promoted than the rest of the B-sides? Or is it basically a title?
-
I knew about Rollin and I had heard their name before but that's pretty much the extent to which I knew them, Oh and I knew Eunji because she was in Queendom
-
omg you scared me, your title isn't even accurate lol, it says she left the company not Apink... It even says they're preparing for a 10 year anniversary album and they just came out with their fan song too so I don't think she's gonna separate from being part of Apink entirely, although it's probably true she'll be alot less active with them from this point forward

After what happend in the fourth episode.
The FL and Plaza residents were so annoying to me, I would take a bullet for them now. The show just gets better as it goes on, it's been quite a ride 😂 I say this as someone who doesn't watch a lot K-dramas, but I'm glad I started this one.
Alright! Thanks that means it gets good pretty soon so I'll probably stay with it
-
That's certainly likely but when performing gee she's smiling and hyped as if it's a song she likes.
I'm thinking she's actually a tsundere, outwardly she hates but inside she actually likes but won't admit to it
Maybe
-
Know what the funny thing is? She says she hates gee but during her solo concerts where she's free to choose any song she still sings Gee lol.
Lol true, that may be the case though because she considers what the fans want to see, so she still chooses it despite not liking it
-
Yes we have a watching party on the disc every Sunday evening. I have watched Stein's Gate and yes, it does start slow but escalates later on. Sometimes the random comedic scenes with the residents is annoying and distracting but at least they evolve as characters later on. And sometimes it's good to get away from some of the real serious shit that happens.
Yeah Stein's Gate is insane, but the beginning almost made me want to drop it lol. The only reason i didn't is because of how good everyone said it is so i decided to stick around and definitely don't regret it. For Vincenzo, hopefully it's the same case
-
wrong subforum, it belongs to kdrama and films
i haven't sarted it yet, i'm waiting to finish its run and read reaction about finale, i don't want to be disappointed (mr queen still hurts me)
oh my bad, idk if there's a way to move it but I will if you lmk!
-
Same thing happened to me. I couldn’t stand the supporting characters at all. I don’t see how any of that was comedy at all. They are cringe and their scenes are just childish and unrealistic. If it was any other drama, I wouldn’t have got this upset with it because I would think it’s for less mature audience and drop it. BUT the serious plot line is good. It’s like two different shows put into one. The building’s residents characters shenanigans is one thing and the main and leads storyline is another.
I didn’t drop it and it indeed gets better each ep. though I stopped at ep 8 because I got busy. My sister watches it week by week and she keeps telling me to continue watching because it get so good each ep. I am a little hyped up about that. Its popularity keeps increasing too so I guess it does get better.
Yeah, tbh the "comedy" scenes with the residents was a little funny at first but it just gets kind of annoying to see random shit happening over and over when I want to see the serious stuff, like the intro really pulled me in with the airplane and the gasoline.. That was insane. Also, idk what they were thinking when they kept putting in the Italian food scenes where Vincenzo hates the food.. like we already saw it once and from where I am now, its been done a third time and I didn't even watch it and just skipped because it's literally pointless and redundant... However, I agree that the main, serious plot is pretty interesting, and if the show just did that, I think I would like it alot more from the start

Oh there are definitely multiple massive hits (PWF, Fake Love, Dolphin, HIP, Psycho, Bboom Bboom, etc.), people underestimate just how powerful 3rd gen idol groups were digitally. But these top 10 are the biggest, at least from a statistical point of view.
Stuff like virality and impact cannot be measured numerically. Take TT for instance. The song didn't meet 5 criteria, yet when that song comes on, K-pop fans will know that "TT" pose in a snap.
Ahhhh, right that makes sense
-
No, there aren't. I have a large database of this stuff at my disposal for my own personal projects I do.
Missing You has 2.2M Genie ULs.
TT charted for 44 weeks and has 2.1M Genie ULs.
Starry Night charted for 35 weeks and has 2.3M Genie ULs.
Oh wow thanks! Lol you sure do your research :P, anyway just asking because I felt like 3rd gen had a lot of huge hits but maybe that was just my skewed perception

Stick with it, it gets better and better. I wanted to drop it after the first 3 ep, too, glad I didn't. The comedy is still there, it's a dark comedy after all, but much better done then in those first episodes.
So what ep does it start getting really good?
-
I just started watching Vincenzo, I'm on ep 3 right now and there are some parts I really like (the serious parts) but I feel like there's too much comedy and random moments that kind of throw off the balance of the show for me. For those who've seen more of it, does the pace of the show change later on? I'm considering dropping it but apparently it's really good so idk.. If anyone of y'all have watched Stein's Gate, is it like that? Where the beginning is kinda slow and the good stuff is later on? (bc obviously Stein's Gate is insanely good but I can see why someone would wanna drop it if they only saw the first few episodes)
