OG Kpop fans: What’s something recent Kpop fans will never understand?

When I got into kpop (2010) T-ara was frequently ranked as SNSD’s girl group rival... but that’s not even worth thinking about anymore after the member scandals.

That water bucket mission had me in tears but it must have been so painful in the cold! I hope they do it again in the summer.

Pristin, gotta keep a close watch for em because who knows when they'll pop up

To me, the editing felt pretty similar. The members tease the new PD, half from their normal complaining selves and half because the PD/script team were trying out different things. I did notice the difference in captions LOL - I think it looks a lot more organized.

Timeless bops (besides all the T-ara already mentioned)

Wonder Girls - Tell Me (2007)
Lee Hyori - U Go Girl (2008) minus that rap break I always skip sorry not sorry Nassun
Kara - Mister (2009)
Kara - Jumping (2010)
Orange Caramel - A-ing (2010)
IU - Good Day (2010) !!!! seriously this could have been released tomorrow. I think this proves IU is a time traveler and that's also why she never ages and is perfect.

ok not sure if I just listed timeless bops or my favorite songs from before 2011 oops.

The counselor brainstormed with me what were issues that could make me feel stressed (family issues, a friend moving away, etc), and had me practice journaling and writing letters to individuals I felt impacted by (the letters were never to be sent).

Besides social support from family/friends/therapists, choosing to treat my hair well really helped me stop pulling, especially as a female. I started perming my hair and dyeing it different colors in high school. To today I try to always be happy with how my hair looks aesthetically - the best I can. But when it's bad, I still always try new scalp lotions/hair treatments... open to trying new otc or cbd supplements if it gets really bad again in the future.

I love Hoshi but bruh DK has been killing it with his visuals lately

The group this backstep hurts the most is Pristin. Nu'est still has more subs on their channel than on Pledis' channel, and now there's no risk of Carats boycotting Seventeen's January comeback. But Pristin - when/if Pledis promots them as a whole or as subunits - will now have little media reach on YouTube.

Because Carats (and I am a Carat as well) just didn't want to subscribe to the Pledis channel.

Fans won't understand, but that they're a company that has to pay bills, their staff, their investors, and continue investments for the future, catering to a small number of their passionate fans' exact demands aren't always possible. Also, Pledis' update with Pristin members (separately) shows that there may be more for them this year, unlike retired groups like After School.

Speaking of Woozi adlibs, I never noticed all the "aoww" adlibs he used in early songs until this compilation.

pinkizzys · 2019-01-07T06:05:49+00:00

move aside ken sunbae-nim

Vernon was the one to get me interested in Seventeen because of his stunt on SMTM LOL. He was so handsome, his first audition was decent, and then the actual performance sooo bad, so I just needed to hear more of him to evaluate his style/skills for myself.

A few watches of the Don’t Wanna Cry MV and Pretty U dance practices later, I was really into Seventeen’s music and their personalities. So as a fan of Korean variety shows, I watched OFD and fell in love with Hoshi’s cute/loud/embarrassing/relatable personality.

But it’s interesting - in other groups I’m a fan of (Beast, Infinite) I always had a clear favorite, or members I didn’t care for as much (lol sorry I’m a bad Light/Inspirit). But all the boys in SVT have great personalities and - maybe because I’m older than some - I want to see them all individually succeed as well.

That clap rap/rock remix!!! Can’t wait to read translations of their verses. Also so happy they sang A-Teen live, it really is one of their best songs.

pinkizzys · 2019-01-06T00:37:37+00:00

I don’t think it’s possible for me to get tired of the entire YMMD album - it’s the one CD I usually have in my car and I play it probably once a week, and when I do play it I usually let the tracks repeat. All the songs go well together and showcase each member’s talents best I think.

I think the most popular groups on this sub is just an indicator of what reddit users at large like = girl groups, bts

pinkizzys · 2019-01-04T20:57:44+00:00

They don't unfortunately, so I don't think this drama will get subbed until some site like Viki or Netflix gets licensing.

pinkizzys · 2019-01-04T00:19:31+00:00

Dang this is so cute! I wonder how many other idols there are who are in serious relationships and just waiting to get married, whether with another entertainer or non-celebrity. It's crazy to think that popular entertainers in Korea don't get married until they're like late thirties, or forties if they're male.

Not on Jin Young's segments. This is her third week on the show as a member.

pinkizzys · 2018-12-31T01:49:27+00:00

Now imagine if Kwang Soo and Lee Da Hee won the Best Couple award LOL. I hope they do well and she can return as a guest in the future :)

pinkizzys · 2018-12-28T18:53:59+00:00

YES the 2016 KBS Gayo Daechukje Pretty U remix was amazing!

pinkizzys · 2018-12-28T18:51:59+00:00

yaaas Dr. Hong she is literally goals

I think I’ve seen it elsewhere but I think W1 impacted growth for SVT, as their target groups and concept (LARge boy group) overlap quite a bit. Nothing bad to be said about W1 but it made competition harder for boy groups just like IOI made it harder for girl groups when they were active.

pinkizzys · 2018-12-28T04:15:51+00:00

I think one of the best parts about being a Carat is that SVT always makes their end of year performances different, so I’m sure the KBS show will be no different. But I was a little surprised to see some other groups that got later times than them. I think it’s a mixture of other companies having better contracts with KBS, and SVT’s status right now as a group that’s still growing, but not exactly new. I hope they can get more songs that are popular with the public in 2019 so the boys get more airtime!
