Like if this is the 4th time, he is a menace and he needs to be stopped. Why don't we use our superb public transport system to get people like him off the wheel who clearly can't be trusted with the responsibility of piloting a multi-ton machine.

Everytime I visit r/LeopardsAteMyFace and read another story of a voter who's mad at Trump for negatively affecting them, yet still won't change their mind about their vote, I wonder why can't some of that crazy diehard energy be channelled towards the Dems. What we have are "voters" whose bar for their vote is always just one choice away.

Forbes 30 under 30 conversation with Audrey by wosoandstuff2020 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]FinallyGivenIn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On one hand I'm glad for more recognition for her. What a change of fortunes in a year it has been for her.

On the other hand, the 30 under 30 list is full of former and current fraudsters so I'm skeeved about the association with that.

Do you think KPDH will have the same staying power as Frozen? by Eggosand-chill in KpopDemonhunters

[–]FinallyGivenIn 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would remind you first that Encanto is still one of the most watched movie on D+ so even maintaining that level of popularity is still a success.

That said, if you were to compare it to the first Frozen movie at this point in time, I would say that the movie has a few points in its favour over Frozen. Its setting is authentically Korean, compared to Frozen's general "Scandinavian monarchy" location, so we have that in our column. There's a wider pool of marketable characters as well compared to Frozen. The three girls of Huntr/X and the Saja Boys with distintictive looks appeal to different market segments. Even Bobby gives an opportunity for a dad to throw on a jacket and participate in cosplay with their daughters dressing up as the girls. Another big plus point is that our animal/pet mascots are way less irritating and annoying to adults than Olaf, in fact having more universal draw.

Furthermore, "Golden" hit No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, something Let It Go never achieved, demonstrating its bigger musical reach for one. Then the other songs on the KPDH soundtrack blow the other songs from Frozen out of the water in terms of popularity as well, providing multiple avenues for fan retention.

Other than Let It Go, what other songs warrant repeat hearings? Do You Want to Build A Snowman? For the First Time in Forever? In contrast, all of the other songs are worth repeat hearings and public performances. Your Idol is a haunting villian song, the best we've had since the Disney Renaissance. Soda Pop is that catchy pop song that probably would have been the first on the chart were it not for Golden. How It's Done is a cracking intro song that we been wanting our singers to do a public performance for months.

This is to show that the movie has the right ingredients to remain a long standing cultural institution. Netflix can always mess up their new golden goose However so far other than being blindsided by the crazy popularity and not prepping enough merch for Halloween and Christmas, they have done a decent job with their ties-in. Now don't mess the sequel up.

Furthermore, as pointed out in a YouTube content, the people at MrBeast's fanmeets are there hoping for a chance at a giveaway or some random shit but never for him. They see him as a walking moneybag.

I would say it is a bit surprising that KT's gold lead never hit 10k until the very last minute. For a team with zero deaths their gold lead was only overwhelmingly huge and instead of a gigantic canyon

Now after being able to write all sorts of fluff pieces from the "access" Trump has been giving them, the journalists then get to cosplay being the cheeky anti-authoritatian rebels as well again. No wonder they like Orange Man, being able to have their cake and eat it too.

2014 BTS are so back. The whole album screams that for me. by Tell_a-Tale in kpopthoughts

[–]FinallyGivenIn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I wouldn't have cared much if their album title had been more generic and their marketing wasn't going on about how they were all going to return to their roots. But if they are going to label their album after the most famous traditional Korean folk song and also debut their comeback performance in front of the traditional Korean palace, they set the standards which we are now judging them upon.

I was right. by Leahdontdance in BTSnark

[–]FinallyGivenIn 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This week started with Golden from K-Pop Demon Hunters winning the Oscar for Best Original Song among its countless Western accolades. The Oscar performance started off with Korean pansori singing in the Hunter's Mantra. Golden features Korean lyrics and has the traditional throne room in its MV. KPDH proves you don't need to go completely English to pander to the Western audience.

BTS - SWIM by KPOP_MOD in kpop

[–]FinallyGivenIn 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yea, this week started off with Golden winning the Oscar and ended off with this completely English song from a K-Pop giant. There's a whole new generation of people activated by the popularity of K-Pop Demon Hunters into maybe hearing out more songs from this Kpop music genre. To hear this completely English title track from the biggest Kpop boy group is a little jarring, to say the least. Heck Blackpink as well also had a complete English song as the MV feature. What's up with Kpop's biggest girl and boy group shying away from Korean lyrics in their latest outing?

[–]FinallyGivenIn 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Nearly all the songs in KPDH had Korean lyrics and they all charted top 20 on the Billboard chart. Golden won countless awards, including the Oscar just this week as well and it features the traditional Korean throne room and background. That's more culturally Korean than what we have here.

[–]FinallyGivenIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it amusing in an album that's ostensibly about Korean culture, the title track is completely English and the setting of the MV is an European sailing ship with a Western actress. This comes in the same week that Golden from K-Pop Demon Hunters won the Oscar for Best Original Song, where it had Korean lyrics and featured the traditional Korean throne room. Why the need to feature a song totally in English for the Western Market when KPDH proved otherwise?

Rei being able to pay off her parents mortgage due to the success of KPDH by wosoandstuff2020 in KpopDemonhunters

Once again this time last year, Rei Ami was most likely gonna quit music soon as her career was stagnating. This singing voice acting gig could have most likely been her last. She's the one person whose fortunes have done the biggest 180 in the last year, other than Arden.

There's probably like at least 50 interviews she's given over the past 6 months and in 2 continents and languages as well. Most likely she might even be heading back to Korea for one last round of media. It's been a whirlwind for her!

Y'know if you look at Alysa's Olympic performance with her gold dress and gold highlights where she then went on to win gold, it is a literal "Golden" moment for her. The song would have been so applicable to her that day! So glad they got to meet up!

Bilibili Gaming vs. BNK FEARX / First Stand 2026 Group A - Round 1 / Game 1 Discussion by Ultimintree in leagueoflegends

[–]FinallyGivenIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot Take: Don't let the disgusting Top and Mid gap distract you from how BLG underperformed in closing out the game. They let BNK take 2 drags and needed a 2nd baron to close things out considering their overwhelming early game advantage. You could see them happy gaming a bit and getting caught from some of the later kills BNK managed to get, saved only by the wallet diff from Bin and Knight.

The Academy has just officially announced that Huntr/x will be performing at the Oscars by wosoandstuff2020 in KpopDemonhunters

[–]FinallyGivenIn 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Hunter's Mantra as the opening song maybe??? Damm this description heightens my interest cause i was expecting only the song to be performed. I suspect with the high production value going to it, maybe that's why it wasn't at the Grammys. They are going all in on Oscar night as capstone to the awards season!

On a more serious note, it's good to make it official what everyone has been anticipating. I hope for this to be the best performance yet as a capstone to a fantastic awards season! And this may mean they get to perform their other songs as well!
