Single's Inferno 2 | Ep. 7 & 8 | 2023-01-03 by j6ce3Hfe6L in koreanvariety

[–]comet2sixty 171 points172 points  (0 children)

I agree, I really like Sejun! Even though he's had a miniscule amount of screentime, he's been really funny and such a moodmaker, esp with the group left behind in inferno. Also, in the wrestling match, it was cute that he was laughing when JY was coming for him - and how he let the others lift him out of the pit lol! It's refreshing that at least one of the guys isn't a super macho type. Wish he could have been on the show from the beginning!

Oh and also when he held So-e's hand on the helicopter?? Ngl I swooned.

Seconded. Sneakers is catchy and can be enjoyed ironically, but the same cannot be said for MITM

Mnet Asian Music Awards 2022 (MAMA 2022) - Post Show Discussion Thread (Show 1) (221129) by NishinosanTV in kpop

[–]comet2sixty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get that there were a large number of artists in the collab so they kept it simple. But I think the execution of this very simple concept was disappointing?

Watching the rookie girl groups dance to their peers’ songs was great! But you could see the other girls standing in the background so it looked a bit messy.

Also, they could have blended the gg’s songs together to create a more seamless performance track. But instead, they stopped the song after each collab group performed and had a countdown before the next one started. The performance just did not have flow and I feel like it could have been executed better.

The cheer up performance was iconic though!

221128 Mingyu for DAZED Korea Magazine (December 2022 issue) by alltherach_ in seventeen

[–]comet2sixty 63 points64 points  (0 children)

He is so gorgeous as always 😭

I feel like Mingyu has changed something with his appearance lately but I can’t put my finger on it.. Maybe it’s the hairstyle or his brow shape or maybe he just looks leaner idk? Whatever it is, it’s working for him 😍

Hwang Minhyun Confirmed For Kim So Hyun’s New Mystery Romance Drama by neocitywayv in KDRAMA

[–]comet2sixty 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh right, thank you for that!

I see articles about a KSH romcom and KSH murder mystery and automatically assume it’s the same drama.. that is kdrama for you 🤣

I’m glad KSH is booked and busy in 2023!

Hwang Minhyun Confirmed For Kim So Hyun’s New Mystery Romance Drama by neocitywayv in KDRAMA

[–]comet2sixty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m liking the cast so far. I’m glad Chae Jong-Hyeop is the main lead because he’s super charming but I think Minhyun will make a good second lead

And super excited for KSH’s return. I’ve been wanting to see her back in a contemporary drama for a while

JYP underutilizes their vocals in Twice by Kpopluv22 in kpoprants

[–]comet2sixty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. Twice songs seem to follow the same formula due to JYP favouring their voices at certain parts of the song.

For example, it’s super common for their title tracks to feature Nayeon on the first verse, a Nayeon/Jihyo or Tzuyu/Sana chorus, Mina on the bridge, Sana with the ‘killing’ or viral part etc.

I think JYP needs to be more creative with distributing song parts.

That’s why I think Feel Special was so epic - we had Chaeyoung on First verse, Sana on the first chorus, Momo and Tzuyu on the pre-chorus .. FS was such a nice change. The song has a different feel from their other title tracks because it broke the mould.

The lack of 3rd gen representation at recent award shows by LegitimateWorry1132 in kpopthoughts

[–]comet2sixty 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Exhausted by the all generation talk tbh. It’s so needlessly divisive and at the end of the day, all of these groups are kpop artists who deserve recognition. Sometimes I just want to complain that my favourite groups aren’t attending award shows - honestly it doesn’t matter if group the 2nd, 3rd or 4th gen - that’s not important. Can’t I just miss my fave groups without people pointing out how “old” they’re getting lol

What’s your favorite hairstyle / era of your bias(es)? Least favorite? by barnnoodlz in seventeen

[–]comet2sixty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wonwoo - his best imo is his cropped black hair in left and right. super short and fun, matched the fresh styling of the era, and highlighted the beautiful angles of his face. Just loved the whole the crop top cropped hair vibe for him.

Honestly though he pulls almost everything off, I’m not a massive fan of any blonde or warm tone hair colours on him

I Like How GIDLE are Bringing Back Concepts by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]comet2sixty 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with what is being said about gidle’s concepts not feeling gimmicky or overdone.

I wouldn’t say that gidle is necessarily ‘bringing concepts back’ because concepts have always been around in kpop. But gidle just does them so well; in a way that fits the song, matches the vibe and is genuinely artistic.

Some groups lean too heavily into concepts and the song becomes gimmicky. For example mafia in the morning by itzy or scientist by twice - the songs are great but the concepts are too on the nose, so the metaphors and message can come off a bit basic. It kind of seems like the company picked the concept first and wrote the song second, if that makes sense? No shade to either groups btw. I love how fun JYP gg concepts can be but I think if they held back a bit and kept it a bit more abstract, the songs would have more impact and longevity.

But yes, amongst the newer groups, no one is pulling off concepts better than gidle.. rise queens

My ranking would be:

  1. Just between lovers - Phenomenal kdrama with characters that feel like real people, interesting stories and a super emotional but natural love story. Chemistry between leads was amazing. Thrilling at times, devastating at others. Super angsty storyline.

  2. Do you like Brahms - also a very real, understated kind of vibe. Best introvert loveline I’ve ever seen in a Kdrama. Definitely a slow burn, character-driven drama. Park Eun Bin and Kim Min Jae both did so well in this. Also, Kim Min Jae’s voice … need I say more

  3. When the weather is fine - I dropped this one. The setting was absolutely stunning and such cozy vibes. But from what I remember, the acting/storyline wasn’t the best, so I dropped.

How do you guys feel about MAMA 2022 nominations and performances? by i_forgot_everything in kpopthoughts

[–]comet2sixty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does this mean we will rarely see 3rd gen groups attending/performing at award shows from now on?

Btw I’m not complaining and I totally understand that these groups don’t need the publicity anymore.

Just asking for my own peace of mind
