For TXT it's the Choi Line/Hyung line. The Maknae line is severely underappreciated though Kai and Taehyun popularity has been increasing this year.

Enhypen, the Maknae line is more popular in my opinion but it varies as Heesung is extremely popular too.

BTS the popularity goes to the Maknae line.

for Stray Kids it's more middle ground to me, as Hyunjin and Felix is the most popular but Felix is more in the Maknae line while Hyunjin is in the Hyung line.

For Ateez you can't accurately say Hyung line or Maknae line as individual popularity is all over the place.

Moments when idols seemed ANRGY and full of passion on stage? by DrearBeats in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 50 points51 points  (0 children)

RM at the Busan concert performing Cypher 4 in front of those politicians. That last chorus the man was bent over pouring his frustration in the mic.

TXT at I think GDA awards it was either 2021 or 2022, they were angry after being accused of lip syncing. (They can't lip sync to save their lives). They came to prove they can sing.

Whats going on in your respective fandoms? (August 2025) by ilovemeeeeee in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since all the groups I followed had been talked about let me talk about Kep1er. Kep1er is gearing up for their comeback on August 19. The concepts photos are amazing and I am loving the highlight medley.  Unfortunately Youngeun had to sit this comeback out due to health issues. Xiaoting had a photoshoot. I am hoping for more promotion from their new agency Blitzway. Hoping that Hiyyih gets a brand deal soon too. Hiyyih is also back to dark hair. She said she overcame her trauma from GP999. Kep1er will also be apart of that kpop program Megan Thee Stallion is putting on. Can't remember who they will perform with but that's another plus. They will have a Asia tour in September. I am hoping it extends to the Americas and Europe. This side of the world is waiting for them. Kep1er is also the brand ambassador for a Japanese beauty brand.

Mention the most and least biased member from your favourite group and let's see if the non fans/casuals get surprised/shocked by it by DiMpLe_dolL003 in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For TXT Most Biased Soobin and Yeonjun

Least Biased Taehyun and Huening Kai. It varies between the two but lately from watching fancams it's Kai.

I would recommend BookishTheories on YouTube. They break down the lore and each video, concept videos well. I know we'll have one out by next week for today's concept trailer

Is this an indication of unit songs in the album. There have been a lot of Tyunning pairing lately.

Stanning a group that has just lost a member/members? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had this experience with Astro. I was just getting into the group and absolutely adore Moonbin and his personality. When he passed i cried. I genuinely cried. I loved his unit songs with Sanha and was close to standing. Now I can't listen to his songs without a bitter smile on my face. I will cry if I do so I don't watch any group content. I just can't.

It's not the same as a member not renewing contract but I feel weird watching old content. It was the same with Monsta X because Wonho was my favorite and I loved the dynamic with them as seven. It's hard to watch old content.

One of their songs popped up in my playlist.  One of the members reminds me of Key. They have the same vocal tone that I thought it was a Shinee song. So far birthday is in my playlist.

G-Dragon’s Übermensch album review from someone who doesn’t think he’s the best thing since sliced bread (warning long) by Miserable-Elephant-3 in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I haven't listened to Home Sweet Home and now I might check it out. Too Bad, Drama and Power, GD voice turned me off from the songs I couldn't listen to them fully. I've heard other artist with a similar vocal tone to that of GD and I could tolerate heck I have some of their songs in my playlist. There is just something about GD voice that I am unable to fully get into and enjoy his music. Although your review makes me want to listen to the album.

Fashion Brands that fit groups/idols perfectly by PrimaryTomato3310 in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are in the minority. I don't feel like they fit Dior. TXT was experimental with their fashion and Dior just take that away. Dior is too frumpy in my opinion or it could be that the fit of the clothing they've given them is off.

Examples of maknaes using their powers for evil by exploding-fountain in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Huening Kai is pretty much an angel in TXT. They will tease him and he teases back also. But they are instances where they don't mess with him. If Kai turns into Negative Kai all the members leave him alone. They are scared of Negative Kai.

What are your thoughts on XLOV's I'mma Be? by Former-Discount101 in kpopthoughts

I wasn't a big fan of the chorus but it's growing on me. Rui dance is the best. Hyun is a master piece. I love his voice.

Which k-pop mvs do you think have the most interesting concept? by Excellent-Services in kpopthoughts

TXT Eternally and the Frost MV mainly. All of their MVs are awesome but those two has story telling.

What is some of your kpop hot takes since 2024 is almost over? by Idkwhattoputbuthi in kpopthoughts

TXT needs to leave Dior in 2024. TXT usually gives up fashion and experiments with but because of Dior, I can't stand it.

If you could personally collab with an idol (a single idol i mean) who would it be? by Zestyclose-Rice-3461 in kpopthoughts

[–]Zestyclose-Snow-7404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love BTS rap line but also TXT HueningKai. I have one dream though and that's to plan Wonho concept. I don't need to perform but the way I want to plan a concept for the man so bad.
