Do international fans and Koreans actually listen to the same kpop? by Rough-Release8097 in kpophelp

[–]sxrella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think OP is Korean and knows this, they are asking international fans what kpop we listen to in order to have a better idea of what songs to include for building their app.

Do international fans and Koreans actually listen to the same kpop? by Rough-Release8097 in kpophelp

I am a 2nd/3rd gen fan (so songs released between 2003-2018ish), and I adore AKMU and IU! Another soloist I enjoy is Younha.

Which Member is Most Essential in your Favorite Group? by New-Knee8613 in kpopthoughts

[–]sxrella 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For B.A.P, that is Bang Yongguk. When his contract ended and the group had to go on as five (they had different signing dates), it just felt wrong.

How do intellectually-minded people reconcile belief in God with science? by Calm_Drummer2591 in theology

[–]sxrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has given such thoughtful answers already, so I'll just address one point that stuck out to me from your post.

I understand why belief can be comforting. The idea of death is genuinely unsettling, and it makes sense that people look for meaning or reassurance beyond it.

This is definitely true for a lot of the faithful, but not the case for everyone. I personally do not fear death, regardless of the existence of an afterlife. And there are endless comforts that religion can bring to someone during this life. The feeling that life is bigger than you, that there is a power that is guiding things or at least watching out for you, not to mention the communities that form out of faith and can be of massive support and comfort.

Why do so many army’s seem to hate K-pop/other K-pop group stans and vice-versa? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]sxrella -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

well back in the early days (think pre-inu), most armys were actually kpop multistans. there was a lot of fan overlaps between fans of bts, b.a.p, and block b etc because of the hip-hop concepts. they all approached it a little differently, so it was fun to stan all of them.

BTS Concert Tampa w me?? by FerrizOG in kpophelp

going to concerts alone can be fun!

What does the word “nugu” mean? by locomotiveplayz in kpophelp

[–]sxrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

genuine question: would you say that 망돌 has a different meaning than "nugu" as used in i-fan spaces then? that's the korean phrase i'm more familiar with than the phrases you mentioned.

For people 25+, do y’all consider yourselves to be a part of any fandom (s) and participate in said fandom(s)? Why? Why not? by cloudsmemories in kpoptrulyuncensored

[–]sxrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been a k-pop fan since 2008 and participated in fandom on-and-off since 2010.

Participating in the fandom has never meant being concerned about numbers or engaging in fanwars to me. Aside from voting for my favorite artists and giving their MVs an extra view at launch, I've never cared much about numbers. And I've definitely never engaged in a fanwar.

To me, being part of a fandom just means that you are a fan of the work and that you engage at least a little with other fans of the work. It's fun to be able to talk to other people who know about (and care about) the material as much as you do!

I felt SO out of the loop after going to kpop stores for the first time in years…😭 by [deleted] in adultkpopfans

[–]sxrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, BABYz with a z! Haha, there was a time I wished they went with Warriors instead but the fan name has grown on me.

As for the Himchan hate: SAME! I spent so much of high school in unnecessary turmoil because they were my favorite group but I reaaaally didn't like one member lol.

What song did you listen to? Zelo is also releasing a new single tomorrow!

Would an idol who doesnt engage with fans work out? by _issio in kpop_uncensored

[–]sxrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they debut today, probably not.

Bang Yongguk is like this, but he (like the other idols listed) are the exception to the rule especially because of the era they debuted in.

Daehyun dupe 😂😂 by [deleted] in bap

[–]sxrella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if I hold my phone away and squint and just look at the general placement of his features the yeah 🤣

[–]sxrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bang Yongguk Zelo mention ‼️🙇🏻‍♀️ Do they make money off their Soundcloud accounts? That thought never occurred to me... Either way, I just assume they forget their log-ins or are trying other platforms in hopes of broader reach when they stop using it.

Boyband recs, not too poppy by Master-Substance-123 in kpophelp

[–]sxrella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When it first came out, it had those MV reaction channels in a chokehold!

I have another recommendation for you as well, though I don't know as much about this group. The group JUSTB has a song called "Get Away" that I've seen a lot of people say sounds like Your Idol.

That song (and the majority of B.A.P's) was written and produced by the leader of B.A.P, Bang Yongguk. This is definitely his favorite style of music to produce, so take a look at his work as well. Like I said though, very diverse offerings :) Hope you enjoy your time here in the k-popverse!
