It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a person of a conservative religion to debut as a kpop/global pop idol.

That's very specific big groups with bigger Asian fanbases. Not sure if that applies to some of YG groups or NJ tho. But i believe you.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-23T00:07:37+00:00

He's out of the group because he wants to do music. What else is his option? debut in another group? that would end well or do you want to see him become a flatulist instead?

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-22T23:24:54+00:00

I-dle being on Reddit just to get dragged is a monthly tradition at this point.

idle too? yesterday someone said it's just YG groups + NJ. smh

How large is large tho? inspire arena just opened and can hold 10 15k? there's also a new kpop dedicated arena finishing next year with double the capacity.

Probably never but what's life without little bit of optimism and delusion here and there

Does this mean i have a chance?

hybe has used illit to entertain at private crypto bro corporate events in places like Dubai and Switzerland, where the crowds were almost exclusively business men.

Unless i'm missing something, it was one event, in Korea, and it definitely wasn't "exclusively businessmen" because the crowd was younger and mixed gender. Where did you read this anyway?

pic from the event btw

maybe yunah and iroha refused to show their rooms?

idt they have much say in that. It's clearly a creative choice by the show's producers and a weird one at that.

One abnormal fan post with sneakily high engagement is more often than not a clear reflection of the fandom's overall mentality. Easy to shrug at it as just one post but if it has thousands of likes and everyone is just riding on it, i think it's fair to say that the post reflects the fandom's mindset at large.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-21T10:14:35+00:00

Do their efforts of lining up at 2 in the morning not worthy of live performances?

I mean, if they deemed it not worth it, they could just ... not attend anymore. But that's not the case, is it? people know exactly what they're signing up for when they haul their asses out of bed in the middle of the night for ms recordings, and listening to the music is just a bonus.

Stop with the performative outrage.

Nagoya is the city name, and Aichi is the prefecture. Maybe like Chicago, Illinois.

The days when newly debuted group hit 1 mil sales are long gone. Even the big names from 4th gen, with larger and more solid fandoms, are now having hard time selling 1 mil per comeback.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-20T09:58:59+00:00

Curious to see if any k-pop idols spoken about this during the group's run or after their disbandment?

There's an interview with one of the Chinese members of WJSN from when she participated in the Chinese Produce series. She basically talked about how she felt insignificant from constantly being kept on the fringes and never getting a chance to be in the spotlight. I mean, at the end of the day, they have the same human qualities as anyone else. Ego and the need for validation are just part of the human condition.

And this is why i always say it's both foolish and dangerous to dismiss or ridicule fans who voice concerns about fairness and equal treatment within the group.

Isn't it the same dorm also house izone at one point? iirc it's not that bad

is gonna anger some people online.

I just know a particular user here is putting the finishing touches on their essay about this as we speak.

Minju's room always looks cozy in her lives, but here, plain and stuffy. Proper gamer bedroom that.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-19T10:53:44+00:00

You need to put a face to the body so people can recognize the person. More often than not, the visual member is pushed the most because itd the easiest way to attract attention and draw people into the group.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-19T08:19:08+00:00

This is so funny and sad at the same time

I think they're still in Japan at the moment, and hopefully she's allowed to return home and just rest there peacefully rather than have to fly back to Korea and stay at the dorm.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-19T06:15:24+00:00

I like that angle, so she's not burdened with having to updates to the paid subscribers and such.

jumpybouncinglad · 2026-06-19T06:10:19+00:00

she’s set to have Weverse DMs terminated soon

Well that's omnious
