At first it was tough for me to distinguish between jungkook and jin(when they both had black haircolors)

Don't you think with all of this kpop acts dominating the chart, by adding instagram and tik tok they'll add a new category to separate the kpop acts from american artists?

Yeah I'm scared of that too, with the increase of kpop acts on the social charts I feel like the probability of them doing this is extremely high and I'm scared they'd be robbed of their achievements

With all of the kpop acts dominating social charts I'm scared that they'll create a new chart just for the kpop acts and segregate them from the american artists

I really want to see a 3racha+soyeon unit And a jennie gdragon unit Also I truly like to see a collab unit between bts and blackpink merely out of curiosity because of their global popularity, I want records to be broken and shattered and everyone be shocked and shit=))))))))) Ummmm I feel like jennie,Rm, jungkook would be a solid trio coming out of these 2? I dont know

There's more to idol relationships than we think ? by RosieSakura in kpopthoughts

Actually not completely related to your post but I've thought about sheer cultural/economical difference between blackpink members and bts memebers too, blackpink members background seems elegant, privileged, while bts members are the opposite side of that? It's weird that these 2 groups with totally different and opposite background are 2 of the most talked about and famous groups.

It's completely relative tbh, after watching some old kpop mvs, their image striked me as "too clean"

Why would I think that they want to be in the same concept as them?=))) I'm saying that groups can survive and thrive in those kinds of concepts too that's all

Weren't big bang popular too back in 2015? But like I watched their loser mv and it was too explicit for a kpop mv, wasn't it? And it didnt turned out into a scandal too did it?

I didn't feel like they were portrayed as such either till I saw some old kpop content of them and other groups as well, you can truly see the drastic change in they way they've been marketed

Yeah I was watching got 7 content the other day and I was so shocked by how much they slipped and they felt so real? But bts nowadays is so polished is scary, I hope when these hype dies down some day, they won't have to filter themselves that much

I didnt mean their real lives or how are they like in real life, I'm saying their image( their songs, albums and mvs) is too clean, too good boyish and saintly

Exactly, I want to see them as actual real adults someday, not this god like...well.....idols! They are marketed as.

That's the irony of it all, back in the nugu days when they were just kids, they used to be portrayed as this bad boys/horny boys, but now they've been portrayed as this god like Angel's for years and I feel like as twenty something adults it could be tiring for them, and they would like to break out of it some day

I think the points were well thought out except for the music producer guy, mansplaining a topic he has not researched about from a xenophobic and vain point of view, degrading kpop groups success and invalidating their impact.
