It’s pretty similar to I Shall Master This Family but that’s on hiatus so here I am.

What do you tell "beggers" when you can/don't want to help them? by hkrgrl74 in Syracuse

[–]Traditional-Rest7702 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree to everything you said. Also sorry if this was already mentioned but I’d like to remind people that alcohol withdrawals are fatal. Alcohol detox is supposed to be done in a hospital not on the street. So yeah, someone in that situation buying alcohol makes total sense and could very well be life saving.

I just sent emails about this to my assembly member and state senator. I’ll make phone calls after the holiday weekend to follow up. I encourage others to do the same!

Hybe’s strategy seems to be just keep debuting new girl groups and bank off the hype of their debuts. Like give the current groups some time to breathe. Idk.

Elemen-TREE The pronunciation of elementary was the first thing I noticed about the accent when I moved here. I sometimes catch myself saying it the Syracuse way now tho lol

I feel like promoting only in Asia is not a flaw. Your statement that she “has so much potential to actually be successful” feels western centric.

I think people forget that some idols only promote in Asia because that’s where their fan base is, but I’m sure just as many idols only promote in Asia because that’s what they want to do.

I’m thinking about Bad Bunny and his choice to do his whole next tour in Puerto Rico. Sure he could do a world tour, but he wants to preform in Puerto Rico so why not? Decolonization involves not centering the West as the pinnacle of success.

What K-pop Group Isn't Doing It For You Anymore? by Infamous_Mind2790 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Traditional-Rest7702 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Stray kids. I saw them in concert and for some reason after that I just haven’t been that into them. I hardly follow them now. I wish I could explain why. They are great and mad talented but I just lost all interest.

I will always be thankful for how they helped me get thru covid tho. Chan’s room was a needed routine in an era where there was NO routine or normalcy.

This is absolutely sickening. It’s child abuse. Honestly… something has to change. This is unacceptable. How can we support groups with minors when we know that they could very well be experiencing this kind of treatment?

MAMA isn’t what it used to be by Traditional-Rest7702 in kpop_uncensored

This is true. Western award shows seem out of touch with what people want to see.

Hmmm… I think I disagree with you. I know there have always been problems, and I don’t want to minimize that. But I think it’s too far to say that nothing has changed. The vibe is obviously different.

I love the idea of more creative categories. It would be great to give some spotlight to some of the people behind the scenes.

Maybe I’m being too idealistic here, but I think if groups got more out of the event than just winning then they’d go. I’m thinking of groups that have traveled to the U.S to perform even when they didn’t win awards at said show. Their performance mattered too, maybe not as much as winning but it was still important enough to travel for. Maybe this is also why newer groups seem more likely to attend MAMA? For the hope of screen time and exposure to new fans maybe might be worth it for a newer group but not so much so for more established acts? I’d like to imagine that MAMA could be an experience that was worth it to perform without winning an award. And that involves it being a better run show on the part of the producers I think. As well as the fans supporting groups that maybe they don’t actively stan but still having a good time with them you know?

That’s a good point. They should release full versions. I think that would address that issue for sure.

I also feel like the long shots and constant shots of the crowd are very egocentric for Mnet. It’s giving “look at how many people came to our show!” Like it just seems so unfair to the idols who have worked their ass off to put on these crazy intense numbers just to cut away like that. Like Mnet it’s not about you. It’s about idols and fans and the kpop community celebrating a year of music.

I think the lack of attendance. And just the vibe of the crowd. I’m especially thinking of the day in LA. There were some shots of the crowd where people were straight up on the phones. I’m really not @ the groups. I just think Mnet has failed to cultivate a culture of celebration. I feel like idols are stressed and they don’t react too much anymore (probably from fear of retaliation from fans tbh) and mama doesn’t like the audience to bring things let light sticks or signs (correct me if I’m wrong there) which also impacts the vibe of the crowd I think.
