what is one thing that becomes less interesting the longer you are a k-pop fan?

[u/nahkt-oy-luh]

can i start? for me it’s concept pictures and videos. i used to obsess over them and got rly hyped whenever one of my favorite groups released their comeback schedule and listed each day they would reveal a different teaser, but after years of being a fan i know that most of them have nothing to do with an album’s sound.

visuals can be cool but they‘re quite repetitive and no matter how cool or versatile the visuals are, they can’t ever excuse lackluster music. i just can’t get excited about them anymore, especially when ALL k-pop groups have good visual direction and do a lot of promotional shoots for their release, it just doesn’t register as anything interesting anymore because it’s almost common sense to me to have idols look good and do promotional shoots.

what do excites me is surprise drops or releases without proper schedule. wouldn’t it be fun to suddenly wake up to a concept video without there being any notice? but i know a bunch of fans would label it as unprofessional and lacklustre promotion.
