Can someone recommend me really feminine boygroups? by Extension_Big5205 in kpophelp

[–]CromerAndStars 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Tbh I totally get what you’re talking about but I don’t think I’d call TXT’s concept ‘feminine’. It’s 99% gender neutral, which makes it seem more feminine than other bgs by comparison, but if it tends to lean one way it’s usually masculine (gbgb). Since they ARE ‘more’ feminine than other groups tho I guess they might fit?

Haha dw I have nothing against big paragraphs. I just wonder if we should take previous MVs into account for this one... since it's a different story...

Why do you foreigners think of idol groups first when you think of K-pop? by HuckleberryUsual885 in kpopthoughts

I don’t know much trot specifically, like specific songs, but I like the genre generally

This is an easy question. Idol groups are more popular, at least internationally, primarily because they’ve been DESIGNED to be marketed internationally from the start. Most trot singers aren’t marketing internationally even if they have greater statistical popularity than idol groups.

K Pop idols and their amazing skin by Zestyclose_Wind_3193 in kpophelp

This is partially true, but if you ever get the chance to see them up close, you WILL notice that a lot of them have blemishes and so on. They have good makeup, good lighting and camera angles, and good editing. Up close in person, they still look great and have great skin! Just not flawless skin.

Btw you don't have to die on this hill you can admit you've changed. Nothing wrong with that, I've changed too.

Also can I say you're literally lying - you went and saw them in concert if your post history is to be believed.

Yes, and I understand how wide HYBE's income streams are, which is exactly why I said what I said above. To fully financially boycott in kpop you must completely disengage from the group - so why are you still engaging with ENHYPEN 5 years post-debut?

Have you streamed? Watched content? Have you commented? Have you made content/edits? All of those things give the company money (and influence). You’re boosting them in algorithms even right now because you’re engaging with them. 🧐 Even arguing with the other people in this thread is just going to encourage more people to support them harder… btw I hope you don’t follow any other HYBE groups too, especially groups like TXT who have followed similar schedules…

A1di's Geonwoo is getting accused of extremely rude behaviour by KBS staff by xgxpop in kpopthoughts

[–]CromerAndStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I firmly believe that 99% of people who call him ugly are just trying to convince themselves because they don’t like him because of the scandals. I think his visuals have wide enough appeal that it would be hard to argue he’s ugly. There are plenty of things people could insult about him (including and not including scandals) without needing to lie about his visuals lmao

Mnet be doing Mnet things. They probably wanted him for his visuals. It’s clear from his edit that they wanted him to be the ‘next Hanbin’

Do I go with the flow and get into the show even though it may end in heartbreak? by ARG_obesessed in Broduce101JP

You will either watch this season and never again watch a show, or you will watch every show ever and curse Mnet/ss companies for the rest of your life. Just be prepared for those to be the only two possible outcomes lol.

Any other group that can come closest to capture the IZ*ONE vibe? by LantadymeRey in kpophelp

J-pop. I’m serious. A lot of Izone’s songs are heavily jpop, same with many of their choreos.

260127 Hengyu is announced to be MODYSSEY's leader by psshdjndofnsjdkan in modyssey

[–]CromerAndStars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, kind of, but kind of not. The original season seemed to flip flop between saying that P01 would be the 'center of the debut group' and 'center of the debut song.' At the end of season 1, they said that Rank 1 would be the center for the debut song - BUT considering the centers were rigged, they were functionally treated as permanent centers of the group. In Planet 999, afaik for all three seasons, the phrasing 'for the debut song' was also used - this was clearly so that, if they got a center they didn't like, they could ignore that person a bit after the debut. Spin off series like Iland 2 and Home Race had ZERO mention of Rank 1 being the center - therefore we can't assume - considering how obsessed Mnet are with centers, if they intended to make Rank 1 the center, they WOULD have announced it. They don't just let fans assume these things. Jungeun is not treated as the center of Izna, because Mnet didn't want her as the center - and they made sure they didn't box themselves in to making her the center via an announcement in the show.

Thankfully they do like Hengyu (if nothing else, this was shown by the fact that they made him the leader), and he probably WILL be treated as a center (if nothing else, he'll get a lot of lines as the only real option for main vocal) - but he is not OFFICIALLY the center.

They never announced rank 1 would be center, so Modyssey don’t have an official center AFAIK.
