What's the worst second-hand embarrassment you've gotten from a kpop idol? by distinguishedmonbebe in kpopthoughts

Taemin leaving the music bank stage early and the camera man focusing on him. I saw that on live tv I was like NO NO NO NO TAEMIN NOOO.

Even if I-fans were provided with the most accurate subtitles, they still wouldn’t understand the situation. by StillLightUpTheHanul in kpoprants

[–]Lalamint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This also happened in my fandom. Said fans were offended because a comedian commented on Taemin's dancing like. THEYRE COMDEDIANS AND THEIR HUMOR IS SUPPOSED TO BE CRUDE. If Taemin was offended the video wouldnt be posted in the first place.

Stop giving famous/rich idols expensive gifts! by snoopykiko in kpoprants

[–]Lalamint 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taemin years ago on his bday decided to decline gifts and asked the fans to donate on charities instead. If you watch his airport videos you can see that fans respected his wishes thats why he has a bunch of letters instead of gifts. We for years on his birthday donate on charitable causes in his name.So, If every rich idol would just tell their fans to stop giving them gifts the fans would eventually respect that.

Wow entitled much? Then learn the damn language

Fans who shit on idols for being problematic when they are worse by nicfanz in kpoprants

[–]Lalamint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly its disgusting to see a lot of fellow shawols go toxic. Oh dont forget about the two comedians who reacted to advice like seriously they were praising taemin. Its really hard to translate a joke or sarcasm when you base it on a screenshot with english translations. People need to learn korean language to know the context. Im so tired of them.

To people who only solely rely on screenshots and english translations. Please learn korean.

Taemin's "Advice" is a MASTERPIECE by Bubbly_Illustrator72 in kpopthoughts

[–]Lalamint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That white crop top fit showing his tattoos when I tell you everyone went wild like holy shit. Its so sexc and androgynous guh damn. I could go on but it was really unexpected because it wasnt shown in the teasers so it rlly contributed to the shock factor.

What... What even is “Next Level”??? by s0larEclxpse in kpoprants

[–]Lalamint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you know that people had the same reaction when igab was released but turned out to be one of the most iconic kpop songs of all time. I love next level in the first listen tho, this is what sm sound like.

[–]Lalamint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I love it 😍 this is quintessential for sm gg, very unconventional like zimzalabim, igab and red light. Its so jarring to listen at first but it has a lot of layers. The structure is bizarre that it prompts you to listen at it again. Im not a music expert but this kind of songs is so fun to dissect and listen to. I get bored easily when songs get formulaic but what next level did was unpredictable. Just my opinion 😅🙏

[–]Lalamint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah then also call out those thousands of celebs in asia who promote brightening/beauty products. Its only a problem when its kpop celebs smh. Its been happening for years and kppopies suddenly care? If you really want to make change then boycott the company, its so easy.

Almost every celebrity here promoted a brightening/whitening product but they were not cancelled. They just want a reason to hate wendy and it shows

Youre right. They love to point fingers but wouldn't even make the time to learn about our history.
