Guide to K-pop: How Much It Costs

Before Korean pop music, I listened to other genres and languages. All of them were just vibes and performances with the occasional fan interactions. Now, let me tell you how much it costs to guide yourself through this dense culture of K-pop. Disclaimer: I am only a decade long K-pop (technically nine years) fan. I am not Korean born or of Korean descent. I also do not know the first thing…

Release: March 7, 2018

Lyrics (Original):

뻔하디뻔한 내 사랑 이야기야

흔하디흔한 이별일 뿐이야

이미 알겠지만 너 없는 동안 많이

외롭고 힘들기만 했어

너와 있을 때 왜 더 잘해주지 못했는지

이제서야 달콤한 말들이 맴도는지 (eh)

몇 번이야 이야이야

후회만 하니 아이야

저 꽃들만 너무 예뻐 (oh)

Wind flower, wi-wind flower

엇갈린 갈린 우리 이야기

Wind flower, wi-wind flower

우우우우리만 이별일까? (oh 왜, 왜?)

두두두둘이만 아파할까?

다시 또 피어날 꽃잎처럼 (꽃잎처럼 eh)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

바람 불어 기분 좋은 날 (좋은 날 all day)

혼자가 되어 홀가분한 밤 (홀가분한 밤)

우우우우울한 날은 가고 (oh 왜, 왜?) (yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

Yeah 그럴 만했지 그래 한 번뿐인 이별에

소란스러워 나가보면 노크하는 애는 미련이야

식탁 위에 차려진 음식 혼자

덤덤한 척 늦은 식사

무기력 공허함 외로움 yeah

날씨는 구름 기분 down 되어있네

멀쩡한 날이 없어, 모든 게 거슬려 왜

함께 있을 때 왜 더 아름답지 못했는지

둘만의 노래를 이별 가사로 채우는지 (eh)

아파이야 이야이야

후회만 하니 아이야

저 꽃들만 너무 예뻐 (oh)

Wind flower, wi-wind flower

달라져 버린 닮은 우리 둘

Wind flower, wi-wind flower

우우우우리만 이별일까? (oh 왜, 왜?)

두두두둘이만 아파할까?

다시 또 피어날 꽃잎처럼 (꽃잎처럼 eh) (yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

바람 불어 기분 좋은 날 (좋은 날 all day)

혼자가 되어 홀가분한 밤 (홀가분한 밤)

우우우우울한 날은 가고 (oh 왜, 왜?) (yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

그때 널 좋아하지 않았더라면

이 흔하고 흔한 이별도 없었겠죠

나 너 나눠 부른 날부터 (ooh, ooh, ooh)

날 위한 위로는 온전히 내 몫이 되어

별거 아닌 듯 오늘을 살아요

우우우우리만 이별일까?

두두두둘이만 아파할까?

다시 또 피어날 꽃잎처럼 (꽃잎처럼 eh) (yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

Lyrics (English Translation):

바람 불어 기분 좋은 날 (좋은 날 all day)

혼자가 되어 홀가분한 밤 (홀가분한 밤)

우우우우울한 날은 가고 (oh 왜, 왜?) (yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

It’s my obvious love story

It’s just a common breakup

You may already know while you’re gone

I was so lonely and it was just hard

When I was with you Why couldn’t I be nicer to you?

Why are the sweet words lingering in my mouth now?

How many times yeeyah yeeyah

Do I just regret? Ahyeeyah

Only the flowers are so beautiful

Wind flower wind flower

The story of us who missed each other on the way

Wind flower wind flower

Woo woo woo woo do we only break up?

Du du du do only two of us feel the pain?

Like the petals that will bloom again (Like the petals Yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

It’s a good day with the breeze (Good day All day)

A carefree night being alone (A carefree night)

Woo woo woo woo gloomy days are gone

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

You deserve it yes, it was the only breakup

I check outside at the noise The one who is knocking is stupid

The food on the table

A late dinner alone as if I’m okay

Lethargy, emptiness and loneliness Yeah

It’s cloudy I feel down

Everyday isn’t normal Everything is irritating why?

When we were together Why couldn’t we be more beautiful?

Why am I filling the song for only us with the lyrics about breakup?

It hurts yeeyah yeeyah

Do I just regret? Ahyeeya

Only the flowers are so beautiful

Wind flower wind flower

We looked alike but now we’ve changed

Wind flower wind flower

Woo woo woo woo do we only break up?

Du du du do only two of us feel the pain?

Like the petals that will bloom again (Like the petals Yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

It’s a good day with the breeze (Good day All day)

A carefree night being alone (A carefree night)

Woo woo woo woo gloomy days are gone

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

If I didn’t like you at that time

There wouldn’t be this common breakup

From the day I started to call you and me separately

Comfort for me became my responsibility completely

As if it’s nothing special I live today

Woo woo woo woo do we only break up?

Du du du do only two of us feel the pain?

