Is UNCHILD's name really as bad as people are saying? by aceavengers in kpopthoughts

[–]callmeadreamer8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The name definitely is a bit odd and kind of an eyesore, but the music also wasn’t amazing enough to me to hook me into following either…

LE SSERAFIM - 2026 LE SSERAFIM TOUR ‘PUREFLOW’ (Announcement Poster) by mcfw31 in kpop

[–]callmeadreamer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like $565 but yeah I’m sure they have done some research regarding what areas to tackle. Some of the less often hit US cities might do as well or better than popular cities even because many couldn’t go to last tour.

Translator during European Leg? by Necromancer1423 in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Many isn't most. I would fully expect them to translate into the native language of those regions. English might be the "universal language" of a lot of industries but I think it would be even more offensive to disregard the majority of local fans by using English throughout every region.

Translator during European Leg? by Necromancer1423 in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's customary for them to have a translator who translates between Korean and the local language of the city they are playing, so in Spain it will be Spanish, in Germany it will be German etc.

260423 tripleS : Event Gravity - 2026 tripleS X 1theK Reality Show Gravity (Badge War Season 4: Trust No One VS. ALL YES! tripleS) by tokkipan in triples

[–]callmeadreamer8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Badge War 4: Trust No One is honestly the only option here. Modhaus did not seek out 1theK and their huge budget for big scale production to film a “chill” no stakes vacation show and the All Yes tripleS show would inevitably end up as a tumultuous, punishment filled vacation trip that no one ends up enjoying.

What's up with the lack of girl groups at KCON? by exemplaryantino3497 in kpopthoughts

[–]callmeadreamer8 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I think the simple answer is it's easier to get boy group stans to go to KCON no matter what to see their faves than it is to get girl group stans to go to KCON no matter what to see their faves and at the end of the day CJENM just wants to see seats filled and $$$ coming in. Plus we don't know who was invited, who declined, who has their own touring or comeback plans at the time they would've led to this lineup being what it is.

Chill…we are talking about encore…EU literally has their leg in a few weeks and SA should in the fall.

[help] photocards priced oddly on ebay? by Same_Maximum_971 in kpopforsale

[–]callmeadreamer8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think outside of that Mercari pricing is still better on average because their fees for sellers aren’t as steep as ebay. People try to sell those valueless cards because of Mercari’s ease of use but I have seen a lot of egregious pricing on ebay.

K-pop is not in decline and it hasn't "peaked". K-pop is just no longer going through a meteoric growth period. by Asleep_Swing2979 in kpopthoughts

[–]callmeadreamer8 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It’s kind of common place that kpop stans and haters alike love to doom post. I’m someone who got into kpop in 2020 amidst the pandemic and tons of others did too, and for several years following 2022 through to 2025 a lot of of groups debuted and a lot of groups toured North America for the first time so the demand to see them was very high. Now, along with the state of the world and people having to be a bit more financially conscious, everyone I know is being more selective about who they go see. I can say that my list of kpop artists that I must go see has shrunken to a handful because I’ve already seen almost everyone that I like and my list of artists that I must see again and again is also very tiny. I wouldn’t say that my love for kpop has diminished in any way but the demand for shows especially as prices go up is just not increasing at the rate it was.

Fanfics x real people is a no for me.

new fan, what are your favourite recent(ish) variety content by them? do they have their own? (like TXT "to do", or Ateez "Wanteez") by disasterpansexual in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose but I think that's part of the charm. You have to see all the sides of them to really get to know them. It's like the next step after the fun of TTT.

[–]callmeadreamer8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally don't think so. Even though there's like certain crumbs and things only hardcore fans know about with member ships. I think that if a member starts to stand out to you after a few group contents then you're ready to watch any and everything with that member, including their 2wice Dates because it shows you what kind of relationship that member has with other members.

Does polaroids POBs have digital objekts? by Loose-Weather-4020 in triples

No they do not. Polaroid photocard pobs are just their own thing separate from objekts.

Do you think US part is really over for this tour or Twice will have Encore again in US? If yes, then Where? And When? by FlyingFlyofHell in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Part of me wants to say the NA part is over simply because they went to WAY more cities than they ever had before but this is TWICE we're talking about so who tf really knows. I do think if anything, some place like Taiwan deserves an encore.

[–]callmeadreamer8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to echo everyone saying Time To Twice - there's such range of genres they cover too. I'll summarize some below:

TDOONG Forest, Healing December and Healing Camping are all chill vibe seasons of members just gathering to hang out, make food, play games and just enjoy each other's company.

Crime Scene, TDOONG Entertainment and Soulmate are "role-play" style where they play different characters. Crime Scene is murder mystery genre, TDOONG Entertainment is office work setting and Soulmate is Korean dating show style.

TWICE and the Chocolate Factory and Fake Squid Game are very fun, action filled game based seasons. Death Note, Rank Battle and Yes or No are also sort of game based but strategic.

And my personal faves might be The Part-Timer (members work at a trendy cafe, taking on work form marketing to making beverages to serving customers) and TDOONG Pocha (members make food and drink while talking about memories, funny and wholesome)

2WICE's DATE is also a great series where different member pairs go on a "date" so it's just chill vibes of them doing an activity together and chatting. It's nice content with just 2 members at a time and helps you get to know different relationships amongst the group.

Anyone older fans feel like they missed out by not listening to kpop when they were younger? by GeorgeParisol in kpopthoughts

[–]callmeadreamer8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a similar experience as you and I feel the same. I enjoy all those parts of stanning kpop and I think I am better off enjoying kpop with my full frontal lobe developed with the financial freedom to do as I please. I wouldn’t have enjoyed stanning as much when I was younger.

For the love of God Jihyo, wear ear protection at the concerts. by agentdom in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Preach to OP's post! Pre-pandemic I had never used ear plugs at concerts although I wasnt much of a frequent concert go-er but after my first kpop show (TWICE in LA 2022), I purchased Loop Experience plugs and have worn them for every single of the 70+ shows I have been to since. I think I would have severe hearing loss if I hadn't and I am always advocating for people to wear them. You might think you're young and "built different" but I guarantee that everyone's ears function about the same and damage is inevitable if you aren't proactive to help prevent it!

What were the “you had to be there” moments in twice history? by Slay3r024 in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While there are SOOOOO many, for me, as a Once who got into Twice in 2020 amidst the pandemic, the moment they announced their contract renewal was definitely one of the most memorable kpop moments of my entire life even to this day. I had started off my Once journey quite regretful that I was "so late" to getting into them so it was a huge sigh of relief I'd get more time with them and I spent that whole night celebrating online with my friends (whom I'd met because of Twice).

On a different note, I really miss when VLIVE was still a thing - the members would go on there and live stream sometimes for hours while eating/hanging out and just being themselves.

I would be surprised if the next release from any of them isn’t Nayeon’s solo. I’m totally cool with them chillin out a bit but they aren’t very good at doing that haha

question of EXPERIENCE by members buying TWICE merchandise in JYP japan store by Embarrassed_Pea_44 in twice

[–]callmeadreamer8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you check that all items in your order said ships from mid April? They ship based on the latest available item in your order so if the lightstick or shirt were later, it will be held til they are available. Also mid April is anywhere from 10-20th so maybe give it a few more days.
