Z-pop Dream was a attempt of making Kpop globalized by using english lyrics, and giving some asian nationalities not usually getting recruited by Kpop agencies a chance. That seems to have failed since Zgirls and Zboys seems to be on indefinite hiatus and perhaps even quietly disbanded. But what if their lineup and debut songs was totally different? Despite not singing in korean and having korean members.

This is the original lineup of Z-Girls and their debut song.

The song was generic and very outdated to be honest. It sounded like something made in early 2000's. The girls look fine, but many said they don't fit the korean beauty standard.

But what if the lineup was this? I kept Carlyn(filippino), Mahiro(japanese)and Joanne(taiwanese)because I think they do fit Kpop standard.

And their debut song would have a sound like Loona's ''Star'' english version.

Do you think they would have been received better by fans, and not been banned from performing on korean music shows?

Space opera movie fan-ficition idea with Kpop idols. Movie Title: Galactic Love

Movie Title: 은하계의 사랑 (Galactic Love)

Few facts about the Okkari: Not so much is known about them, other than they are 10x physically stronger than a average human being. They do not age, but not entirely immortal. Homeworld…

Few facts about the Okkari: Not so much is known about them, other than they are 10x physically stronger than a average human being. They do not age, but not entirely immortal. Homeworld is unknown, but we suspect they are from the other side of the galaxy. It is suspected they visited Earth before thousands of years ago, and ancient civilizations thought they were angels/gods from the heavens, because of their ethereal appearance.

Not so many introduction is needed. Mankind are losing against a highly technological civilization, and the only way to have a slight chance to fight back, is to united together as a common species.

2030 weapons for Earth will be exosuits, advanced robotics and jet fighters capable of space-flight. Weaponized satelittes for orbital defence.

pure beauty! She's just become my bias in StayC! Yoon is like anime character come to life!

Quote from VVisual

I'm almost certain there are/were Viet Hoas somewhere in CPOP. Most probably among the hundreds of contestants who've passed through IQIYI and Tencent survival shows. I knew there were some in Chinese cinema including Tsui Hark and Maggie Q who were A-list.

As for embracing their Vietnamese side, I could understand why they might not have bothered because of history. Many of them are there because their grandparents were forced out of Vietnam for having Chinese ancestry. Once in China, they probably want to get away from the stigma of being refugees. And the truth is, it is too easy for a Vietnamese even a full-blooded Kinh to blend into China without anyone knowing.

My mother's family were originally from Hanoi and a large number of their relatives went to China as refugees in 1970s. My grandparents from Saigon left by boat and were interred in Hong Kong before ending up in the US. My maternal grandparents had found and kept in touch with the China side of the family for years. But I guess the kids on both branches have lost touch since probably we've blended into our respective countries in the US or China.

The girls in Taiwan are younger and their family history more recent so their Vietnamese side is more fresh and they didn't have to go through the stigma of their parents being refugees.

I hope history can heal over time and we can have a single market across East and Southeast Asia.

As for Vietnamese marketbility, I really don't think they have issues with Vietnamese. Viet songs have gone viral on Douyin (Chinese Tik Tok) and of course you know about HKT (unfortunately.)

Sometimes, I don't think the C-ent companies understand how popular Chinese culture (Tik Tok, CPOP, CDrama) is in Vietnam. Because if they do, Tencent should be recruiting in Vietnam for their shows and not just Thailand and Malaysia. Just like RBW does for Korean companies.

I'm still hopeful for Hanbin but I can't start thinking it will automatically happen because it'll hurt if it doesn't. I still couldn't understand how Hanbin who ranked 4th can still not make the debuting lineup. I mean WTF? I already know he won't be in a group because there is absolutely no indication even when others (like Nicholas) were rumor and he was not. I just hope they will try him at solo. The twitter account sorta supports that. But I can't bank on anything.

I really hope there will be hoa viets Cpop idols or trainees who will not be afraid of embracing their vietnamese side. Just like the DD52 girls with one of them wearing ao dai.

Seen some vietnamese fanpages of Cpop, but they are a minority. I feel many vietnamese are still anti-China and I kind of understand why too. The political tension between the two countries are not decreasing.

If I were Hanbin, I should ask Belift to terminate my contract, so I can audition for other agencies where the chances for debut are higher. I think Vietnam needs to go the nugu route. Like Dita from Indonesia with SN and look how well they are doing. Despite coming from a small company.

As much as I want to see vietnamese on chinese survival shows, I think the chance for that to happen is very small. Like Korea, China doesn't see vietnamese as marketable, and not to mention the political tension between the two countries. Hoa viets I see more likely and we already have the girls in DD52 that we know of. I do hope there are Hoa viets in mainland China who are in Cpop that are willing to embrace their vietnamese side, and maybe show up in vietnamese showbiz.

For some months ago, I was confident Hanbin was going to debut. Now, I'm really unsure. Looking at HYBE plans that's been unveiled, I don't see any of the upcoming groups Hanbin could join. Giving his own twitter while other trainees don't, is a danger sign now when I think about it. Maybe HYBE is just using him to highlight their trainees? It's a dangerous conspiracy thought, but not impossible.

And they were just 5 ordinay Kpop loving girls who trained through the Kpop system, would people be more accepting of them?

Damn their newest b-side songs are strong! Especially New Me! As a Ujung, I'm satisfied! And FU Mnet!

A timeless farewell! Misa Hayase, Hikaru and Linn Minmay leaving Earth never to be heard again....

Quote from selfmate

you may have heard the saying that one cannot serve two masters...

I do. But unfortunately, WayV's master is SM and they are korean. At the moment, WayV has little to do with China when they are not even staying in China and promoting there.

Quote from selfmate

maybe probably...

if the song they released was in Korean they should sing korean, if the song was in Mandarin then mandarin etc etc

the issue is knetz have with China and things Chinese...

now if WayV were to change it - ie a song they released being in Mandarin then suddenly changing it to Korean to appease the korean audience and knetz, that might draw them maybe more backlash from their Chinese fans and the Chinese public

I was thinking like this: Next comeback, the mini-album and cb song will be in mandarin regardless. When performing on korean music shows, they use the korean version instead. Why would chinese fans be angry if the main product, the MV and single is in chinese. It's just when they are on a korean stage, they use the korean version. Or maybe use one of the b-side in korean to promote.

Quote from selfmate

interesting so in your opinion its best to kowtow to the wishes of the masses when things get heated?

would that not mean that WayV might also face backlash from their Chinese fans? (which are arguably more important than their korean fans?)

Tough situation, but I don't know. Just think they should sing in korean for the time being. What do you think they should do? Just continue on singing in mandarin on korean shows?

Quote from selfmate

why should one change the way the language they sing in if they want to sing in that language...

shouldn't the issue be the knetz attacking them and not the language they sing in?

I agree with you, but the reality is Korea is like that. China and Korea has a beef going on, and it's better to adapt to the situation imo.

be identified as a chinese Kpop group and not Cpop. Also, they should perform just korean songs on music shows. On MV's, they sing in mandarin. I think that would be the best route for the boys and SM, so they don't get more hate from knetz. Because I see increasing korean comments on music shows appearance, and they are not nice. They don't need China to be successful. WayV tops the album chart in Korea, so it means they have a decent korean fandom. Just let them sing in korean when in Korea, so it doesn't create more unnecessarry backlash against the poor boys.
