    expensive kpop merchandise

    Kpop merchandise has gotten expensive and i have noticed. kpop companies are getting too comfortable with fans' loyalty and are dishing out member versions of a single album, expensive lightsticks and simple merchandise being around 45$ and are probably going up. it is not worth it to see some...

    the W Korea event should be a wake up call for fans

    the w korea event was so crazy and i remember not even hearing about it until a few months ago when i found out about it. It was sooo crazy for me to see these idols acting so idiotic and the lack of them donating or talking about the situation. In short, the W korea was an event made to raise...

    who else thinks kpop has become too competitive?

    Kpop moves so fast nowadays, i feel like most groups from smaller companies don't have a chance to succeed in this industry without the proper funds or connections, it's so unfair. i'm not saying every kpop group from a small company is relatively unsuccessful but why does it feel like the 2020s...

    misused kpop phrases?

    flop - this term is the holy grail of misused words in kpop. fans love to call songs flops if they don't chart #1, if they reach half a million youtube views, and if they sell less than a million copies. fans love to call groups flops if they have a consistent ring of songs to not chart #1...

    idols looked so differently back then

    ────﹒♡﹒──── idols looked so "natural" back then and looked like everyday people you'd see off the streets. for some context, i mean how idols back then had differencing visuals and weren't subject to the same plastic surgery standard? some groups even had "visual holes" or idols in groups that...

    Rumor domestic fame vs international fame

    The era of nationwide hits i find it interesting how much things have changed in kpop and i guess music in general. despite not being alive during the 90s and being a kid during the 2nd gen and 3rd gen of kpop, i still love listening to the classics. of course i enjoy learning about older kpop...

    Group tvxq and their vocals ✨

    Honestly, tvxq has been on my radar for so long now. i know these boys can sing and holy fucking shit yes the hell they can sing. This group can pull off acapella like it's no one's business and they sound so good together. i'm in love with jaejoong's honey and soft sounding vocals and junsu's...

    Sensitive Idols and their health

    any idol is in deep risk of becoming permanently paralyzed nowadays. idols have to go on continuous tours with little rest and are constantly forced to learn genuinely dangerous choreography that'll definitely harm them in the years ahead. I know kpop has had its fair share of hard dances but...

    Rumor believable kpop theories?

    #1 this theory has to do with sm cloning their idols have been an ongoing thing for decades. this stems from fans noticing how idols that emerge from SM resemble their past in some way. examples include hyunjin (m.i.l.k) taeyeon (snsd), irene (red velvet) and boa (soloist) resembling each other...

    Appreciation Explaining kpop generations

    i always found kpop to be very interesting with its generations. for those who are new to kpop, kpop operates on generations to signify when new sounds, trends and huge structural changes happen in the kpop scene. 1st generation (1996-1999) is the very first kpop generation. the group that...

    Rumor my honest take on HYBE

    HYBE isn't a kpop company and are a global music company. why? because they have global groups under their label, ones of which nobody asked for. I know technically katseye are kpop adjacent, but still, the fact that a regular pop group debuted under a KPOP label is already weird enough. Hybe...

    Rumor what's your genuine take on rich kids in the kpop industry?

    REALLY LONG POST... for me personally, rich idols aren't a problem for me. in fact i don't mind them being from rich or well off families, as long as they put in the hard work and are actually treated like trainees and not because of their family's wealth, and of course if they're highly...

    Rumor idols and luxury brands

    One of the things i've notified a lot in modern kpop is the staggering amount of luxury fashion brand deals that these rookie idols are being given. these are opportunities that shouldn't be given to rookie groups that barely have a discography, the south korean general public barely knows the...
