Indeed. I feel like we recently had a very similar thread from 24magicintheair: Yuna ITZY, will she become the most famous/known member?
And here's what I posted in that thread:
Instagram followers don’t mean anything, it’s only 1 million away, all it takes is one boost or two, for her to pass every member
-
No shade, Yeji is second best, but Yuna is just … wow.
She’ll probably debut solo last since she’s the youngest, but she’s definitely the most star quality.
If she was smart she’d wait and have a Hyuna moment. I don’t see her being like Bae Suzy, unless she becomes an actress, but she’s a great performer too. She may not be the most musically talented, but she’s definitely got the charisma to make her stand out
I could imagine her covering a Hyuna song
What do y’all think? Is there going to be a stand out star or are they going to be like TWICE?
-
No. That song was a hit because of Bruno.
Blackpink have their loyal set of fans who will worship ANYTHING these girls put out, even if it’s them farting into a microphone.
But , their glory days “peak” is coming to an end, they aren’t on Bruno mars level,
Hence why they are all collabing with thousands of western artists

Isn’t hooded eyes a common Asian feature? Double eyelids isn’t that common, it’s just a very sought after feature

Not the idols where they wear their stage clothes
But the actor ones,
Are they also wearing special made designer ?
Tbh, their outfits are always so plain and just eh 4F373B37-B2AC-4A9A-8C6B-BD3778EEAE80.jpeg

Compared to western outfits:

I remembered Yuna saying in a vlog, that she is buying a cup of a bikini because she “is not allowed to wear bikinis” herself?
Why is that?
K-pop idols can wear skimpy clothing, so I don’t really buy the whole modesty thing
And especially nowadays, seems like most idols (maybe older idols I guess) are taking pics in bikinis, 5 years ago it would of been unheard of to see a idol in a bikini

How is this any less “scandalous”:

Very different from the western world:

100%
Hadn’t multiple been exposed for being sexual deviants? There’s no doubts there’s all sorts of weird shit going on
-
A few reasons
1. Most of the roles they have gotten/will get are due to nepotism not talent. They know the right people,l
2. Sadly Asians are still underrepresented in Hollywood and there just isn’t really a space for them outside of the “side character”.
3. Neither of them come off as actors. Jennie did great in the idol, but I think that’s as far as it goes, I can’t imagine her carrying a movie or being the main star in her own tv show.
4. Lisa, well we haven’t seen her act yet, but truthfully I doubt it’s going to be some snow stopping performance, it’ll probably just be her playing as herself (like always)
Also I don’t think either of them are prioritising it, they seem to be chasing more western music success vs in the acting industry
-
I don’t think it’s a thing anymore, (correct if I’m wrong) they stopped it
But, naturally, she’ll outshine the members regardless
The only other member who could match her is Yunjin,

They’ll always be a Beyonce of a group, whether you like it or not
Only the big 4 groups haven’t got a “Beyonce” situation going on, most others will have one member outshining the rest it is what it is

It’s not fair on the others, but that’s showbiz
Who df put her in those though

There is definitely something secretly happening behind the scenes’n because why do all these nugu groups (usually girl groups) that hit big, always end up flopping?
The company your from really does matter, because it’s crazy
Momoland/fifty fifty/pristin and like a ton of other groups that ended up in similar situations where they had massive potential/had a hit and would end up just completely flopping

I’ll start Yunjin
I’m sorry y’all, her face annoys the hell outta me

Also her pre debut face WTF
Her pre debut face was prettier tbh, and less punchable , now she has this permanent smug look

Honestly 2016/2017 blackpink was cursed, idk who told them to act that way at their grown ass ages. But Lisa especially annoyed the hell outta me, the whole reason why I couldn’t fully get into blackpink.
(And before her parasocial fans comes to say “gEt Help” or whatever… please know… nobody gives af)

There’s a lot of K-pop idols who debuted at like 14/15, and I don’t doubt there’s exploitation going on, but how come most idols seem pretty normal?
Obviously we only see what they show, but unlike Hollywood stars where a lot of mega stars end up having breakdowns at like 25+, we haven’t really seen that in Kpop (of course there has been instances, but it’s not the norm
-
Is it a coincidence? Or intentional ?
There’s clearly no bad blood between them, they all praise eachother and promote eachothers music
But how come they release their music in the same months?
They had 5 + years to make a solo album, but now they all releasing their solo albums within the same 3 months
-
Beautiful visuals, she’s giving like FKA twigs or some thing in this
The song itself, is okay, something about is a little off (almost messy?) but it’s not awful

You’ll live!

Once upon girl crush was fresh, when blackpink debuted it was a change of pace from everybody and their mother wearing school uniforms (some in their mid 20s) and acting like children,
but now, girl crush is corny as hell, and kpop just lost its touch, blackpink pulled it off because they were grown women. love them or hate them, they did girl crush justice and were a more girly version 2ne1
something is cringe about a 14 year old rapping about how much of a "bad bitch" she is, while in skimpy clothing
I know music is subjective but this is genuinely BAD
BABYMONSTER - 'DRIP' M/VDRIPWhen I dress I don’t think so muchI could be the GOATI don’t need too muchI’mma set a goalI’mma eat that lunchBaby so cold get that ice cream truck찌릿찌릿 끼...youtu.beThere’s no real rapping, they are just yelling loudly, and there’s nothing unique or interesting, EVERY group is doing the exact same thing now.
Newjeans is in a similar age range, and are actually doing somewhat appropriate music (if we exclude cookie)
I never got the hate towards newjeans, their music is genuinely good?? Like , the girls even if they aren’t some crazy Mariah Carey level singing, ALL pull their weight. There’s no corny “rap verses” or anything. It’s all natural, with music that will genuinely age well
-
Beyond the dating, while 99% dating secretly anyway , and maintaining their “looks” (which let’s be fr, for most idols. Their entire career revolves around their looks)
What else are they’re restricted on? I use to think idols were practically tied up or whatever (when I was young) but honestly it doesn’t seem like that?
Most go clubbing, drink , hang out with friends,
Whatever “restrictions” they are, is just them doing their job, K-pop has always had a strange parasocial thing that companies want to maintain , and beyond that, I’d say most live somewhat normal?
Are there any good think pieces/essay videos on this subject?

They set it up for it to be their own space, but they are still surrounded by a team of people, their manager, high production edited, probably scripted,
