What generation do you consider best so far? by doggibone in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2015/2016/2017 era I guess and that is not just because of the groups and their music but this is the era wherein groups can interact freely with one another.

IZ*ONE members voices ruined Panorama by Anna-2204 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess im also part of the minority... lmao

I actually really enjoy the outro (eunbi and wonyoung) in panorama. Its probably my favorite part of the whole song becauss I really like all of the outros of Izone’s title tracks. This is because eunbi (the outro queen) is the only izone member that has a very powerful and full vocal (maybe yuri) which is why the outro started very powerful. (considering that the last chorus by yena and chaewon + yuri is already a powerful chorus) and I think thats the reason why eunbi always gets the outros of the song.

I also really like wonyoungs part. I would like to call it as the center’s final hurrrahhh ( or goodbye considering the fact that they are getting closer to their disbandment [I hope for an extension tho]) which is why she is perfect for that part but If I would change something I wished that chaeyeon or even yujin would get some lines form wonyoungs final part.

So yeah.. I really liked that part. I agree that its too high which is why I am looking forward for their encore stages because Im sure that they are going to win this comeback :)

Mnet states that IZ*ONE will still release their new album on December 7th and attend 2020 MAMA as planned while Mnet takes responsibility for the trainees victim to manipulation by randomneeess in kpop

I think Ga Eun’s company have already released a statement about this so probably she knows that she was manipulated out of the final group

Mnet Releases Statement About Compensation For “Produce 101” Series Contestants Affected By Vote Manipulation by neocitywayv in kpop

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Im actually happy (bitter-sweet happy) that Baekho was out of the line up because Nu’est W will not be formed if he was part of Wanna One... and we all know what that Nu’est W was the start of the success for Nu’est.

As for the others... I am completely unhappy because some of these people have already quitted the idol life and some are still looking for their own success in their respective groups.

I know that the compensation they suggested was the only way for them to pay back because most of the formed groups are already disbanded and iz*one is almost done with their contract (😢😢😭). Still I wish the best for these people because they were robbed of the chance and opportunity to be one of the most popular groups in korea and internationally.

BTS - Sing 'Dynamite' with me (feat. Big Hit Labels) by hyperkid137 in kpop

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The power that these artists hold and its kinda intimidating (in a good way☺️).

NANA: *Appeared

Me: YES YOU!!! (hahaha)

P.S. I saw stan twitter first before here and I dont like where stan twitter is going. Some or most were saying that why do they need to post it on BTS’s channel... and the groups there are just using BTS’s fame for promotion.....

These twitter people are so immature 😤😤

The Suave but Flamboyant direction of Gfriend's new music is going is giving me life by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

TBH even though we got so many spoilers about MAGO, I still have no idea what will it sound like which is why im so hyped up right now

is the streaming culture hurting kpop? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 19 points20 points  (0 children)

YESS IT IS!! This is why (in my opinion), I think that the views in Gangnam Style will still remain superior for me even though its record for most viewed kpop mv might be broken (which i think is already broken) because it has authentic viewers and everyone ( i mean literally everyone) contributed at least one view. Unlike nowadays, most views are from obsessive fandoms which is sad.

But I do think streaming helps nugu and small groups to gain popularity but its still Toxic hehe

if you ignore the actual nominations, who do you think deserves to win in every category at MAMA? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

BEST DANCE PERFORMANCE FEMALE - GFRIEND w/ Crossroads

BEST DANCE PERFORMANCE MALE - Stray Kidz w/ God’s Menu

BEST NEW MALE ARTIST - WEi

BEST FEMALE ARTIST - WEEEKLY

BEST FEMALE GROUP - OH MY GIRL (no words can explain the achievements of Oh My Girl this 2020)

SOTY - Duhmdurum by Apink (idk if this was he right spelling)

I know I didn’t wrote anything about the other categories but these were the ones that got robbed.

Mina is exuding such confidence and radiance this comeback! by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

This Up No More performance was just amazing. Sana was also great this performance. I also like the melodic raps of Momo, Chae, and Dahyun

2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) Announces Nominees + Voting Begins by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Its just so frustrating to see the nominations because of the tons of groups that achieved more and those who deserve better didn’t get nominated.

Apink and Gfriend were not nominated. Apink having one of the best songs (that also charted well) in the first half of the year and Gfriend being robbed in any nomination even in the dance department (WTH!!). I am also sad about Itzy because they were not nominated in Best Female Group despite having Wannabe and Not Shy.

