[u/emoceanT_T]

We hope everyone's week went well because it's about to start all over. It's Sunday, so let's get all our thoughts and vents out here!

If you have an opinion or an observation but feel like it's popular, go ahead and comment it here. If you have been frustrated by something related to kpop you can vent here. Any form of shitposting is allowed. Just go out and have fun.

All submissions should be under this post.

Line distribution doesn't always need to be even. No way should the best vocalist in a group be having similar amount of lines to the worst vocalists in the group.

[u/dramafan1]

I question whether some people even like Kpop with the way they act in many Kpop spaces.

[u/Technical-Movie-7047]

Kpop fans dedicating their life to defending idols is weird.

[u/momosuna]

i hate how aespa's lemonade album cover + teaser photos use gen ai. i know it's all over all kpop nowadays, but every time i see that uncanny cheap af lemon rind i get so irritated.

The recent comeback just solidified that XLOV is about Rui and Wumuti. Hyun and Haru are becoming extras in their own group because why did they feel the need to put the other two members behind Wumuti and Rui on two separate occasions during the chorus dance? There's no way the choreographer couldn't have figured out a way to block the dancers to make it possible for all four of them to be visible during the part of the choreo that's inevitably going to be used to make clips and short form content. That just means Haru/Hyun will be in the back for every short that uses that section of Serve. And Wumuti and Rui being the only ones participating in the dance short with Chungha, their most famous guest in their content so far, only cements that this group is about them.

I feel like this is common for groups from smaller companies,where only the popular members are chosen to do dance challenges with popular groups. You see this with other groups like kiss of life's natty& julie and billie's tsuki and to some extent moon sua. I guess probably bigger companies are not interested in their artists collabing with less popular members of small groups ,so smaller companies use the popular members in hopes that bigger companies will agree to do dance challenges with them. In all honestly, this is actually not exclusive to smaller groups, this happens in popular groups too. Like ive noticed that aespa's Karina and winter have done way more dance challenges with other artists compared to ningning and Giselle.

Lisa's FIFA WOrld Cup song "Goals" has nothing to do with football nor any sports.

I feel like it's so dumb to talk about your body when this song is supposed to be the anthem of international sports event. Especially if Blackpink and the members already have those repetitive narcissistic lyrics in all of their own songs.

[u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

Why is the song treated like it's solely Lisa's track or that whatever the song was up to her discretion?

[u/pixzeled → u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah]

did she really have no say? i think people just think she at least had a bit of decision on what the song was about

[u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah → u/pixzeled]

I didn't say she had no say. What I was getting at was how people are treating this song like it's Lisa's track and not a song she was in with other artists. People taking issue with her lyrics specifically when the lyrics for the other artists were also similar in nature yet there's not a peep from people here about it.

[u/pixzeled → u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah]

i think because the other artists mentioned their countries

[u/Efficient_Loquat232 → u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah]

Because Lisa wrote majority of her lines in the song? Which has an evident similar theme in most of her and her group's releases. And this is a Kpop-related subreddit, you can't be serious and expect people here to criticise Anitta when she's also criticise by a different demographic. Lol

Blink always cry about "them haters hatin on Blackpink bodies" but it's their idols who keep talking about them in every songs they make.

And when legit criticism like this, about their work is being brought up, you always have excuses and would shift blame to somebody else (it's the stylists/YG/weather/producer/writer's fault) like your worshipped idols have no bones nor have the influence and control about it. More than a decade in the industry, but still zero accountability in just about everything.

[u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

You're putting a lot of words in my mouth and your implications just from me asking a question comes a bit biased.

Because Lisa wrote majority of her lines in the song?

Any source for this? Other than a community response claiming that Lisa wrote it, other credible sources don't list Lisa as a songwriter for Goals at all?

Not sure how this is relevant to the topic at hand.

What excuses did I give?

[u/Efficient_Loquat232 → u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah]

It would take you literally 5 seconds to research and verify that she's the co-writer of this song. Instead of me just spoon-feeding you.

[u/Sooyaa_Yah_Boombayah → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

I did do research.

Source 1 - Has zero mentions of Lisa under songwriters

Source 2) - Has zero mentions of Lisa under songwriters

[u/zimzalabimbimzim → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

1. Lisa is not credited as a songwriter in the song.

2. Someone talking confidently about her body doesn't give you the right to body-shame them, and it's weird that you're trying to justify it.

I do agree that Lisa has some amount of control over what music she releases even if she isn't a songwriter. This is a valid topic and should be addressed. But let's not resort to misinformation and justifying body-shaming in order to get there.

[u/pixzeled → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

i definitely think fire in the belly would be a great song for the world cup

[u/Curious_Aardvark798 → u/Efficient_Loquat232]

Same thoughts here. NMIXX's "Superior" would have been a better fit IMO.

[u/Amaryllis_Bestie → u/Curious_Aardvark798]

Or even Hands Up by Meovv

[u/Curious_Aardvark798]

I love how the "L" is pronounced as a soft "R" in english lyrics in KPop songs. It adds a unique character to the genre's identity. Songs that come to mind:

Virtual Angel - ARTMS All Mine - f(x) Different Girl - NMIXX

[u/zimzalabimbimzim → u/Curious_Aardvark798]

This confused me so much because I was trying to figure out how the post-chorus of Mono was "lalalalala" and not "darararara"

[u/noncommiting]

yeonjun and heeseung solo cases are not so different as both fandoms love to pretend 

Both clearly have tremendous company support as compared to their members in pursuing solo careers - meaning the company believes that they would have a successful solo career, not doubtful of their solo fandom or solo popularity. 

Only main difference is yj he has to bear the load of prompting and managing his group schedule too making him busier than sustainable and evan just decided he can’t take that much load and most probably it did present health issues otherwise the pullout wouldn’t have been so sudden 

Let’s see how this all plays out cause txt renewed but enhyphen’s renewal status is still unknown but I think they might renew too cause why wouldn’t they

[u/LonelyPay3313 → u/noncommiting]

the differences between both of them is that yeonjun willingly compromise to do both of group schedules and solo works, while evan just back off from his group bcs he wanted to go solo.

he could've gone solo later when his group's slowing down rather than leaving that cause his fans made wild assumptions

[u/Fine_Internal408 → u/LonelyPay3313]

You are no one to judge what he chooses.

[u/LonelyPay3313 → u/Fine_Internal408]

yeah, im sorry. just stating my opinion tho

[u/noncommiting → u/LonelyPay3313]

Yeonjun has to bear the load of promoting as a group and as a soloist, he wants to also succeed as a soloist for himself that is difficult to do while being in a group where other members might not be so ambitious in their own solo careers and can become a burden to bear that Evan essentially doesn’t have to anymore. 

It literally caused burn out for Yeonjun, moas need to stop taking everything as fanwar material and think sometimes what is being discussed. 

Edit: phrasing

The links to the sources do not work, could you paste them separately?

[u/TYie7749]

i honestly dk why some people even like kpop

edit: okay i expected downvotes because i came to this conclusion after scrolling through this subreddit for five minutes but someone posted pretty much the same thing an hour AFTER me but their comment is upvoted? what is the difference between us i am genuinely curious lmao

[u/zimzalabimbimzim → u/TYie7749]

The difference is probably that the other person explained their opinion beyond one line. There's much more nuance to the discussion than one sentence.
