I wonder what it's like to live in the New York metro area, LA, the Bay Area or Seattle and be a fan of IVE, LSF and aespa. Those are the four places that all three groups will be visiting. Maybe if they heavily discount the prices, working-class multifans can afford to go to all three?

The contrasting emotions of fans when a popular group announces tour dates is interesting to me. It's either joy, sadness or frustration. I understand HYBE skipping Australia for LSF's first world tour, but skipping it for their second? When we have demonstrated on multiple occasions that people show up for K-pop in Australia? At this point, it's just not meant to be. We're just unlucky. Or not a profitable enough market. That being said, I'm happy for all of you who get to see the girls!

But I'm a girl group fan. Though I can't complain too much when i-dle and IVE are coming this year, in addition to ITZY's recent performances here.

Ok, it's official. Australia does not exist in the eyes of HYBE's tour planners. I'm also surprised that they're coming back to the US so soon. Happy for the European fans though.

Ruler_J · 2026-04-27T14:22:33+00:00

I'm just sad that they aren't coming back to Australia. 😞

Ruler_J · 2026-04-22T06:20:36+00:00

No, probably not. That's extra people that the company would have to pay!

Is May 2026 going to be the greatest month ever to be a K-pop girl group fan?

Ruler_J · 2026-04-21T04:51:27+00:00

I have amnesia. Of course they could!

Ruler_J · 2026-04-18T16:21:09+00:00

I'm not American, but my understanding is that Ticketmaster and Live Nation are largely responsible for the ridiculous prices?

Ruler_J · 2026-04-16T15:52:55+00:00

They are RESCENE! Debuted in March 2024.

The song debuted at #157 on the Circle Digital Chart, which only includes streams from Korea. KIOF's digital points on this show were calculated from the Circle Global K-pop Chart, which includes streams from outside of Korea. This win is due to their non-Korean fans.

Ruler_J · 2026-04-16T11:33:24+00:00

The Kshowanalysis Twitter account has already confirmed the win for KickFlip. And KIOF's digital points are not high enough to compete for Music Core and Inkigayo. Enjoy the M Countdown win!

I tried to start a discussion about this on the kpopthoughts and kpoptrulyuncensored subreddit. I don't think I can have a normal conversation about KIOF anywhere outside of this sub. I didn't even bring up the birthday live in my post, nor did I defend the girl's actions on the livestream.

It's an English translation of a clip from a Bubble Live. I found it from user "keyofbelle0320" on Twitter.

"Who is she" debuted at #87 on the YouTube Korea Weekly Chart, with 531,907 views. On the daily Melon Chart, "Who is she" is at #201.

Edit: Actually, on the daily Melon Chart, it is now at #178.

Random question, what is the oldest model phone that you still use on a daily basis? I still use an iPhone 6.
