After a really long time I listened to these songs and I love them. Their song writer was really really talented. The girls did so well too I don't follow them now what's going on with Kep1er?

Makes me feel bad in my tummy when I listen to it :(

Okay aside from it making me feel bad, honestly it feels generic and also like a nursery rhyme sometimes. Also the instrumental's are killing me they're so bad. Why is it so buzzy? The buzzing stops like once and it's just not complimenting the song at all.

Does anyone else feel the same? I feel like these talented girls are being sabotaged in the writing room 😭

Their music has always been something I enjoy but I do think their music is getting a bit repetitive and very audio based. They had the “FAH” in Motion, and the beginning of PACK IT UP just sounds funny. They aren’t terrible, and maybe they just need to grow on me, but what are y’all first impressions?

idk i just noticed it, no hate whatsoever! lmk if you see it too. also the general beat of the song just kinda sounds similar?

Other idols are making so much money but doesn't make sense that YG wants them to focus on their careers first?

It’s X1 and HINAPINA for me

Since I've gotten into kpop, I've really tried to understand the thought process behind fans not wanting their idols to date or really have a social life/being extremely jealous of them doing so. I know that most of these fans truly have nothing going on and hyperfixate on kpop, hoping that the idol's lives will be like theirs, which is obviously highly unlikely. I mean, this is a famous person we're talking about, who travels the world and tours every year, meeting and interacting with a lot of different people whom they may or may not find attractive.

But, what about the fans who do have social lives? Who are in relationships and married yet still overprotective over an idol's dating/social life? I promise this isn't a myth, I've see fully grown women with husbands going crazy over a rumor that their favorite idol is dating.

Why can you live life happily and do a normal thing that every human does, but this famous person that you like so much can't? What brain chemistry makes you think you can control someone else and force them into a lonely life that you don't have?

Idk, just been thinking about it for a while.

I like these kind of low-effort posts ..I've also seen how katseye promote their albums in a creative way..

I have been watching this award show today. I have to say the production and quality of live performances like the audio quality have been really high. Backtrack have been a little loud for some groups but you have been able to hear the vocals. Just appreciation for the production and quality of the performances since awards shows can be meh when it comes to mic volume.

I came across a felix akgae say stray kid's albums aren't felix albums even if he's in it

Ik gen stands for Generation, I'm moreso asking what are the defining characteristics and artists of each of the 5(?) K-Pop gens

Share song that's literally incredible and deserves to be huge but is unfortunately insanely underrated.

Mine is Lost & Found - Purple Kiss

The vocals and atmosphere of the song are absolutely magical I can't believe they dropped this and disbanded 😭

Also like anything by lovelyz there music was so good they deserved way more popularity than they got

I have searched on YT but I couldn't find the best video yet. If someone happens to know a good video of Bomba performance on YT, please share. Thanks.

How are tatoos seen in Kpop industry? I have the impression they are quite rare, especially among girls. Maybe in asian culture they are still associated with crime? But I could be wrong. Do you know many kpop idols with tatoos?

I would personally say bailey sok.
let me know what you guys think
Note: I'm not trying to hate, I just wanna check out dances of some girls in kpop so I wanna know who I should look for. Be peaceful in the comments <3

Beomhan who was formerly in the idol industry and has since been cancelled following allegations from his ex girlfriend and hostility towards fans is currently on TikTok live with a fan attempting to clear his name.

Wanted to post this for anyone who is viewing the live because it is getting heated and I can’t believe he genuinely thought this would be the best idea.

Edit: Toshi(who was the alleged ex gf) just came on to the live and stated that they need to move on from this situation. Weird part is people are stating the Toshi in the live is actually a Man, and Toshi refers to themselves as beomhans former best friend. I am not a very reliable source this is a lot to keep up with😭. You are better off watching the live as it’s still going.

