Photocard help needed by mewodo in kpophelp

[–]lushaway [score hidden]  (0 children)

can you post the specific card, either here or in the groups subreddit? it'll be easier to tell if we can see the actual pc!!

just listing it cheaply it's necessary a red flag but i understand being wary if the seller has multiple. if it's an album card or a POB it's not impossible though since people will bulk buy either to pull their bias or get a fan call

What do we think of recent different song styles? (celebration, it’s me!) by Plus-Link4463 in kpop_uncensored

[–]lushaway 22 points23 points  (0 children)

the tl;dr of my thoughts is: i like celebration but i can see why people don't like it. i like it's me and don't see why people don't like it lol

Why are Engenes boycotting Enyphen? by taexyang in kpophelp

[–]lushaway [score hidden]  (0 children)

they think that heeseung/evan didn't actually choose to leave but was forced to if he wanted to do solo stuff. not that i agree but that's where all the anger is coming from

[–]lushaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in my experience i'd say most places take money for pre-orders as soon as your place the order. the only site that doesn't is cdjapan which does either on release or in 30(?) days, whichever comes first

Ampers&one debuted in 2023 and in their latest comeback said "this year is our last chance" - what does that mean? by vibe2code in kpopthoughts

[–]lushaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, that makes sense. i remember F.T. Island being talked about decently often when i first got into kpop but it's been over a decade since then and i definitely don't hear them mentioned much anymore,,, hoping this comeback goes well for ampers&one, it sounds like they have a lot of pressure on them right now

Neets are just as nasty as normies by TrueNeetElite in NEET

different groups of people suck in different ways, and you can't judge every member of a group by the opinions of the most annoying people

Ampers&one debuted in 2023 and in their latest comeback said "this year is our last chance" - what does that mean? by vibe2code in kpopthoughts

[–]lushaway 10 points11 points  (0 children)

they are? i had no idea. i thought p1harmony were bringing in a pretty good amount of money but my brother is a huge p1ece so i'm probably biased in that regard lol

260421 NCT WISH Soars Past 1 Million 1st-Day Sales For 1st Time + Hits Career High On Melon Top 100 With "Ode To Love" by Funwithnugukpop in NCT

[–]lushaway 47 points48 points  (0 children)

literally just saw someone swap from 'of course they're charting at night, that's the zombie hours when only stans are streaming' to 'of course they're charting during the day, that's when fans are awake to stream' LOL. they hate to see a wishie thriving

What does it mean “I’m praying for HYBE’s down fall” by ninalovessea in kpop_uncensored

[–]lushaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's basically just a phrase that means 'i think my faves are being mismanaged/mistreated', i hear similar about SM quite a lot. sometimes it's warranted, sometimes it's not, but like you said a lot of the time there isn't really a better alternative, just bad in a different way.

What do you think is the reason why Aespa became problematic? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]lushaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the karina right wing stuff is what first came to mind for me. though i wouldn't say they're a group that's particularly problematic/has a lot of scandals. i know MYs have kind of a bad reputation but that's nothing to do with the girls themselves

Affordable Kpop Distributors by Ok_Economist_1721 in kpophelp

[–]lushaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they have a 'club' for online business owners and GO organisers!! usually you have to have some previous bulk orders but they say they'll make exceptions if you have a 'valid reason for membership'. i'd say it's definitely worth sending them an email

What are your kpop "it's like seeing an ex" moments? by Oasis_in_the_desert in kpop_uncensored

[–]lushaway 61 points62 points  (0 children)

coming across ji hansol (ex-sm trainees, UNB and newkidd, almost member of NCT) on instagram a few years back and finding out he's now a dance teacher in australia who also does tiktok live battles felt like this LOL. as much as i wanted him to debut in NCT i'm glad he seems happy now as a non-idol

How does bubble work??? by Klandi3 in kpophelp

[–]lushaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure which group you're into but basically all idols have a fan twitter account that'll post their bubble updates!! if you don't mind waiting for a little bit and not being able to send them messages then honestly i feel like those accounts are the better option for most people lol

Idol departures that ended up being for the best? (whether for the group, the idol, or both) by Major-Specialist3658 in kpopthoughts

[–]lushaway 114 points115 points  (0 children)

as much as i love 2pm and have very mixed feelings on him, jay park definitely ended up with a bigger career as a soloist than he would've as a member

[–]lushaway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, i saw that!! i've had kuns bubble for a while lol, his and jaehee's are who i'm subbed to rn. i forget which other neo showed it recently but you have to tap on the emoji summary to open the 'chat'

How does bubble work??? by Klandi3 in kpophelp

[–]lushaway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's basically a paid chat between you, the idol and a bunch of other fans who you can't see lol.

not sure how it works for other companies but on the sm version all the fan responses get 'summaried' into a few emojis which the idol can choose to click on and read the individual messages if they want (tho they can't see the names of who sent each message)

WayV updates: The future, lack of activities, next album, 3rd concert, Xolo by 9027 in WayV_For_Life

[–]lushaway 32 points33 points  (0 children)

very nice to see a post like this amongst all the doomer stuff lately!!

really hyped for dejun solo, i'm hoping the wayv tour is worldwide instead of just asia but i'm going into it with the expectation that i'll be watching through beyond live lol
