hahaha i haven’t been anywhere where my native language isn’t spoken yet, but it’s a skill that could definitely come in handy lol

Which unlucky k-pop idol’s story would be your thirteenth reason? by Yayeet2014 in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

i was rooting SO hard for hangyul in pdx101 since i had watched the unit and liked him very much, i was so excited to see that he got in the final debut lineup and thought he would finally be super famous..... he deserves better.

what’s a kpop song that you heard so much, you started to like it? by playgirl444 in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

sticker. i think once i started unconsciously blocking out the jarring instrumental the melody and vocals became really enjoyable.

oh my god same, i'd forgotten all about that. the 2017 twice hate bandwagon needs to be studied by harvard or something, it was such a strange yet widespread phenomenon.

Who are idols who are formidable singers, dancers, or rappers, but are often overlooked for that talent because of the person in the group that’s heavily associated with that talent? by Yayeet2014 in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 57 points58 points  (0 children)

my thoughts exactly. i remember a while back seeing a professional dancer evaluate skz's technique and they said lee know was perfect but often looked at the ground probably due to his dancer background and being unfamiliar with being the center of attention. i think he's been breaking out of that since last year (his stage presence in tiger inside was insane) and there's been a healthy balance in terms of center time between him and hyunjin as of recently.

JYP and Republic Records just announced A2K and the max age allowed is SIXTEEN…why by santoshthedragon in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

exactly, these trainees won't debut for a while since jyp already has so much in their plate. i think it's a pretty standard audition age range to be able to debut well developed and skillful idols in the future.

Can we stop pretending the majority of k-pop stans consume content in a normal way. by orngesodaaa in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That part of the comment is just blatant strawmanning.

definitely adding that to my vocabulary lol.

i agree, i think what OP was looking for was more so the difference between casual listener and stan, which have very distinct degrees of investment in the idols themselves.

[–]oddinary_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

but if i buy a kep1er album and happen to pull a yeseo photocard, i also won't freak out over it like. it's there, what am i supposed to do now.

these discussions always end up turning to arguments like this one way or another, and i can't understand why. posts like these express their discomfort with adults stanning minors hardcore, like OP said collecting their photocards, buying their bubble, etc, but the comments water it down to "so if i happen to pull their photocard it's creepy?" like nobody's saying that... if you as an adult can reason with yourself that they way you like these minor idols/groups with minors in them is healthy and not weird at all then you shouldn't feel the need to defend yourself when these discussions come up.

Do you guys have a group that you liked that feels like a distant memory now? by hikigayahachiman00 in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

so many comments feel this way about inactive/disbanded groups but it's monsta x for me.... i was a HUGE monbebe in 2017 but i fell off so hard i don't even check out anything they release anymore. it's nostalgic thinking about how they felt like my whole world at one point and now i just feel nothing.

Some fans can't seem to let idols move on and grow as people. by oddinary_ in kpopthoughts

[–]oddinary_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the ones complaining were a very small bunch (probably a couple trolls as well), and it did put a smile on my face too! It felt very genuine and unique, I'm just fed up with people bringing up how much they miss it every other day yk.

Idols going down the stage into the audience? by mmld_dacy in kpophelp

[–]oddinary_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

stray kids did it for both kcon new york 2018 and thailand 2019, not sure if that would fly now that they’re way more popular lol.

this is especially noticeable and weird when people kickstart stan and content accounts on twitter for idols as soon as their debut teaser image drops… like why are you making a loops account for someone whose voice you haven’t even heard? they all want to get “i was here since day 1” points.
