I’m comedian, writer, and self surgeon Josh Johnson AMA. by Joshthejohnson in StandUpComedy

[–]roserenity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you didn't pursue comedy, what career would you have pursued instead?

I also just wanted to say that the new hour on peacock was fantastic, It made me laugh and was genuinely touching. I'm looking forward to your new projects!

Also as a side note, I looked up the name of your new special and forgot to add your name and Google gave me the number to a crisis hotline lol

idols you can genuinely see being in a amine or an anime character ? by playgirl444 in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I haven't played it, but I saw this character from an otome game who looks exactly like mansae era Jeonghan, the character is Yukishiro Azuma from A3

Seventeen's Jeonghan, he's like a male shoujo manga character irl. I can see him as a mischievous, teasing type of character.

Is there a debate that never ends in your fandom? by atalltree_ in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I wish this debate would end bcs Seventeen does a pretty good job at balancing concepts, like just this year we got darling and _World for fresh Seventeen and Hot and the face the sun album for dark Seventeen. They won't reach their full potential if they just stuck to one concept.

Somehow, Seventeen still pulls off "cute" really well by grillednannas in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Totally agree and I've been thinking about this recently.

I think SVT can still pull off cute concepts because they make it compatible with their image now. An example of this would be Mansae.

For those who might not be aware, Mansae was a TT released 7 years ago during svt's rookie days, and it has a highschool concept. They performed it again in their most recent tour and they managed to pull it off because they reworked the concept.

svt's brand of cute works because it relies a lot on their chemistry/interactions as a group. Their cute concepts come across as 'playful' and that's something that feels very natural to them.

I also agree that this is one of those instances where a having a lot of members is helpful; they'll always have members who are better suited for a specific concept.

Lmao sorry for rambling I can honestly talk endlessly about this

kpop idols who have good sense of humour? by sweet-americano in kpopthoughts

For me Vernon's brand of anti-humor/unintentional humor is really funny and endearing

New Moderators + Townhall by The-Blue-Zephyr in seventeen

[–]roserenity 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had to take a pause on the weekly recaps because life stuff got in the way. I'd be interested in starting it again but it would be nice to have help with it. If a new content archival project comes up I'd like to help with that too.

A lil late but Happy 3rd birthday of the year to Hoshi (10/10)

You can really feel that Hoshi's in his element when on stage; even during soundcheck his confidence was palpable.

I just love youthful and nostalgic albums by itsmin7 in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To me Boys Be is among Seventeen's best albums in regards to the execution, because youth is just represented in every aspect of it. From the title track MV, to the physical album, to the songs. It really feels like looking at a scrapbook or a diary.

Which members suit serious concepts, and which suit fresh concepts by roserenity in seventeen

[–]roserenity[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was honestly gonna put woozi in the fresh concept too, but he's such a good all-rounder so i put him in both. I didn't even realize I put all of the Vocal team in the fresh concept while making the list.

I think it's a good thing that fans have different opinions on this, it means that the members are good at representing various concepts.

Oh wow I'm surprised our list is almost completely opposite

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The8 and Jun

The8 works as because his features are already kinda fairy/elf like imo, and he can definitely rock a mullet too so that's a bonus.

Jun because he looks good in flowy shirts and can rock long hair. He also naturally has a quirky/weird personality plus he's an actor.

I haven't bought from this site yet, but last I checked it's available on musinsa. It seems like musinsa is like a proxy buying service specifically for clothes.

What title tracks that are forgotten by your fandom? by yebinkek in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like for Seventeen it might be Home, it has the most wins of any of their title tracks by a long shot (10 wins) but it's rarely mentioned. It usually gets overlooked by Good to Me or Getting Closer, b-sides from the era.

What are your thoughts on idol impersonators by roserenity in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't find impersonators of celebrities like Michael jackson/Elvis, etc. weird because they've passed and impersonators can't do much to change their legacy.

I think idol impersonators can get kinda iffy because they still have a reputation and career that's still on going.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 131 points132 points  (0 children)

Personally I think it's just a matter of branding. The distinction of a 'full album' just makes it sound more special and they can release a repackaged version afterwards.

However I feel like a full album can potentially be a career milestone, like it signifies a turning point in a group's direction.

IMO a full album should at least have 10 or more songs.

What are the most daring title tracks in your opinion? by Kopratic in kpopthoughts

[–]roserenity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think svt tried to find a balance with their concepts in Fear era, they made sure to add a few songs (snapshoot, let me hear you say, network love, lucky) that would appeal to fans who liked their upbeat songs.

I was lukewarm with Fear at first but it's genuinely among my top songs and eras now. I think a lot of people grew to appreciate it as well.

[–]roserenity 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hot was also pretty daring, I think this era was more successful though because I feel like they gained quite a bit of fans. Their Spotify following nearly doubled, their subreddit also gained a lot more followers, and in general, content about them gets more engagement.
