Your baby k-pop fan misconception? (3 Viewers)

[seoriverse]

the world of k-pop can be confusing with its many new terms & a new culture to learn from (if you aren't korean to start)
i thought nugu derived from the group gugudan and that either people made that insult up or it was a fan inside joke that became generalized

I thought a certain group was basically the only group that writes its own songs Admitting that feels embarrassing. But the fandom led me to believe that

As danjjak I am very disappointed

I thought when a song was recorded the entire song was sung as a group and if someone screwed up they had to redo the entire thing... When I saw a recording video of them doing the individual parts and realized it was all spliced together I nearly lost it...

yeah they all stand in one lil room. Imagine poor NCT and at 3:40 just before the end , a member fucks up, they need to redo it all again and that said member won't get dinner that night

Sad, but i thought they get paid right away after debut.

Won't lie, I nearly walked away from k-pop when I found out about trainee debt and children being under contract.

cute

This would not only be a kpop misconception, but music in general!

or paid at all

yeah, and it's also more frequent in small companies, not in big ones where there are rich kids training. Imagine hearing someone like JooE saying he didn't get paid yet, after their viral Boom Boom song and her numerous CFs

I did

 

[seungfloral]

or paid at all

yeah, esp if the group disbands before they can even repay the debt

I see you enjoy commenting on others misconceptions while not giving your own...

Do any of the big 3 have trainee debt? I didn’t think that did. And not all in the big 3 are that rich

ONLY MY OPPAR MAKES REAL MUSIC, THE OTHERS ARE PLAGIARIZING. That's how they sound
i don't fault you for thinking like that if that's all u hear from the fans

 

[Moguri]

I think I was pretty much wrong about everything relating to kpop, I'm not sure I can come up with a really specific one

But yeah mainly many of the negative aspects shocked me like trainee debt and the slave contracts.. or how some of the idols live in rotten houses with cockroaches and the company does not even bother to fix the toilette ...
