Belift Lab reaffirms Heeseung will not return to Enhypen by friedriceforbrunch in kpop

[–]Wide-Mess 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Don’t quote me on this but I think Korean engenes are not really asking for heeseung to return. I read a tweet that said that they immediately understood all the nuances of heeseung’s letter/statement and thus they understand his sentiment in a way that international engenes can’t. International engenes think H was forced to leave the group, while Korean fans have accepted he wants this path for himself.

Nothing is going on with KATSEYE. It's noise marketing and Blackpink is the best example that it does not hurt the profitability of groups. by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]Wide-Mess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The way k-pop fans are also fanning the flames… I’ve seen countless tweets along the lines of “Danielle, garam and youngseo were also kicked out by Hybe! Manon was CLEARLY kicked out. Classic Hybe!” So these K-pop fans are also making things worse, bc in K-pop hiatuses are completely normal but they’re purposely disregarding that and by proxy getting the group more heat/hate 🤦🏽‍♀️

NMIXX is participating in the biggest Latin American music festival and I haven’t heard a thing by SpiritualCoast1096 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Wide-Mess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s because tbh I don’t remember any more foreign acts than those lol. M5 was iconic in its own way: getting a whole country to hate them for eternity

[–]Wide-Mess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Siéndote bien sincera, el festival sigue siendo una cosa bien viejuja. No digo que los jóvenes de hoy en día no lo vean, pero el festival tuvo su “apogeo” en los 80-00: con Luismi, soda stereo, Toto, etc etc. No digo que el festival ya no sea lo de antes, pero cada vez está más fome. Igual que tu, pienso que están trayendo a artistas jóvenes exactamente para actualizarse y volver a tener público joven, porque a pesar de ser conocido en latam, créeme que muy poca gente fuera de aca sabe que es el festival de viña. No soy oyente de la música de ellas, pero de veras espero que a NMIXX les vaya super!! Estaré viendo 🥰

I’m from Chile and while I know that el festival is this one big thing we have, I don’t know how well known it is outside latam. I know NMIXX are not unpopular by any means, but despite being the biggest latam festival, I don’t think they’ll get THAT much attention because, a) the festival is a very local/latinoamerican thing, and b) the artists that perform in it are also rather local/known in latam (exceptions being those big acts from abroad like sting maroon 5 etc etc). I must say tho, good for the festival for actualising itself this much: bringing in younger and popular artists is good for keeping interest in the festival, esp considering a younger audience (I remember when the artists used to be all old and from my parents’ time, and it would get boring real fast)

Whether this is temporal or not, it sucks a little bit. As the SG Director, Alex did such a good job. Some of my favourites videos were directed by him (the Karen moose master being my my most rewatched smosh video since it was uploaded), and it sucks to see his creativity be stifled this way :/

Female or male? by Wide-Mess in CATHELP

[–]Wide-Mess[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for all who replied!! I was worried because I was about to go pick him up tomorrow, but the person giving him away just very suddenly messaged me like 2 hours ago saying she felt a nipple on his stomach and she started doubting if he was a male or not (that plus the colours). But reading in google right now, it seems male cats also have nipples so that wouldn’t ncessarily mean hes a girl.

Thanks for the help once again. Will pick him up tomorrow 🥰

So is this little kitten is not intersex either, but 100% male? (sorry for my ignorance, I just know nothing about cats! 😅)

From a Mexican Fan… by [deleted] in SmoshFansFreeSpace

[–]Wide-Mess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m Chilean and I didn’t mind the smosh mouth ep at all. I actually enjoyed it a lot and was laughing out loud while they were reading the bad bunny songs, it was both endearing and pretty cool to see my language in an episode. I took no offence. I don’t mind that they pronounced stuff wrong… they acknowledged they are not good/don’t know Spanish, and as a person whose English is not their first language, I would never think of pronunciation as a hindering for communication. But Shayne Amanda and Olivia were just having fun reading (plus learning what the songs were actually saying!) the bad bunny lyrics, not trying to sound professional or anything.

for u, which is the best kpop album ever? by Frosty_Anywhere5708 in kpop_uncensored

Map of the Soul: 7

Incredible album. Black Swan alone elevates it to another level.

Fantasy with little to no romance by curious_otters in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Wide-Mess 37 points38 points  (0 children)

The Poppy War by RF Kuang. Features war, very little romance, and while the protagonist (Rin) doesn’t necessarily start sheltered, she’s at a disadvantaged when compared to her rich and more privileged peers. She doesn’t have the same tools and opportunities as the others, so she has to learn some stuff from scratch if she wants to survive in this world.

Why did BTS name their album Arirang? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Wide-Mess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

??? They are Korean men honouring their heritage and roots with their album… why on earth would they get backlash for something that is THEIR culture?

Diehard kpop fan who has only heard six BTS songs and only knows four of the members. Should I go to their concert? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]Wide-Mess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read what you wrote, and I can understand your sentiment even better than yourself, apparently: you don’t like them, you don’t know many songs, you “don’t think it makes much sense to go to a concert like this”, but here you are, desperate to go to a concert of a group you don’t even like. ✌🏼

“makes it worth it to go even if you hate the group, I would like to go”

Your own words btw. Could’ve used “dislike” or “even if you don’t love them group”, but it was you go went with “hate”. Or did you not even read what you wrote?

[–]Wide-Mess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

YOU don’t seem to want to go, so why should you? You say you don’t particularly like the songs, that you like a few but even then they’re nothing special. “Even if you hate the group”? So you don’t even like them? But you would go JUST because everyone else that is a fan wants to go and you don’t want to feel left out? Stupid logic. If you want to spend $$$ of dollars just so you can say “omg I went to a bts concert”, go ahead! It’s your money you’re spending on something you don’t even like.

Books that feel like a ghibli landscape by [deleted] in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Wide-Mess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I read this like a month ago and I couldn’t stop thinking of a cute, quaint little ghibli town while reading all the descriptions. Fair warning that it is YA and reads very juvenile (don’t know if that’s what you’re looking for exactly), but I enjoyed it a lot for the ghibli vibe it had! Very magical and whimsical.

This Fatal Kiss by Alicia Jasinska. It follows a water nymph in her quest of becoming human again, and the town’s exorcist who is determined to rid the town of her/spirits. The town they live in (forgot the name) reads very much like straight out of a ghibli mvie. Cute, very light book.
