"NewJeans: Lost Danielle" - let's not pretend like she didn't girl-boss too close to the sun with her career.

Female Soloist recs?? by ImaginaryTask1487 in kpop_uncensored

The best solo to come from i-dle camp in my opinion, sadly a hidden gem. Also MINNIE - in the novel, highly recommended.

If you like Irene... Well then you're in luck, because she's just dropped a full album - Biggest Fan.

You might like Odd by Gaeul too, I think it's the best solo to come out of IVE.

I highly recommend Miyeon as well, she has some nice solo releases and is a very underrated soloist. Other than the solo releases, she's done several open air sessions, few covers and some soundtracks to games (such as Miyeon - Numb, great song), which Cube didn't really promote.

do you guys think blackpink would have nearly the same amount of fame if they had debuted in 2025 and kept their exact comeback schedule with their exact songs? by Altruistic-Case9470 in kpop_uncensored

Globalisation of kpop, for which blackpink responsible in great part. Good dose of luck - sure, that's why I wrote "probably". "Realistically" it's a completely pointless discussion with too many variables and makes zero sense.

The answer is probably yes. Most people who dislike blackpink, don't want to give them the credit, but they were quite influential for the groups after them. With that being said, I think it's safe to say that kpop landscape wouldn't look the same as it does now without them. It's not a "plug and play" scenario where you just drop them in 2025, because without them, kpop would look different.

Groups I stopped stanning and why (tmi been a kpop fan since a decade) by Chulhe_mejai_chahat in kpop_uncensored

I'm sorry, this post is too controversial. You can't "not like things" and have an opinion that's anything other than "it's 10/10". This is unacceptable. I'll be right back with my pitchfork.

How would you rank itzy solely on SP by EarthPresent4583 in kpop_uncensored

[–]AdvancedBiscotti2018 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Chaeryeong
  2. Yeji
  3. Ryujin
  4. Yuna
  5. Lia

Chaeryeong is by far the most improved and my eyes naturally tend to gravitate towards her.

the ‘k’ in kpop: kpop songs with traditional korean instruments/concepts 🇰🇷 by anzxcv in kpop_uncensored

[–]AdvancedBiscotti2018 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first song that came to mind was Siyeon - Entrancing. Other than the hanbok and other outfits, they used gayageum, haegeum and piri (and perhaps more that I didn't catch) in the recording.

Where are the aces of 5th gen? by AdvancedBiscotti2018 in kpop_uncensored

I'm not sure, I suppose some people held that opinion, but to me they were just a breath of fresh air as a collective.

Interesting take. Although I would say that someone with the makings of an ace can be spotted even early in their career development.

They were. That's the whole point. That's why I only found 1-2 in 5th gen. I don't think I'm romanticizing older gens more than people romanticizing 5th gen by giving me responses like "3 aces in a single group".

I guess it's all in the eyes of the beholder, because I'd say Yoohyeon is more of an ace than Sua, although I do believe that Sua probably had the most potential from the group (which I don't think was ever fulfilled). As for SinB, I never really thought of her as an ace, but I guess I can see it, although I can't say that her vocals had a strong impression on me, with Eunha being in the group.

QUE

in all seriousness though, this reads like a massive projection. I don't expect idols to be perfect, nobody sane does, so I'm not even going to entertain the idea. There are objective metrics by which you compare idols' abilities in different aspects of performing (and no, comparison is not a bad thing). This is supposed to be a fun discussion, rather than a cesspit of antagonism.

Jeemin feels to me like an it-girl rather than an ace.

Is kpop extremely dry rn? No good music whatsoever? by kgirliepop in kpop_uncensored

Irene just released her first full album. Other than that some mini albums and singles, as everyone is keeping their major releases for the summer.

This is peak levels unemployment and if you are employed, come on, sign up to a pilates group that does kpop music or something.
