  • The irony of IU becoming a Kpop star after spending 10 years contributing NOTHING to KPop

    This is dumb. In the end, who the hell cares if she contributed ANYTHING to K-pop; she makes music that the general public likes, it's a reciprocal relationship in Korea. Stop talking as if K-pop is a living organism that feels like its debt needs to be paid by IU—it's a damn music industry. K-pop artists, workers, and entertainment workers wants to invest in IU because they believe she's worth investing in, which she proved time and time again. She in turn invests in creating music that people like, help other artists, companies, and even the general public because she desires to do so; not because she feels indebted to pay back the industry. If some of y'all are butthurt because of the positive response she receives from her peers and fans in contrast to some of your favorite artists, then there's nothing at all to be said. Her main demographic is the general public in Korea, but if people in the industry and international fans want to listen to her and contribute to her growth, then that's not her fault lol.

  • Who was the biggest korean artist of the 2010's decade?

    If we're talking literally in the ENTIRE decade (2011-2020), then in Korea it's IU WITHOUT question—no one has had higher peaks with sustained success over a period of a decade than her in the 2010s (arguably ever in Kpop, but I won't go there here). Internationally it could still be argued IU (Asian countries), but if we're also including the Western front, then it's without question BTS (2nd half of the decade). Psy definitely opened the door for Kpop in the West (and globally with Gangnam Style, nothing will be bigger than the peak that it had), but BTS definitely capitalized.

  • Is Celebrity that good or is IU at a point where she can release static noise and it would still Hit the charts?

    IU does benefit from her reputation, but she benefits from it because she's the one who built it up and consistently backs it up with her releases and interactions with fans throughout the years lol. This song was good. And tbh, I know that the static noise is a hyperbole, but the fans don't even have to worry about her releases because she's in total control of her music—production, lyrics, song-writing, etc.

  • Chungha is the most versatile soloist

    That's not even 1/10th of her discography that already shows so much versatility lol.

  • IU’s song underperformed

    Got em :D
