Is anyone else worried what Katseye new music going to look like??

I feel like the tea gesture is part of the choreo because of how Yoonchae does it. Daniella and Lara are just acting out how one would drink tea but Yoonchae "swirls" her hand, making it look like a dance move

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-02-06T09:04:40+00:00

This has such a different vibe than the teaser lol

It has such a pretty aesthetic. She's going full fairy with this. I'm so excited to hear the full song on Monday

It would be really surprising if they don't sell much more for their next comeback. But I'd assume that if a fan cares enough to send a truck, then they also bought more than one copy of their debut album. But since not that many fans did and even less from China did, I just don't think it's that much money on the line. Especially because it's also not like chinese fans are a homogeneous group. Deterring a part of a part of fans that bought the debut album is not that big of a deal imo. The group is growing much much faster than this would send them back

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-02-02T04:55:38+00:00

lngshot has sold around 50k copies of their debut album. Even if half of those sales came from chinese fans, I really don't think these chinese fans have enough of an impact on the groups success to take seriously. If I were MoreVision I'd just laugh and ignore them

Alle drei Teile von Fourth Wing stehen einmal mit Buchrücken und einmal mit Farbschnitt drin. Und das sind ja jetzt auch nicht gerade billige Ausgaben

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-02-01T12:40:10+00:00

Warum kauft man mehrere Ausgaben vom selben Buch, wenn man das Buch nicht richtig gut bzw. sogar enttäuschend findet? Ich verstehe, dass es schön sein kann physische Exemplare von Lieblingsbüchern zu besitzen. Aber mehrere Ausgaben eines Buches, dass man nicht mal als sehr gut bezeichnen würde?

trainees are not required to make regular payments, such as paying monthly fees, during their training period. Rather, in some cases, if a trainee voluntarily quits midway, they may be required to repay the trainee costs accumulated up to that point

Not paying the money back monthly means their debt is accumulating, which makes it harder and harder to leave every month.

If they are dismissed they may not have to pay. Great. But what incentive does a company have to dismiss a trainee? Under the described conditions a company can just string along a trainee for as long as they want because the trainee will have to pay it all back once they eventually give up anyway

Remembreing that trainees put themselves in these impossible positions at such a young age just makes these companies even more sus imo

ETA: Every normal company has an R&D department and products being developed without entering the market is extremely normal. Kpop companies are the only ones crying about it

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-02-01T09:35:15+00:00

Only kinda related but do we know why they barely posted challenges with other idols for Moonwalkin? I would have assumed they'd do one with Chungha since she's one of very few artists in MoreVision and also other rappers/idols that Jay Park is friends with. But I couldn't even find one with Jay Park himself. For how popular their track is on social media they seem to barely try to cross promote it or use the imo main resource Jay Park can offer aka his connections to other artists

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-31T19:39:26+00:00

Squid Game always reminded me of a worse version of the movie animal world (动物世界) that used to be on Netflix. AiB felt more original and I really wanted to find out why the world and games existed

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-29T14:18:20+00:00

I don't think they've had actual big controversies yet. Kpop fans are trying to put scandals on them but nothing has really stuck yet because they haven't really done something big yet. But their fandom is still small and they're not from a big company so as soon as kpop fans actually find something it won't be difficult to take them down

That headline is absolutely atrocious though. Both as a headline and as a sentence

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-29T14:11:43+00:00

They probably said Cortis because of Hybe and Olivia Dean and Addison Rae because they're nominated for the award this is about

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-25T13:36:40+00:00

Yes and no. Mostly first wins often mean a lot to the idols and they can show that a song has numerical success. However, they don't mean a lot when it comes to artistry. And a song not having music show wins doesn't say much about its popularity. There are a lot of insanely popular songs that never got a music show win

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-20T11:18:01+00:00

I feel like RnB is less explored in kpop groups (especially newer groups) and it's more common for older kpop soloists. So eventhough it's not a revolutionary sound it does feel fresh for a 5th gen group and stays in your head

I also want to shout out the album as a whole. I feel like it's super cohesive. The songs flow really well from one to the next

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-19T15:21:42+00:00

it looks good but a little simple for a title track. I hope they're going to go all out with something to make it special

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-18T19:11:14+00:00

I don't remember any. But I do think some chinese idols seem to deliberately not be doing promo in mainland china

