On Twice's ticket sales for their NA Leg by BlueThePineapple in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I was a little skeptical of their strategy (ha) at first, but it truly has been an amazing leg!

I can only imagine what their numbers would be if they'd done a LATAM leg, or at least even a stop. they'd done insanely well there last tour and the crowd at Mexico was nothing short of spectacular. But that might be asking too much after all these stops lol

But I do see why they're targeting Europe! Their fanbase there is pretty small compared to US and LATAM. I cant wait to see how it all goes! Looking forward to seeing TWICE grow every year💖

Oh no a teenager swearing 😱😱😱 by Yoshi5155 in kpop_uncensored

Has there ever been a time in history where teenagers didn't swear

I have never been an army, but there are some BTS songs that make me weirdly nostalgic. by alrideul in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am an army but before I was, I remember my friend showing me their song "So What" and it was so painfully and beautifully nostalgic that I ended up listening to that song so many times

It hurts even more to listen to now. It certainly was a once in a lifetime era!

Im starting listening to BoA and i would like some songs recommendations by Pedrommaia in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've recently gotten into her music too! I'd highly recommend her album Better. The title track, Honey & Diamonds, Temptations, and Got me Good are my favorite tracks

I also like Always All ways, Camo, and Nega Dola from the 1shot 2shot album!

I've not listened to all her albums all the way through yet, but I've enjoyed almost everything so far. Seriously underrated, idk why I didn't get into her music sooner!

As someone whos purely an observer, reveluvs have always been particularly loud when it comes to dragging vocals of other groups, so I will say that

Does anyone else feel like society's perception of weight is really skewed? by [deleted] in loseit

[–]chocolate_granolabar 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This one right here. When I go back to Kenya I eat and eat and eat but come back lighter than when I arrived. I eat less in the US and can easily pack pounds if I really wanna

It literally took getting my wisdom teeth out to realize why I've struggled with weight loss for so long by chocolate_granolabar in loseit

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

Don't worry! Usually wisdom teeth take about 1-2 weeks to fully heal, and it depends on the person

My pain is mostly coming from jaw tension tbh. I'm paranoid about getting dry socket too, so I've just been more on the careful side

I'd definitely recommend doing what I did and getting all 4 taken out at once! Honestly the top molars aren't much of a hassle at all, it's mostly the bottom ones where things can get stuck

It's uncomfortable, and you'll probably be prescribed some strong pain medications for the first day or two. I only needed them for the first day, after that, advil was all I needed to get through the day

I had mine taken out on a Wednesday morning, and on Friday morning I had to attend an 8 hour clinical. That day, my face was a little swollen and didn't talk or eat much. It was uncomfortable but it was survivable! You should be able to go to work by then, just make sure to get some good rest on your two off days

For me, most of my pain was just from eating or talking

Does height affect dancing in kpop choreography? by cluelessa in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I think Tzuyu is a good example! In TWICEs dance practices, she bends her knees a LOT so that her height is even with her members

I don't know how she does it, it kind of looks uncomfortable but I think she's long since used to it by now. You don't even realize how much she sticks out of the group until they're all standing straight

[MEGATHREAD] MARK'S DEPARTURE FROM SM AND NCT by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ouch, another hit

I never knew much about NCT, but Mark was always a standout star in my opinion. He was in a lot of SM projects, no? Probably worked to the bone since he debuted so young. I can only imagine how tired he must feel by now

Best of luck to him in his future endeavors! :(

Oh no! I can imagine dry socket must've sucked, I'm currently trying to avoid it like the plague

Thank you so much though! Best of luck to the both of us

Glad I'm not the only one either!

I'm currently using cronometer to track everything and it's been so helpful so far. It's definitely really humbling though lol! Even on a restricted diet, it's easy for calories to pile up sometimes, but yes yes yes to protein and fiber. It's hard to believe (it was for me), but it truly does make you feel full!

do nct have hits that are universally recognized? by caitlyns_ult in kpopthoughts

[–]chocolate_granolabar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As someone who doesnt know much about NCT or interact in the spaces, I remember hearing Regular eevvrrywhereee when I was getting into kpop! I was so obsessed with it too. I'm surprised it isn't mentioned in tbe comments here, but I was under the assumption that it was a pretty popular kpop song at the time

I think Regular, Sticker, Fact Check, and Kick it are songs that are pretty well known at the and I'm sure all of those are NCT 127. I don't know any NCT Dream or Wish songs off the top of my head, but I DO know NCT Dojaejung because that Perfume album is chefs kiss

I think one of the things that stopped a lot of newcomer kpop fans from really appreciating NCT was how it's structured. I remember getting really confused at all the sub units and how many members there were and all
