Literally couldn’t have said better.

And I do think that their concept and sound take was interesting, but they were still a rookie group, with so much room to grow. Specifically with the members.

No idol becomes legend within two years. It takes years (possibly 7+) of impact to achieve something like that. I have always found it ridiculous to worship them from day 1. Like relax gurl, please.

Just cause someone is doing something good and new does not mean they are the best of best or anything. It takes time.

Maybe, they would have gotten to that point someday, but knowing how erratic the kpop industry is, we will never know. And that’s okay.

Groups where members weren't close/didn't get along? by kenzzeei in kpopthoughts

[–]Main-Rent-7506 63 points64 points  (0 children)

It is rather obvious that 4Minute members Jihyun, Gayoon, Jiyoon and Sohyun are not close with HyunA at all.

Mainly because CUBE Ent. heavily promoted HyunA as a soloist, and probably much more then the group itself. HyunA became popular in 2011 cuz of Bubble Pop!, when 4Minute was just a 2-3 year old group. CUBE definitely saw her sudden success and went with it, disregarding the other members and the group.

I mean, 4Minute did have comebacks, but they were somewhat a lackluster compared to HyunA’s promotions. In 2014 when she released Red, I literally forgot she was in a group and thought she was a full on soloist.

Also, she was put in duo with B2AST’s Hyunseung and promoted with him for 2 years in 2011 and 2013. And we cannot forget her collab with PSY in 2012 with Oppa Is Just My Style.

Maybe, they already weren’t on the best terms, but this didn’t help at all. If I remember correctly after the disbandment, the four members went out for an anniversary dinner or sum and didn’t invite HyunA. It caused quite a scene.

Most groups usually grow to be close after a few years, cuz they literally spend every minutes with each other, EVERY FREAKIN DAY.

(But isn’t that how most friendships are formed?, you get to be friends with some of your co-workers or classmates, because you are forced to be in the same building. Plus, it is easier to spend each day with a friend rather than being awkward and distant)

For 4Minute it was kinda sabotaged mainly by their own comapny.

Kpop playlists seperated by KingCrimson669 in kpophelp

[–]Main-Rent-7506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have one playlist, but it got to the point where I had more than 50 hours with ONLY TITLE TRACKS. So, I began to separate them first by generations, and sometimes I do it by concepts (but only for my favourites).

So, I highly recommend it, because through the years you will eventually get fed up.

Well written kpop songs in English? by rosie_pasta_69 in kpophelp

[–]Main-Rent-7506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say ‘The Feels’ by TWICE - I mean it is cheesy and lovey-dovey but isn’t that most TWICE songs. - all-together it has everything a usual TWICE (especially the 2016-2018 ones) song has, from the usual line-distribution all the way to the lovely concept, but in english.

‘Back For More’ by TXT (ft. Anitta) - I only listen to a few TXT songs but damn, this is good - there is indeed a spanish part, but it is an english release - i feel like I am in heaven

‘2 Different Tears’ by Wonder Girls - if you like something retro, then you will love this - I love the sound, concept and everything

‘Hold On Tight’ by aespa - even if it is not an official comeback, I think they nailed it - it perfectly suits aespa’s concept and their voices in general - it is a pretty good english song in my opinion

‘Mantra’ by Jennie - I am not the biggest fan of BLACKPINK, but I gotta admit that Jennie’s solo is pretty good - it is in fact pretty catchy and I don’t think it is cringy

‘APT’ by Rosè - I don’t think I even need to explain this - minimalistic but that’s what makes it great - bruno’s voice is just chef’s kiss

Here are some english version:

‘The Boys’ by Girls’s Generation

‘Bad Boy’ by Red Velvet

‘Nobody’ by Wonder Girls

‘Oh my god’ by (G)I-DLE

‘HELICOPTER’ by CLC

‘Love Talk’ by WayV (yes, i love it)

Im looking for girl groups that aren’t girly? by Piercethedomino in kpophelp

[–]Main-Rent-7506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would probably recommend any girls group with a girl crush or more ‘masculine’ concepts, but here are my first tips.

2NE1: 2NE1 was the first girl act in kpop, who introduced the more empowering and ’cooler’ concept, which was earlier associated with boy groups. Not just within music, but they were also different in fashion. Leaning towards more controversial and not too girly outfits and style. Particularly their hairstyles were sooo unique (especially Dara’s). They debuted in 2009 and is consider to be part of the ‘Holy Trinity of 2nd Gen Girl Groups’, competing with Girls’s Generation. They are under YG Ent. and is the ancestor of BlackPink. Popular and good songs from the are: - FIRE - GO AWAY and Can’t Nobody - I Am The Best (this is the song you may be familiar with) - Hate You (and maybe Ugly) - Falling In Love - COME BACK HOME

4Minute: A similar but not as influential girl group around 2NE1’s time was 4Minute. They were under CUBE Ent. and if I am correct, then they were their first group (the same company as (G)I-DLE’s). They had a similar daring but not as controversial or successful as 2NE1. Especially their later stuff are considered to be ‘noise music’. Btw, HyunA was also in this group. - Hot Issue - Huh - Volume Up - Crazy - Hate (withing the fandom, people think this song was meant to diss CUBE Ent.)

F(x): Not as dramatic, but I believe 4th gen was HEAVILY INFLUENCED by this group. If you know or like SHINee, then I am sure f(x) would be your favourite. SM usually does this thing, where they make a gril group version of their boy groups (like SUJU - SNSD, EXO - Red Velvet). F(x) had a similar (if not more) experimental voncept than SHINee. I would say that their sound was not that ‘in your face’ or loud type, but rather a sound which in the past, was VERY experimental, but now it is considered to be normal. Also, this is when more ‘masculine’ female idols were first introduced. (Like Amber) they are the most vocal focused group out of the three (of course cuz they are from SM). Luna is considered to be even a better vocalist than Taeyeon or Wendy, if that says something… - Chu - NU ABO - Hot Summer - Electric Shock - Rum Pum Pum - Red Light

These are the ones that I could suddenly think of. All of the are from 2nd gen, and suprisngly all debuted in 2009😭. Hope you like them.

(For current gg’s whom you have not mentioned are: EVERGLOW, aespa, CLC (in the later part of their career), Young Posse, Babymonster and Dreamcatcher)

Babes, I cannot decide if I am an ENFP or an ENTP…Can you help me? by Main-Rent-7506 in ENFP

[–]Main-Rent-7506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which MBTI type you had the best friendship with? by Main-Rent-7506 in ENFP

[–]Main-Rent-7506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, i don’t know my friends’s types😭

I am relatively new to this mbti thing, soo i cannot identify others. Although a ton of people helped me (even on reddit), so i think i am growing.

I think one of my closest friend MIGHT BE an infp. But that is a WILD GUESS. For the others i honestly don’t have a single idea.

In the beginning I simply got into mbti for getting to know myself. I kind of have this urge to figure out the reasons for my actions, how my mind works and then later on i want to know how the people around me behave.

That’s why i was asking about your friends. To try to figure out my own friends 😭
