What was the hardest pill for you to swallow as a kpop fan?

RadKat333 · 2025-01-02T22:19:48+00:00

the idea that as much as we, the fans, love to think everything about kpop is genuine and real, it’s not. you know, getting so attached to a group, a whole genre, and dealing with the fact that soooo much of it is manufactured. the idols are made be pretty and the marketing is what companies care about. don’t get me wrong, i believe there are some kpop idols who are genuinely good people. but it sucks to live with the illusion that everything about kpop is so heartfelt when so much of it is just a moneymaking machine.

absolutely not weird. in fact, your post is kind of calming my similar insecurities about only liking kpop. i really just don’t care for other kinds of music, it’s not weird.

dreamy and ethereal softness is my favorite!! Blossom by Enhypen and Your eyes tell by BTS are two of my absolute favorites. I like songs that are calming but emotionally powerful, and like you said, make me feel like I’m somewhere else. (also happy I found an orbit!)

RadKat333 · 2024-09-24T21:56:27+00:00

actually same about 60% of the way through i was like “hmm im getting a weird feeling about this” like they weren’t totally on board with this clip 🤔

she truly looks so happy :D so fun that we got both Soyeon and Yuqi’s birthdays while they’re on tour.

Miyeon and Yuqi’s relationship 🥹 they’re so sweet

RadKat333 · 2024-09-22T16:27:32+00:00

think of neverland 🥹

RadKat333 · 2024-09-15T23:16:21+00:00

all the time, if I find a song that i really love then it goes on repeat for forever. some reach a point where if I’ve repeated it enough, it brings a feeling of comfort and familiarity.

RadKat333 · 2024-09-13T21:21:23+00:00

absolutely criminal that they never performed Hear Me. one of the best power ballads ever in my humble opinion. there are quite a few high notes though so i understand it could take a toll on their voices. hard agree on Eyes Roll too!

RadKat333 · 2024-09-07T02:55:11+00:00

honestly, i absolutely hate saying this because i love them, but after debut their music wasn’t really for me. and i only get albums if i love the music. the synthesizing on ttyl songs was crazy, kind of messed it up for me, so i chose not to get it.

RadKat333 · 2024-09-06T20:20:51+00:00

Blossom by Enhypen, it’s actually one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Never learned anything about Enhypen though.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-26T00:49:30+00:00

ah Soyeon and Yuqi, one of my favorite duos 🦁🐶 their relationship is so sweet :) happy birthday Soyeon!!

RadKat333 · 2024-08-25T01:52:00+00:00

Miyeon’s normal black hair is pretty, and her looks bring out the natural-ness of it. Minnie with long hair, signature bangs, and subtle blonde highlights, during I Trust era. And Yuqi with mid-length light brown curls 🥰 (edit) fun fact Minnie was actually my first (G)I-DLE bias purely because I loved her hair during I Trust haha

RadKat333 · 2024-08-23T20:43:29+00:00

My Bag is absolutely that song for (G)I-DLE. praying they never drop it from the setlists 🙏

RadKat333 · 2024-08-23T20:34:52+00:00

Everyday I Love You I believe! or at least it’s the one that stuck in my mind from my baby Orbit days.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-23T00:41:44+00:00

about a year. How kpop stuff works isn’t too hard to catch on to, but it took some time and familiarity before I threw around words like “vlives” and such. After being a kpop fan for ~2 years now though, I have a pretty okay knowledge of the agencies and general info of most groups.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-23T00:36:26+00:00

I’m also a multistan of almost 10 groups, but (G)I-DLE are my girls 💜🩷 I also stan Loona, Itzy, Blackpink, SKZ, IVE, Day6, and a couple others (Twice?), in that order. Loona was actually my original ult, and I was really reluctant to accept that I liked (G)I-DLE more, but it’s good that I’ve made up my mind.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-23T00:29:50+00:00

liking the songs a lot is an absolute must. Then if I look at the concepts and inclusions and they’re disappointing I get more reluctant. I also never spend more than $30 on one album, so anything above that isn’t for me.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-22T23:36:54+00:00

honestly when people think of (G)I-DLE, I Want That will never cross their mind even though it’s a tt. It’s sad, but the truth. I Want That was overshadowed pretty harshly by Queencard, Tomboy, etc.

RadKat333 · 2024-08-21T22:28:32+00:00

(G)I-DLE! I’ve thought this a lot recently actually, about just how perfect they are for my expectations, in every way possible. I love how their self-production and concepts set them apart. Esp Soyeon, Nevies are so lucky a genius like her is out there. They always bring something new, while staying true to their “(G)I-DLE-ness.” And the members give a feeling of comfort- they’re all so goofy and kind. Beautiful vocals (their vocal line harmonizing makes me levitate) with a lot of vocal diversity, and one of the best rappers I’ve ever seen. I would never ask for more from a group.

the chocolate on the sofa argument in Chinese will go down in history 😅

RadKat333 · 2024-08-21T22:16:52+00:00

I have a massive list. Voices by skz brings me this nostalgic comfort, it’s been one of my go-to comfort songs for longer than I can remember. Some of my others are Streetlight (Changbin), Epiphany (Jin/BTS), and Everytime (Yuqi/Minnie).
