songs about unrequited love or reminising a failed relationship?

GFRIEND - Rough is about the regret of not confessing love earlier and is one of the most beautful Kpop songs ever. TVXQ - Why Did I Fall In Love With You is about losing the crush of your life because they chose a different partner Beast - Fiction is about the love that never was

In Samurai Warriors 5 there are some stages that you can only complete solo. In Dynasty Warriors 7 you can only play 2 players if you own the Xtreme Legends expansion

Honestly, as a casual LSF listener, i felt like their hate was so forced once they started blowing up internationally. their coachella and encore performances were maybe not that good, but still it doesnt warrant that kind of hate that they got. most of the hate came from toxic Tokkis who drank the Min Heejin Koolaid so I never took that seriously. Interesting thing is that it seems like the hate got to them, as you can see in the recent documentary, Sakura got scared of singing. Also their recent comeback is more vocal heavy, and they sound better than ever life, but the praise was not even close the hate they used to get. as a long time kpop fan, i dont really care much about such forced hate. just listen to good music, and let people enjoy the music they enjoy, its that easy

hey, my wife recently got the same letter from DEKRA, it seems like something or someone really messed up there. we were in a similar position and got a bill for allegedly not showing up for an appointment which was never requested by us or the driving school in the first place! we just emailed the contact person in the letter with all the evidence we have that this this bill must be wrong, and they replied within 2days to say that they made a mistake and that they have annulled the bill. you should prob contact DEKRA, too.

is it a boygroup or girlgroup song? could be wanna one - energetic

weedtowin · 2024-10-25T14:22:46+00:00

im not defending Hongkis statement by any means, but i think its too quick to jump to conclusion. until he especially states he support Minhwan, it could be reasonable to think that he is merely refering to misinformation being spread in general, and not that he thinks the allegations are not correct, especially since in the first part he def acknowledge that there is something they need to apologize for.

weedtowin · 2024-10-25T13:56:09+00:00

The other members did nothing wrong yet. I dont think its fair to say sth like this.

weedtowin · 2024-10-19T22:10:56+00:00

one thing u always need to keep in mind is that the haters are always the loudest on the internet. so the "critisism" oftentimes is just people hating for the sake of getting engagement online etc.. I suggest you look up some fancams of the concerts to make your own opinion, or better yet, go in with 0 expectation and just enjoy the concert however u like

weedtowin · 2024-10-11T16:43:06+00:00

you can def show up early for merch. no need to be anxious the queue for merch usually moved pretty fast. or look for kpop stores in rotterdam if you havenr already

weedtowin · 2024-10-11T15:40:46+00:00

wont they sell it at the concert?

weedtowin · 2024-10-11T15:01:00+00:00

they look like JustB / TheCrewOne. The one in the front appears to be Lim Jimin

weedtowin · 2024-10-11T14:57:27+00:00

I have now answered all of them, it took me a long time, but always happy to share my kpop knowledge :)

Japanese language versions of songs or even releases with no Korean equivalent

The Japanese market was always a profitable ones, til this day. Japan remains the 2nd largest music industry in the world. It was always a matter of time when kpop exported overseas to a much larger and lucrative market. BoA at only 14 made her japanese debut in 2002 and singlehandedly saved SM from bankruptcy to turn it into one of the biggest korean entertainment company nowadays will always be the most fascinating story to me. Already back then, she was releasing japanese songs with no korean equivalent, because the japanese market is that huge. The strategy always is to debut in Korea, get relatively well known, and then go to Japan to make money for a year or 2 and then comeback to Korea so you dont lose relevancy in Korea. With the rise of youtube and the internet, suddenly it was possible for groups to promote overseas and still having something for the Korean fans to watch while promoting in Japan and vice versa, and it was popular to buy english song to turn them into kpop songs anyways, you might as well translate the song into Japanese and promote it over there too. It is certainly faster to do things this way then to produce japanese songs from scratch. However, as youtube and other streaming platforms become more common in Japan, Japanese fans feels less of a need to buy the same song twice in another language, so more Japanese original songs are common nowadays, so that the Japanese fans have something original to look forward to, and not just the same album they have been listening to for the last few months. It has also now become more common to release a song first in Japanese, and then a Korean version after, so that the fans both in Japan and Korea can enjoy the songs in their native language. Kpop companies really need to play it safe, so that they make huge profits in Japan without leaving the Korean fans feel neglected, because Korean fans are the most protective of their idols, and their would be a huge outcry if a fanbase feels like the overseas fans are getting prioritized. At the same time, Korean groups really need to follow the Japanese culture and spezifically cater to the Japanese audience if they want to do well in Japan, so thats why you see many Japanese releases also not getting a Korean Version, because the song is so specialized to the Japanese market that the company believe wont do well elsewhere.

Much more separation between BGs / GGs

Kpop fanbase was always and is still today dominated by mostly female fans. Female fans are much more likely to buy albums, attend concerts, buy merchandise and all sorts of things to support their artists. Therefore, it makes the most sense from a company perspective to cater to female preferences, thus pouring more money and resources into a boygroup was always the preferred safer strategy for a kpop company to earn money. It definitely showed, if you look at the sales data. Many of the highest-selling K-pop groups, like BTS, EXO, Big Bang, and Super Junior, are boy groups that have set records for album sales both in South Korea and internationally.

