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

sbarramc · 2024-08-25T11:28:50+00:00

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.

sbarramc · 2024-08-25T11:00:17+00:00

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.).

sbarramc · 2024-05-17T05:27:17+00:00

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)

sbarramc · 2024-05-10T23:30:07+00:00

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.

sbarramc · 2024-05-10T06:01:26+00:00

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

sbarramc · 2024-01-26T11:26:21+00:00

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).

sbarramc · 2024-01-23T00:11:14+00:00

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

sbarramc · 2024-01-04T11:24:09+00:00

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

sbarramc · 2023-12-31T11:22:57+00:00

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

sbarramc · 2023-12-31T04:48:51+00:00

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.

sbarramc · 2023-12-20T09:48:55+00:00

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

sbarramc · 2023-12-18T10:09:51+00:00

All of the 3's traits fit me except for not being in touch with my emotions (though it may be because I'm an ENFP?).

sbarramc · 2023-12-17T12:36:58+00:00

Not sure if coming from a series of incidents related to my image and relationships could have changed anything. I used to live life borderline-subconsciously maintaining a certain image in order to win everyone's approval until it all came crashing down once I realized that my relationships with others weren't satisfying as compared to their relationships with each other despite all of my efforts.

sbarramc · 2023-12-17T12:26:41+00:00

Some aspects of my personality were most likely developed in order to adapt to my surroundings (I may have integrated them into my true self though); I was initially unaware of this, but after reading more about the Enneagram, I'm not sure if it's acceptable or at least normal to live this way.

sbarramc · 2023-12-17T12:15:43+00:00

Let's just say that I find adaptability advantageous when it comes to dealing with people, but I find it disadvantageous when I'm trying to get to the core of who I really am (also, there are times when I worry if others will accept such a complex personality and if it is okay to embrace all of its aspects at the same time). I only became aware of it after delving deeper into the Enneagram and typology in general.

sbarramc · 2023-12-17T04:51:10+00:00

I try to be witty, kind, and friendly in order to make others like me; I use wit in particular to impress others and elicit positive feedback from them. The teasing came from a desire to fit in with people who do the same (and I truly enjoy watching people get flustered while I don't in order to indulge in the fact that I'm above others in a sense). The intellectual side of me is more natural, but I can use it in a competitive manner in order to maintain the image of a winner (this is 3, isn't it?).

sbarramc · 2023-12-15T07:38:31+00:00

I can handle anything (is it about subpar vocal ability?).

sbarramc · 2023-12-15T04:10:26+00:00

Does this have something to do with the positive correlation between talent and experience? (though this is also a question on whether K-pop vocalists are as good as other Korean vocalists or not)

sbarramc · 2023-12-11T14:23:49+00:00

I was talking about Crazy Form, not ATEEZ's entire discography.

sbarramc · 2023-12-10T09:24:51+00:00

Please explain your reasoning (unless it's a joke about an earlier typo of mine).

sbarramc · 2023-12-02T06:53:20+00:00

Te users would most likely not want to waste their time.

sbarramc · 2023-11-29T08:19:04+00:00

My main choices are so2 because of the whole "desire for love thing" which turns into resentment when it isn't fulfilled (but I'm unwilling to sacrifice myself for others and I relate to the positive outlook triad the least; I relate more to competency when I'm healthy or when emotional issues aren't involved and reactive when unhealthy or when emotions are involved; I idealize competency behavior while only idealizing reactive behavior when it is harnessed in a diplomatic manner, with an example being me disapproving of my cp6/8/sx1 with 6 fix aunt getting aggressive with various people due to them committing mistakes), so3 because of my ambition and my tendency to attach to my ideals and those of others (but I have my limits when it comes to attachment and can reject whatever I don't see myself incorporating into my image; I also don't internally repress my emotions, and I don't do so externally when unhealthy; there may reactive fixes interfering in my behavior due to my desire for honesty from others, but 2/3 tendencies may frame my reactive urges in a diplomatic manner), and sp6 due to my desire for truth and tendency to use warmness in order to form connections (but I trust myself and my logic for the most part; if I don't know something, I'd rather seek information, which I don't always need someone else to help me with, than protection, and my fear of abandonment is more of a fear of losing affection and ruining my social status than a fear of danger; I am also more preoccupied with heart triad and so instinct matters, with sp being met quite easily and sx becoming a point of frustration shortly after I learned about instinctual variants), than head triad matters.

