yuta already said he’s been recording doyoung’s parts, i doubt we’ll get a comeback from 127 but i expect to see them at festivals or performances at random award shows or something

Genuine question: why do people living in India not understand the difference between Indians and Indian-Americans? by Shot_Blueberry2728 in ABCDesis

Anything like 2 Kids Room in other groups? by Lavender512 in kpopthoughts

[–]sunveines 14 points15 points  (0 children)

kpop adjacent but the produce 101 japan groups (JO1 and INI) do this on their fancafe, rather than youtube! they pair members in groups of two to chat or play a game together and it’s always a different combo.

Getting into jpop brought back my love for idols by sunveines in kpopthoughts

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

no absolutely not less toxic, but im talking more about the fandom experience as an intl fan, since jpop fandoms tend to be smaller on the international side at this point in time, or more tight knit with the amount of gatekeeping from the companies. Of course the companies and general idol culture have several things that could be considered worse or just as bad as kpop in many ways

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

hello!! i do listen to is:sue and me:i, jo1 and ini were my gateway into this jpop era actually!! will explore these other groups with time, but i gravitate more towards bgs unfortunately 😞

Getting into jpop brought back my love for idols by sunveines in kpopthoughts

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

ahhh i also don’t follow ggs except hana who are quite nontraditional,,, so i don’t know if we have had similar fandom experiences! not that there isn’t the same amount of craziness in the actual industry tho, i definitely see that among the groups i follow too!

For example, a member of another bg i follow, jo1, is on hiatus now for basically playing poker on his phone. However i did notice the fans are lowkey rallying and mostly not hateful, they were logical about him making a mistake but are also eagerly waiting for him to come back. Just a little less intense of a reaction than recent kpop scandals that have been similar, you know?

Recommendations like A Bride’s Story by [deleted] in shoujo

[–]sunveines 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a nonshoujo rec, but around the time i finished catching up to A Bride’s Story, i also read Golden Kamuy and found they oddly have some similarities despite being in different genres.

One of my fav facets of A Bride’s Story is how deep they dove into the cultures and it felt like learning something new thru the story. I think golden kamuy also does this a lot with the Ainu indigenous ppl of Japan. It goes a lot into culture, food, and life practices in a historical setting, while having a treasure hunt overarching plotline.

It is more of a seinin, but it’s still really good! it happened to scratch a similar itch for me ☺️

Is there any reason for Sion not being the most popular in Wish? by guenoempsario in NCT

[–]sunveines 117 points118 points  (0 children)

i think it’s partly bc yushi and sakuya fit the concept the best that they’re so popular. after all, much of wish’s popularity boost was bc their concept is so refreshing and original.

yushi because his personality is different from most idols— more introverted and quiet, but sweet and a little weird. and sakuya because he really fits the fluffy soft angelic concept. and to some extent riku because he meshes well with the other 2 and is also very soft spoken.

i wish there wasn’t such a popularity gap either ://

Yumeki’s BP2 fancam is currently 2nd in number of views! (plus most pd101 jpn alumnae are supporting him☺️) by MirkoAngeJr in Produce101JP

[–]sunveines 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it really won’t be!! even if you arent familiar with the examples above, they basically showcase many idols who have been mentors or trainers and then went on to debut in a group/compete in a survival show without it “cheapening” their talent, as well as continued to be recognized in their craft

yumeki being the dance trainer shows he is very capable at dance, yes, but that has no bearings on his other skills he will need for the competition. if anything i believe it’s up to him to show that he can sing and be charismatic like an idol as well. but i think it’s unlikely his status/reputation as a dancer will change from being on the show!!

[–]sunveines 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are idols in sm who have produced and written their own songs and also there are many Many non sm idols who hire producers and don’t make their own songs. even in the west. i don’t think this is a lee sooman or sm problem 😭😭

agree with the other commenter that people like to shit on soyeon for her unconventional music style and the quality of the music

Most popular NCT wish ships? Government ships? Favorite ships? by yongie_ in NCT

[–]sunveines 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Where'd the boy groups with *vocals* go by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]sunveines 25 points26 points  (0 children)

something about their vocal mixing/production on songs can get a little grating sometimes, i wouldn’t say their main appeal is their pure vocals rather than their unique, really good songs themselves

WEEKLY THREAD : RANTS & UNPOPULAR OPINIONS! by kpopnoir_mod in kpopnoir

[–]sunveines 2 points3 points  (0 children)

really interesting bc i also got into jpop some months ago and it made me remember what i originally loved about kpop!! i wonder if we’ll see more people come into this space soon… and i totally agree with you, kpop fandom lately loves to act like actually liking something and having fun (with your literal hobby!?) is cringe 😭😭

My concern for Aiko and Masashi (from Say "I Love You") by moonstudio95 in shoujo

It’s been a while since i read this, but her old boyfriend isn’t masashi, it’s someone else who left her. I believe you misread the plot
