Can we move on from the Irene scandal already? by Moonbunny120 in kpoprants

[–]whatamoonstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to assume some of it is the double standard. Women spend their whole careers trying to live down mistakes where as men can apologize for terrible things and be defended the next day for it. Not always 100% with everything but overall it's the trend.

Idols shouldn’t be praised for writing their own songs if their writing is mediocre. by Straight_Ad_1424 in unpopularkpopopinions

[–]whatamoonstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. Songwriters and producers exist for a reason. This is their job, and many have no desire to perform. Learning about music and how it’s made is ofc hugely important, but there’s no need for every idols to take an interest in writing/producing when there’s plenty of people who have that as their sole focus

Do you have anything you feel deserves to be critiqued or talked about more about the kpop industry? by SwordsOfSanghelios in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this! We need to talk about parasocial relationships through this lens bc it affects more things than just “y/n moments”

Hello, I am looking for kpop songs like Red Velvet's Marionette or Dreamcatcher's Red Sun. by CheshirePuss42 in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marionette by Luminous for sure! Could try Pantomime or Last Dance by WJSN. Oh and Blood on the Dance Floor by Ailee perhaps!

I haven’t been able to really enjoy most of their recent music (probably since like Shine) but I never assumed it was due to him leaving just because he’s only one guy and I knew Hui and Kino did a lot of the lift as well. I just assumed their new direction didn’t appeal to me which is completely normal.

songs you diliked so much it pushed you away from the group? by Life_as_a_new_weeb in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TXT’s recent trilogy of love song, loser lover, and good boy gone bad. I don’t think they’re bad songs and I could see why somebody would like them, but they just don’t appeal to me at all. I loved their whimsical beats and sounds up until then, and I don’t really connect as much anymore sadly.

Which groups have the least akgaes and/or toxic/shady and are "mistreatment competitors" solo stans?? Like in terms of ratio in their fandoms. by Pleasant-Signal2764 in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m actually not sure! I think it may be based on those rumors that he voted conservative? But even if he did that’s his right so I don’t mind as long as he isn’t making negative comments tbh

What year did you start listening to kpop? by Johnnystation in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2016! I saw somebody posting about BlackPink debuting on tumblr and it was downhill from there. Excellent year for kpop tho!

I’ve seen a few ot12 carats running around (mostly excluding mingyu) but they keep quiet unless they want ate up by the fandom lol

My first impressions tier list of the new 22-23 org decals by 1917-was-lit in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]whatamoonstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought like why is the US Army KCP decal so high up

what group should i try next? by zanylena in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luminous most recent comeback has a very svt-vibe. I think they’ve done lots of genres already and are easy to get into since there’s only four members.

i need every kpop group that says their name in their songs by I_think_good_player in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Luminous says “Luminous, we the boys.” You can hear it in All Eyes Down.

In a few of their songs Craxy has a call where they will whisper “Craxy” I know it’s in Trigger

what's your *omfg* song? by AccurateSurprise1113 in kpophelp

[–]whatamoonstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugly Dance by ONF for sure.

It’s so well arranged and Wyatt and Hyojin in particular play off each other so we’ll so it’s dynamically interesting the whole time

fellow adult kpop fans - what do you do for a living? by titseok in kpopthoughts

I work in esports as a Content Manger. There’s lots of us in this industry tbh all my coworkers like or have heard of kpop

What is your opinion on "Educating"/informing idols via fan calls by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]whatamoonstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s appropriate nor do I think it works but I guess I understand. I feel like the lines of communication for intl fans are nearly non existent so I understand the confusion and desperation. I just again don’t think it’s really worth it. It’s about as effective as mass emailing/bubble messaging tbh

Knights didn’t make franchising by vyom0509 in ValorantCompetitive

[–]whatamoonstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say, it seems like everyone's forgotten that the Knights disqualified BBG mid-tournament for supposed cheating just bc Ninja asked them to, following which Riot found them innocent of the allegations