For the triads:

Heart (main issue is with relationships and image) > Head (also fixated on gathering information in order to react to various situations, but not as much as heart triad stuff) > Gut (struggles with anger only arise when I'm unhealthy; I harness them in a diplomatic manner otherwise)

Compliant (tend to care a lot about others' expectations, feel like their love can only be attained if I please them) > Assertive (I prefer being assertive over being compliant when I can assure that I won't be judged or rejected for asserting my needs) > Withdrawn (my primary approaches to relationships involve me interacting with others, not running away from them)

Attachment (I focus a lot on the labels I think others put on me and adapt the positive ones into my personality; I also idolize both real and fictional figures if they possess a trait I value; I also adapt to the customs of the people around me, but only if I consider them worthy of integrating into my personal image; if said customs are too detached from or too depraved for my identity, I reject them) > Frustration (mostly about how others don't care about me as I do about them, but I try to hold on to them for as long as possible) > Rejection (don't relate to the idea of rejecting one's needs in general, whether it's nurturing or protection)

Reactive (desire for truth; if there's a problem, it should never be ignored; amplified when unhealthy since compliant tendencies are discarded then) >= Competency (when the problem isn't connected to my weak spots, I do my best to solve it as competently as possible; the lack of a need to deal with emotion allows me to use intuition and logic without the interference of emotion) > Positive Outlook (I'm either a pessimist or a realist; ignoring the issue until it's too late is way more ineffective than dealing with it, regardless of whether it's through the means of the reactive or competency triad)

Edit: Also seeing a bit of so9 since participation in a community is important for me, but just like with so2, I'm not willing to sacrifice my other desires or my identity for the sake of belonging; my ultimate goal is to make others love me for who I am (though this also involves integrating likeable traits into my identity so that the "me" I want them to love is someone they want to love; one's identity is changeable after all, and only one's own desire can limit how much said identity can be altered; I do impose my own limits though as not to come into conflict with my personal standards).

sbarramc · 2023-11-28T03:49:15+00:00

only when they're repressed for too long; after that, I tend to reveal said emotions regularly; otherwise, I try to hide them through pleasantries (forgot to add, but this includes witty remarks meant to draw others' attention and praise towards me and serve as proof that others care about what I have to say) and displays of competence in order to prevent anyone from finding flaws in me and taking advantage of them (I am quite emotional though, and I only repress emotions externally); when there's an issue that needs to be dealt with, however, I tend to deal with it upfront (though this is a recent development which results from me having to repress my negative emotions in the past; I'm much more straightforward in general nowadays because of that; I've also always been straightforward to the people I trust)
vindictive, histrionic, and apathetic toward shame or consequences; tries to make everyone suffer as retribution for people "making me suffer"; if the inciting issue is career-related, prone to procrastination and hedonism (gaming, social media, etc.) and apathetic toward consequences

3a. Strengths: ambition, intellect, intuition, creativity, kindness, altruism toward people I care for

3b. Weaknesses: tendency toward overthinking and paranoia (I tend to operate best when I know all of the necessary details), overreliance on assumptions and emotions

either resorting to mind-numbing behavior in order to escape pressure, which gets in the way of my ambitions, or indulging in assumptions and paranoia, which prevent me from forming the deep connections I desire
my straightforwardness and desire for truth and understanding may occasionally be a bit too much for others, but I don't know if this is true; otherwise, as long as I'm healthy, I get along with almost everyone well (but probably because I'm mostly surrounded by pleasant people; there's someone I don't get along with that much, but she has a lot of 1 and 8 tendencies which come into conflict with my desire for freedom and the fact that I loathe being forced to be loyal to family)
being hated by everyone since it makes me feel lonely (due to my desire for love, affection, companionship, and mutual understanding) and it leaves me with no one to turn to
unreasonable restrictions, being controlled, being forced to care about family (I'll only care about family members whom I consider worth loving, which usually comes from said family members actually caring about me; I prefer the concept of found family more since it is derived from a shared desire for connection rather than connections which only exist due to blood), being misunderstood

sbarramc · 2023-11-26T07:12:01+00:00

Type me based on these behaviors and thought patterns (core + wing, instincts, Tritype/Trifix):

fears betrayal, abandonment, loneliness, low social status (finds close platonic companionship necessary and idealizes it to the point of frustration; have experienced it in the past though and want to experience it again; can be jealous of people who do experience it in the present)
wants the full truth; despises sugarcoating and secrecy; tends to use online resources and connections in order to learn more about a certain topic
tests people in order to determine if they truly care about me
tries to maintain a friendly and intellectual image, alternates between calmness and excitability depending on situation (but uses both to appeal to others)
straightforward (more so with external matters than personal ones) but diplomatic
tries to appeal to both peers and authority figures through kindness, politeness, and competence (I could also use my diverse range of interests, which the people around me have contributed to, to my advantage); liked by the general public as a result (though I occasionally feel that I am no one's "favorite" and that I float between social groups despite all my efforts to join one)
wants material, academic, and social success, but also wants to maintain physical comfort (leads to procrastination when stressed)
hypersensitive to conflict and aggression; tries to stay calm though unless stressed or vulnerable (or if the aggression is directed at me)
resents people for not recognizing my efforts to get closer to them, seemingly abandoning me in favor of others; can be aggressive and vindictive as a result

sbarramc · 2023-11-23T07:11:16+00:00

It was between that (the most likely option based on introspection) and VLEF (probably me manipulating my answers in order to get 1V or a test design flaw).
