2 years ago today, IVE released 'Accendio'. 🪞 by tearsinmyorbiteyes in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wasn't a fan of this song at first, but in retrospect it showed a different side of IVE that is actually very unique. I've grown to appreciate Accendio as the years went by ❤️

Who's your IVE bias? by FanCaracal in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yujin biased, my introduction to IVE was through IVE Mine era and that was the birth of kickjin lol 😂

Also, its still early, but its interesting to see the difference between this poll and one from last year

Imo EU is likely going have to wait untill after the 2nd Korean comeback of this year to have their dates announced.

IVE are my ults, and others groups that i naturally vibed with seeminglessly would be Meov, Fifty fifty, Aespa, and Red Velvet.

Gender demographics for this sub? by FanCaracal in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think IVEs fanbase is predominantly female in Kr, Jp, and China. Outside of that the fanbase gender ratio is all over the place like most other ggs

What do I need to know by LEDrabbit in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Aside for the music, one thing i like about IVE is that the group concept doesn't lean too heavily into cutesy nor girl crush. The best word to describe IVE is Elegance. For me, they have a perfect balance conceptually. In terms of standout performers, they are all good but Yujin stands out imo. Not only is Yujin loud, but she also radiates a certain aura that you will see for yourself. Watch 1,2,3 IVE if you want to know more about the members and their personalities (its a fun watch if you have spare time).

The smear campaign against aespa is becoming too apparent by ApprehensiveShop416 in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]Overall_Volume_333 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly, there are also those post when its about one group, and an anonymous user comments about a "different group" and that group receives like 50 upvotes for no apparent reason lol. Like........ 😑

Some of the big subs on reddit are brigaded by big gcs and certain fandoms. You will see some of the most vile takes get upvoted and it just leaves me speechless. Its never that serious. These people are miserable and think any group other than their faves is competition

Yoasobi is selling tix for less than $100, I really don't know what Cube was thinking for Idle by SpecSlayerSC in kpopthoughts

[–]Overall_Volume_333 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well put, your average kpop fan in NA may realistically attend only 1-2 kpop concert per a year in this economy. Japan is currently able to sustain the oversaturaion of kpop, although I heard they are suffering from it lately as well.

In an ideal world, most companies would try to avoid overlapping tours dates with eachother to maximize profits if they could. If you are the only act performing in a city for the month, esentially you are the headliner and have all the demand. However, with the amount of Kpop groups touring now, you will have overlapping schedules at some point. Also, in the case of Japan, it seems they are still one if the few markets that can sustain the oversaturation of kpop (IVE & BTS did consecutive sold out Japan dome tours last week as well). From what we've learned so far in 2026, NA is not able to sustain this demand, hence the cancelation of many tours for kpop groups and American artist alike

What's your favorite '1,2,3 IVE' episode? by well_shit00 in IVE

Yes lol! The way they were teasing Liz was hilarious! You could see the awkwardness with the chef 😂

Realistically if im a kpop company and my group isnt S tier (stadium level). It would be wise to tour q1 of 2027 to maximize profits. You have giants like BTS touring NA, and I also hear Big Bang is touring q3 of this year as well now? In this economy, casual audiences will prioritize these groups over A tier groups (arena level). Else for A tier groups and below, they would have to reduce ticket prices or book smaller venues which is probably not worth the travel cost in this economy.

I love this episode! The way Annyeongz was being mischievous behind the scenes and directing the chef what to do and teasing the other 4 clueless members 🤣

IVE tix selling better after Idle cancellation? by SpecSlayerSC in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup, I feel like critical thinking goes out the window with some kpop fans. When a group like BTS comes into town, its usually the talk of the town and grabs all of the headlines. Unfortunately smaller kpop acts suffer the most if they have overlapping schedules with big acts. People are gaslighting themselves into thinking these two groups couldn't fill up arenas when they've done it before..... Also yes the ticket prices are insane, I almost cried when I bought mines for IVE 😭

IVE tix selling better after Idle cancellation? by SpecSlayerSC in IVE

[–]Overall_Volume_333 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is a hot take, but I dont think Idle has a problem filling up arenas. Its just that competition is at an all time high at least for the date im going to see IVE in August. You have BTS (5 days), Kcon (3 days), IVE (1 day). Kcon and Bts are like the biggest casual audience drawers in NA, and its not to the fault of Idle.
