can you translate? what is happening in India?

They act like being Exo-L/Blink/Army etc. is a character trait

"*insert idol name* is the first person born in Gwangju in February who is 181cm tall has shoe size 6 who achieved over 50 000 spotify streams in under 48 hours, from people in at least 20 countries which are not members of the NATO"

seriously this is the main page in allkpop fro the past year and also the forums...

like how do fans even think of those

SNSD's I Got a Boy was released at 7AM on January 1st, I remember sleeping for 3 hours that day, just so that I could be among first to watch it, totally worth it btw

Nope. Kpop is way more experimental than mainstream pop music. You can find mixture of lots of different genres from kpop music. Genre switches are amazing. The beat & melody changes are very unexpected, the sound is very unorthodox. The best examples are here:

But Koreans love simple catchy songs.

Some K-Pop songs are experimental but most of them are just generic pop songs. Also experimenting does not always work, some songs sound like shit (I know music is subjective, but really...)

Quote from jinaland

Koreans are not open for experimental music.

K-Pop is not really experimental, it´s mostly just regular pop sung in Korean (as the name suggests). I don´t think this has to do with the openness of Korean to a type of music. K-Pop songs used to chart way more during the 2nd generation. Korean fans just changed their taste. Also many K-pop groups shifted their focus towards international market.

I would say 3rd, because I remember all of them debuting, so they feel like my babies even though they are all older than me

1. SM - got me into K-Pop, like all of their artist, Black Mamba was not my favourite so I cannot really judge on Aespa yet

2. YG - I'm an older stan, I remember K-pop when 2NE1 was around and putting those girls together was one of the best things that happened to K-Pop

3. JYP - I loved Wonder Girls and 2PM, but since WG disbanded and 2PM is not really active, I'm not really into their newer groups, but I loved Eyes Wide Open, one of my favourite albums of 2020

4. BigHit - I used to be an ARMY when BTS debuted, but I stopped stanning after Young Forever came out, the fandom got too big and and their style kinda changed, it just wasn't my thing. I only like one song from TXT so...

Quote from Flowercrew

I dunno about Baekhyun, never listened to his songs, but Taeyeon ain't the best either but I appreciate her voice and songs.

Well, they are both considered as one of the best vocalists among idols, so that speaks for itself. I personally prefer other singers voices when it comes to ballads, but you cannot deny their talents.

I agree with people above... Jungkook is not a bad singer, it's just that people often compare him to idols who are on a different level. But that doesn't make him bad. Just because someone can't sing like Baekhyun or Taeyeon doesn't make them a bad singer. K-pop fans just always feel the need to bring some idols down to lift their faves up.

this isn't even a competition... 2010 was superior for music all over the world

Quote from hueningkaiskai

bts have better rappers and dancers and their vocals are god too the comparison is a set up

I agree that BTS have better rappers, but I prefer NCT dancers over BTS. But yeah it's a stupid comparison imo

Not my favourite, I still dislike it. But Dynamite and Life goes on were way better, so I'm glad they redeemed themselves for me.

Quote from Princess1233

Thats true and the perks that comes along with it: Free travel and accomadations for fashion week or any Chanel events, free clothings, and the status of being a Chanel ambassador in a campaign. Am I missing anything else?

also being embedded in the world of fashion for eternity, it is a very prestigious status, not everyone can say that they have done a campaign with Chanel

Quote from Princess1233

Thats true it just seems that she should get one. We can tell she wants one.

to be fair who would not want one :D

Depends on how much Chanel makes in East Asian market, if their sales are good without Jennie, then we most likely won't see a campaign any time soon. But if they decide to target East Asia more, then Jennie and/or GD is the most suitable person.

Chanel is a business in the first place, they don't do stuff because they want to, but because it makes money, so you have to look at it from that view.

In Korea it was Miss A, but internationally it was f(x)

4minutes lasted the longest

Just copy/paste the link, don't put it in "insert the link"

oh, great... thanks, I didn't know it would work just like that

DBSK's MKMF performance

btw, how do you insert a youtube video? the button for inserting media seems to have disappeared after the update of the forum

Quote from lovable-15

I hope so! Japan is generally more accepting of foreigners than Korea so they'll have a pretty good shot.

I hope to see a group that'll be as big as KARA or TVXQ in Japan

No group will ever be on the level of TVXQ in Japan. At the time of their peak, many of the Japanese people actually believed TVXQ were a Japanese group. Also they still sell out arenas 18 years after debut. No group can replicate that
