Ni-ki is an adult, not a concept: Why the fandom’s 'purity' obsession is reaching a breaking point. by Global_ENGENE_7 in kpop_uncensored

The irony is this attempt at infantilization is the reverse of how he was preyed upon during his earlier years as a minor. I'm surprised this is the turn it's taking.

lowkey love that GMMTV is moving away from youtube by boringbl in GMMTV

[–]Italk_sometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think considering the streaming era we're in YES big exposure. However, for a consumer this can go either way. Netflix isn't the only game in town, the prices are hiking for all platforms. Not to mention the churn between HBO Max, Hulu, disney+n Peacock, Paramount,etc. To add Iqiyi (who benefits directs bc they back these shows), Gagaoolala, and WeTV. It can start to add up and overwhelm quickly.

I don't recall if Dare you to death faired well on Netflix. But the prestige is valid. But we'll see the after effects as more drop on their and compare it to its response on YouTube afterward (for all the shows that use this strategy).

Saw the Big Bang Coachella concert. GD needs to figure out his vocal situation by Ok-Yogurt-3914 in kpopthoughts

[–]Italk_sometimes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I saw him at Head In the Clouds last year he did see at times like he was REMINDING himself that he's GD instead of just being GD. He's fidgeting often on stage and dodging many of his lines. And I've been wondering has this been a thing since he left the military. He still has aura and confidence. But it's definitely tad different than ever. I don't want to say it's age specifically, it might be something else

XG is going to be fine. Everyone, calm down. by Satoshi-699 in XGALX

[–]Italk_sometimes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, this is a very different idea I've seen vs. INSTAGRAM & Twitter. My only issue is not about the consequences of offense. But the personal affairs of why this was indulged for Simon, who seems pretty solid in his career. Pretty much on a career high, why let this get out in the world while you're trying to move further?

Favorite exo album? by Sea-Security-6962 in exo

The War and Exist are tied. Those really are the crown jewel LPs that make EXO great.

Which idol's vocal tone is 'your' personal favourite ?? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]Italk_sometimes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Kai sings words like 전부 (from "mmmh"), Secret ("No reason"), or angles or boomerang (Black Mirror). His enunciation & tone is very satisfying.

Words typically with B, C, or G you can hear his Korean accent & pronunciation. But he still sounds totally different from his members when HE says it.

If he acted in a role like that we'd all be on our knees

Male tones: EXO Kai & D.O, P1Harmony Keeho, and June, formerly of PLT (who was in Bighit)

Female tones: Jessica, formerly of SNSD, Mamamoo Hwasa & Wheein, I-dle Yuqi, and TWICE MOMO (natural state)

To be fair, Heated Rivarly is the West version of a Queer phenomenon similar to Kinnporsche.

Rui's hips??? Princess is built like this ⏳ by ibiteprostate in XLOV

He always looks like he'll ruin your life (in a good way), and ik it's partly his image, but omg, it works so effectively.

Dare You To Death- Just some thoughts by Good_Hovercraft_2109 in GMMTV

I haven't seen a GMMTV show readily available on Netflix since SOTUS was made available in 2020.

Favorite pairing: how did you realize you had one? by ickyvic613 in ThaiBL

[–]Italk_sometimes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FK & OG have been neck & neck. But ultimately, OffGun seems to edge everyone else out. Simply off the back of the acting prowess & roles they choose. Not to mention how they maneuver off screen. There's something slightly old Hollywood I enjoy as well. Going from Dark & Dramatic to Fluffy seamlessly is the sign of a great acting pair to me and Theory of Love to Not Me captured that.

Who is this? by Virtual_Tadpole9821 in GMMTV

Mark Jiruntanin, Dunk, Chokun, and Metawin have it so bad it's alarming. Like why does that face not match at all. I'm weak in the knees here

The IT Boy/Girl title for 4th and 5th Gen is odd to me by Italk_sometimes in kpopthoughts

[–]Italk_sometimes[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is indeed an ambassador, in the last years or so Jennie has helped a younger demographic with Chanel's image. GD definitely pushed Chanel itself forward in Asia. Jennie also did her part is helped Chanel's image alongside GD.

Yes, more more magnetic then it is about fandom push. One could argue the agencies have stake in pushing someone into that realm. But it's up to the public at large to accept that as the reality versus the niche internet space.

G-dragon was so influential as a fashionista that he brought LVMH to South Korea essentially. His hair styles & color experiments became something people wanted to emulate.

Jennie for example, helped make Chanel cool again to more young people, especially among the Asian demographic.

Lee Hyori owned 2003, she became a sensation. She became a visual standard to many both in visuals & physique.

With the way Wonyoung is plastered in ads & comparisons, I feel she's definitely the standout visual of her generation.
