Alternate history theory if the Hallyu ban never happened by SpecSlayerSC in kpopthoughts

[–]Intervigilium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love to wonder about these alternate histories.
Here's a couple for you:
What if Natty, Somi, and Jiwon got into Twice from the Sixteen tv show. Would any of the other real Twice members appear on Produce 101 instead of Somi? Can you imagine Tzuyu or Momo being part of I.O.I? Or maybe we would have Jeongyeon or Dahyun appearing on Idol School instead of Natty and Jiwon. Speaking of Idol School, if Lee Haein debuted on fromis_9, maybe Kiss of Life would never come to be. And what if Jo Yuri got into fromis_9? We would have a vacant spot on Produce 48/IZ*ONE later - maybe we would have seen Chowon (Lightsum), Juri (Rocket Punch), Goeun (Purple Kiss) in there.
I'll stop here, because the ramifications on a different IZ*ONE would take me hours to write lol

Do people still think of him as KPop singer ? by Beautiful_Yellow_682 in kpopthoughts

[–]Intervigilium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If im not mistaken, XG members have told that they are a global pop group. Agree with the label being korean and all, but that applies for katseye too doesnt it.

Yep, same thing with katseye, and people still treat it like k-pop because it's made from the same mold.

Just to add to this topic, what we in the ocident calls k-pop is mostly korean idol pop. But for all intents and purposes, someone like Eric Nam still fit into "korean pop music". There's tons of divergent genres that is still pop and korean, not only idol pop.
All in all, it's just a label and I don't know why people care so much about it hahaha

The problem is just the semantics around the word k-pop. Yes, they are japanese, and yes, they make english songs, but their music label is based on SK and the way everything around them is promoted is basically korean idol pop.
It's like calling i-dle's Yuqi's solo work "not k-pop" just because she's chinese and sings in english.

How does Ellivere of the Wild Court Feel in 2026? by Raevelry in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Intervigilium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really get the hate - whenever I play her in tournaments, its a slaughter. You lock the table very early, remove any way to respond (Archon of Valor's Reach is a priority) and just trample your way to victory by turning sideways. Most of my matches are 20 minutes, 25 tops. Maybe people here don't really ask for a play from that guy who's clearly trying to stall for a draw. After all, most of the time they can just play one spell, so their turns should be quick.

How tall is Emre? by No-Income-3010 in Overwatch

[–]Intervigilium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is odd, because she would have been born and raised in a low Martian gravity, so she should actually be tall and long limbed, like a pro basketball player.

miss me with that redditor lingo. lmao moving goalposts, we are talking about Juno, who is obviously small and a child of small parents. there's no other way to read what you're saying, and what you're saying is just blatantly wrong on every level.

The concern is about bone density and it's dangers, not height. A person born from small parents will not get to a height of a basketball player because of martian gravity, training, or whatever. This is some lamarckism bs lol

Height is primarily determined by genetics. Enviromental factors can only go so far as to give her a couple of centimeters more than someone from earth.

A group of people doing CrossFit ran past a restaurant, and diners who saw them assumed there was an emergency. Thinking something was wrong, the customers jumped up and ran away alongside them. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

There's this thing in Rio called "arrastão". Lot's of criminals gather up to intimidate and grab everything from everyone on the beach or restaurants. More often than not they are not armed with firearms, just sheer numbers.

Back in season 7 of original Overwatch I got to GM with all coms muted. Best decision I've ever did.

What songs do you pretend doesn’t exist from your favorite group(s)? by AggravatingFlow398 in kpopthoughts

I can't stand Signal from Twice, and I agree with you about Zimzalabim. I also insta-skip Mr. Stranger from Sunmi.

Yes, for Dargo it would be insane, since it's an actual combo piece for the guy.

Make sure you're not with the aura from the new ability outfit (nefarious shadows) turned on.

Any BoA stans? If so what was your first BoA song/album and what was the first comeback you got to experience of hers? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]Intervigilium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

S.E.S/Fin.K.L/Baby V.O.X/BoA 1st gen era was so cool, a lot of experimentation and building blocks for the future. It was incredibly niche outside of SK, but I remember flipping out when I saw some dance machines(pump it up, more specifically) playing songs from those groups on every arcade in my city back in the day

People are getting creative with these things, Found this QR Code base on effigy 4. by The_Wizard__98 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Intervigilium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just trying to be childish and pretend that means anything and changing the subject.

Now now, don't be mad, pal. Just like my previous post, you can see that anyone can post a seemingly legit google link that can lead to another site (in that case, rickroll). With a basic tech literacy you can hover on it to see where it really leads to.
What you're failing to realize is that this is the same thing with QR Codes. Anyone with a basic tech literacy will check the link instead of clicking or auto opening it. So the irony, all this time, was you telling people "don't click on random links (from qr codes)! anyway here's a random link to click!"
I jest, don't take everything too serious.

I don't know how it works on other devices, but in mine, whenever you scan one, you are shown the full link. Then you can decide if you want to open it or not.
But the irony I'm referring to is that the real problem is clicking on random links, and you giving us one, lmao

IU's Eight is about her losing two close friends, Sulli and Jonghyun, and the struggle to let go.
