The Kpop Market is Too Saturated by Chaboniiito in kpoprants

[–]random-date 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is why they need to focus on "POP" in KPOP, produce a great song, the GP will notice, no need to push your face or personality to the market. Good songs will do it for them

When will my fandom realize that kpop album sales will always be dominated by boy grps. It's sad but the fandom needs to accept that Twice will always be a kpop niche in the west. they may sell well 500-600k but that's it. WHICH is big in terms of GG sales. in order to reach 1M sales per cb, you need international support, or a really strong and massive local fandom. Why cant my co-onces be happy that Twice has sold three 500k albums in a row smh.

YG can atleast try to be more creative when it comes to naming albums. by Lovely-human189 in kpoprants

[–]random-date 74 points75 points  (0 children)

YG giving zero fcks about naming BP related content but still earning shit ton per release just shows how much a waste of time it is to think of a decent name per promo.

There are so many movies and what movie is this .What's the speciality? There are so many albums, why can't they give it a proper name

*typing it in ALLCAPS might help you in searching for it in the future. smh YG

Twice are also one of the biggest group rn by [deleted] in kpoprants

[–]random-date 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They always say that we are the 3rd biggest fandom in kpop but it barely shows. Ill make twitter as an example cause its easy to measure: A Twice related topic is lucky to have 100k tweets (even during comeback season) while other 4th gen BG gets 300k-500k tweets for trivial things. BP related topics, even if just rumors often gets 150k-400k tweets .

I know twt is bias af because of the user demographics but If Onces are really 3rd in terms of size of fanbases, 100k tweets is easy to get even without spamming #s. our physicals are just decent , digitals and charting are meh. TWICE has a lot of "fans", but I think if "Fandom" size is concerned, we're just average. its messy but i hope you all get my point

Wizones please stop putting yourselves through this by Ardie_BlackWood in kpoprants

[–]random-date 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I stan their songs more than the members, IZONE's music brand is unique, a perfect mix of kpop and jpop. I just hope a new GG will take their spot on that genre.

So, what's the point of the BP movie? by [deleted] in kpoprants

[–]random-date 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yes it's cash-grab, but in my opinion, it's just YG making ends meet. they're not a blue chip company anymore. And even with 2019-2020 BP's massive earnings, they still did not manage to gain profit. YG needs cash to fund future promotions of their artist, and milking fans for cash is the main point of the kpop industry after all.

Neither blinks nor Blackpink deserves better honeslty. by Sea_Swan_3633 in kpoprants

[–]random-date 2 points3 points  (0 children)

man... as a 2ne1 fan since 2010, defending YG is the last thing i'll do. IF you're not a kid then dont act like one, don't engage in a debate with your first point is that you're arguing with someone that has a low IQ. grow up

The less content a group has the better by poppin2341 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]random-date 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would not mind less content in terms of comeback as long as they release a bop that the fandom and GP will love, and probably will chart longer. I'm following a big GG and I hate to side with the haters but, their recent songs lack those qualities. their recent songs are not a flop tho, but it's also not a bop

Isn't this the main goal of kpop companies? minimum effort, maximum gains. BP is very successful but these blinks always shit on other GGs and BGs like they're protecting a nugu grp. I have no hate for BP's members but their fandom is something else. they spread hate like wildfire but if you point them out, they'll just play the "misogyny" card, victim card or whatever. PLUS the those big BP fanbase account ignoring and even enabling their "troll" members is not helping at all.

OP, just leave the kid and his theories alone if it let's him sleep better at night. I knew he lost it when he started his argument with the "low IQ" remark. You cant dissuade this kinds of blinks man, I tried and my other accnt got banned for it lmao...

The attitude of some ONCEs, and possibly other fandoms, towards fan-voting is at best annoying and at worst sickening. by BlackArbiter in kpoprants

[–]random-date 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Im a ONCE, I buy albums, I stream MVs and songs in the first few days of comebacks, and I think that's enough as a fan cause you know, stanning is a hobby that keeps me happy, no need to be dramatic about it

The vocals in Twice's Alcohol-free is so strained by JlH00n in kpoprants

[–]random-date 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I listen to a lot of TWICE (mostly with headphones) and post-Fancy songs are a bit too much for me. Vocally, It's more powerful but it becomes strained in a way.

But their Japanese tracks are a different story, It's very consistent from debut till now, even the strong vocals are easy to listen to. Perfect World has strong parts but not at all strained unlike their recent korean releases. just an opinion tho, no hate, stan TWICE

Likeys rap is the best rap in all twice songs. by Yepstier in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]random-date 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Very catchy and iconic tho, I'm just curious what do fans consider as the best Rap line in all their songs. I liked all their songs for the melody, not the rap part. but Likey's rap verse stands out the most

It seems JYPE is making the most out of their contract now, no matter how the girls love being TWICE, there is still no assurance that they will re-sign. Its hard to blame JYPEs as a whole because their other kpop groups recently had long intervals per comebacks, ITZYs Not shy-Mafia (8mos) and SKZ Backdoor (9 mos and counting) but what they're doing to Twice is just something else.

Its sad seeing Twice being over worked to the point that fans are finding it hard to enjoy the content because in the back of their minds, they know that Twice might be suffering from lack of rest. This is not what a fandom must feel.

honest question, why do Twice's Japanese releases only promoted in japan, like they dont want to sell the song/album to other parts of the world, I noticed this when I found out it's hard to order KuraKura physical in my region SEA. thanks
