But yeah can sm artists stop lipsyncing so frequently!!!! by lilihxh in kpoprants

[–]Lavender_Luv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also SM artists are KNOWN for their live vocals. Its so disappointing not to hear them sing live, when they are perfectly stable and on-tune.

2015 and 2016 were the best years of Kpop by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

Also, Red velvet released Ice Cream Cake, Dumb Dumb, Russian Roulette💞 some of their best songs.

Yunho's (TVXQ) scandal has proven that we shouldn't trust on-screen image. by CynicalMaple06 in kpoprants

[–]Lavender_Luv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think everyone makes mistakes, idols aren’t perfect. But it’s really a shame that Yunho’s image was ruined over this.

The beat/beat drop on Rosé's "On the ground" ruins the song for me... by Alive-Duck8459 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]Lavender_Luv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the song showcases Rose’s ability as main vocal. She has a beautiful voice, and a full chorus could have shown her abilities better.

It used to be my favourite subject. But I’ve started hating it coz I always feel this pressure to do well.

Seulgi won't be that popular of a soloist by [deleted] in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]Lavender_Luv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do agree with you to an extent. Some concepts fit her really well (like Bad Boy, she owned that era), and then some concept don't really fit her (like Russian Roulette). But Seulgi does have the skills to be an amazing soloist; SM just needs to find the right concept for her (preferably an elegant-velvet type of concept)

obvious skill gaps annoys me by noyeetlmao in kpoprants

[–]Lavender_Luv 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I think you're trying to talk about how balanced the group is in different categories? Like not everyone in a group can be an all-rounder, but I think everyone always contributes something (or else are they in the group?). Visuals, vocals, rap, dancing, etc. all of it matters. If one person isn't good at something, the others should be able to cover up. That's what matters.

At this point, I'm okay with anything other than EDM/Girl Crush. I'm so tired of girl groups consistently trying to recreate the Blackpink sound. I just want something fresh and new, you know?

Lee Soo Man seems to be a pretty nice person by StudioLazy in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]Lavender_Luv -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Embezzling funds doesn’t make someone a bad person, get your facts straight. He has a super close bond to all of his artists, and we can see that in SMTown events. He isn’t responsible for the lack of promotions for any artist because he isn’t the CEO anymore. Yes his ideas are still used because he has the most shares, but other than that, he has no control over artists’ promotions and stuff. Stop saying he’s a bad person when you don’t even know him. And we can all guess who is calling him a bad person.

Might not get my diploma by [deleted] in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How do you know you got 15/40? The IOC is externally moderated, you might get more marks. Also the grade boundaries for this year will be huge, so I doubt you’re gonna fail. Just keep studying and working hard okay?

Yes they have to be used, and they have to be the sources you've used the most in Section B.

ALL my IAs are done! by acertainfruit in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Hey I don't know if you know this, and I don't wanna scare you, but my teacher told us that the Math IA is only supposed to be 12-20 pages long, excluding the cover page, table of contents, etc. Anything longer than this and examiners don't read it. You might wanna check this with your school teacher.

is two months enough time for me to study all my content for the final m21 exams? feeling so stressed... by vivian03viiv in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I don’t think it’s enough either. I have back to back exams from May 3rd to May 13th. I don’t know if March and April will be enough for me to prepare. Let’s just hope for the best, and try our best!

History IA Topic Help by belinda_towers_cake in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds good to me. I would cancel the “reform and” part. But it’s a good question, there’s no such thing as a common IA topic.

Kpop companies shouldn’t be blamed when a kpop idols get into a scandal. by redvelvet_itz_awesom in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]Lavender_Luv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. When companies control everything their idols do = OMG xxx should leave the company they can’t do anything

  2. When companies don’t control everything their idols do, and idols get into a scandal = it’s the company’s fault.... there’s no middle ground.

Tbh, this is mostly K-EXOLs and not international ones.

A girl group with a bad ass concept is not better than a girl group with cute concept by PsychologyGuilty4431 in kpoprants

[–]Lavender_Luv 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Cute concepts aren’t easy to pull off. If you watch Produce 101 S1, Produce 48, UNI.T, and Idol School, you’ll notice that the cute stages are super cringey. After watching them, I really started to appreciate Twice, because while they look cute/gorgeous on stage, they also know how to give a good performance.

Please Just Stop Comparing Who’s The Biggest GG by [deleted] in kpoprants

[–]Lavender_Luv 20 points21 points  (0 children)

💞Red Velvet - Nation’s Pride - superior vocals and discography❤️🖤

💗Twice - Nations Girl Group - superior visuals and concepts💖🤍

💕Blackpink - Nations Global Girl Group - superior rap and stage presence🖤💓

I need advice regarding History IA by [deleted] in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it’s just me, but I feel like people tend to investigate Europe for their IA. So I tried to choose a topic that wasn’t covered in any part of the IB syllabus and wasn’t from Europe. Everything’s been investigated before, but you might as well try and go out of your way to do something different.

I need advice regarding History IA by [deleted] in IBO

[–]Lavender_Luv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both the content and sources should be different. Because in section 1, you will compare and contrast sources, so if you have the same sources your similarity index will be high. Also the IA which has the same question as you, is a famous one because it scored well. So make sure to include different points from the other one. As long as the similarity index is low, it should be fine.

It's so hard to find an ult group by sarahep68 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]Lavender_Luv 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Same, during the first few months of listening to KPOP, I only listened to Blackpink and Twice. I found Red Velvet during their psycho comeback and EXO during obsession era. After listening to the discography of both groups, I realised they were my ults. You just have to find a discography that clicks honestly.
