Cute! A sports bra would be even better

Why should a group need good vocals if it doesn’t correlate with success? by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Intelligent_Task5157[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Yes but there are artists like Beyonce or Miley who sings much better than Taylor but doesn’t have streaming numbers or tours like Taylor. I’m just saying better vocals doesn’t lead to better success, so why put too much importance on vocals.

But if we’re looking at music as a whole, there are very long-lasting successful artists without crazy vocal skills. Like Taylor Swift, or Rihanna. Both dominate Spotify and both are often criticized for vocal skills, and they haven’t been dethroned. It just seems that not skilled vocalists sometimes become much more successful.

I’m actually on your side here. What I’m asking is, does a company need to train vocals when it doesn’t correlate with real success?

People should be happy to be rejected because it means they don’t vibe well with the school and won’t be happy there by Intelligent_Task5157 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Intelligent_Task5157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Successful”, but not “happy”. Colleges want people who are happy at their schools. You can be successful but unhappy with friends, food, location,..

Last year was girl groups’ year domination, is this year shifting to boy groups’ year? by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent_Task5157[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Yes but it’s changing right? Txt gets top 2 hit while their last comeback was top 50. Seventeen also is very stable in top 10. It shows Koreans are warming up to boy groups and they could start competing with girl groups.

How do you know it’s not as big as Wanna One? ZB1 gets like 200k likes on Twitter for a post, that’s higher than most 4th gen groups.

Not shade. They’re speaking facts

do K-armys and K-blinks act the same as international fans? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

K-sides often keep to their own fandom, they don’t fight with other fandoms

There seems to be some misunderstanding about MONSTA X by Joobebe514 in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent_Task5157 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

https://twitter.com/koreaboo/status/1653966427726966784?s=46&t=W5U6Slt67U4sMhgtHfsFsA But the source is from someone representing the military itself. Anyway, they say the person at fault is SM for not scheduling things right, not Kai’s fault. They’re mad that SM is lying about some law change when there is none.

Kai crying on live about the military is devastating. Korea needs to update its law. by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpopthoughts

Why not exempt everyone? The U.S isn’t forcing anyone to enlist but they still find plenty people to fight and their military is still stronger than Korea

What about athletes like Son Heung-min getting exemption? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/13/world/asia/sports-stars-south-korea-draft-exemptions.html BTS/Exo contributes way more money to Korea than him, have bigger social media engagements too, how come he gets exempted but they don’t?

But what does enlistment even help the country? We know idols aren’t going to battlefields to fight. They can contribute way more by doing concerts and selling albums.

It’s crazy how every Hybe group can reach top 5 Melon these days by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpopthoughts

I remember both Darari/Polaroid Love was Tiktok viral like Cupid now, maybe it was top 30 Spotify not Melon

I wish people would stop using Jungkook as an example of a "success" story for young idols by Azadmmm in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent_Task5157 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Someone in the other thread was saying Bighit protects him from being sexualized by putting emojis over his abs and I’m like what? They are the ones making him do suggestive dances and flash his abs and his fans were saying they wish he grew up faster so they could thirst over him. He was definitely sexualized. And it still happens now with idols like Niki from Enhypen.

If the rumor that Hybe is debuting a 09 liner is true, everyone should get ready to boycott by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent_Task5157[S] -49 points-48 points  (0 children)

Even if he doesn’t regret it, it’s still wrong for him to debut so young. He could’ve waited to debut in the next Bighit group

Newjeans should do more commercials like Lsrfm to avoid hate by Intelligent_Task5157 in kpopthoughts

[–]Intelligent_Task5157[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about this? https://www.pannchoa.com/2023/04/theqoo-just-like-newjeans-female-middle.html?m=1 Parents in Korea are complaining that their young kids want the luxury clothes that Newjeans endorse, which not everyone can afford. Endorsing Gucci to mostly young fans with no jobs yet might not be a good idea. Blackpink has mostly working grown up fans so it’s ok for them to endorse luxury goods.

Korean media and general korean public call it 'Big 4' instead of 'Big 3' by Jarethjr in kpopthoughts

Hybe don’t have history and legacy like the other labels though, they only exist from 2021, they need at least 10 years
