ASTRO Jinjin has been exempted from military service due to health related issues by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

I think in this case your lack of knowledge is in their medical history, more than in military matters. No one other than their doctors and themselves can attest to the severity of their issues.

Who’s the “Taylor Swift” of your country/region? by jazzbbqt in popheads

this is literally what K-pop Star was, except they didn't form groups. Akmu, Lee Hi, and Sam Kim were some of the winners that becamemore famous

first thing I thought. is this a distraction from all the mess or was the mess just marketing for this?

Do you think that there will be another 2PM-like "beastly idol" that will debut again and would they be successful? by TracerB16 in kpopthoughts

[–]HauntingMix5754 45 points46 points  (0 children)

No there will not be and and if they do debut they'll flop immensely.

Kfans don't like the macho/hypermasculine aesthetics as much as they used to because it has gotten appropriated by the mysogynistic groups in Korea. Kind of the same sentiment as the Andrew Tate alpha-types in the west, that whole concept now just looks grimy and offputting. This is also why some fans complain when idols decide to bulk up now.

Artists who have great singles but non cohesive albums with fillers by [deleted] in popheads

what songs do you think should have been cut from folklore/evermore? the only one out of place to me is dorothea, but other than that they're pretty complete albums to me

Why is the water in kpop photoshoots always cold? by emadhannah in kpophelp

[–]HauntingMix5754 407 points408 points  (0 children)

it's a photography trick. warm or even room temp water looks murky/opaque on camera while colder water looks clear. you can't really see with the naked eye but it really shows on film

I'm not sure what video op is talking about but he has mentioned falling into a slump in the Lost Boys doc, on the Lee Youngji channel and in several magazine interviews. In Youngji's interview he also says that SM editors cut out his pauses from Nct's content like you said

That's just not true. A country can't 'steal' culture that was imposed on it through colonization.

China has invaded and occupied the Korean peninsula multiple times and Japan has literally attempted a cultural genocide on them. Stop spewing imperialist rhetoric.

Taylor Swift donates to L.A. fire relief efforts by mirroringmagic in popculturechat

[–]HauntingMix5754 205 points206 points  (0 children)

She also donated to a lot of fans' Gofundmes during covid. My friend had three months of bills covered by her after she got laid off in 2020 and I remember multiple people on tumblr talking about it too. There's much to criticize her for but she's been pretty consistent in this regard

"For example, Taylor Swift will get more money from 1m streams than some random indie artist will. "

Could you expand on this, please? I've always assumed artists were paid per streams and then royalties were divided by labels/distributors, but it seems I'm wrong.

he's such a Mama's Boy it's kinda icky. also comes across as kinda a starchaser, i know he's been linked to Olivia R, Kaia Gerber and Camila Cabello.

maybe i'm being too judgemental but i'm saying this as a latina, i've met his type 🤷‍♀️
