kpop has gotten so boring (1 Viewer)

[Moguri]

truth. i only wished for them to stop gatekeeping everything and be more accessible and being less freaky about the copyrights but definitely i don't want them seeking western validation (tho i am fine with them occasionally collabing with western artists (like it seems that Nissy will have a collab with the rapper Saweetie and those things are not new in jpop bc i remember back then koda kumi collabs with fergie and Omarion) but i still prefer to see them collabing more among themselves or with other Asian artists from other countries like for example straykids feat lisa; kangdaniel feat miyavi; Jolin Tsai feat namie amuro)

It's like a circle: Easy acessibilty to their content and laiding-back on copyrights make it easy to start creating a small fandom that would starts to create fanbubs that in turn would create a bigger fandom. It would also help if they themselves start to at least provide eng subs in their official content (for example the actor Takeru sato recently have listened his international fans and start providing eng subs in his yt account)

But i noticed that since 2020 it started to become easier to stan kpop bc now majority of those companies are uploading their full mvs on YT and their songs on spotify and similar platforms. And now with the fall of johnny's ent maybe things will getting start even better (we will see)

I would also love if those things changed and I would also think its super cool to see more collabs between arists, we at least got that G-idle / IVE / Aespa mashup for Nobody, that was a nice suprise for once!

Yeah the Kpop agencies made everything very accesible, many of them also provide their content on youtube with english subtitles (bigger ones like Twice have them on release now). But even for a group with big international fandom like Twice, all the content they put on the japanese yt channel is still not getting subbed

[Pirioca]

I'm super glad if you liked it!!!

Seems like you are more of a title track person!

Maybe. I never thought about that.

 

[Moguri]

It was also a very small sample size

Enough to make me interested in Twice. I'll check their songs out.

Do you like their Korean or their Japanese songs more?

Let's hope GFRIEND will be back one day haha

 

[Moguri]

I would be a bit more optimistic that you might just find a new group you'd like

eh honestly the same...? my personal interest in it has waned quite a bit, tbh. but maybe that's because i've got a ton of other shit going on in my life idk. industry seems more saturated than ever, but maybe it's just me paying more attention now, especially since i followed boys planet and thus know about the 428057862 groups spawning from that show (i joke, but does really feel like that). i've hardly been able to catch up with the music - including my own faves'. i did fall into the swf rabbit hole recently, maybe that takes up a lot of the interest i used to reserve for kpop earlier. but eh, maybe it's a phase, and i'll get back into it later

though it may not be a phase for anyone else. the industry truly burns fans out imo, so it's natural for people to get out of it without looking back even once

I think they have not confirmed it yet, but I think it was mentioned in one of those JYP reports

[Moguri]

There is always a next day and new group debuting
