Tbh at this point I thought ITZY was ot4 🤷🏻‍♀️

Dude this is what i listen to now 😹😹

you are so underrated

wonyoungism is just a bunch of teenagers on tiktok buying aesthteically pleasing korean/japanese products and swearing that makes them better than everyone else. It stopped being about trying your best, taking care of yourself and self respect too elitism.

an idol shouldnt have too many duties if performing is their main duty then i wouldnt worry abt fan service. its like expecting them to always be switched on and happy. why do idols do aegyo if they dont like it? fans make them. some idols just want to perform for the sake or interest of performing cut them some slack at least pls lol hes doing enough not every group member has to always be online or doing cute things for fans lmao. i love lee know cause hes real and keeps himself to himself doesnt sell his image to the fans

communist china using ai voice

what you said is fake and cringe, just say communist china support jang wonyoung plastic face and newjeans want to be by saying cringe english proun.

What I've noticed with twice's title tracks is that they rely too heavily on the 80s sound when trying to do a more mature concept despite the 80s wave in both kpop and American music dying out a few years ago. And this maybe an unpopular opinion but I think that Gfriend had a better transition into doing mature concepts than Twice, which may have been due to the fact their title tracks earlier in their career centered on their image as school girls until they eventually started tackling themes like the lost school friendships during adulthood later on. Overall, Gfriend's creative direction made it feel like we were growing up with the members.

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING EXO. Almost all of Kpop-related channels deliberately exclude them. SM's mistreatment of EXO is borderline criminal - from their 10-year slave contract to the little to ZERO promotions to the actual SABOTAGE of comebacks. EXO could've been the biggest, most popular KPOP group and they DESERVE it with their immense talent, hard work and dedication, but their own agency has, time and time again, kept them down.

As a casual listener, I feel like the last time passion was clearly put into the creative direction of an EXO group comeback was Obsession era. SM is lucky that EXO are talented enough to pull off any song that they've chucked at them afterwards.

great commentary

Lisa Rock star was really good, but considering this song is Lisa 'song .Stans are determined to hate.

Great video. I still find that the entire group has inconsistent stage presence, they often look like they’re focused more on the choreo than performing. I just feel like nowadays, K-pop is more focused on perfection than authenticity (even though K-pop has never been authentic). I don’t agree with your Ningning opinion, she’s often the one along with Karina who have pretty consistent stage presence. What you said about Ningning can all apply to every single member of the group. Winter does have a pretty piercing voice that doesn’t really translate emotions well.

i think baby monster is a very good group not just because of their songs lyrically but their vocals, rap, and dance (their dances may seem a bit “boring” but i like them!). the babymonster hate must end!

Early love this video

Isn't this top 2?

I agree.

WOW 😲❤

About the first opinion, as much as I love Lia, I kinda see what u mean. I feel like a lot of Midzy overhype her dancing and genuine criticism is nowhere to be found like yes shes not a bad dancer by any means and I know they are just trying to defend her from haters but I have seen people say she could be a main dancer if she was in another group💀again shes not a bad dancer but please dont be delusional

You are so right about the number 2 someone had to say it

I totally feel you on the “You wanna be Asian” Topic. I wasn’t a big anime fan until 2016 (My Freshman Year in High School), and then and even now it’s really on MHA that I like the most, still trying to broaden my horizons. I’m 2019 is when I got into Kpop and I loved the music so much that I began studying the language so I could understand why I was listening to. Any language learner knows that when studying a language you must study the culture so you know why,where,when to say things. So through studying the culture I found that I actually love the people and I do want my wife to be Korean. My family always says that I’m trying to be Asian 🙄, and it’s actually very annoying; other ppl make it seem like I have a fetish, and you can see that my story has nothing to do with fetishization, but everything to do with respect and wonder. At the moment ppl think that it’s cool that I speak Korean so well, and the ppl on my generation are a lil more understanding on where I’m coming from when I say I’m attracted to Korean Women; I can’t lie and say they looks aren’t a art of my attraction, like duh it is😂😂, but I actually found a few similarities in Korean Culture and History that are like My African American Culture, and I find it so cool

