i used to be a H U G E kpoppie back in late junior high early high school but ever since it's taken off in the west there's been a huge quality drop and i just can't really get into new stuff anymore

 

even my ride or die group loona flopped with & (although hula hoop and starseed made up for that)

 

but yeah my stan list is:

• boa (my ult bias)
• loona (my ult group)
• red velvet
• twice
• f(x)
• snsd
• ladies code
• wonder girls
• shinee
• iu
• yukika

there's others i like ok but those are my main group

Same, I was really into k-pop when I was like (13?) 14-20, but then my interest just dropped once I learned more about the industry, and especially when 2NE1 got disbanded in such an ugly way. And then even more when Bigbang’s Seungri got into a horrible scandal and eventually sent to prison. And the amount of groups and idols being presented to the market every year... it’s just too much to keep up with, at least for me.

I’m glad it’s become more popular the past few years, because everyone thought I was crazy for listening to k-pop (and j-pop) and there truly are some talented artists out there that deserves more recognition. But the way youngsters stan these days is a bit different from when I was into k-pop, and it’s just so obsessive at times lol. Maybe I’m just older and over it all. Not even BlackPink interests me much anymore.

I'm so confused that we still don't have a CL thread yet.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen one, though it’s barely updated. Her Alpha album is great! I wish I could find a store to order the vinyl. (I can get the CDs from Fnac France if I manage to get a summer job to earn some money.)

of definitely, especially with the huge groups like blackpink and bts. i think rv has also kinda fallen off. their releases arent utter crap, but they're just underwhelming. bad boy was the last cb that really wowed me. even my ult bias (now ex) group, seventeen, has kinda gotten boring musically lately as well.

i also stan these groups/people!! it was so great to see boa in step back, even if the lyrics are shite  she slayed

i love stayc though, i really think they're gonna be the next big thing. their production is so clean and the girls themselves are talented. i've also finally gotten into twice despite being a kpop fan since late 2014. i've really fallen in love with them (peep the icon). taste of love and formula of love were my fave eps & albums of 2021. im so sad they're apparently not as big as they once were.

gonna be honest a lot of kpop's best releases lately have been the japanese ones which is odd cause usually the japanese releases are bad (unless you're boa or snsd in which case they've always been good)

 

perfect world might be the best thing twice has ever made

realized this was never posted

 

[the ocean 67,601]

is there a j-pop thread

[the ocean 67,601]

i don't feel like making a separate thread for her cause i'm certain it would flop so i'm just gonna do this here

 

stan the queen everybody

this week has been so messy for us... 

[genghis khan 5,107]

Extremely random post. But I'm pretty sure, if you listen closely, this sound bit here

[dollanganger 5,105]

im sure superkind is a fine group but imagine training your ass off for years and finally debuting but the robot in your group is more popular than you. apparently he even gets more lines than the actual members. i would cry

[genghis khan 5,107]

 

so good

i'm OBSESSED with this 

 

[dollanganger 5,105]

newjeans song is good but it immediately creeped me out that the maknae is my little sister's age... that girl JUST turned 14 and does not need a full time job especially as an idol

 

+ controversy over maknaes' ages has been a thing lately (ive, class:y etc) so i looked at some rookie groups today and the youngest boys are 17-20. the girls are 14-15.. im worried for them

[dollanganger 5,105]

its time 

 

 

[dollanganger 5,105]

found this cool especially since i already have a big interest in lost media. im really hoping some of these get found. i know red velvet's ko ko bop has got to be amazing
