They just look like cornballs to me. I like Jpop better than kpop.

Edit: Also word on the street is the Korean music industry is like 80 times worse than the American one. And ours is already trash. There are Korean doc students in my program who laugh and say that those boy bands are broke behind the scenes and treated like slaves. Said several pop stars have died from exhaustion.
:picard:
i only listen to 90s j pop so i feel you lol

it’s definitely true it’s a lot worse. a few stars have killed themselves from pressure in the last few yeats

That’s insane to me. Music industry is fukking demonic! The idea that you can put all that work in and have to split profits with 40 bandmate and die DIE in front of billions of fans. It’s so surreal to me.
Imma really need to pitch that Netflix limited series expose on the music industry. Imma call it “Voices in the Dark” or some shyt like that.:russ:

Where are the Asians, who have pride and dignity for their culture? They don't speak up on these lost, white-washed c00ns? :scust:

Got dudes actively shaming their appearance to the masses, chasin white acceptance...:mjlol:

Look like some damn fools...:hhh:

The most annoying ppl on twitter and I don't even be on twitter like that. I'll have a friend text me a viral tweet then I scroll the comments and see a bunch of unrelated random kpop gifs.


THIS!!! I immediately block their asses. It’s so annoying

The Traps of Unified Korea
Top BTS songs:










They really should have done a video for Jungkook's solo song on their last album. Was maybe the best song on it.



Unlike idol groups, they're (mostly one of the members, the leader RM) is credited with a lot of the songwriting on their records and co-production with like 2-3 core in house producers.

Their story is actually interesting as they're from a tiny label that had no real success, and became the biggest act in Korea and eventually now one of the biggest in the world. There's no precedent for what they did over there. This is a system where "indie" doesn't really exist, and acts not from the big three mega labels usually fail within two years. Their label couldn't really afford the production that other acts get but they were able to make that up with their own songwriting which is wild in that arena.

Also, BTS donated $1m to BLM, and their fans were largely responsible for the campaign against Trump's Tulsa rally that fukked the event up. Trump's team thought it was going to be a huge success because of the sheer volume and ingenuity BTS' (and K-pop fans as a whole but they're the most popular) fans showed in duping their system with fake applications.

Oh and the BTS fans MATCHED their BLM donation via crowdsourcing :dwillhuh: to show their devotion to BTS and their causes

There story in kpop and the number plus willingness of their fans is a bizzare and interesting spectacle. One of the things I stumbled across in quarantine and just kept reading and learning more about it.

The K-pop industry is more like athletics than our music industry and it's wild. A very, very statistics based industry. Even down to all the song countdown shows and how seriously they monitor songs win/loss records in regards to the legacy of these groups.

Like, music fans all now "Boy With Love" by BTS has 21 wins the same way that all sports fans know Barry Bonds hit 73 home runs.

And fans that make detailed analytical videos with amazing chart and graph systems that measure how many lines people got on songs and their screentime/time as focal point in music videos. Crazy

A super interesting thing. There's this thing every year called the Idol Athletic Championship where all the groups compete against each other in sports. But like, they take it very seriously and all these kids seem to have experience in Olympic sports.





Being high as fukk learning about all this shyt was one mind blowing weird turn after another :dwillhuh:

Can you imagine SZA and Taylor Swifr going at it in a highly competitive and legit fencing match, meanwhile Ariana and Cardi B having the archery competition of the ages. And oh shyt the dude from One Direction just did a perfect judo throw on Pleasure P :gucci:

They apparently had a lot of Michael Jackson references in this song and he went viral on twitter from it. They are huge MJ fans from I heard.

TBH I think Kpop sucks . The music is super generic
