Is there anything you are picky about in the kpop industry? (1 Viewer)

Outfits, hairstyles, just things that don't matter AS much?

I really am picky about graphic design when it comes to the teasers for comebacks or debuts, something that can ruin some of the hype for me is a badly made teaser. And it's not a matter of budget either, because I've seen companies like Dreamcatcher's who is on the smaller side have amazing graphic design and SM or YG having really questionable graphic design

new groups. I like many but I love a few.

 

[RandAlThor]

like this?

although it does bring up thought of stage magic and the hoops...

yeah it's easily one of the laziest album covers i've ever seen especially if you see the effort put into the album covers for other SM artists
speaking of that the new NCT 127 cover...not a fan

 

[Villains]

album covers better be looking good

 

[RandAlThor]

Albums with few songs.

i will never respect Yg or yg artists like bb , bp because of the 1,2 song albums.

Its a horrid way to treat fans. if it were some struggling group that could barely afford song production of all the related cost for each song then maybe its understandable , but i usually think long and hard before i buy the 3 song minis.
For example it took me 4-6 years to buy the itnw mini and then i only did it as a collector.


Actually album size has been a hot button issue my whole life. 8 song full albums were the og culprit especially 8 short songs.

you have a some 8-15 min songs per side then its a bit different.

Makeup

Kang Daniel's stylist seems to own only one palette of eyeshadow and it pains me

In house survival programs to form groups i refuse to even listen to the songs. And it poison's my thought of the company as a whole.

You wanna make a groups pick your kids and go with it.

do not depend on the adopt a puppy mentality of a kpop survival show.

i can deal with a produce type deal but wholly in house never.

yeah i really don't like buying eps or single albums, i intend to buy treasure's full album because it's basically just their first three single albums plus 3 or 4 new songs so what is the point of the first three singles? I don't like that way of doing it at all

 

[eclipsoul]

if the song descriptions match the actual song. brokeberry blockberry creative simply lied to me releasing the hula hoop city pop version. it is literally NOT city pop at all

I unstanned the only kpop group I ever stanned due to a musical sound change; so I'd say I'm picky about music.

So true.. I mean Momoland has a smaller budget and Fun to the World was still able to churn out 4 songs+1 instrumental.

 

[Kamistar]

Album packages for sure

 

[raymondchouku]

I really don't like themes in the music that don't revolve around human archetypes. Fun; love; fear; and many other emotions are prevelent in all music including k-pop. These are general human experiences. What I don't like is when we move into a whole song being predicated on what a bad bitch one is or how x group is better than the rest... I find it very boring.

 

[Hoemantic]

I'm picky but I can't tell for what exactly. I have a hard time fully stanning groups if the members and the music don't click with me.

 

[raymondchouku]

So true! Especially when some can look like a cardboard box with a photobook inside and a small slit for the disc to fit into.

Or a tiny magazine like EXO's Don't Fight the Feeling expansion version

I love exo, but... there are some things I refuse to buy.

 

[Wingfrost]

Yes, I can’t think of anything right now (because it’s 2 am and my brain is fried) but there are definitely times where i see something and I just-

 

[Abeamus]

Definitely who I stan
