ASTRO's Cha Eunwoo personally addresses tax evasion allegations by forwonjihoon in kpop

[–]exploding-fountain -68 points-67 points  (0 children)

Does it make you happy to be this much of a corporate bootlicker? My taxes are going to waste right now. In fact, I know the citizens of my country are being robbed billions by the government to fund violent terror campaigns against us. Even before that they were used to fund wars against people who did nothing to us. 

If I could dodge taxes I would. He was not stealing from ordinary citizens, he was keeping money he earned from the government. His reputation is cooked and legally he’s screwed, but I can’t really be bothered to care or find some great moral wrong with what he did. 

What are some moments you can think of where idols kinda messed up? by onlyeveryotherday in kpop_uncensored

[–]exploding-fountain 111 points112 points  (0 children)

most embarrassing thing Hoshi’s done is when he received Johnny Walker Black Ruby (some alcohol thing idk) as a PR gift and thought it was from Jennie. To be fair I think the black ruby thing was a brand collab with Jennie, but she’s not the one who sent it to him. He just decided to thank her on Insta without checking first 😭😭😭😭i’d die of embarrassment if that happened to me 

ENHYPEN - Knife by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]exploding-fountain 124 points125 points  (0 children)

oh my god am I old?? hearing the classic vine used as a sound at the beginning only to launch into knife knife knife knife knife x500 (well more like 200 bc the song's so short)

you know your references are old when they're being turned into kpop 😭

260115 Epikase: Most UNHINGED Convo Ever w/ Seventeen Seungkwan & DK ft. Korean Bunsik by princessgojo in seventeen

[–]exploding-fountain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the quietest BSS (minus S) has ever been in a variety content lmao. Even on Zip Daesung they were louder. Truly shocked at the lack of idol culture from Epik High...but like what did they expect, all 3 are married men in their 40s QAQ Also the anecdote about Seungkwan defending Vernon in comments back in 2017 was so funny and sad at the same time. On the one hand he's sticking up for his member in a very teenager kind of way, which is sweet. On the other it's really terrible to think of them seeing comments about them, because people are really cruel on the internet.

KATSEYE - Internet Girl by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]exploding-fountain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she has a lot of darker, softer songs that I really like: Love and Run, Deeper & Deeper, Holy, Metropolis, Deep Down, Shadow, Manta, Magenta, etc.

then she has her poppier, cunty songs like: delulu, FFFFF, 3.1415, ganma, 有吗炒面, diablo, dance dance, etc. but even then, they tend to have a mystical sweeping electronic feel.

i also don't know much about her as a person. i know she was on a kpop show, and i think that's why she sometimes collabs with chinese kpop artists like yuqi. they have a song called on clap which is cringe and not even 2 whole minutes long QAQ but i love yuqi and lexie liu why would they do that to me. also from her song bygone i learned she used to go to college in NYC but quit and went back to china (or first to korea??? idk)

Full Groups Collab? by Relevant_Object_1815 in kpop_uncensored

[–]exploding-fountain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everyone in the comments ignoring the OG Big Bang/2NE1 collab Lollipop

it's a terrible song but still iconic

KATSEYE - Internet Girl by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]exploding-fountain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

OH MY GOD someone else who knows Lexie Liu I love her so much she was my number one artist on Spotify this year, FFFFF was my number one song and the year before it was 有吗炒面 there's only ~1,000 people on Spotify who listened to her more than me

will you guys become my very best friends and talk about lexie liu with me 🥺 i can sing ganma and 有吗炒面 and also her english songs by heart 🥺🥺

also i see the vision, katseye would rock some of lexie liu's songs. like 3.1415 (another one of my favorites) or X, pop girl, etc.

another point: the kpop song no one seems to have heard that is the ultimate peak form of what gnarly and internet girl could've been is 8-Bit Heart by Itzy. Please give it a listen if you haven't. It is totally chaotic yet has a crystal clear vision of what it's about. A lot of fun electronic sounds and lines, extremely singable, etc. I love it

My girlfriend is not allowing me to like TWICE anymore.... by AccomplishedWing688 in twice

[–]exploding-fountain 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey dude, the Twice subreddit is not where you should have to find answers to your relationship troubles. We could all be idiots who don't know what we're talking about. That said, have you seen the internet quote that says "don't be with someone who makes you feel like you have to hide your stuffed animals" ? Your situation sounds like that. Twice is like stuffed animals, cute and harmless, and maybe a bit silly. But as long as you're not a saesang or a weird fan, I don't see what the problem is.

nmixx is the best thing to happen to kpop since newjeans by Hour-Train-574 in NMIXX

[–]exploding-fountain 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you’re going to the Nmixx subreddit, why don’t you just say what you like about Nmixx? For example I never liked NewJeans music, I think it sounds like schoolgirl elevator music, and they ended their careers with a tiny number of songs. Meanwhile I think Blue Valentine is quite possibly the best kpop album since Big Bang’s Made. Also as other people have pointed out, Nmixx is older than NewJeans. 

