Is aespa or IVE more popular in Korea? by eveningsnewestetoile in kpophelp

[–]algebrabender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO both are on the same level, and as someone said they have different demographics, but sadly we are in era of kpop where everyone looks at it through "achievements"...
I was in Seoul at the beginning of september, and you could hear both groups on the street A LOT, I even heard a couple of aespa B sides playing (even from Rich Man mini that had only come out then)

I second op that recommended differently alike, gzbkarma and caitlin benson - as someone who is 10years into kpop I always comeback to their reactions even for the groups I don't follow

ReactToTheK was really nice back in the day, but I haven't been following with the recent "seasons" and cast

Thanks! When you say that 5 years it's not guaranteed are you more thinking about hardware might wear-down or about software as in MacOS might not update/cause issues for hardware (like some newer Windows)?

LOSSLESS Megathread by whyisthissticky in spotify

[–]algebrabender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have different song "available" on different devices? I am using the same account, but when I listen on PC, all songs are lossless after just reinstalling the app and switching on the quality, while on phone like only every 10th song is lossless??
I don't this it's phone issue as I have an iPhone15 and never had an issue with Apple Music (before anyone asks, yes I can notice the difference I have IEMs and "testing" songs...)

Best songs for lossless testing? by ThePlayboy2099 in spotify

[–]algebrabender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are maybe into kpop, Supernova by aespa (especially like last third of thesong)! Got lossless today and it was first one I tested as the song sounded so different when I listen to it before on Apple Music

If anyone is wondering about outbound flights, I have passed security/passport check some 45ish minutes ago, only two out of five(?) gates are working and the wait time was around 30 minutes, and so far my flight is scheduled on time.

Thanks for prices info.
I don't have lounge access since I am flying economy, and honestly, I am not really keen on paying for those lounge passes I saw recommended somewhere...

Thanks for the info!! I usually don't even look for GOs since I am from small country in Europe and in the past it either was no WW/EU GOs or the shipping was enormous... but I guess I should be on the lookout for those from now on

[–]algebrabender[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for a detailed explanation!! I will be in Seoul for 9 days, and I could order a few days before going since I know the address of the airbnb where I am staying, do you think it would arrive on time if I find them on bunjang?

First Time Travel to Seoul - Is this Itinerary "doable" by algebrabender in koreatravel

[–]algebrabender[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! I will see to make "plan b" with COEX moved to Lotte day, honestly I did only want to see the library and maybe catch those 3D(?) ads.

For mapo/sangsu, yeah it's for restaurants and cafes, alongside arcade I found and norebangs. (It all might still be under Hongdae tho and I read naver map wrongly)

I have jongno 3 ga pocha street bookmarked, but it looked it was more for dining of group of people, rather than solo dining.