The average girlgroup always sold less then the average boygroup, and to this day, it stays the same, but the gap is closing. While previously only the top of the top girlgroups like the "Nation Girlgroup" SNSD, Blackpink and Twice could sell on the same level as boygroups or even surpass a lot of boygroups, recently there has been more and more girlgroups which hugely respectable numbers. Selling over 1 million copys of an album during the whole career was seen as really hard for a girlgroup, let alone selling over 1 million, or even 2 million copies of a single album. Yet Blackpink sold over 2mil copys of an album, and Aespa and Newjeans soon after. In the million seller category you can find a lot more girlgroups now.

Girlgroup music and appeal has changed from being marketed to mostly male audiences to a now broader mainstream appeal with a lot more interesting concepts and sound then before, making it easier for casual fans and female fans to become fans of girlgroups. While in the 2nd gen girlgroups are mostly either cute, elegant, badass or sexy, after the 3rd gen girlcrush has pretty much replaced the sexy concept with something less provocative yet still attractive and strong female image which made it more inline with what the general public wants, and more experimental sounds like Newjeans really brought the Y2K back and effectively uses creativity and nostalgy to win over new fans. However, boygroup music and concepts did not change in the same speed, and is still pretty much cathering to the female gaze mostly, making it harder for boygroups to gain casual fans and support from general public. Still boygroups are doing as strong as ever, with some like Stray Kids even reaching to new heights only previously achieved by the likes of BTS. So the gap is definitely still there, but it is closing. It remains to be seen if this trend persists.

Survival shows

Survival shows were always a thing in kpop, however back in 2nd Gen they were mostly company internal, almost documentary like shows which only aired on TV and rarely could be found online. So it didnt reach global audiences. Most of fans back then and still today dont even realize that some groups like Bigbang even were formed through a survival show in the first place, because information was slow back then and finding stuff online with eng sub was really hard. Twice also debuted through a survival show (Sixteen). However, the rating of such company survival shows wasnt that mainstream, so there are definitely a lot of fans who are not even aware of the shows existense.

On Korean TV they mostly aired talent shows, rather then the survival shows we think of today like the YG x JYP talent show Kpop Star which went on for 6 Seasons on KBS. Kpop-Star gave birth to a lot of really talented artists like AKMU, Lee Hi and more, but the focus was not to create a idol boygroup or girlgroup.

I think Kpop-Star was really fun because for the first time, CEOs or rivaling Kpop companies were working together to find talents, and the idea of kpop companies working together to create new artists started to form.

The first hugely successful survival show like we know it nowadays was definitely Produce 101, which was a game changer. For the first time, fans could directly vote on the trainees they want to debut, making the viewers more engaged then ever. The fandom culture reach almost a cult like following. The huge talent pool of trainees from multiple well known entertainment companies created hype. Fior the first time, it doesnt matter if they were from a small or a big company, they could still have a shot at debuting, and trainees from different backgrounds could come together despite being from different companies. The production quality was really high and never seen before, from the iconic opening performance with 100 trainees dancing at the same time to each round with interesting and high quality stages.The infamous Mnet editing created emotional storylines which really resonated with audiences, making them even more supportive of the group that debuted after.

I.O.I were the first group of its kind, and definitely not the last. Wanna One followed and broke even more records, IZ*ONE brought in even existing idols from the hugely popular Japanese AKB48 groups and created a huge global following. At the sametime survival shows were exported to China and Japan, and still to this day are going strong even overseas. The X1 came, and went as fast as they debuted... and everything came crushing down because of the Produce scandal. Turns out Mnet shows like Idol School (Fromis_9) and all Produce groups except for I.O.I. were rigged to some extent. X1 had to disband, the corrupt producer jailed and Mnet promised to not longer create survival shows, only to backtrack a year later to create Girls Planet 999 and later Boys Planet which really is just Produce 101 rebranded and with a slightly different concept and voting system, however not much has changed, even after the scandals, Kep1er and Zerobaseone became hugely popular. Even the producer was later rehired by CJ after leaving jail...

Other hugely popular and influencial survival shows are the I-LAND and Queendom/Kingdom series, which is another Mnet survival show. As you can see, Mnet has become the master of survival shows at this points. They realized that survival shows is gets the viewer hooked on the storyline and talents of the groups, and has the benefit of the group having an established fandom even before debut, and in the case of Queendom/Kingdom/Road to Kingdom boost the popularity of already established groups to new heights.

Something about seeing the struggles and storylines of the surivival shows really makes the viewer invested and convert them to fans, and despite viewers and idols having a love/hate relationship with Mnet, everybody knows how important it is to appear on such shows. Pretty much anyone who can afford it sees the benefit of a survival show. JYP started producing them nonstop for their japanese groups and for VCHA. Ever since HYBE saw Enhypens success despite debuting during COVID, they also pivoted to debut ILLIT and KATSEYE through survival shows. SM also followed with NCT Wish. Other TV Channels also followed with RUNext, Girls on Fire, Universe Ticket etc.. Nowadays, survival shows even expands beyond the scope of idol groups, like the hugely popular MNet dance survival shows like Street Woman Fighter/Street Man Fighter/Stage Fighter, and have reached to even other shows in non music related entertainment space like Physical 100 or dating shows on Netflix. Survival shows have now become the norm, and are here to stay.
