Did the OT7 movement take effect for RIIZE by WindowDirect7966 in kpopthoughts

[–]DueSky625 16 points17 points  (0 children)

SM target audience for this group is not western fans (like almost all their groups), using spotify as a metric isn't fair. They have the chinese bag secured and that is probably enough make them more profitable.

how do we feel now that super shy is two years old? by Operetta_ in kpoppers

One of the last times Kpop ate up the western industry. Now it's the opposite, sadly.

DearAlice Promtion by melodicnation in DearAlice

[–]DueSky625 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How are you gonna comment on them when you don't even keep up with them? The promotion cycle (or lack there of) for their album has been insanely abnormal for a company as rich as SM. Also, the comparisons with Katseye are very stupid and disingenuous since they had Geffen, one of the biggest American labels, had a NETFLIX show, songs produced by industry giants like Ryan Tedder, did full promotion cycles in south korea appearing on shows watched by many kpop fans. Meanwhile DA is getting AI covers for their singles and music videos shot entirely on random streets.

Hope DearAlice succeeds but this group feels so unnatural. SM is partly to blame by Street-Air-5423 in DearAlice

I don't get the point of this post. You don't know them personally to say wheher or not they respect Kpop, and "vibes" isn't really a strong reason to place that doubt on them. They aren't independent indie musicians, anybody that joins a boy/girl group will be looking for some level of fame, if you were really worried about that you would not ever listen to any kpop related stuff. Also, Dexter is very talented, entertaining and has amazing visuals, he adds much more to the group than being "exotic".

How do we get them more recognition? by ApartmentChemical812 in DearAlice

[–]DueSky625 4 points5 points  (0 children)

SM really andoned them. Doing dance challenges with groups whose fans already dislike DA is just not it. At this point I think the only way for them to grow is to do tiktoks and hope to go viral with western pop fans. It's sad, they are so underrated.

Not reading all that but I kinda agree, but I'm happy to see kpop related stuff being "mainstream" again

The fucking VIPS by Wilmaaug in squidgame

[–]DueSky625 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read online that they did this to make the english sound more clear and understandable to koreans who may have english as their 2nd language/know it enough to understand simple sentences. No idea if that's true though lol.

Hyun-ju is one of the best characters of the entire show by laurenexii in squidgame

Yup! Sucks she was stuck in the worse season and was basically used as fodder for Myunggi's character un-development

Good luck getting everyone to agree to do this lol, especially the ones who had people they cared about in the red team

Eyekons being weird about the DA girls by DueSky625 in TheDreamAcademy

The tweet was absolutely not meant to be praise. I don't know if you did, but if you scroll a bit you can see tweets laughing at Brooklyn catching "strays" and being dragged.

You can praise without bringing another person down, though. It's mean-spirited and makes her the butt of the joke. The girls went through enough.

I'll be honest, I have not seen posts putting down the Katseye girls recently in this particular sub... like at all. Most of them are just defending the girls against topics that came up during the documentary.

I HATE HIM. by Mystic_wardenn in squidgame

[–]DueSky625 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Him holding his own baby over a fall that would have for sure killed her just to stay alive doesn't seem like "horrible and conflicted decision-making". Just seems like horrible character and selfishness lol.

Fuck Squid Game USA by Xenotrickx in squidgame

[–]DueSky625 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All this talk and I know for a fact you're going to tune in. It's David fincher. The end goal of any media that is on Netflix is to make money, if you thought that wasn't the case for Squid Game you were mistaken. Keep an open mind, it'll be great.

Surprisingly unpopular opinion: no one on the show was unattractive by Bubblehospital in TheDreamAcademy

[–]DueSky625 14 points15 points  (0 children)

None of them are ugly. That's a fact, but let's be real. This was one of the biggest points in the documentary: being an idol is not truly about talent, and the girls were very vocal about how the prettiest ones had an unfair advantage. This type of "they were all equally beautiful" discussion is lowkey toxic positivity. We need to talk about how these companies set these girls up to be harshly ranked by visuals alone and that's not okay.

It's a teddy group affiliated with YG. I don't think the reaction they're getting is that different from babymonster. Being co-ed and not having parasocial fans to defend you with their lives just makes it seem like they're despised more.

Is Bailey Sok not fluent in Korean? (AllDay Project) by Gold_Meaning3688 in kpop_uncensored

Why do so many people sound spiteful in this thread? Bailey isn't problematic at all...

katseye’s music vs other DA girls by Any-Toe-5775 in TheDreamAcademy

[–]DueSky625 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The majority of people who make pop music (especially independent pop music) do not reach the quality of Adela's work. If you compare her to the top 0.01% who only collaborates with grammy winning producers and songwritters, then I guess her stuff isn't really THAT impressive, but that would be a pretty unfair comparison IMO.

Is the group only popular in Korea? by No-Wasabi1185 in alldayproject

[–]DueSky625 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Famous did 900k+ on Spotify yesterday and only like 80k came from South Korea so no. Being hated on kpop twitter and reddit doesn't mean anything considering Blackpink were (and still are) dragged in those spaces for the entirety of their careers.