Like the petals that will bloom again (Like the petals Yeah)

Get better day by day

Get better day by day

Lyrics (Romanization):

It’s a good day with the breeze (Good day All day)

Woo woo woo woo gloomy days are gone

[94erz]

BigHit is psychotic to release so much content where all the members talk about just being blatantly abused by the k-pop system with emotional music to downplay the effects it had on them.

Like I'm sure that part is going to get SO many ARMY crying and praising them all for overcoming that period of burnout and struggle but for me hearing Taehyung talk about wanting to take a single day off, being told no, and being so exhausted he was essentially begging for an injury just so he could rest is batshit insane.

And yet, again, fans are told we can't hate their management, BigHit/HYBE do everything for the sake of their artists, to protect them, which included a decade of never letting them see their families on holiday, working them to the point of absolute exhaustion, and their blatant favoritism when it comes to financially supporting their artists. Fuck that.

''That's just fame, that's just k-pop, they wouldn't be as famous as they are if they didn't make that sacrifice'' like no, literally no. I can't even begin to go into how gross of a mentality this is.

Worse is knowing that it didn't change then, nothing has changed.

[weirdfishy]

and suddenly i find myself on an unquenchable quest for knowledge (guy who’s been spending hours reading k-idol info pages)

31/12/2023 . Y/N’S APARTMENT . 12:34

You had told yourself you weren't going to read the bloody article. That you didn't care what the world had to say about you anymore, and that anyone who was still using your name was only doing so for nostalgia's sake. Even the stupid title was pissing you off, 'looking back on Korea's biggest idols!', how utterly ridiculous, it had been almost six years since the world had heard from you, yet they were treating your name like you'd been dead for two decades.

It took a few seconds of scrolling to find your own name, kindly placed at number three out of the mere fifty-odd names mentioned.

'L/N Y/N, more commonly known as SOL, was one of the most well-known idols between the years 2013 to 2017. her unique alternative sense of fashion, and her hybrid mix of Korean pop and rock set her aside from other idols around this time. Having signed with YG Entertainment, who wanted to defer from the typical idol aesthetic, solo artist Y/N was used as a test to kickstart this new sub genre of K-pop.' Where did they even get this information from? Wikipedia? Famous birthdays?

It wasn't incorrect, per se, but the wording left an icky feeling lingering inside your stomach. They'd made you seem important, as though you'd actually managed to make some kind of change within the industry. You had tried, God, you tried, but there was only so much you could say when nobody was willing to listen.

Against your better judgement, you kept reading.

'As part of the YG family, Y/N was well acquainted with their other artists, such as BIGBANG and 2NE1, and has participated in many collaborations with the aforementioned groups.' Christ Almighty, you were half tempted to throw your laptop across your living room. Technically, you had asked for this, to relive the past, but actually reading it, seeing the words on your screen, brought the memories of your past crashing down on you in waves.

You should have stopped there, as soon as you'd caught a glimpse of their names written in an ugly font. Perhaps it was curiosity, or some sort of morbid punishment for yourself, that forced you to read on.

'At the beginning of 2018, L/N Y/N was involved in a series of controversies relating to BIGBANG members Choi Seung-hyun (T.O.P) and Kwon Ji-yong (G-Dragon). After a whistleblowing incident, it was revealed to the public that Y/N had been partaking in the act of smoking marijuana, along with rumours of an inappropriate relationship between herself and the two aforementioned males. These issues were detrimental to her fall in fame and respect as an idol.'

That was the last straw. The one that made you slam your laptop shut and quite literally chuck it to the other end of the couch. Then, you yelled. Screamed until your throat became raw and then screamed some more.

As if they knew the truth, as if they knew anything about you and the people you love— loved.

author’s note: hi! the amount of love shown to triple threat already has been so nice to see, and i’m super happy to share the story! i thought posting a little sneak peak would keep you guys excited for the first chapter

a simple stray kids guide (for baby stays) ✨

overview: stray kids, or skz for short, is an 8-member korean boy band that debuted on march 25th, 2018 under jype ent. they were formed through a survival show in 2017 with originally 9 members, but one member left the group a year after debut for unknown reasons. there are three subunits to the group: 3racha the rap/producer unit, danceracha the dance unit, and vocalracha the vocal unit. of course, though, all of them do a bit of everything.

stray kids were considered an “experimental group” since the leader of the group was tasked with choosing all the members himself, and coming up with the name, logo, and fandom name of the group. as a group, they produced all their own music as well. they were relatively small for a while but by the time they released their song god’s menu, they were growing in popularity.

now stray kids have had many accomplishments, including: performing at lollapalooza, being the first k-pop group invited to the met gala, becoming ambassadors for brands like versace and gucci, winning around 82 awards, and producing an ost for the deadpool movie. they've also recently set a guinness world record for the first ever group to have #1 albums 5 times in a row over the course of only 8 months!

while they are incredibly talented and successful celebrities, they’re also very down to earth, and very connected with their fanbase. they’ve shown openness and vulnerability with their fans by releasing songs with serious topic matters, crying on stage, and talking about their emotions/experiences. personally, they’re the only band i’ve ever seen who feel genuine love for their fanbase.

