  • Okay this will be a little sensitive but why is there a controversy for the smallest thing in KPop?

    Quote from cherrylipsoul

    I feel like it might have to do with how the industry markets the idols and itself as more perfect and catering to the consumers so the consumers fall into a sense of feeling that they should have a large say into what their favourites are up to whilst in the Western market, it is more of a "I put out this product, take it or leave it" feel.

    That's true, there's more investment bc you assume you can change things with enough noise. However, K-Pop consumers need to realize the burden to put out responsible content that reflects changing cultural norms is on the producers not them. If they don't like what is being put out, don't support the art.


    I wonder what plays into that culture around K-pop. It might be a mix of the infantilization of K-artists, the marketed struggle of it all, the higher amount of parasocial relationships, the hyperfocus on company brands, etc.

  • Why "Step back" lyrics is doing such a bad buzz ?? '-'

    Quote from ViWinters

    obviously these people have never heard XOXO by Somi lol



    (amazing song but the lyrical content is basically the same)

    The lyrics are pretty different. XOXO is about a relationship that already ended and she's being salty lol


    GOT is about a woman that is threatened by other women around an existing relationship.


    Ig they are both insecure characters to a degree. However, XOXO is about someone that is working on themself more and pissed about the outcome of the past relationship. XOXO isn't about someone that is fighting to take back a lost cause. In GOT, if the man is a lost cause to the perceived threats, why fight for him?

  • Why "Step back" lyrics is doing such a bad buzz ?? '-'

    The main issue I have is the implied need to keep an untrustworthy man in a woman's life and making the burden of keeping together the relationship on the woman. Why is it her duty to stop her man from straying? Why does she need a man next to her?


    It's not empowering if you're tethered to a man and must tear down other women to keep your status.


    The type of woman it is describing is the deeply insecure about their relationship type. Those that are in a secure and healthy relationship would communicate to their partner first about their concerns. Instead of addressing that obvious route, it shows that the woman is worried that her man will confirm their fears by leaving her for the assumed threats to the relationship. People in secure relationships don't feel the need to tear down others bc they wouldn't need to.


    Think of the American 60's housewife that goes behind the back of the husband to destroy the lives of the husband's mistresses or perceived mistresses. Would you say they are strong women? No, even they know they are vulnerable because their only form of support is through their husband. Hence they are desperate to keep the relationship alive so they survive.

  • [SM New Super Group] Girls on Top (GOT) "Step Back" Thoughts??

    Loved the initial melody and the vocals are great. For me the last half of the song fell a bit flat and I also have a lot to say about the lyrics below.

  • How hot are you when you wake up?

    Quote from alexS

    After reading all of the posts on this thread, can I just say this?

    We're all weird in our own ways...

    But I think or at least hope we can find somebody who can oversee our faults and like us for our strengths.

    True, I wasn't expecting this thread to get much traction lol. It's good to have respectful relationships where things like how you sleep and get up aren't massive hurdles in the relationship.


    Good communication would def prevent some of the things mentioned from being massively embarrassing.

    Quote from Kataphract

    Me, in general.


    JKJK but seriously I have a bad habit of absolutely clinging to things like my pillow while sleeping ( I clung to the edge of my bed once don't ask me how coz idk) so I'd be worried I mighta been all over them a bit too much.


    another thing is that my hands go where its warmest so I often wake up with my hands in my waistband. Makes it look like I was self-servicing.

    snuggling can be cute haha, and same on the hands in your pants part lol

  • How hot are you when you wake up?

    Quote from keaji

    I really don't even think of that in the morning, I'm too sleepy to even see and the only thing I think of is to safely get to bathroom haha.

    Also my bf doesn't care about that, neither do I, I wouldn't want someone that's doesn't like me in every 'state' ^^ And I never cared about how I look in the morning :wellr: I look fine though, if someone disagrees, I'm sorry but bye haha

    That sounds like a great relationship, kudos to you!

    Quote from unbannBLACPINK

    well firstly, everything's blurry without my glasses when i wake up


    so i'd be more concerned about me being able to see them than them seeing me

    lmao, are you ever worried about losing your glasses in the morning?


    Quote from Pikachu-Senpai

    Forget about looks, I hope my breath don't stank when I wake up first lmao

    Ooh, interestingly widespread gingivitis was pushed by the mouthwash industry so many people think their breath stinks when it's actually normal. Something that helps prevent bad breath is reducing plaque build-up. In my experience, if I brush well (your dentists aren't horrified) and hydrate often my mouth doesn't have the sticky bad breath feeling in the morning.
