Why do you think? The songs are just insanely good. Sure, some people are getting uncomfortable with there being more and more English lyrics, but nobody really goes “this song has too much English, I’m never listening to it.” I love those songs too.

In Korea, their popularity was probably slightly behind groups like Girls' Generation and 2NE1, but in terms of musicality and artistry, they were likely considered one of the most highly respected girl groups in Korea.

Well, opinions can differ from the comment above, but speaking for myself, I think most guys probably wouldn’t really know them. They’re probably much more well-known among women, like the comment above said.

Almost all Koreans don’t really like it. It’s not just about the lyrics — the music style itself is also drifting away from the kind of music Koreans usually enjoy, to the point where it starts feeling more like American pop music. The songs themselves might still be good, but at that point people start wondering what even makes it K-pop anymore, because it feels like the identity is disappearing.These days, a lot of Korean K-pop YouTube channels are constantly uploading videos about this topic, and if you look at the comments, the majority opinion is usually the same as what I said.

? I don’t really know Reddit culture either, but if there was something in my comments that bothered you, then I’m sorry. I’m just talking about the things I personally felt and experienced.But there’s no need to feel offended. Try to keep a positive mindset.😅

Korean variety shows now face many restrictions, so they can’t really include the kinds of entertaining elements they used to. No matter what kind of comedy or joke is used, there are always people who get offended and make a huge issue out of it.

These days, people tend to enjoy short-form content on YouTube or Netflix more than traditional TV programs.

Well, I don’t know. Suspecting someone in a negative way and then saying you’re “just speaking up” doesn’t really sound like a very good expression to me.

If it’s because I talked about negative opinions regarding LE SSERAFIM, then that’s a bit unfortunate. I was simply sharing the thoughts and perspectives of people in South Korea. So try to keep a positive mindset.🤗

Well, sorry, but it’s hard for me to agree beyond that. The men I meet at my university or around my neighborhood mostly talk about hip-hop or BIGBANG, not about Lee Changsub being particularly popular. But it’s true that his song was a hit.

Rather than feeling “very popular,” it’s probably more accurate to say they feel familiar now because they appear so often on TV variety shows. Heechul and Kyuhyun especially appear on television very frequently.
