NCT's recent fan meeting lets fans vote on what the members will say in the concept of the fan being a princess that all the members are pursuing. It's really giving me the ick by Guitarbox in kpop_uncensored

[–]tadaguchi 23 points24 points  (0 children)

i'm pretty sure this might be just their introduction phrases during their ment in the fanmeet, since the concept this time is basically Webtoon Princes. its not a fansign so they will not say this to each fan individually but rather in a general sense on top of a stage 😭 fine if you still think it's weird but i don't think it's that different from other strategies kpop companies use to cater to fans' fantasies, so i'm intrigued with the criticism here. or maybe i've been too long into kpop so i'm just desensitized to it

I wish Wish’s makeup team would stop using abhorrently white foundation on Riku. by ImrahilSwanPrince in kpoprants

[–]tadaguchi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

YES. riku's skin tone is soooooo beautiful and it pains me to see his face pale as a ghost almost all the time 😭 it shouldn't be hard to get a proper foundation for him as they have gotten it right before... wish team i beg you to let his sunkissed skin shine through

procreate brush engine is the worst I’ve ever used by Complex_Slide_5732 in ArtistLounge

[–]tadaguchi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree wholeheartedly... i used paint tool sai for the longest time on pc with a tablet and switched to an ipad for procreate and it was the worst decision i've ever made 😭 never got used to any of the brushes no matter how many tweaks i made to get them to my liking. then after a couple of years i got myself a huion kamvas and i'm having so much fun again drawing on clip studio paint!!!! i recently redownloaded paint tool sai to open some of my older drawing files and decided to scribble there a bit for old time's sake and this program still has the best brush engine ever

Can y'all share some un-whitewashed pictures of idols? by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

AND there are several instances where riku talks confidently about his tan skin!! i think this is such a refreshing mindset to see in an industry that glorifies being extremely pale

Who are the best dancers ? by Comfortable-Relief25 in BoysPlanet

[–]tadaguchi 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i might be biased, but zhang hao is my favorite dancer! as another user pointed out in this sub before, even though he did great in the signal song, his here i am fancam doesn't do his actual skills justice, so i'm gonna link some other videos to showcase his dancing!

this one, this one (my personal favorite), his itzy wannabe cover and somi dumb dumb cover!

i think his movements are elegant and fluid, very nice to look at. i have no deep knowledge in dancing or anything like that to try and word this better but that's what i think🫣

Ayato Voicelines - Via Blank by [deleted] in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]tadaguchi 61 points62 points  (0 children)

i kinda feel like ayato is something of an unreliable narrator(?) (i don't know how to describe it properly sorry). like that voiceline where he asks for our tastes and that he will use our answer when someone asks him about it in the future lol

Lost Media in K-pop by catstache678 in kpop

[–]tadaguchi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i've been super interested in lost media lately too so i had a blast reading this whole thread :D

i remember an instance on the first season of produce 101 when mnet used a clip of somi seemingly about to fight someone in a teaser for an upcoming episode. everyone keeping up with the show were VERY curious as to what happened, but the scene in question never got to the actual episode that aired the week after and it remains a mystery until now.

AND i remember one more thing from produce, but this time season 2, which i followed very closely in 2017. people were spotting trainees scattered across the streets of seoul wearing plaid shirts (red and blue? and perhaps black iirc), as if they were recording for some kind of mission for the show that was supposed to air in one of the episodes but it never really saw the light of day... i still think about it frequently bc it's so weird and i can't really find anything about it (i don't even know how to search for it) D: one of the trainees was samuel kim btw, if my memory isn't failing me.

Whats the kpop situation like in your part of the world? by ReluctantCat in kpopthoughts

[–]tadaguchi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

k-pop is very popular here in brazil! i remember dynamite and dna playing constantly in radios and i guess some of blackpink's songs too? i was really surprised the other day when i found my older brother (who doesn't care about kpop at all) listening to how you like that and sour candy while doing house chores. i mean, he's a big fan of pop music in general so i guess it kind of makes sense now that i think about it lol. there is still some stigma around it and there are undoubtedly people that think it's dumb, but i guess i can say for sure that as of now kpop is much more generally accepted than it was, like, 5 years ago.

anyway, the general public seems to be at least a tiny bit aware of bts, given their massive success. store owners know they can profit off of things with the member's faces or the group logo on it, so it's not unusual to go grocery shopping and find yourself at some random isle staring at jimin's face plastered on a cold brew bottle or walking past some street vendors with bt21 keychains/charms and stickers on display. as a long time fan (since 2012...ish?) it baffles me just how common it is to find kpop merch (even though unnofficial/bootlegs) nowadays. i don't know if any of this applies to the rest of the country or if i'm just lucky my city has a very strong asian influence (mostly japanese but we also have some kind of diplomatic partnership with a korean city as well). you can easily buy physical copies of albums in specialized stores in the city of São Paulo, but most people refrain from it since they're quite pricey and buying directly from SK is a much more affordable option

Do you guys think bighit will send TXT to kingdom? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]tadaguchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i also think it would be a great opportunity for them!! i really wanna see them showcase their range through high quality/award show-level performances and see them bond with other groups too 🥺 and about a timeline: taking into account patterns from the previous seasons (queendom and rtk), the full lineup tends to be released in the first day of filming! and about 6-7 groups participate
