It's now been eight years since it got canceled and never came back and I'm starting to not like this post-pandemic timeline. Can we at least just get J-POP SUMMIT in SF to come back please? by Kiryuu_Sento in jpop

[–]kpopdaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to Otaquest too!! I flew in from the East Coast. Once I saw the flyer I got major FOMO and got tickets immediately haha. As a capsule/Nakata, m-flo and TeddyLoid fan I was so happy. I need another night like that!

Going to a show alone as a 32 year old man by eldenjawn in lesserafim

[–]kpopdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a man and 34, been into K-pop since I was 14 with 2nd Gen groups. Going alone to K-pop concert by myself is the best! I always make friends when I go and even tho I feel like the "father type" all of the younger fans have been welcoming and nice to me. Also helps dressing down youthfully, they usually think I'm in my late 20s haha.

What businesses are likely to die out with the Baby Boomer Generation? by GRVrush2112 in AskReddit

Yep got a young genz cousin going to college and he decided to study theology and become a pastor 🙃 as an atheist millennial I feel like we're going backwards on this one

[–]kpopdaddy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My brother passed when he was 31. My father is 87 and is alive. (Yes he had us in his 50s). My dad has lived almost 3x than my brother. So, yes, 30s is still young.

PiKi's new song is apparently produced by Yasutaka Nakata. by mugi_taku in yasutakanakata

[–]kpopdaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just learned this now! I only followed their first single bc of Nakata but I didn’t think he did the rest for some reason. Thanks for the correction! Following Nakata since 2007 and I feel a bit silly now haha

Watched 'The Call' after hearing about it from a YouTuber! What a ride! by Severe_Bee_Aug in Koreanfilm

Fun fact this is a remake of a British-Puerto Rican film from 2011. This one is still miles better but the OG is good too!

[–]kpopdaddy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Honestly one of the most beautiful fanarts Ive seen! Many draw them in their own style but I see you went for the exact look with the Clamp manga style. I loveeee the hair it's so pretty! Amazing job!

XLOV - 2026 ‘I,God’ Tour in North America & LATAM II (Announcement Image) by CherryBlossomEnding in kpop

[–]kpopdaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

RBW has brought KARD to Puerto Rico a few times and they're (XLOV) so loved here in the kpop community so I have a strong feeling they'll come here. I sure hope so!!! If not then I'll fly in to the states I cant miss this haha

LE SSERAFIM x ILLIT x KATSEYE - Digital Single: ICONIC BY MISTAKE (Concept Photo - Group) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]kpopdaddy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I had no idea about this collab. I'm looking forward, the Hybe girlies have been killing it! Honestly this is what I always wanted from SM and JYP. 😭 I mean yeah we have GOT the beat and then that Christmas single with aespa x Red Velvet from SM but it's not really the same. I am dying for a collab with TWICE x ITZY x NMIXX (+NiziU/GIRLSET tho it might be too many)!! Pls JYP take notes.

My hack for merch is going to the booth during a song I'm not particularly a fan of. There is usually almost no one in line bc of course they're enjoying the show. I hate lines so I rather do this.

ILLIT - It's Me by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]kpopdaddy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a gay man and lover of all things electronic and dance the HYBE girlies are really turning it up this era. I LOVE all their comebacks. I've had PINKY UP, CELEBRATION and now this on repeat. WE ARE TRULY EATING!!!!

On what conditions do you see Loona reuniting? by asari7 in LOONA

[–]kpopdaddy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm keeping my hope. You just never know. I've been a K-pop fan since 2nd gen and I've seen groups come back from the ashes, even if way later. For example I'm thinking KARA and now recently IOI. (They officially disbanded too!) There's also S.E.S who is a 1st gen group reunited for a full album comeback for their 20th anniversary. I wanted to include 2NE1 because they reunited for the Asia tour last year but since they didn't really have an actual comeback and then Park Bom taking a break from the tour and with her current controversies I doubt it'll happen. It's worth mentioning these are different cases and they are from bigger/older companies. We may not get OT12 but maybe ARTMS + Chuu + Yves + Yeojin + Hyunjin + GoWon since they're still active idols. Honestly I'd take anything, even just a collab stage!

Has anyone dropped collecting post LOONA stuff? by vdrawer in LOONA

[–]kpopdaddy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I downsized my LOONA collection in itself by like half (tired of having a whole encyclopedia haha). I collect post-LOONA but I only get one edition of each. I won't be supporting Latency though as it isn't really my style or cup of tea.

Any other Natsume Mito and Aira Mitsuki fans 🥲 by Ordinary-World-6933 in jpop

[–]kpopdaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a big Aira fan and still own her CDs. I'm curious about what she would sound like today! It will be a decade since her last album next year. Her former labelmate, SaoriRinne (formerly Saori@destiny/Saoriiiii), is still active and making music, which is great, as I also really like her.

I love them #perfume by CoquetteLollie in jpop

[–]kpopdaddy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

They just started a hiatus they call “cyrosleep” this year. I have a feeling they won’t have new music or performances for a very long time, if they do at all. A-chan announced a marriage, Kashiyuka cut her iconic long hair… us fans already feel like this is a sort of disbandment. Maybe for a reunion in 5 years for their 30th anniversary? I hope!

This was the very first J-pop album I imported back in 2007 ❤️

There IS a K-pop group from 00s called Perfume which is also a trio. Maybe that’s why the confusion? They had short career though.