fun facts: chan has hypermobile arms and legs, and can turn his hand 360°. he sometimes wears wrist and knee braces due to overextension. chan won many medals in swimming growing up and could’ve gone into that career. along with that, he’s also good in many other sports like soccer and track. chan's hair is naturally curly!

fun facts: minho toured in japan with bts as a backup dancer when he was in highschool. minho has acrophobia, the severe fear of heights, and he cannot swim. minho is well-trained in taekwondo, boxing, and bodyguard martial arts. minho said that the reason he isn’t comfortable showing his abs like some other members do is because he has a scar on his stomach from a surgery he had as a child.

fun facts: hyunjin has a fear of sudden loud noises, like balloons popping. hyunjin is the tallest member at 5 '11. hyunjin was going to be an interior designer before he became an idol. hyunjin is an artist in multiple forms of media, but he’s most interested in sketching and painting. hyunjin had a live called “counseling center” where he would read his fans’ comments and give them advice/encouragement. hyunjin once broke his hand and now he can't really bend his right pinky finger.

basics: jisung was born in korea like his older brother. his family moved to malaysia when he was about 8, where they stayed for a while before coming back to korea. his parents weren’t particularly supportive of his desire to become a trainee at first, but they made a deal with him that if he could be accepted into a company before a certain amount of time, they’d let him continue. if not, he’d have to go back to school to get another job. luckily he made it into jype, and became chan’s very first member of choice. like hyunjin, jisung is an introvert, but he’s very loud and energetic at the same time.

fun facts: jisung started learning english in malaysia, which may be why his accent when speaking english is faintly british. jisung has been open with his fans about his struggles with social anxiety and depression. he also supposedly has trypophobia, the fear of clusters of holes, but that isn’t proven. jisung has a bichon frise named bbama. jisung and hyunjin were the real enemies to besties.

instagram: yong.lixx

basics: felix was born and raised in sydney, australia, with his older sister raechel and his younger sister olivia. he was 17 when he moved to korea to become a trainee at jype, where he studied korean at the same time, as his parents didn’t raise him to speak the language very much. it’s been said by chan that he was particularly hard on felix during their time before debut because he saw potential in him, and he wanted him to do his best to succeed. felix is known as the sunshine of the group, for the fact that he’s incredibly sweet and happy.

fun facts: felix debuted his runway model career at a louis vuitton fashion show. felix is a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo, which he won 63 medals in over the course of 12 years. felix has a very deep voice that doesn’t match his face, and he will occasionally make his own asmr content. felix has volunteered in laos with/become an ambassador for unicef. felix is so afraid of scary things, he’s admitted to reading his bible after watching a horror movie. felix cries easily.

positions: lead vocalist in vocalracha, dancer, rapper

skzoo: puppym

instagram: miniverse.___

basics: seungmin was born and raised in korea, along with his older sister. he moved to LA as a child for only about 3 months, but that’s where he started his study in english and where he got his english name from a teacher. he trained for one year after winning 2nd place in jype’s 13th open audition, before debuting with stray kids. seungmin is basically an ambivert (it’s not conclusive if he’s introverted or extroverted), and tends to playfully bully his members. he can be pretty random and silly.

fun facts: seungmin wanted to be a baseball player before becoming an idol, and he actually pitched a strike at a game for the second time recently (the first time he was about 9 years old). seungmin was into boxing, although i’m not sure if he is anymore. seungmin and felix have a live called “cat puppy school” where they just mess up recipes constantly. seungmin is the only idol i’ve seen that seems to have autistic traits, from my own autistic prospective. i’m not diagnosing him of course!

stage name: i.n

age: 23 (february 8th, 2001)

basics: jeongin was born and raised in busan, korea, along with his older brother who’s in the military, and his little brother yoon. he was a trainee for about 2 years, and was only 17 when they officially debuted. he bonded especially with hyunjin, who basically took him under his wing at the time. jeongin is introverted, but follows his hyungs’ lead into chaos. he’s very clumsy, and he’s known as the spoiled maknae. the “baby bread” of the group.

fun facts: jeongin wanted to be a kindergarten teacher, social worker, or priest before becoming an idol. jeongin has a more nasally voice, so he’s particularly good at the trot singing style. jeongin has claimed he was a naughty child, running away from home and laying down in the middle of stores when he couldn’t get what he wanted. jeongin is incredibly good with fashion, so his members come to him for advice, and he often posts ootd’s on his instagram.

GRP + MEMBERS

AEON (애이언) is a diverse K-pop co-ed group that consists of 8 members: Kura, Ten, Al, Feng, Kira, Kyu, Namgi, and Angel who are formed by Big Hit Entertainment under hype labels. Aeons lore is deeply connected into their concept, often featuring themes of self-growth and fantasy. The group's debut concept was centered around the idea of AEON’s debut mini album released on March 6th, 2015 with “Cast ON!” and title track “Magic”. the subsequent releases follow this narrative And highlight the conflict between personal identity and burdened by society with robotic expectations of perfection, choosing not to escape but to redefine their narrative, embracing their individuality, dreams, and flaws, fostering respect for the authenticity within each.
