Modern k pop as a genre and the fanbase are interesting because most of it seems to be dedicated to willing these girls to be able to dance and sing adequately then lying that they did.

It's sad how much they're trained but aren't very good or at least the industry enables bad habits and it's not like the genre demands much vocally . Maybe it's because k pop idol stuff is mainly geared to teens so it feels kind of dumb to me, especially the dancing.

Many seem to enjoy being involved in k pop fan stuff more than the actual music. The way they release new girl groups like a new phone is crazy and the fact " visuals" is role like singer or dancer. It's very open that they're products.

NCT 127's Sticker

Sticker is a song that is infamous in the k-pop industry. Like, we’re talking NMIXX’s O.O infamous for anyone who began getting into the genre after 2021. I won’t mince my words. I hate this song, and I hate it because it was so close to being alright. It’s really not that bad; it has decent parts and even a pretty good chorus. Unfortunately, I can’t focus on any of that because of the 2nd grade child scream-playing a flute directly in my ear while an infuriating metronome-esque ticking noise echoes through the whole thing and bunch of twenty-something men one flimsy clothing piece away from being shirtless hip-thrust at the screen. Give me O.O or Gingamingayo any day of the week, heaven help me.

Thoughts I have randomly

Those are just some thoughts I had in random times and random moments and someday I maybe post what each and one of those means. But for now let's just jump into the topics.

Puberty gives us superpowers

Eggs are chickens "menstruation"

If we'd ate cow's breasts lactose intolerants would be reactive to it?

You're a planet, The cells are the good citizens, the white cells are the army and polices and the germs and bacterias are the "criminals".

Men are more carbon and hydrogen than women.

Animals have their own minds and traumas, and not all of them are good at heart.

Traumas can affect your way of thinking and turning you into someone you wouldn't become without them.

Water has taste.

Babygirl is a derogatory term (when used to boys).

I admire people with neurodivergencies, it makes them grander than they'd be, without this.

That's it for today. Peace out.

this might be a relatively popular opinion , but something that really irritates me within kpop is when idols who aren’t naturally pale are edited to hell and back to be whitewashed beyond comprehension😒

like who is that person idek them anymore bcs it’s a whole different idol 😭 and yeah yeah ik it’s prevalent in kpop bcs of standards and blah blah blah but idgaf just PLEASEEE this one is for the fan site girlies PLEASEEE stop whitewashing idols so much i get face tuning them or wtv ( i don’t like it but okay) but making an idol who’s not particularly tan or pale and making them into fucking edward cullen and turning idols with lovely tan skin into something unrecognizable is crazy to me !!

that’s why i love getty images and news sites photos bcs they won’t try to cover up anything unnecessarily yk or whitewash them lol and i find it funny when fans (mostly kfans) get mad about them saying dumb stuff like ‘oh this is evil’ ‘making them look bad’ etc etc likeee that is a whole human being im sorry they look like one ?? idk 😭

**also love the new trend on twt of reversing the whitewashed/snow app photos**

I Ranked All BLACKPINK Members Solo Debuts

In this video, I ranked all BLACKPINK members solo debuts. All BLACKPINK members have made their solo debuts. Jisoo was the last member to make a solo debut. Congrats to her. And congrats to the other members who have made solo debuts in the past.

I was meeting up with a childhood friend, who is really into BTS, ATEEZ, NCT, and more of the newer generation K-pop groups. We started talking about the concerts she’ll be going to and whatnot. During our convo, she said, “so since you don’t like K-pop, what do you listen to?”

Let me say that I do like K-pop, but I don’t follow the newer generations. I come from G.O.D, SHINee, Big Bang, TVXQ/DBSK, GG, Brown Eyed Girls, 2PM, Day6, SG Wannabe, and so many more. I’m currently into pH-1, DPR Live, Simon Dominic, Eric Nam, GRAY, and more of that genre. Also, I have been following K-pop much, much longer than she has (hence my change of genre).

I asked her what she meant and she said, “well, you don’t follow BTS or any of the current groups.” I was LIVID.

I replied, “my groups crawled and bled so that your groups could fly. Remember that the next time you attend a world tour that my groups were always denied and had to fight for.”

It frustrates me that so many newer K-pop fans blatantly discount older K-pop groups and ignore the fact that without them, their groups wouldn’t be where they are today. I’m not saying that newer groups owe it to older groups, but without the older generations, the newer K-pop groups wouldn’t be where they are today. I know it’s a very common thing in the entertainment world, but to tell me that because I don’t stan newer K-pop groups that I’m not a K-pop fan is very frustrating. I feel that many people would love to support newer groups, but it’s the fans that drive them away. One of my friends, who has been listening to K-pop as long as I have (10+ years), she and I feel that it’s exhausting to deal with fans more so than keeping up with the groups.

I’ve watched my groups go through so many legal battles, denied simple human decency, and get torn apart by everyone with much less support than newer K-pop groups have now. My groups fought and lost so much, but these battles started the ball rolling for future K-pop groups. Mental health, bullying, unfair contracts and treatment, eating d*sorders, performing abroad, and so much more. I’m so happy that the newer K-pop groups have a better chance at fighting and being healthier. I have groups that I love and would give my soul for, but I am in support all groups because they all work hard and give it their all. All groups, whether older or newer, deserve (healthy) love, support, and respect.

Anyone else think 4-Town from turning red was based off Seventeen in a way. It's like a k-pop group that has a number in it (4-Town) but has a different amount of members... Like I'm with Mei Mei's mom on that.. "Why is it 4-Town when there are only 5 of them?" and for Seventeen, there's 13 members like what 😭 Don't get me wrong, I love seventeen (In a way ig...) and 4-Town can hit the spot every once in a while but like.. bruh...
