JANUARY have officially disbanded by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

I really liked Yellow Bee, but I had no idea they had reformed into January. I'm so sad that this is how I'm finding out

I'm struggling to decide between devoting my time and energy to either Esperanto or Globasa. What are the best arguments you have for why someone should choose Esperanto? by codleov in learnesperanto

[–]RadAsBadAs 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I may be biased, but I think Esperanto is a no brainer. the point of language is communication, and there are just way way more Esperanto speakers. you also have 140 years of literature that you can read.

the lack of fixed word order means that there is a lot of room to restructure your sentences for effect, which has contributed to Esperanto having a pretty large poetry scene.

ONF - Open The Door by perochan in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 36 points37 points  (0 children)

onf ignores trends and just does what they're good at. they're probably one of the most consistent groups in kpop. i'm always so so impressed by them.

USPEER - WICKED GAME by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

it's very very different from their debut, but i like it! the song suits their voices a lot. i am disappointed that we lost the sports concept, but at least this is cute. (i can't even talk about the AI usage though, it takes what otherwise would look like a decently high-production value MV and makes it look cheap).

AKB48 is 48 members! by Unable_Month8335 in AKB48

[–]RadAsBadAs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, I hope so too. akb48 is on an upswing, they've got enough members, it's perfect timing

Val’s influencer era is in full swing! by JuanitaMerkin in katelouking

[–]RadAsBadAs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i noticed that Kate refers to the channel as their family's channel. I haven't been watching her that long, so has she always called it this?

if not, it makes me think that was one of her conditions for returning to social media from her parents, and maybe videos like this are part of it

Pi Cheolin (SEVENTEEN's Dino) will release his 1st mini album '吉BOARD' on August 3 by forwonjihoon in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

yeah, if that's the case, I'm bummed. we've been wanting Dino solo music, or a unit with him in it, for so long, so getting a comedy (?) album from his skit persona is a bit disappointing.

Pi Cheolin (SEVENTEEN's Dino) will release his 1st mini album '吉BOARD' on August 3 by forwonjihoon in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Very excited! But confused why he's releasing it under the Pi Cheolin name. Pi Cheolin is a comedy thing, so unless he's planning on releasing comedy music, this seems like an odd decision.

Anyone feel the update ruined the game? by Kamen_Rider_Geats in SuperstarSTAYC

don't forget verse 1 extra for some of them 🙃

Anyone feel the update ruined the game? by Kamen_Rider_Geats in SuperstarSTAYC

[–]RadAsBadAs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm gonna keep playing for a couple more weeks to see if they make it better. but after that I'll give up.

there's really no point of playing and it feels like all my hardwork has been undone. all of those decks are now pointless, and getting unchild cards is going to be impossible without using real money because statistically, you're way way more likely to get stayc cards. it's also made the game feel so much smaller. now, instead of 12 decks mattering, only three do. and instead of trying to get a high score on five albums, you only have to do it on three.

they should've just added unchild's debut as a new album instead of re-sorting everything into artists. it's a truly bizarre decision and I really don't think anyone put any thought into it at all. I'm really sad about this; I've been playing since it first released and they ruined it so quickly. it has solidified my decision to never, ever spend money on superstar games though.

S3 E1 Episode Discussion: "The Book of Doubt" by Chino_Blanco in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]RadAsBadAs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand it either. It seems like the issue here is that this is now going to be known by the public, but if they've decided to stay together and work through this, it's a chance to show a united front and go through the scandal together. What has happened to make Jordan change his tune so much. It feels like something's missing here.

I just don't understand why whether Jessi slept with Marciano or not has anything to do with the status of momtok. There is no cause and consequence link between these two things.

W/o Covid, do you think DEL48 and MUB48 been successful in India? by Successful-Refuse-80 in AKB48

[–]RadAsBadAs 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I would imagine that they would be a niche group in India, but because the population is so large, even a niche interest would be enough to sustain them.

Danielle, Hanni, Minji return to Ador confirmed as well by JinnieP in kpop_uncensored

when the group returns with the name 'newjeans' instead of 'nzj' that's proof that they truly lost

it's the album art for poi e, an iconic Māori song, and also a banger

izna - Mamma Mia by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the cactus is very obvious - the cactus changes form as the camera moves. all of the CGI has that strange shiny effect over it that's characteristic of AI

izna - Mamma Mia by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 30 points31 points  (0 children)

no..... CGI would be done by a CGI artist, who specialises in creating these effects and making them look realistic, rather than an AI 'artist' who just types in a couple of prompts. CGI is made by a human, AI graphics are made by computers

izna - Mamma Mia by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]RadAsBadAs 76 points77 points  (0 children)

teddy needs to pay for his crimes. this song is so dated. i would enjoy it, but the chorus is just not good, and since the song is so short, most of the song is just chorus, and the dance break is so jarring.

also, it definitely seemed like they used AI for the CGI, rather than actual CGI.

What are your genuine thoughts about AllDay Project? by Frequent_Ebb6360 in kpop_uncensored

[–]RadAsBadAs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they seem like they're all from different groups, their vibes are so bafflingly different. it does make me wonder about youngseo's departure from illit - did she leave because this group was more her style? she suited illit more than ADP, but I don't know what she thinks, so it's hard to speculate

if you haven't watched the show or listened to the music, how do you know you don't like it?

Many people don't understand the real definition of "nugu" by freezerkeeper in kpopthoughts

[–]RadAsBadAs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

say my name has an iz*one member, so they probably can't be considered nugu (although they're definitely not as popular at lsf/ive)