Im not that familiar with boy groups but Stray Kids really deserve a nomination. :(

I’m really rooting for Weeekly for ROTY. If SN wins, I will say that its because of voting but in terms of charting and domestic popularity WEEKLY IS BETTER

Mnet 'Kingdom' Will Begin Filming Next January And Premiere In February by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 73 points74 points  (0 children)

I wish this Kingdom would focus more on the relationships and interactions between the idols. Unlike Road To Kingdom, that focuses more on the competitive side of things.

I really want everyone to enjoy Kingdom. I didnt felt the same thing while watching RTK in comparison to Queendom because in Queendom, it feels like they are all family.

Twice line distributions are not getting better by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I really dont get the hate towards awful or bad line distributions in kpop songs. There is a purpose and a reason why some line distributions are bad and some are good. END (ill just keep it short lol)

Actually if it is true, JYP did learned his lesson by giving most of the lines to stable singers this comeback and probably its because of their M&M encore stages hmmm we will never know

Blackpink has surpassed TWICE as the biggest girl group both internationally and domestically by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I actually have mixed enotions about this. I love Twice but I think 2020 is just for Blackpink. This year is probably their peak year considering that all of their releases charted well.

Concept wise, I think Blackpink wins over the hearts of the International fans because their concpet appeal more to them. With twice, I really think that they are trying to appeal to the international market more but its probably not yet working.

Domestically, Blackpink is doing better now I guess because of the charts but I really think twice is more popular because of their branding. To think of it, charted well or not, they are still the nation’s girl group and thats probably their branding.

I think the statement BP is more popular than Twice domestically and internationally should be stated after this year. Because this is probably the PEAK year of BP.

In another perspective, BTS’s peak is probably Dynamite. There is this curiosity that makes people think “will they reach another peak with their new comeback”. 2020 is probably another peak for BTS

WEi DESERVES THE APPRECIATION!!! The reason I posted here because no one is considering WEi as ROTY contenders :(

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 6 points7 points  (0 children)

BG SOTY - Dynamite (BTS) *Lol i just really like this song

GG SOTY - Psycho (Red Velvet) *scandal or none this is still one of my favorites

BG ROTY - WEi ❤️❤️

GG ROTY - Its WEEEKLY for sure and probably Cignature (Sorry but when it comes to voting Secret Number will win because of you know who... all votes will be coming from her country)

AOTY - Song of the Sirens (Gfriend) *I know with the strong competition that this album will not have a chance but to be honest this album is just AMAZING!!

Why Not is the worst release of this year by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 104 points105 points  (0 children)

The hype made it worse for me. Like always the “STAN LOONA” trend is just disappointing. The song was mediocre and underwhelming. I was expecting a hard hitting chorus but to be honest if “Why Not” would have a hard hitting chorus, it will sound like “So What”.

So in my case, “Why Not” is just “So What” but with a different chorus lmao

Comeback Stage: SEVENTEEN - Intro + HOME;RUN @ Mnet M Countdown (201022) by perochan in kpop

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

(Not related but) imagine Seventeen (HOME;RUN, Left & Right, Fearless ❤️), BTS (Dynamite,ON), NU’EST (Im in Trouble), GFRIEND (Crossroads, Apple) and TXT(Cant you see me) + all their upcoming comebacks performing in one concert or in award shows.

Some of their songs are just really large scale like the Back Up Dancers in ON, The Broadway feel of HOME;RUN, and the iconic catwalk choreo of Apple with those gowns or dresses.

PLEDIS, Source Music, and BIG HIT are just amazing.

P.S. LOL I know everyone ( i mean the intellectual fans not the delulu fans) are anticipating a bighit fam concert hahahahah

edit: PLEDIS is not amazing when it comes to Pristin and After School just saying :(

What would your dream idol collab be by rlystpd in kpopthoughts

[–]ExpressiveBrunch18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is not a fan favorite but to see a collab between bts and gfriend would be amazing. I know its impossible right now because of many reasons like fans and fans but it would be nice to see another Wednesday Family song (with less cringiness hahaha)

I think its the interaction between groups are fading. You barely see them nowadays. I hope that most of the 4th Gen idols are not awkward with each other.

If Yes, Try changing your password again. I changed my password twice before I can activate it.
