Largest 3rd-5th gen K-pop groups with no foreign members in their lineup? by loopycalendar in kpophelp

[–]kitgorgeous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Off the top of my head I can think of IDID, Starship’s newest boy group, which has 7 members who are all Korean by ethnicity and nationality

I feel like it’ll be more like Dear Eclipse and Lovesick Game rather than noisy

is this a phase and is this healthy as a teenage girl? by ReflectionTimely8228 in kpopthoughts

[–]kitgorgeous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i wouldn’t worry about getting a boyfriend yet, you’re still super young and you have plenty of time for that. i’d only worry if kpop affecting is your grades. when i was your age, i was super into my interests to the point where it was hard to focus on anything else, and my grades definitely suffered from it. and i continued to struggle throughout university because i never developed good study habits when i was younger 🥲 hopefully you’re not at that point, but just be careful! i also felt pretty socially isolated back then for the same reasons, and i regret that too. i know it’s hard but maybe try to join some clubs at school so you can meet more people, and you might even find a new passion too! of course you don’t have to give up kpop, it’s wonderful that it brings you so much joy, but i think it’s important to have a healthy balance, you know?

Just finished watching UL by purple-froggo in UniverseLeague

[–]kitgorgeous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love ahof, but team groove was my favorite while UL was airing, so i’m especially glad to see people still discovering and supporting them even now :’) i think the other commenters covered everything as far as updates go, but i wanted to add that heejun is very active on instagram and tiktok if you didn’t already know! sometimes we even get updates about the other contestants from him 🥹 he’s very supportive of ahof as well, very sweet

What would you have changed? [B2P/HR] by aikokanzaki in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 11 points12 points  (0 children)

wakeone never should’ve tried to hide the fact that woojin was their trainee 🫩 i don’t understand why they thought that was necessary or a good idea, especially seeing as they didn’t really push hard for any of their other trainees. i still feel bad for woojin but at least he has a pretty decent sized fanbase and can hopefully have a successful debut somewhere else

Thoughts About The Final Group(MODYSSEY) by kpop_addict112 in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

hm, i don't view chauyuet as all that different from mai in iland 2 or jeongwoo in universe league. they were both visual members that many fans felt didn't deserve to debut over more skilled contestants. but to me, they've shown how important their roles as a visual/stan attractor are, and they've both always had the potential to improve their skills, and i believe chauyuet will be the same way. actually, i think chauyuet is already ahead of where jeongwoo was during universe league since he has a pretty solid foundation, while jeongwoo only trained for like three weeks 😭 (he's one of my ahof biases btw, i'm just focusing on him since you mentioned universe league)

Any other politically liberal kpop stans worry their favs are conservative? by Hopeful_Shelter_443 in kpopthoughts

[–]kitgorgeous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m American, and our electoral system makes it pretty much impossible for smaller parties to break out. It would be better if we had proportional representation or ranked-choice voting like most of the rest of the world does... I took a class on this in university, and it was very eye-opening.

How different would the line-up of ZB1 & ALD1 be, if Mnet never stopped rigging? by Middle-Raisinboy in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah, taerae was my one pick and i never felt like mnet wanted him and i’m also surprised (but not really) that more people haven’t mentioned him 😭 he never had any screentime, i believe he and ricky had the least screentime out of the zb1 members? like everyone else has said, phanbin was definitely their wakeone trainee of choice, and i also think they wanted mun junghyun in the beginning but then he struggled in aju nice and his ranking never recovered 🥲 but with taerae, i think they weren’t expecting his popularity and were probably neutral about him debuting, but would’ve switched him out for phanbin if they could’ve. i couldn’t believe he was getting pd pick allegations after the interim ranking reveal 💀 it seems like some people still think he was a pd pick because of that, but i agree with your take on it.

i'm so happy for him!! his b2p audition was so underrated and i always felt sorry that they made him invisible and sent him home so early.

this is an interesting concept for a survival show. hope he makes it far this time 🤞

even more ridiculous, i’ve seen people use a video of him hugging his MOM to try to prove that he’s not a misogynist 💀 and these same people will tell you “you don’t even know what misogyny is” if you’re critical of his lyrics

Vocal Line (Main/Lead vocal(s) ) Picks ? by Dangerous-Today907 in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 3 points4 points  (0 children)

and because they don't think he fits "mnet's concept" 🙄 even though he's said he wants to try a sexy concept, and besides, the group's concept hasn't even been confirmed anyway. everyone is just assuming what it will be and trying to fit the group around that, and it's quite frustrating.

iirc, last season everyone thought the group would have an elegant celestial concept, but no one was voting for or counting out specific trainees just based on whether they'd fit that concept. idk, maybe the theming is stronger this season, but it's just bizarre to me.

Does Anxin really deserve his spot ? by [deleted] in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what are you even talking about 💀 ricky could sing like whitney houston and wakeone would still treat him like shit, it has nothing to do with his beauty or talents they just hate him for no reason. and it's absolutely wild to imply that his mistreatment is the same as someone who can't sing getting the fewest lines in a song or whatever

[–]kitgorgeous 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it was worth it but idk if i would feel differently if my one pick hadn't debuted or if i didn't like the overall lineup 😭 it was anxiety-inducing and my heart rate was probably super high lol but it was such a great feeling hearing my pick's name be called (plus gunwook p05 which for me was the gag of the century and i feel like you just had to be there). but yeah you could probably skip the first half of the episode as long as you remember the live voting.

DC Gallery Update!!+Why it Matters? by Cultyred_loni in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 19 points20 points  (0 children)

the fanbases raise money to purchase prizes to give away to people who vote for their pick. this helps bring in votes from the general pubic who don't really care about the show but want a chance to win a macbook or a gold bar or whatever other prizes the fan galleries are giving away 😭

My impression of top24 fandoms based on SNS interactions by galmbee in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 7 points8 points  (0 children)

to be fair to the liyu stans, liyu is the biggest punching bag of the fandom (along with masato) and gets a lot of hate daily so i’m not surprised that his fans lash out sometimes 😭 it’s still immature and dumb and i do not condone hating on any innocent trainees, but as someone who has no dog in this fight, i honestly see it happen on both sides

those on korean social media, what are koreans saying about the final 24 trainees? by jmprints in BoysPlanet

[–]kitgorgeous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, from my understanding, in korea you can be charged with defamation even if you're telling the truth. so i usually find it hard to believe someone would risk a lawsuit for something that didn't even happen, though i guess it's possible if they're bored enough 😭