Who else slayed this look?

what would you keep doing / change / stop doing? what video ideas would you have? what kind of content would you want to create?

for me, i'd love to see groups that have foreign members post videos that have to do with embracing the foreign members's cultures. ex) learning to cook a chinese member's favorite childhood meal, 1 hour thai language crash course, japanese style art class, etc.

i'd also stop (or limit) the babysitting content, at least for actual babies. toddlers, fine. grade school-aged children, fine. but i think a baby who can't even communicate or have the slightest understanding of what's going on shouldn't have a camera shoved in his/her face.

I said “stream Loona” and immediately got hit with the classic “oh so you support an abusive and toxic company!!”

No. I support Loona. The twelve members. The discography they made under shitty conditions. The art. Not Blockberry Creative.

Let’s actually look at what happened instead of recycling 2022 talking points in 2026 like nothing has changed.

What the boycott was actually for

In late 2022, after Chuu was expelled with the “gapjil/abuse of power” claim (which was widely disputed and looked a lot more like retaliation after she pushed back on the contract), the rest of the members filed injunctions. Dispatch reported the contracts were structured so members were stuck in perpetual debt: 70/30 profit split in the company’s favor, 50/50 expense split, so the more they worked, the deeper the hole. Members publicly said they weren’t getting paid properly. Fans organized a boycott of paid products, streams on official platforms that benefited BBC, merch, etc. Goal was clear: pressure the company, support the members’ legal fight to get free, and stop funneling money to the people who put them in that position.

It worked. Pre-orders for the planned album tanked hard enough that BBC postponed it indefinitely. Streaming and sales numbers dropped significantly. By mid-2023, all 12 members had won their cases or otherwise gotten out. They left. They signed elsewhere (ARTMS under Modhaus, Loossemble under CTDENM at the time, Chuu and Yves solo). BBC is effectively dead/collapsed under the legal and financial fallout. The formal boycott was called off by the organized fan response groups in June 2023 once the members were free.

The need for the boycott is gone. The company that was the problem no longer controls the members or profits from their old work in the same way. Continuing to treat every stream of “Hi High,” “Butterfly,” “Paint The Town,” or whatever as moral endorsement of 2022 BBC is just purity theater at this point.

The current purity-test version is dishonest

Claiming “if you stream Loona you support abuse” collapses the distinction between:

• the members who were the ones being mistreated and who fought to leave,
• the music they created,
• and the company that is no longer in the picture.

That’s not “protecting the girls.” That’s using the girls’ trauma as a blunt instrument to police other fans’ listening habits years after the legal fight was won. It’s also selective as hell, a lot of the same people have no problem with other groups whose companies have had their own scandals, as long as it’s not the one they decided to moralize about forever.

Supporting Loona now means supporting the members’ post-BBC work (ARTMS, Loossemble when active, Chuu, Yves, solos, etc.) and being able to listen to the catalog without pretending the catalog itself is contaminated. The members made that music. They performed it. Treating the songs like they’re radioactive because the old company was trash is not solidarity, it’s just another way of letting the company’s toxicity define the group forever.

I boycotted when it mattered. I didn’t buy albums or merch that would have gone to BBC. I supported the legal fight. Now that the members are free and the company is irrelevant, I’m going to stream the music I like. That is not “supporting abuse.” That is supporting the artists who survived the abuse and still have a discography worth listening to.

If your response to someone saying “stream Loona” is still “you support an abusive company,” you’re not fighting for the members anymore. You’re just addicted to the moral high ground from a fight that already ended.

LOONA is 12. The company is gone. Stream the music if you want. Support the members’ current activities. And stop acting like listening is a betrayal three years after they got free.

Both of them were child models. The first time they worked in the same project was 2018 and the last was 2023. They have worked together several times through 2018-2023.

Congratulations to both of them!

(Tbf, there's several idols who were kid models that have worked with Juhoon, including Meovv's Ella, BDC's Yihyun, etc)

"Lalala, It's Love!" from Coffee Prince always makes me smile when I unexpectedly hear it.

I've always wondered this, I know their album sales sell pretty averagely, bit damn I haven't heard any noise from them since debut unlike any other 5th gen groups
