G.D has fucking debuted in 1994 at the age of 6. He has debuted before most hip hop acts 1TYM, Jinusean etc. He got his writing credit only at the age of 13. Nope, kpop wasn't experimenting before. It was literally copy paste of western old school hip hop. But G.D has wrote "Haru Haru" which is a dance song with a hip hop ballad, driven by a sentimental piano melody. The song also includes a synthesizer sound that sounds like an orchestra that feels its "empty spaces". The song had huge success. It was wowed by it's experimental and unconventional sound. Even Billboard credited it as "experimental masterpiece". This is a video saying Jungkook has decided to become singer after seeing G.D's Heartbreaker lmao. What are you talking about?

You don't sound convincing enough lmao.

baby you can keep linking that video of a young jungkook or you can see the (at least) 8 times jungkook has said he only auditioned at a singing show, only became an idol because he wanted to dance with NO interest in singing?

you’re probably forgetting that in kpop, idols are supposed to praise their seniors (especially if they’re from a non-big 3 company like bighit used to be when this happened) he hasn’t mentioned them since they got enough public recognition on their own. it was around the same time bts stopped doing covers and other things to link their seniors to themselves (as all rookies do with their seniors at some point).

every nugu rookie has an inspiration that is a big idol. every non big 3 group does covers from the biggest seniors. etc. if you’re really a 2nd gen stan, you know how that works by now.

once the pretense could be dropped, it was. the fact is that jungkook has made BEYOND clear on several occasions that he never was even interested in singing. after he was accepted by bighit was when he realized he even could sing that well and he was shocked to get the main vocal role. that he didn’t care about singing at all and he only wanted to be a dancer.

but of course it’s more fun to ignore the logic and perpetuate your little narrative instead right? too bad no one will ever buy into that bottle of noise lmao

You know G.D was one of the first hip hop acts in Korea? BigBang has changed the whole game. They have deviated from original hip hop roots and went very experimental with their sound. They were the first mainstream idol group.It has proven the whole world that kpop isn't only one sound. Then after that boom so many hip hop influenced kpop groups are born. JK is inspired by lots of people. But he has said himselves G.D is his biggest inspiration and he has wanted to become a singer after seeing him.

this is all so untrue lmao you’ve lost the plot, jinaland.

hiphop was around in korean when gd was still a CHILD. and popular, too. and kpop was already known to have different genres and saw experimentation in music, before bigbang.

and as for your whole “jungkook is a singer because his biggest inspiration was gd” BS lmao jungkook has literally said multiple times that he only became a singer because he wanted to dance. that’s why he auditioned for the show, that’s why he joined bts, that’s why he went to la. his intention was to dance and he didn’t care about singing.

like MANY nugu rookies, he said he was inspired to be a singer by a group that the public liked at the time. 2nd gen groups did it, same with 3rd, and 4th. companies tell them to, and get them to listen to all their music, etc. this is common knowledge.

your attempts are transparent, sad, and not even slightly convincing. just give it up lol

zayn is okay, jins visuals are better for sure

it’s a trend because it was a trend in the us (doja, dua, the weekend, etc.) and stuck around too long in my opinion, but korea loves retro and mj so it stuck around a while. everyone will start going back to other concepts now that the trend has passed...

bts slow songs and darker songs do just as well though

their best charting song is a ballad aka spring day

they have an amazing discography and are becoming more well-liked internationally, so we’ll see!

as for korea, i think they ignore them because they’re from a chinese company. it’s just unfortunately how it works sometimes. if they continue to make such good music and get even more i-fans like they have, koreans will become more open to the idea of them being a prominent group

she uses a stylistic whine which can sometimes sound irritating but can otherwise be implemented well

if you honestly hold this opinion, you must be a white person from toledo who think saltine crackers are “a little spicy” and gets confused between western and eastern asians.

in short, you must be uneducated.

