minji bro
i dont like the song but the animation is cute. they look like nendoroids.
do MVs count as concept or visuals
both i guess?
Well, I just order it off target.com with my points. In fact, I get Target through delivery, but its still Target, lol
yeah a lot of places will carry CDs its just less common to see them at the stores
buying physical music is kind of a dead concept for the general public in the US. record shops are still around for people that are into vinyl/CDs but i would imagine most people just order kpop albums off the internet here. the target near me doesn't even have a CD section haha.
there are a few kpop stores in NYC though which is cool, though i've never been to one
Sis, I am. Like I said before, I knew very little about them and expected there to be more.
yep their discog is still in its infancy but they have plenty of stuff on YouTube if that helps haha
bro they have like 10 songs just listen to them
well, red velvet brings back some nice memories and puts me in a good mood when i listen to them. so there's that.
Display MoreAs someone who’s Gen Z, the answer is pretty simple.
Gen Z have very little to no interest in forums. Forums are nostalgic for people who are millennial and older, but they have barely any use for younger K-pop fans.
I’ve also noticed that new gen K-pop fans much prefer staying on twitter and tiktok and are happier and more content in echo chamber bubbles in comparison to older fans who seem to prefer diversity of discussion.
When newer fans aren’t joining, stagnation is an inevitability. The pandemic may have given the forum an artificial boost because of lockdowns but it was temporary and the fallout from it was certain to be big.
I think forums are awesome because I like talking to people from different fandoms and having balanced discussions. But I’m in the minority here for kpop fans my age who have no interest in conversing with people outside their fandoms (unless it’s to fight 🤷🏻♂️)
Discord, tiktok and twitter (and even Reddit to a fairly large extent) are probably the biggest factors that forums are dying across the board.
This forum isn’t perfect but the lack of active users shouldn’t be blamed on others such as mods or whatever. It’s easy to point fingers at others but this forum is honestly very active in comparison to most forum sites on the internet.
And the mods here are very fast and helpful from my experience. Trust me, they are saints compared to some shady mods I’ve come across.
It’s just a sign of the times, no one is to blame and it’s not going to change even with the dozens of layout changes.
hey maybe Elon will explode Twitter one day and this forum will rise like a phoenix again…but until then a small community is pretty cozy. I like it here.
can confirm as a late 20s millennial. tiktok and twitter seem like complete spazzfests that i have no idea how to navigate.
2019 thru covid era AKP was pretty fun. the revamp killed a lot of the activity, i imagine.
Let the creepy old man rot in retirement
Yep, never watched TV a day in his life!
Maybe he should move to North Korea. Sounds like his kinda place.
So this was a real controversy? People were trying to link NewJeans with terrorism?
K-pop fans are so creative when it comes to finding shit to rage about
