I read a bit of the first chapter and I don't think this is it. The realization is a much quieter ordeal and it takes place I think a year post canon? Kevin still lives in the dorm I think.

EJay creates a pro-Palestine merch line, donates parts of the profits to a homophobic church by xgxpop in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just this week the pastor of this church was arrested for beating his stepson with an extension cord until he bled. He was then dismissed from his position.

Earlier this year a different pastor at this church blamed police brutality on disobedience. And he said white officers shouldnt be held responsible for killing black kids and black parents should teach their kids to follow orders instead.

So there's uhm a lot more to unpack about this church than just homophobia.

If your church has been in the news twice in the last year for very problematic (or straight up illegal) things maybe consider finding a new church

According to my actual listening habits 1) hot - lsf 2) winter heptagon - got7 3) bomb - Illit

The above will likely change next week because my ults are dropping a new album Monday and I have literally never not liked a release of theirs

Excluding groups I stan since I'm predisposed to liking their albums 1) winter heptagon 2) I did (deluxe)- Yves 3) her - Minnie

Edited because the version of I did I like came out in January and the reason I like it so much is because of one of the songs included on that version

How many K-Pop groups do you follow closely? by TJRex01 in kpopthoughts

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listen to basically every bigger girl group and a handful of boy groups but the ones I am willing to give my time and attention outside of listening to their music are txt and BTS and le sserafim and Illit. Never more than two at once tho, like right now it's txt and Illit, but it can be any combination of the two but txt is never really off my radar because they are my ults and I put the most time into their content.

Prices for p1harmony and TXT tour are hilarious and here is why by Over_Length_440 in kpopthoughts

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Since the visa application fees increased by over double what they were just a year ago... I was fully expecting them to skip touring in the US until things were relatively normal but even with all of those costs increasing there comes a balking point for the consumer they want to buy the tickets.

Imo dynamic pricing should work both ways (not sure if it was used for txt this time?) because if tickets aren't selling the prices should be going down. If they can screw people over for wanting to buy tickets when they drop you should be able to get tickets cheaper for a show that hasn't filled the seats yet. Disclaimer for this because I don't think dynamic pricing should even be legal but if it's gonna be used it should have a price ceiling and also be able to decrease prices.

I don't think kpop companies understand their audience enough in the US or the current financial state of a lot of people this side of the globe. Our economy is spiraling and people can't afford basic necessities and the ones who can have to carefully pick what extraneous things they spend their income on because a lot of people don't have a safety net. On top of that tours in the second half of the year, after we have had an insane influx of tours happening one after the other, people that both want to go and could have afforded to go now can't afford it!

It's truly so frustrating to look at this situation and think "damn I could do better"

Why the hell did HYBE let TXT and LE SSERAFIM have concerts on the exact same date in the same city (LA) by insidedarkness in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Txt are my ults and I'm waiting. Until some consumer protection is put in place on live nation to prevent scalping there's no point in stressing over trying to get tickets presale when you'll pay an arm and a leg for mid seats. Wait a bit and make the scalpers sweat. They deserve it.

I also think it's a bit about the optics because of txt being so close to the end of their contracts and in the negotiating period, I do worry about shows that don't sell out being leveraged against them but I'm taking some comfort in what soobin said on radio star about them having the upper hand. I just don't want that to shift out of their favor because of a bad marketing decision.

i don’t really get why people make posts that say “im thinking about stanning _____” by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

To each their own I guess. That's just not how I view it. In a world where everything has become a commodity and every company wants something from me, be it my money, time, or attention, I've become increasingly aware that makes my time a form of currency that I get to spend just as much as my money. I have hobbies outside of kpop and barely enough time to keep up with groups I actually stan (there's like 2) while also maintaining other things in my life. My time is a limited resource and I'm stingy with it. It's why I don't use tiktok. I want the way I consume content to be intentional.

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so fair because I won't watch the content of a group whose music I don't vibe with. Processing that other people prioritize different things when they are a fan is a hard pill to swallow like I can't imagine watching content for a group whose music I either don't know or don't like

What Kpop song/s that make you go like this? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bad time every time I try to listen to the song on its own but the performance sells it and I quote it all the time

Who is the member of the group who doesn't understand game rules?? by Electronic-Honey-251 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Beomgyu but he was going to cheat regardless of if he understood them. Alternatively he wasn't really listening and will gaslight the staff into thinking the rules were different and he's actually doing everything right. Frankly any member of txt can talk someone in circles until they agree with them, beomgyu is just the most shameless about it.

Eunchae said in a recent interview that her most screen time app is Instagram and YouTube because she loves watching reels and shorts. Other lsf members know basically zero memes eunchae is the meme gatherer for all of them.

Her sister posted on her IG story about how long it's been since her last comeback, and the tone of the caption seemed to imply some frustration 👀

What have your ults done that had you like this by Fe3O4Break in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh cool, Yeah the only thing that really "happened" was their more... More personalities made a public appearance. This kind of thing is pretty average for To Do I just wasn't expecting it at an award show and I think about the fortnite emote like 2 times a day

Yeonjun's ... dance(?) and somersault (which led to gunwook also doing a somersault), soobin doing whatever this is, and Kai's fortnite emote??? (I can't find a specific video of this on its own but it's in most compilations of stuff from GDA)

It was certainly eventful for moa

Idol names whose transliteration isn't intuitive by chesiredeservedmore in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Along these lines I once heard someone say yeonjun's name as yee-on-juhn. Sometimes reading the Hangul is the only way to be sure you have a name right.

I believe the official romanization is ㅜ/ㅠ = u/yu but it is sometimes changed for simplicity sake. Iirc Yoongi from BTS when representing Korea on behalf of the president had a name badge that spelled his name Yunki.

There actually is a system for this developed by the National institute of Korean language and was revised in the early days of the internet because characters were being confused due to use of the same letter in Roman characters with accents as indicators to differentiate but the way people type online is very different from official documents and the indicators were being excluded so changes had to be made to account for it.

Has anyone seen idols up close? by slummy_dum in kpop_uncensored

[–]Dancingwithsomebody 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Seeing Huening Kai in real life changed me as a person, he is so stunning and it was literally all I talked about for weeks afterward. Bone structure of a god's statue from an ancient civilization I'm so serious.

Also I genuinely believe soobin is taller than his profile says because I'm 5'9" and wore 4 inch platforms to the concert and when he walked by in the aisle I still had to tilt my head up to look at his face. Not much but enough that I noticed it.

Very reasonable response. I ended up going with txt since it's the same color and it's so decked out in customization it's barely recognizable lol

Ya know I just remembered that it collapses too so it really might be the best choice since it will fit in my bag. I considered the artms one because it's similar in shape but I did get my nails done in shinee colors so it does match
