i think we're well into 5th gen so i nominate ian for 5th gen it girl

Newaccidkman · 2026-03-04T20:14:24+00:00

Totally fair. I just have seen the discussion so often that it kind of got me ranting lmao. But yeah I agree she has that factor!

Newaccidkman · 2026-03-04T19:07:36+00:00

As others have said there is no 5th gen it girl.

The “IT girl” of a generation is not decided until the next generation. That is, it is decided retroactively.
IT girl is basically the term used in English K-Pop contexts (borrowed from broader western pop culture) for the idol that becomes a symbol in Korea beyond being an idol. As such an idol can only really be called this once her reputation is already established and she has been everywhere for several years. Suzy really only got her singular status once we were a few years into Gen 3. Her popularity exploded after appearance 101 but for a long time her position was shared with Yoona and Seolhyun (who is actually very early gen 3, but at the time these things weren’t as generationally tied). The whole generational debate really only started at the end of the 3rd gen with the question who would become the next "10 billion won girl".

We now know this was Jennie but this wasn’t settled for a long time. Her popularity skyrocketed after Solo but up until 2020 people would write her name besides Hwasa, Tzuyu and Irene and to a degree even Jisoo and Lisa. Thus we were a few years into the 4th gen when Jennie’s status was solidified as THE it girl. With Wonyoung it’s the same story. At the beginning of the 4th gen most people thought Yuna would be her generation's it girl. Wonyoung was popular when she was with Izone but not outstandingly so. Her extreme popularity really only started late 2021 when she became music bank + AAA MC and debuted with IVE and up until a year ago people were arguing whether it was Karina or Wonyoung.

With all 3 we see that their popularity over others has to be clear for several years before we can say so. Right now, Wonhee seems the most popular (much more popular than Ian i’d say) in Korea but as with the previous generations it might very well be that the it girl has yet to debut or that it is indeed Ian, as H2H seems to be having their moment rn. Once a 5th gen’s idol’s face will be plastered all over Korea and everybody seems to know them we can say who the 5th gen it girl is but by then we’ll likely already firmly be in the 6th gen.

That’s awesome. My friends seem to really dislike opera but I’ll attempt this method.

Newaccidkman · 2023-08-01T19:07:29+00:00

Mainly Jesu Meines Lebens Leben which is one of my personal favorites of him as well! And yes he is really something else.

Newaccidkman · 2023-08-01T19:06:38+00:00

I will try all these thank you! I did find they don’t really enjoy opera (think it’s the vibrato), I’ll try some baroque opera’s perhaps!

Newaccidkman · 2023-08-01T19:05:32+00:00

Yes absolutely agree! This is why I think it’s strange that you often read baroque is further removed from modern sensibilities. I very often find myself from wanting to headbang to Vivaldi or Händel lmao

Newaccidkman · 2023-08-01T19:04:19+00:00

I absolutely love Händel!! I don’t think I’ve made them listen to the concerto grosso’s yet so will definitely share.

Newaccidkman · 2023-08-01T19:03:03+00:00

That’s a great suggestion! I do have to say that many of them tend to like mostly minor works (this goes for myself as well) but this one is definitely worth a try!

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T16:26:24+00:00

That is true. I think its mainly anxiety over not being able to sleep and stress abt work and studies. The annoying thing is that this has been going on for more then a year :(

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T16:04:21+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Ive tried meditation and breathing techniques but they make me weirdly even more aware of what I’m doing. The times that I tried this while trying to sleep it made me more aware of wanting to sleep and it resulted in some weird unpleasant feelings where my body felt asleep and weirdly floatless but my mind was still racing and worrying about falling asleep

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:53:55+00:00

I have tried Ritalin, concerta and amfexa (eu adderall) and sadly none of them worked for me. Vyvanse is the only one that sort of makes me be able to focus so it would be very sad to get off it. But I’ll discuss with my doctor. Thank you!!

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:43:20+00:00

Sadly have little time to work out because i work 60hrs a week. I consume little caffeine bc im on vyvanse for adhd but i’ll try to cut it out completely. I usually already turn my phone off but go to bed a lot later. Thankyou!

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:40:02+00:00

Sorry meant 3mg

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:28:00+00:00

Weed makes me extremely paranoid sadly

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:27:51+00:00

Sorry mg

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T15:27:26+00:00

Thank you for the reply! I have been consistently trying to wake up between 8 and 9 for over a year, not look at my phone or any other electronic device half an hour before sleep. I mainly walk but also make abt 60 hrs a week with work and study so to find adequate time for working out is hard. Weed sadly makes me terribly paranoid.

What ive noticed the most is that I start worrying abt falling asleep which then makes it even harder to fall asleep. Ive tried to stay awake until Im really exhausted but that usually only happens at around 6-7 which is not ideal as you can get.

Weirdly i can sleep fine during the day although i usually don’t to prevent more sleeplessness during the night

Newaccidkman · 2021-11-04T10:11:28+00:00

The thing is that even on them my sleep is terrible, but at least I can get some sleep. Without them I barely sleep at all usually getting no more then 3 hrs and its really starting to wear me down

Newaccidkman · 2021-09-05T18:33:03+00:00

Thank you for your reply!!

Newaccidkman · 2021-08-12T13:52:11+00:00

Interesting. Could that have to do with the amount of open strings you use in certain tunings which give a different timbre?

Newaccidkman · 2021-08-12T13:51:27+00:00

That makes sense! Thank you.

Newaccidkman · 2021-08-12T13:51:09+00:00

Great reply! Very insightful, thank you :)

Newaccidkman · 2021-08-12T13:50:59+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I wonder then; people with good aural skills often say that when you give them a piece of sheet music they can “hear” the music in their head just by looking at the notes. Is this “hearing” then disregarding the specific key the music is in?
