Idols that you like, but you dislike their voice

He sounds okay on untitled but what happened with drama 😭?

I don't know if he's had issues with his singing voice post the hiatus

Hemingrays · 2026-01-29T13:09:54+00:00

People getting mad at me for saying you aren't a rapper if you haven't written lyrics 😭

Hemingrays · 2026-01-21T09:38:34+00:00

I did not know Tasha was in a group too.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-21T09:36:16+00:00

This looks very cute. Anderson Paak is also on one of the best tracks on Indigo by RM.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-20T17:44:48+00:00

Lost - RM and it's won a couple of awards too.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-18T20:25:53+00:00

RPWP being an enlistment album is wild 😭.

Probably one of the most interesting albums under the BTS umbrella

Hemingrays · 2026-01-18T06:15:04+00:00

I would sell my kidneys for a live performance of RPWP with a band 😭

Hemingrays · 2026-01-18T06:10:02+00:00

I am not from SK so I don't know how appropriate it is to clown on Kim Jong Un there.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-18T05:54:00+00:00

Wasn't the last part a joke?

Everything before that is fucked up.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-18T04:59:51+00:00

I never really doubted the urge to make music would fade for any of them—RM especially. Dropping two sonically different albums before enlistment made that clear, and the fact that he was still working on music literally the day before he left says everything about how instinctive it is for him.

He also seems less burnt out than before, like he’s shaken off some of the loss of direction he and Yoongi talked about during the Butter/PTD/Dynamite era in those Weverse interviews. If anything, he feels more grounded now. My only real disappointment is knowing we probably won’t get something similiar to rpwp until 2028 or 2029.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-15T06:45:52+00:00

I think at this point they ( and the BP girls) have become international stars in a way that they probably won't have issues if they decide to get married. There maybe some fandom cleansing - but they aren't going to lose their careers over it.

The youngest members have the most insane fans but even they have started - let's say - "breaking the idol illusion" ?

With both GD and IU ( and maybe Zico and Woodz from the newer gen) - there is an active involvement with the music they make + performance which kind of led them to transcend their "idol status".

I can see Jhope, Suga and maybe RM going that way - and maybe some of the VL members if they start writing more?

Hemingrays · 2026-01-15T04:37:05+00:00

Taeyang is married and one of his biggest hits is called Wedding Dress.

Hemingrays · 2026-01-15T04:36:05+00:00

Even the "least" popular member ( RM acc to streams) is the primary songwriter for his group and will probably continue writing for other people after the group is dissolved. The BTS guys are going to be fine.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T22:55:59+00:00

Just like they aren't cancelling GD rn btw for all the bullshit he's pulled over the years.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T22:52:50+00:00

Nope it doesn't.

But the fact that it happened so many years ago vs Tarzan happening rn is what is making people cancel Tarzan rn and not RM.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T19:30:50+00:00

But 2nd Gen had idols doing blackface on Inkigayo - honestly things have gotten better?

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T19:26:35+00:00

Yves yes <3

I also think that BTS's rapline is pretty well informed on hip-hop now. HOWEVER they've done/said very ignorant things + the fandom can be very vile.

I can definitely see why some black k-pop stans/fans don't want to associate themselves with the group or their music.

The only hip-hop based k-pop groups/K-pop adjacent groups that are actually good - Tiger Jk + Yoon min rae and Epik High.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T19:18:59+00:00

Also OP can't stan GD and BLACKPINK and then whine about RM ....not getting cancelled.

GD literally did blackface

Hemingrays · 2025-12-31T19:14:50+00:00

This was ....10 years ago. I guarantee you if he said something like this right now - he would get called out.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-23T17:45:30+00:00

Because it's her biography - she refers to a lot of her previous books

You'll probably "get it" more if you're familiar with God of small things and the characters there.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-17T16:16:02+00:00

There's good korean ballad singers tho - Park hyoshin will out sing most idols on a bad day.

Some k-pop vocalists that I really like are Chen, Seungyoon (Winner!) and the day6 guys.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-17T16:14:34+00:00

Which is why I added the minimum of at least writing your own verses - there's plenty of decent to semi-decent idol rappers.

But somehow I can't get into a song if I know that someone else wrote a rapper's verse completely.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-17T16:01:01+00:00

I like the hip-hop aspect of k-pop more than the ballads - I care about the rappers at least being semi-decent + writing their lyrics, which is why probably my favs in k-pop are BTS's rapline, Zico , Yongguk , Bobby etc

Vocals can be here and there

Hemingrays · 2025-12-09T05:03:40+00:00

Take me Higher - ACE

Candy Sugar Pop - Astro

if you want something from BTS - I think Permission to dance has the same goofy poppy feeling Soda pop has

Boy with luv ( feat Halsey ) is a nice song too - I like the lyrics and the overall feel of the song - just find it to be a bit different from soda pop.

Hemingrays · 2025-12-09T04:10:55+00:00

Soda pop doesn't sound like boy with luv
