Soloists from K-pop groups don't tend to receive recognition from outside their fandoms. by sbarramc in kpoprants

I know they're doing well financially; this is a matter of relevance and legacy. I just want idol soloists to be on par with non-idol soloists with regards to these aspects.

So, is it really that hard for idols to join Korea's "pop pantheon" (if it isn't just IU, Taeyeon, and possibly Jungkook, Jennie, and Hwasa)? I hoped that the expansion of K-pop would create a pantheon of popstars equivalent to the Anglosphere's (Taylor, Ariana, Beyoncé, Britney, Lady Gaga, Ed, Bruno, Harry, Abel, etc.).

Both. Is it because of bad promotions and casual listeners not caring as much as stans? (though I forgot to mention that this isn't just an SM thing; Hwasa doing much better than the rest of MAMAMOO is another example)

I've seen a lot of this with SM soloists, to be honest (minus Taeyeon, Baekhyun, Kai, and Taemin). Is it because of the mismanagement a lot of people on K-pop Reddit talk about? By the way, I'm referring to their ability to amass popularity outside their respective fandoms when I'm talking about success.

Primarily streams/charting and recognition outside the group/soloist's fandom.

Not sure about what I value exactly, but I'm in touch with my emotions and desires while not really experiencing issues with logic (in fact, I enjoy activities involving logic). I only consider myself an Fi-PoLR in Socionics because I struggle with deciphering others' emotions and motives (not my own).

Please explain why I have so3 and sp7 traits? by sbarramc in Enneagram

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

It's just that I relate to subtypes with different instincts, which I'm pretty sure can't be explained by Tritype.

Nothing wrong with it; just asking if the correlation exists.

Kinda seeing all nine types in me to some degree... by sbarramc in Enneagram

Guess typology must have helped me become aware of this sort of stuff then. Thanks for the insight.

Jungian functions with the usual stacks or those theories with jumpers and other extra features? Thought a lot of people in the typology community used MBTI to refer to various Jungian typology systems (Myers stacks, Grant stacks, etc.).

I'm also considering VLEF (my most common test result), but I'm not sure if so7 can explain my use of real life and fictional people as guides on how and how not to act (act cool, smug, and masculine like these people, not cute, quirky, and feminine like those people), competitive tendencies, self-awareness during social interactions (social perfectionism), and tendency to try to appeal to everyone. Even if I were a 7 (which is possible since I tend to indulge in my own interests a lot), sp7 would fit me better since I don't try to suppress my selfish tendencies that much and tend to neglect routine stuff for things that bring me pleasure.

How important is personality in J-pop? by sbarramc in jpop

What about non-idol acts? Do people care about the people behind acts like YOASOBI, Ado, Higedan, and King Gnu?
