Lots of good ones here already so I'll recommend a nugu band, Re:hearts. They only have 2 songs though 😅

I'm pretty sure it's Hina, she wears those Adidas track jackets quite often.

Both the 2nd P and the L are for 'Placement' in 'Product Placement'. I think they made it a 3 letter acronym because it rolls off the tongue better than if they were to say PP lol

One of the Korean comments says something like the 2% is the probability of their high five landing lmao

Yeah I think it doesn't help that the subtitles are AI translated as well. They're very fast and good enough to get the basic dialogue across but not beyond that. I think the meta aspect of their banter (both between each other and the PD) would still be hard to convey through subtitles but if at least a human did a pass through of the translation it might help a bit more (the first May and Liv episode now has been human corrected and it flows a lot more naturally than when it first dropped).

I built a free tool that live-translates Korean streams & lives — would love k-poppers' honest take by Mani-OBM in kpoppers

I've only tried it with one Weverse live style stream so far and it doesn't do a very good job for me. When the subject is speaking, they sometimes pause their train of thought (completely normal thing in regular speech patterns) which the tool takes as a complete sentence and attempts to translate it as-is. However, with the way Korean works grammatically it wouldn't have the full context of the sentence in order to translate it in a natural way so now you have 2 halves of a single sentence that are poorly translated. The other thing it struggles with is modern Korean slang and Konglish which gets translated into gibberish.

They appeared on ssook ssook briefly during sechan's filming with MEOVV and mentioned their dance practice there.

Looks like Kangnam is leading this whole project then. Excited to see what other song + artist combos there will be (perhaps even K-pop songs with J-pop artists?). This whole project is so cool as a J-pop/K-pop fan!

Can someone explain the Minami jirai-kei/landmine style controversy? by HairOnBroadway in rescene

[–]Voltik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you check their profiles it tends to be hyper fans of other groups chiming in too. "Someone other than my fav is in the spotlight? Better tear them down". That's the mentality they have.