Quote from hueningkaiskai

blame bighit

they need to up their domestic promo

they have money why not use it?

it’s not the fault of bighit but of korean broadcasts and naver.

korea still tries to downplay bts. mostly naver (but they have ties to k entertainment through yg so if course they are biased)

my best way to describe it is this:

the country knows bts are our pride. they’re in our national anthem, even. but it’s the media who doesn’t want to acknowledge them. the broadcasts and naver try to hide them, but korean people will always know. bts is our true pride. no one compares to them when it comes to the pride of our home.

obviously bts win

bts has god tier rappers and dancers whereas big bang dont. bts also has god tier stage presence whereas big bang stage presence is overrated.

bts also has a better discography, better visuals, and are more preferred by our country.... not to mention their artistry

Quote from sanamana

I personally think there are no it boys at the same level as it girls right now

jimin is #1 of brand reputation for 25 straight months, koreans are obsessed with him.

jungkook single-handedly made casual hanboks a trend in 2019 and managed to sell out fabric softener within hours of mentioning the name of it. he trends more than any idol ever and is more google searched than any idol ever

for the past several years, the style and trend in america has been increasingly luxurious and polished. focused on name brands, expensive accessories, high fashion, etc.

recently, and for the foreseeable future according to pretty much every western fashion innovator, alternative style is making a comeback. specifically punk. this is largely influenced by the american political state and how youth are rebelling against capitalism.

as luxury styles, polished looks, fine jewelry, etc. are becoming “tacky” to the american youth, and more diy, punk, alternative, home-grown styles are becoming more popular and sought-after.... how will k-companies who are dead-set on us expansion adjust for these changes, especially given how most of them are very focused on that luxurious and polished image?

will they be able to keep with the trends and tone down the expensive and polished concepts, using more relatable and “regular” concepts? or will they fail by continuing to promote groups with rich, polished, luxurious concepts?

just something ive been thinking about for the last 3-4 months or so. for example, i believe sm will have a hard time letting go of these super high fashion, expensive, polished concepts. the american youth won’t be huge on it. apparently it’s supposed to be several years before that overly luxurious style comes back to trend in the us (youth)

what do you think?

jungkook if we’re talking globally. if there is one global it-boy it’s him

any time the locals discuss kpop they bring out the jungkook memes and he’s always trending, etc. if it’s in korea only, then it’s for sure jimin.

yeonjun is the fourth gen it boy, of course. that’s his official title

it looks horrible but it could sound good

i can’t help but laugh at “aye let me know” from ryujin though because every time i think she’s going “l m n o” like shes doing the alphabetsjjfjf

i also have to agree to the “not teddy” thing, like some other people said

and definitely not another d4/hylt concept. as their style irl and endorsements matured over the past 2 years, i think their concept could as well. lsg felt like a mature sister to pwf and it suited the members at this moment in time. so maybe a summer/girl crush concept (classic bp) but a bit more mature than square up era was (since that was so youthful)

maybe an uptempo song about finding yourself or something with a strong choreo and a summer night, club/party concept... then ready for love would be a perfect second single (it has summer vibes like forever young but slightly more mature. it could have a beach concept mv to match the concept)

they have though... they’ve performed live with halsey (in their france concert, at the bbma, etc.)

feel special is one of their best songs, and one of the best kpop singles of the century

i wish they played with the concept more but it would require more content and we know yg isn’t willing to give it to them

-like a pink mini album with a single, then a black mini album with a single, then a repack with a 50/50 single (like lovesick girls)

-or maybe like color coded subunits like: maybe lisa and rosé do a black single, and jisoo and jennie do a pink one?

-they could also play with a track list like do 2 pink songs, then a 50/50 song, then 2 black songs (so the album gets darker as it goes)

-etc

typical of me to mess up my first post back lol

ALSO! the committee ended up voting to add kda because of how important of a role miyeon and soyeon play in the group.

i also want to congratulate stayc for entering the perfect album hall of fame!