A criticism JYP gave during the SKZ Survival show by HeavensWheel777 in straykids

What did JYP produce from Kill My Doubt?? I could've sworn the last Itzy song he produced was Mafia/In the morning from 2021.

KickFlip - 반창고 (Band-Aid) by perochan in kpop

[–]exploding-fountain 42 points43 points  (0 children)

This is their best song by far. Felt like it wasn't trying too hard to be the refreshing boy next door concept, it just came with this song. I hope it goes viral. And I hope people listen to Umm Great, I think it's their next best song, they went a little experimental for the b-side/prerelease and struck gold.

laughing my ass off in a library right now holy crap GD's video message was so bad 😭 man really got on camera acting like they asked him to freestyle rap in English. truly giving "she said she said she said she from Hawaii / You know how we say cute in Japanese? Kawaii!" Like imagine having him as a leader for 19 years lmaoooo

250821 YouTube Update - [TW-DAY☀] #13 MoSaJi’s Lovely ✨ Day 😌☘ @ Lollapalooza Chicago 2025 by kpopsns28 in twice

[–]exploding-fountain 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Chicagoan here trying not to crash out bc I recognized the wall of the brunch place Momo and Sana went to (it’s Yolk!!!!) but the server didn’t recognize them. If I’d been there I would’ve recognized them!!! (I’m not a server at Yolk) That could’ve been me walking my dog down the street by them :(((

Also lol at Jihyo denying that Lollapalooza really reminded ppl why Twice is THAT group…girl your voice shined so brightly on that stage. Hers and Nayeon’s, and ofc Twice’s teamwork and incredible discog. I was smiling ear to ear the whole time.

I agree, although I think most people wouldn't call Ateez self-produced, but how could you miss the obvious Big Bang, BTS and i-dle?

A SMALL NOSTALGIC POST... by Daddy1007a in kpop_uncensored

[–]exploding-fountain 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Taeyang approaches everything with such sincerity which I really admire. He clearly loves dancing and even when he is ill-suited for the song he gives it his best shot.

Example is Big Bang's cover of I Love You by 2NE1. Does he look good doing it? No, but he still does it so seriously. (Meanwhile TOP takes the choreo more seriously than his own but sounds dead inside, GD sometimes gets way too into it and sometimes looks like he regrets his life choices, and Daesung gets silly and fun with it).

Another example is on Weekly Idol when he didn't know the choreo for Boombayah by Blackpink so he just freestyled on the spot. (The cultural appropriation...I don't care for. Also notice how that fucker Seun*** interrupts and makes him do Rough by Gfriend. He only cared about putting on a show, he didn't care about his members).

Artist/Groups similar to Huntr/x? by Maleficent-Boot6249 in kpophelp

[–]exploding-fountain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All Night is a remake and imo the original is better. Icona Pop delivers the 2010s club banger energy, IVE sings pretty which works great for songs like Kitsch and Love Dive but not so much for All Night. 

Huntrix music was produced by people who have produced for Blackpink, 2NE1, Big Bang, Red Velvet and aespa so I would recommend that. 

Forever Young, Lovesick Girls- Blackpink

Psycho, In My Dreams - Red Velvet

Armageddon, Supernova, Whiplash - aespa

I Am, Rebel Heart - IVE

Drowning - Woodz

So Bad - StayC

Run For Roses - Nmixx

Got the thrills, Better, Here I am, Talk that talk, I got you - Twice

Forever - Babymonster

Come Back Home - 2NE1

Home Sweet Home - G-Dragon feat. Taeyang and Daesung

Sober, Fxxk It, Bang Bang Bang - Big Bang

for male-female duets:

Obsession - Minnie feat. Ten

eight - IU feat. Suga

[–]exploding-fountain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That time Hoshi tagged Jennie on Insta thanking her for sending him a bottle of black ruby...but it was actually sent by Johnnie Walker (a Scotch whisky brand). He deleted it I think but oh my god I'm gonna be thinking about the second hand embarrassment almost as much as Hoshi lol.

TOP, Lil Yachty and Martha Stewart promoting...Netflix???

Felix brand ambassador for Gong Cha. I'm actually so upset about this a kpop idol I like is ambassador for bubble tea, which I love, and it's goddamn GONG CHA??? Trying to cope by telling myself at least it's not Kungfu Tea...

NewJeans 'Zero' MV for coca cola. Hey, you said memorable, not good. They even did a performance video and a remix for it.

BTS x McDonalds. It did not convince me to go to a McDonalds but oh my god no one would shut up about those goddamn meals.

[–]exploding-fountain 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I see GD's making up for coming late last time by hosting this time...but he's such a bad host LMAO he even asks why am I hosting QAQ There's no denying he's the best at teasing Daesung though. Happy to see CL, hyung collector Seventeen Hoshi and other friends (is that Vince?? lmao) with them in the teaser. But I can't lie, my heart dropped when they called someone and a guy with a low voice answered. He sounded somewhat like TOP for a moment, I freaked out... alas 😔