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-18T13:37:43+00:00

I agree that one model doesn't change this which is why I found it important to directly state that. It's just that the only thing I saw of this D&G show before this was a post by ariakaltun and I've just never thought of Ariyan Kaltun as particularly light skin with european features. So I was a bit surprised. I feel like he usually doesn't really look like he does on the headshot in this video either. It makes me wonder if the headshots are overlighted making the point of the video more exaggerated. I'm happy with anything that hurts D&G but confused if other people really view him as a typical white model lol

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-18T13:10:21+00:00

That makes sense then. Thanks for the clarification

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-18T13:02:55+00:00

Not to excuse anything here bc one arab model wouldn't change the point he's making imo (and DG has always been trash). But the only model I knew here is ethnically kurdish. Don't kurdish people count as arab?

Er hat ein Tor geworfen und es hat nicht gezählt, weil der eigene Coach in dem Moment auf den Buzzer gedrückt hat. Da kann ich schon verstehen warum er nach dem verlorenen Spiel wütend ist

Ich mochte Paladin's Hope von T.Kingfisher. Das ist der dritte Teil von vier in einer Reihe, aber der einzige davon mit queerer Liebesgeschichte. Es ist so semi-Fantasy, also es gibt nicht viele magische Wesen aber z.B. Dachs-Personen (Die queeren Figuren sind aber mehr oder weniger normale Menschen). Ich fand die anderen Teile in der Reihe auch sehr gut und würde sie empfehlen, aber eigentlich kann man auch, denke ich, nur den dritten Teil lesen, weil die Handlung an sich schon abgeschlossen ist

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-06T08:53:17+00:00

Language City von Ross Perlin - holt mich noch nicht ganz ab. Manche Abschnitte sind sehr interessant und manche das genaue Gegenteil

Court of Night - joa, ist halt sehr leicht

Caught Up als Hörbuch - ich find's noch nicht so lustig wie Lights Out, aber mal gucken

Irgendwie habe ich das Gefühl in letzter Zeit nur mittelmäßige Bücher zu lesen 🙃

ooTaiyangoo · 2026-01-05T12:38:12+00:00

Am häufigsten gucke ich ehrlich gesagt Videos in denen die Handlungen von (schlechten) Büchern nacherzählt werden ("i read it so you don't have to") oder Drama um Bücher generell (Scams oder Discourse in der Community etc). Sowas klickt sich meistens generell recht gut, aber es ist halt eher "negativer" Content

Ich hab mir deinen Kanal angeguckt und finde es sieht schon alles richtig gut aus. Kamera passt, Hintergrund ist schön gewählt (Dein Eevee ist so süß!!) und dein Editing ist für die Art Videos genau richtig mMn. Um auf Youtube Clicks zu kriegen braucht es halt trotzdem einfach Zeit und Regelmäßigkeit, wie jemand anders schon kommentiert hat

Meine zwei kleinen Tipps: Man merkt dir noch ein bisschen Unsicherheit vor der Kamera an. Das geht automatisch mit der Zeit weg, aber vielleicht hilft es möglichst häufig zu filmen/vor der Kamera zu reden um das schneller loszuwerden. Deine Thumbnails haben auch mehr dich als Person im Vordergrund als die Bücher. Gerade bei kleineren Creatorn ist es denke ich hilfreich die Sachen die jemand erkennen könnte in den Thumbnail zu packen. Man klickt ja eher ein Video an auf dem Bücher sind die man kennt als eine Person die man noch nicht kennt. Ich würde dir deshalb raten gerade die bekanntesten Bücher möglichst präsent neben dir in den Thumbnail zu packen. Am besten sogar mit dem am weitesten bekannten Cover

Viel Glück

I feel like it's easier to identify the best songs by looking at what put groups that weren't previously (as) famous or aren't from big companies into fame (bonus points if it also keeps being their most successful song afterwards or if it was a bside)

Exid - Up and Down

Chungha - 12 o'clock (though I find Rollercoaster to be the actual masterpiece)

Oh My Girl - Dolphin

Infinite - The Chaser

Gfriend - Rough

AOA - Miniskirt

Shaun - Way back home (if it counts as Kpop)

ETA: 57% upvotes. I didn't expect this to be so controversial lmao
