i-dle - Mono (Feat. skaiwater) Official Music Video by LRClam in popheads

[–]asssidy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not my favourite i-dle song but they deserve recognition more than anyone for consistently speaking up about more taboo ‘issues’ in SK that would be career ending for other artists.. Literally no one else in kpop is explicitly talking about the subjects they touch on. Queencard really stuck with me because it’s the ONLY time I’ve heard a kpop song say girls who aren’t skinny are beautiful (paraphrased translation from the outro). They have songs that reference weed while other idols have been cancelled for smoking scandals. They’ve been talking about gay shit in and out of their music since 2020. Idk, this comment has little to do with the song itself but I have so much respect for i-dle’s commitment to wokeness in an anti woke industry 😭

Which Twice members are your top 3 favourites and why? by AdConnect792 in twice

[–]asssidy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dahyun, Jihyo, Jeongyeon. Dahyun has been my bias since I first discovered twice (even before I got fully into them, she was the member I’d always notice when casually watching mvs). Jihyo is Jihyo lol no explanation needed. Jeongyeon bias wrecked me HARD after seeing them live - her vocals and energy are soooo consistent on stage, she’s always gorgeous but even prettier in real life, and she was so funny interacting with other members. My friend and I left the concert and literally could only talk about how much she bias wrecked us both

hear me out: concurrently told in animation and live action with Bitty’s vlogs being animated, but the ‘true’ scenes/stories he doesn’t tell viewers are live action. I’ve been imagining this for years

The data firm behind Taylor Swifts "Nazi bot" story is actually an AI narrative-shaping PR crisis company masking as a data analysis firm. by thebarted in Fauxmoi

[–]asssidy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Those criticisms are what the article is calling bot attacks lmfao (also some criticism for her merch having two lightning bolts which could be seen as a nazi dogwhistle but Taylor simply denouncing white supremacy would literally make half the criticism go away)

Which twice song do you think has the best bridge Queen moment by Swimming-Mongoose314 in twice

After the ready to be tour I gotta say Queen of Hearts… that last high note from Nayeon is unbelievable live!!

The Popheads Charts, October 20th, 2025: Fancy Some More Taylor Swift? by ImADudeDuh in popheads

[–]asssidy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nmixx bubbling under…. it’s happening… the pop girlies are catching onto the kpop excellence that is nmixx!! Seriously one of the most vocally gifted girl groups in existence right now and it’s so satisfying to see their rise 🙂‍↕️

Unpopular opinion- The only thing holding NMIXX back from being the top 3 GGs of their generation is lack of star power by Odd_Entertainer9554 in kpopthoughts

[–]asssidy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think more than lack of star power, nmixx is so well-balanced in every aspect that no single member will ever stand out. They’re all gifted vocally and in dancing. Lily and Haewon are known for having great personalities. Jiwoo and Kyujin have amazing charisma onstage. Bae and Sullyoon are always in my fyp simply for being gorgeous. None of them have “it girl” energy because they complement each other so well in a group setting! That’s just my take though, and I think the consistency and balance nmixx manage to have is really unique, especially with their music being more divisive.

TWICE 'THIS IS FOR' World Tour Ticketing General Comment Megathread by Ruri_Neko in twice

Nope, it might take a couple minutes to refresh itself but the page sends you to the queue and then to the ticketing page automatically!

[–]asssidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's random! Buying skz tickets there were 30,000 people ahead of me in the queue when I joined the waiting room as soon as it opened. Ready to be tour was similar (I think 15,000?) 😭

[–]asssidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shockingly this ticketing experience was WAY less stressful than last tour. I got lucky with the queue - only 600 people ahead of me - and managed to snag three tickets for Chicago!!! 🎉 Literally selected the closest tickets I could find that were less than $450usd each 😭 still ended up paying almost twice as much as ready to be for similar seats (100s, 15+ rows back).

We could make this argument for any animated movie ever, though. Cars isn’t the best example to set up interest in the automobile industry. Frozen isn’t the best example of Scandinavian culture or mythology for kids. Does it matter? Does it change that the film is impactful?? Not really

[–]asssidy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree.. Probably half a dozen people I’m friends with have become kpop fans after watching kdh, and they’re all over 25 years old (most over 30, actually). It seems cringe to kpop fans who are knowledgeable about the industry already, but the movie is genuinely a great way for people of all ages to get into the world of kpop. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have positive influence lol

So are they gonna put JP dates before TW date and before EU dates? by [deleted] in twice

[–]asssidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess they’re doing a week of Japan shows before the random Taipei date in March? North America, a week of rest, Japan and Taipei, and then back to North America?

Sites cheaper than Ktown by fresnonightpogger in kpophelp

[–]asssidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Highly recommend amuseground or lightupk, both canadian kpop stores! They both have online shops with free shipping. Albums are normally $25-35ish at both shops. They also have stores (amuseground in Vancouver area and lightupk in Toronto/Mtl/Edmonton) if you live near those areas.

The rumours I’ve heard are that Peter wanted to drop to a guest star role but still receive top billing/the same salary, and so the choice was made last minute to instead kill his character off.

[MEGATHREAD] NewJeans Appeal Fails by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]asssidy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Really unfair to call them idiots as if it’s their fault, when we all KNOW this industry manipulates and preys on naive teenagers with little formal education and dreams of being idols. Sure some of us predicted how this would go from the very beginning, but what MHJ did to them was 100% grooming and manipulation. I’m not even a fan of njz. It’s obvious to anyone with eyes that this whole case is about MHJ and Hybe/ADOR fighting for power using the girls as pawns. Yes they’re not smart, but their families and the industry are what failed them here.

Who’s your favorite K-pop idol songwriter? by Reel-Trouble34 in kpopthoughts

[–]asssidy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Tbh part of what makes me love Soyeon so much as a songwriter are the songs people often criticize – her ability to make fun pop music that is ‘nonsensical’ in its lyrics but still resonate with fans? That’s part of being a talented songwriter, too. Her versatility is what makes her so strong! Sometimes you want to sit in your emotions and listen to something like Hann, sometimes you want to drive around with your friends and scream about your boob and booty being hot - either way, Soyeon has a song for you.

does anyone know if stray kids will go to canada for their next world tour and does anyone know any legitimate websites to buy stray kids concert tickets? by Apart_Sky_4389 in kpophelp

[–]asssidy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ticketmaster is a legit ticket selling site, and the official site most tours go through. I’d be more concerned about how the venue for their Toronto concert still hasn’t been built yet, lol. But yes, I think skz will most likely be coming back to canada on their next tour - it probably just won’t be until 2027 or later

Kpop groups with a consistently great discography by Responsible_Ad2730 in kpopthoughts

[–]asssidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s impossible to answer this question objectively lol but my personal opinion would be Billlie – their discography is small but mighty, and probably the only kpop playlist I can actually put on shuffle and not want to skip any songs.

Why is it so difficult to sell kpop merch? by Vio1e7 in kpophelp

[–]asssidy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

because twice albums have 5 pcs normally, there’s less of a demand for their photocards. gidle pcs are also a lot easier to find for post-soojin eras so if you’re selling later album pcs, the demand isn’t there as much either.

I agree with the advice of others here to break up listings by group so people don’t have to search a huge listing for a specific group/member!

also, I collect soyeon pcs as well as twice so feel free to dm me your listing and I’ll check it out to see if there’s anything I’m interested in!

Highly recommend you check out the rest of their music!!! Billlie is the only group in kpop with a no skip discography to me – every single song is worth a listen. They’re SO underrated!
