I write about Korean pop, and I'm basically an asshole. You probably shouldn't support what I do, but you could go to my website if you really wanted.

Is this isn’t live right? Sounds prerecorded
it's actually real
hate spotify because, for some reason, they decided it's a great idea to show the amount of listeners per region (and city!) in artists profiles, so if you listen to a nugu with like 5 monthly listeners (VERY common to nugu alert entrees should i add, ahem), you just end up doxxing yourself
hahahaha

oh i've heard tws and riize are very popular amongst korean gay men, especially because they pull off the whole "just some guy next door idk" concept very well (not that other groups haven't done it before them, which makes things lowkey puzzling haha. i guess the actual group named boynextdoor are a bit too on-the-nose about it), though i also suspect a lot of the voters are gay teenagers voting for their faves (which is why, i think, minors like zb1 han yujin rank high - sure there are tons of depraved hyung stans but there are also horny korean 17-year-olds who voted for someone their age).
i guess this is an official shift away from the buff manly man type (i remember wonho beng especially popular) towards the cutieful flower boy type. maybe this too is a sign it's more kids voting than adults? though i'm a woman, i remember liking skinnier ppl - both guys and girls - when i was in high school. as i got older i got to appreciate more muscle, boob, ass, etc
the boyz have always been pretty popular though, i'd say. juyeon is universally loved, across times places and genders
I think the twink has always been a thing in k-pop, because it's such an easy look to acheieve when you're fed virtually nothing
well i dont care about this nj issue cos i never cared about the group or liked their music, some of us are not invested or care enough about whether they tell the truth about mistreatment or lie
noted, everyone let's just wait until court case ends we don't need more commentary on this its all kinda the same and nobody knows shit yet
Yoon situation and his wife situation was getting worse and worse, it was bad news after bad, with the shaman too, he was cornered and did a desperate move + he's known to be stupid so ... it's that simple

do you watch survival shows at all

you can screenshot it, run the photo through google translate, then copy & paste the text to look up the song name, at least that’s what i do idk about other ppl
it's funny to me how AI can detect text in an image but when you ask it to write text as part of an image it all looks like Russian combined with Roman numerals

These are the first Chinese songs I could think of (not Chinese idol pop). Sorry for the Spotify links but I can't read or write Chinese so that was the only way for me to show them lol

who are the 4th gen girls and who are the 5th gen, i'm still confused what the timeline is
we are officially now in 4th gen, we know this because Wonho didn't sweep all categories of the Objectification Survey this year. 4th generation is led by Cocona from XG due to her trendsetting hairstyle which cannot be topped
i think yoon wanted it to go viral, that he got impeached due to doing this rather than the slew of other things he was getting accused of, his wife too had a whole shaman scandal this year
yeah all it's gonna do is make his other scandals known worldwide as people go "why the hell did he do THAT?" and look it up
What do you think was president Yoon's goal when he enacted martial law and why did he fold so fast?
Nobody really knows except him (apparently he blindsided even his own party with this), but I think he knew the clock was ticking on his time in office due to his scandals and low popularity rating so he went the nuclear route to try and salvage his leadership. He folded because the coup didn't work so he really had no choice. Once you play every card you have and lose, what else can you do.
Do you think drama actress Yano Ema looks kinda like Eunha? (e.g. START-110, START-017)
not even slightly
Is this good news?
