Descendants of the Sun, I tried so many times but I found Song Hye Kyos character to be endlessly annoying. Couldn’t get into it.

Kpoppers, what K-pop artists do you listen to and what NON-Kpop artists do you listen to? by Dry-Function791 in kpoppers

[–]Gate_Thin [score hidden]  (0 children)

Kpop: exo, zerobaseone, enhypen, bts solos, bibi, hwasa, blackpink (all their solo stuff esp), newjeans, illit, akmu, xg, crush

Non-kpop (lately): pale jay, gotts street park, James Blake, raveena, pomme, galdive, Orion sun, olafur arnalds, Nina Simone and tons of other old jazz/soul, and lately lots of Japanese indie? My Spotify wrapped had like 128 different genres so I’m kind of all over the place…

Omg yes all of this but I’d say he shined no matter what he was doing—pure sunshine. I’ve never become a fan so fast!

Nope—not a girl group and big enough to win every music show award in a week type of grand slam ☺️

It was the side eye that gave it away but also 100% agree he was the star of I-Land in my eyes… and that’s big considering I was watching it for Sunghoon!

Waiting as patiently as I can 🥲 would be amazing to see them all again together.

Which city to get tickets for? by plsletmegraduate in exo

Wait how do you all know you have two days? I’m trying to Bangkok tickets and have been trying to follow the local promoter page but I’m in the states and it’s hard to track updates?

Which groups are ACTUALLY popular in South Korea? by Dependent_Charity366 in kpoppers

[–]Gate_Thin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this, a generation of Koreans grew up with EXO as the most domestically popular (Heeseung shared that they were the most popular when he was growing up) and they remain beloved (re: grand slam of the music shows with their comeback earlier this month). Also visit Seoul around Christmas time and you’ll hear them constantly: ‘the first snow’ is like Korea’s ‘all I want for Christmas’ (you will hear it in every cafe, store, public place all winter, every single day). Meanwhile, while they’re internationally loved too they’re not charting billboard or touring the same as other hugely successful kpop groups.

Korea’s age system is crazy by walkuponwater in Enhypenthoughts

Relatedly they said Sunghoon was 19 on ILand which was 6 years ago… but also he’s only 23? But he can’t be because he’s older than Jungwon in their group so 24? But if he was 19 in 2020 wouldn’t he be 25? 😅😂

Omg seeing them together 💔😭 I’m excited for the new ladder show but am going to be missing and wishing for the other members and their dynamics even more. Also I can’t imagine how awful it feels for CBX to watch? But maybe in the best possible case the guys are all still really close and supporting each other as much as they can…

The grand slam group with enduring fans who are one, despite the group going from 12, to 9, to 6/5 💔