I agree and disagree with you on your first opinion. Yes a lot of blinks who feel threatened by baby monsters existence do hate on sheesh just because it’s from baby monster. However the song it’s is not good. First because the song is not a vocal heavy song and baby monsters mainly talent as a group is vocals so it would be good for them to get a song that suits their talents. Second the chorus was extremely disappointing knowing that the pre chorus was amazing and had many fans hyped up for the rest of the song just to be left with a barely thought out chant chorus, and the other parts of the song were decent (excluding the pre chorus because it was amazing) and weren’t good enough to save that song from that terrible chorus. Third the song was clearly a black pink styled song, I mean of course black pink doesn’t own the girl crush concept but when I played the song I just kept hearing a black pink song (I forgot which song) but a lot of fans would like yg to give baby monster their own identity and not try to keep them riding on the fame of black pink which happened in sheesh (also this is not the girls fault it is 💯 yg’s fault).

Finally someone with common sense, I completely agree with everything you said.

I am so sorry to hear about the news. Of course, you should take a break because of that. I only hope that you are taking the time you need. Please rest well <3 My thoughts on these opinions: 1. Seriously, had this been released by either Blackpink, (G)-IDLE, or even IVE, Sheesh would've been eaten up by the Kpop public, and I'd say that is quite hypocritical of those people who would like the song for that reason. 2. For the next time a straight person asks why LGBT individuals (especially celebrities) are not always out of the closet, shit like this is one reason why. 3. Sadly, the repeat of concepts has always been a thing, and unless a miracle is brought upon us, we might as well keep getting badass boy group and girl crush concepts until the horse is more than dead. While on the other hand, I don't think repeating a concept is bad persay. I believe it's all about who can pull it off the best, and trust me, if competition didn't exist, Kpop wouldn't be as it is now.

SLAYEDD

But Jennie is also an adult. So you are showing favoritism towards Lisa

The point you made about liking anime and K-pop is so true. I remember when I was in middle school we used to get made fun of for liking anime and now since I listen to K-pop people think I’m weird. But just like jhope said music transcends language.

I know KPOP vs western music is a whole separate conversation from what about I'm about say, but I feel the same about when people are all dance pop vs ballads in music conversations. Like, I get it if slower music isn't your thing, but I've heard too many people say that ballads suck just because they're "slow, sappy, sad, the singers are always whining about break ups and BLAH BLAH BLAH!" I sit there listening to this, and I'm wondering if these people have actually listened to ballads in full before because there are so many story genres in ballads that to generalize them as sad break up music is actually hilarious to me. Are there ballads that are bad out there? YES! Of course there are! There's bad versions of literally every music concept and genre. But the excuse I hear for the dance pop stans about the music being happier and more powerful doesn't make sense to me either because lately in the lyric sphere of dance music, a lot of it is about being drowned by drugs and alcohol and just flat out being miserable. Not only that, a lot of dance songs have weak beats that'll force me to sit out until something good like Yeah or Gangnam Style comes on. In short, thank you for bringing the Kpop only listeners conversation to this because I 110% agree that these people need to touch grass sometimes. By the way, the whole conversation of Lisa being added to the best rappers of all time thing will always make me die a few inches inside my soul.

Oh, god! The anime fan thing is sooooo real! Being an anime and Kpop fan who is both not Asian AND IS female is a struggle bus on the edge.

Yeah there’s tons of bops in all genres but it’s kinda weird that some people only listen to KPOP.

Almost at 400 views?!

was i the only one not listening to the opinions and just singing the songs playing in the backround?

4+4?

Wow this is good :3

All Blinks are not toxic. And swearing for such a small matter does not make sense. You know why blinks are so overprotective and toxic? Because of people like you. I'M SORRY BUT CAUSE OF Y'ALL ALWAYS TRYING TO LOOK COOL BY SAYING " OH I UNSTANNED BP" "YEAH, IK RIGHT, BP AND BLINKS ARE THE MOST TOXIC" THESE MAKE GOOD BLINKS *HEARTBROKEN* , SO THEY DECIDE TO CHANGE TO A TOXIC ONE. SAME GOES FOR BTS.

I agree! I don’t like black pink. They seem nice but not for me. I used to like the old bts and i’m a musician so I like things purely for the music but bts has lost a lot of good taste recently

I just knew how you like that would be there

There is no music after the intro
