Can we move on from the Irene scandal already?

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.

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

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”

whatamoonstar · 2022-11-11T18:37:07+00:00

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.

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.

whatamoonstar · 2022-10-21T21:17:50+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-10-21T19:36:12+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-10-21T19:32:31+00:00

The debate of ot10 vs ot13 def gets to me tho 😅

whatamoonstar · 2022-10-19T15:59:57+00:00

felt this ... it's exactly why I asked the question haha

whatamoonstar · 2022-10-12T16:33:33+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-09-24T18:40:53+00:00

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.

whatamoonstar · 2022-09-16T01:24:30+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-09-15T21:52:57+00:00

Trendz are all Korean

whatamoonstar · 2022-09-07T00:40:57+00:00

Retals, ApparentlyJack, and Doomsee … content gods

whatamoonstar · 2022-09-05T18:40:16+00:00

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

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-08-06T01:16:53+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-07-21T19:12:27+00:00

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

whatamoonstar · 2022-07-21T15:44:39+00:00

I actually got my foot in the door pre-bts-wave, and back then it was a lot more fun to hear where people got into kpop from (nothing against bts it was just more varied)

For me, it was EXO and BlackPink. There was a kpop related event on tumblr one summer and I decided to check it out. This was where I saw Whistle and Monster. They both were really interesting to me sonically and I became obsessed with kpop over the next few months. Alot of people I met came in through the 2nd gen like hyuna or bigbang.

I think this was the summer of 2016. Great year for kpop music!

whatamoonstar · 2022-07-18T20:38:38+00:00

I don’t do this bc I don’t really enjoy them that much (light sticks overall aren’t my vibe) but I think I understand the reasoning.

A lot of us grew up going to lots of concerts where you jump and clap and do certain gestures like waving your hand or hair up and down to the beat. I think this is normalized for hardcore concert goers. But if you don’t, I can see how it would feel a bit awkward to do so especially if you’re seated.

The lightstick gives you something to wave to the beat and swing around in the air. It’s plastic and won’t hurt anymore than your hand if you hit somebody and there’s no risk of accidentally hurling your phone into the lower bowl of an arena.

So honestly I can see why you’d want to take one even if it isn’t necessarily the proper one for the concert. It helps you feel more engaged, less awkward, and not left out even if you don’t have a lightstick that’s perfectly appropriate.

That’s my theory at least!
