Are there any groups you don't stan, but you're oddly fond of all the same? (1 Viewer)

Like you want them to do well and you'll check out the releases, but nothing ever rises above "that was fine" for you.

For me, it's Candy Shop, Brave Entertainment's this gen Brave Girls. Brave Girls deserved better and had some bops when their company remembered they existed, so I'm hoping better for Candy Shop.

Kiss of Life has entered that territory for me. Haven't liked anything from them in a long while.

 

[TrinityJade]

Aespa recently
I was scared to get into them because they're so controversial but behind the scenes they're so sweet!

Seventeen
I really really like them and respect them. I also like a lot of their music.
I just havent biased them
I have only seen their variety stuff as clips and memes and they always make me feel good. I dont know, i just never have gotten urge to look into them more than that.

Craxy after 'Nugudom'.

Big ocean but I think im starting to Stan em

 

[Ahsoka]

There’s definitely groups I don’t Stan but am fond of, but they all have plenty of songs that I love. Onewe might be the closest for me, but I still love a few of their songs

 

[snsd2beg]

Any of the newer groups I like (Big Ocean, NMIXX, AtHeart, etc.) I dislike the K-Pop fan community outside of places like this and I do not have any interest in stanning new groups.

 

[BlingyBlinger]

I know not quite kpop but XG? They have a special place in my heart for sure

 

[Onigiri]

Stayc. LOVE their music but I never fully stanned

 

[gone4good]

hmmm.... Twice?
Never stanned them but always admired them for being Iconic <3

Kpop doesnt need other fans. Just their money. KPS is enough.

I officially stan only who is in my sig currently; i seem to limit time/headspace/heart~feels(?) 🙃😕😪😔😐 tho I like a lot kpop artists/acts casually/more-than-a-little(it's similar to western/non-kpop musical artists - over the years, only [stanned] Suzanne Vega, R.E.M, Tori Amos, Nirvana(In Utero era, tho ofc I heard/watched 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' but not being a teen then; I dint vibe as much as I did to the later "In Utero" and the unplugged era); Rachael Yamagata & Vienna Teng, tho casually or momentarily<or longer> intensely others but not lastingly: Dinosaur Jr, Matthew Sweet, Blind Melon, Juliana Hatfield n others too numerous to rmbr rn; when i listen to most of aforementioned i dont get the same feels as before or for tat matter from new kpop i love/like/stan, huh?)

In kpop/k-music: NELL, N.Flying & Onewe r almost in my stan list, but just below cos time/intensity of my liking 'em/limited head~heart space preclude them(they write/compose/play own instruments n r closest to western artists/acts above=all-time faves but kpop/hallyu spoiled/ruined me - 360°/4 quadrant~stan-ttraction factor in kpop >>>> musical intensity/focus (NELL, N.Flying & Onewe time spent on creativity/music >>>> virality/memes or other stan-ttracting activities which I think is right but means I don't stan 'em, n I think makes 'em under the radar(in some ways)/less popular/prominent than their music/creativity warrant) end of lecture/rant/admission of superficiality somewhat in myself[or after editing para 1: it's more iv changed my tastes/preferences/wants from music/artists]

 

[HyuneSuga]

Dreamcatcher, CORTIS, Seventeen, The BOYZ, RIIZE,



I mean to be fair I only stan stray kids, bts and ateez ..

 

[RandAlThor]

Well to be fair many many 2nd gen are in that area.
IY1 and all the other show connected me to them but SNSD has my heart and cash.

3rd gen i stanned most of those that got to that area. except the super short runs like IoI and pristin for example.
Aespa 4th gen i guess, i like them but not much of the music. StayC i am super close i have all the albums.
The Iz*one derivatives i tend to stan level the soloist and follow the groups (except Say my Name gets different treatment.)
H2H i am getting close to stan level.

 

[Somnia]

I secretly like BTS. I fell off liking them many years ago, but some solo songs (J hope, Jin) are where I just get addicted to it and would play it on repeat. I also really like their new recent song. No idea what the title is lol but they played it on the radio here and I liked it.

BP is another group which I stopped liking pretty much a year after their debut, but then they released a song like Jump, and now I secretly hope to hear more like that altho I do not follow them and really am only fond of Jisoo.

H2H i am getting close to stan level.

Yay, at least u like aespa members....yeah the music ain't to every one's taste-i blame think responsibility is on LSM/Kwangya/ævatar whole thingies.

H2H I rlly like most of the songs iv heard/catchiness-is-there[SM trademark] but I just don't know all the members/their personalities/charms/identities unlike aespa/RV/fx/SNSD(who all seemed distinct from debut or early on[at least to me] Carmen, ian, jiwoo, yuha, Stella, a-na, yeon n I can't think of the other/8th member seem nebulous/indistinct from each other/other idols rn {at least to me, n I'm not motivated to consume their content to learn more/no H2H who r they youtube vids in my fyp, unlike early on for like eg. Everglow or gfriend I suppose. [might be oversaturation of 4th/5th gen kpop gg rn. Im overloaded -izna, kiiikiii, meovv n others(other co.s catching up to SMEnt!!!)

Oddly i liked black mamba and next level they were fun. Savage was where it went sideways. And i am plain annoyed that i still cant get black mamba or next level on an album. f(x) and snsd had repacs with all the early hits on em. i t think the semi girl crush is ok for em but they are better suited to a more f(x) or girly style. They have good vocals but seem wasted in noise music. pretty much my same issue with the NCT verse.

H2h i actually have far less trouble keeping straight than say Say my name. The variety feels more fun, that may be because its most often with sm artists who i already know.
