5 Most USELESS Things In Kpop

[@Evergladez]

Aespa's ai concept is good in theory it's just that sm doesn't currently have the infrastructure to make the most out of it. In time I think it will get there as we saw the best use of them in the smcu.

[@blinkifyouareablink8785]

Yeah, SM made it so difficult for my dumb brain to understand

[@nananini3073]

It is bcoz nobody cares to know more about the AI. Imagine they make seperate story for AI, like making 10eps of anime starred that AI, maybe like K-ON. After the AI itself gain their own fans, it might be more fun to see them on stage with aespa.

[@Angel-uo5yi]

Honestly The AI are interesting in the Smcu but in the MVS they're so Garbage Can you really compare them to K/DA? Like Evelyn, Kai'sa, Ahri and Akali look better than The AI and their hair changes, their clothes change, And they aren't as stiff as the AI And they are their own characters /Personalities The AI are just the glorified shadows of Aespa Like literally they're just shadows

[@Evergladez]

@@Angel-uo5yi yeah missed opportunities with the videos imagine if they used the a.i.s by giving them a bside video that way the girls don't have to learn more than choreography and they could go all out for example lucid dreaming they could've been really experimental with animation and effects there but still I don't see that happening until maybe when they start making full albums.

I actually like the AI concept of AESPA but I do have a problem . I don't like when those Avatars dance with or have more screen time than any members . I like it when the members and avatars just interact with each other for short time like they showed in Black Mamba & Next Level . I don't want these avatars to come with members and dance .

Another totally dumb thing in kpop: Destroying someones career just because they have a personal life. I still can't get over how so many people and even so called "fans" or better toxic fans hated Chen for having a wife who was pregnant. It was so disgusting to see how they treated him for such a long time, burned his merch and demanded that he should leave EXO because he betrayed them, just used them, etc. Or Bobby who felt like he had to apologize numerous times for the exact same thing so he won't get cancelled (Not to mention some people hating him for apologizing, like he regretted having a family. What's totally wrong, because it was for such very long time so obvious how dearly he wished to have a family and his own children) Generally all these dating scandals are just so unnecessary and I miss the time where idols could root for or talk freely with each other without immediatly having to fear a dating scandal.

When it comes to shipping two people in a romantic way, it always makes me wonder if people (fans) have no love life them selfs. How can you be so obsessed over people and their love life? People you don’t know. Especially the edits and fan analysis. Edit: I know that a lot of the shippers are teens 13 or 14, but it’s important to teach them that shipping (romantically) not okay. And let’s be honest it makes the whole kpop experience a lot les fun. Not to mention that it messes up friendships and people get harassed just because they don’t agree with the shippers. So let’s stop using the “they are young kids” excuse.

[@unknown3079]

i used to see the ship in my fav group as a bestfriend ship (except for idols that are truly dating such as dawn and hyuna i don't ship any idols which makes me think people also ship them as friends especially because those are same group ship) but then i saw a comment talking about which ship they think is real or not based on "conflicts" on cam *that is the moment i realized people actually ship them as a couple* 🗿

I agree with all the points in this video especially shipping and the MR remove concept. 1. Shipping- especially within the group members must be so uncomfortable for idols. They are coworkers so it’s very awkward for them. Don’t ruin their work relationship and dynamics. 2. MR removed. I agree it doesn’t prove an idol’s ability to sing at all! Removing music from the vocal doesn’t mean that the vocal is live.

[@lucychu5350]

Another thing is how quickly Netizens jump to conclusion. A simple post from someone would blow the heck up as long as it criticized a popular idol. Without any evidence at all online commentators are always quick to bash that person and say how they needed to be kicked out of their group. Eg: Soojin (G-Idle), Lucas (WayV) & Jimin (AOA). Even though this might be the case where they are guilty these idols take responsibility but the internet still wont let up and let them grow. From then on they are known as Idols who disappointed their fans because of one mishap like people dont make mistakes and make bad decisions. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISE THIS!! Fans say they support their idols but one wrong move and all the support is gone. Just shows how fickle so called 'support' is.

Aespa has a very "specific" concept that can't be changed, because they already made a story, new meanings and the AIs. That's why they can't do any other concept that this one.

Like since the beginning of this year, you can't buy ACE memberships in Lysn anymore, and they already announced that many features are coming for the app. So, I feel like with this future updates one of the new features must be one that allows more interaction with the æ versions in the digital world, as well as others, like the one of the alarm with the idols' voices announced in SM's Conference. They are just preparing the group for more groundbreaking things, but I agree that they could at least give the æs more protagonism in the MVs.

And idols has to do literally everything just to makes fans happy, or if not their career will be destroy. But sadly, from the beginning, this relationship has already established this way. I just hope fans can’t stop controlling their faves, and I wish Idols can gain more freedom and speak their mind.

In many games, there's a feature where we can edit our avatar appearance. Aespa is still very young in their adventures. Maybe, they're still unable to unlock that feature, yet. 😅

Honestly The AI are interesting in the Smcu but in the MVS they're so Garbage Can you really compare them to K/DA? Like Evelyn, Kai'sa, Ahri and Akali look better than The AI and their hair changes, their clothes change, And they aren't as stiff as the AI And they are their own characters /Personalities The AI are just the glorified shadows of Aespa Like literally they're just shadows

Fanwars Sometimes you gonna see that the idols are obviously friends or like each others' music but fans still fight like... it's just dumb

[@JaneJannie]

I think that everything is toxic when it's too much, even the opposite situation (when people want to prohibit all things from those vid). Sometimes idols need to have fair skin for some concepts (for example vampires/ ghosts or else). You can baby an idol by comforting him/her or telling sweet words of love (not to command him how to live their life as if you were his/her parent!). You can ship them in innocent way (without doing vulgar or porn stuff, or at least not to publish it). Just let idols be, work and make their own mistakes (and let them find their own way to fix those mistakes). They need some space to move and some air to breath. Same thing with their fans! When a fan call an idol a cute baby he/she doesn't necessarily mean that he/she wants an idol to wear a babysuit and to suck a pacifier! Often this is nothing more than an expression of support and love. Say no to overprotection and so no to overreaction.

[@muhammadhaiza6585]

Im sad that sometime fans ship male idols woth female idols just because of little interaction or eye contact it probably make them uncomfortable that make them cant show their friendship in front of the media

[@claravian]

Agreed for most of this, but for the MR removed, you can diffrentiate which one is real or pre recorded vocals from the show the video was taken. For example all the MR removed that used clips from the korean live show like Yoo Huiyeol's Sketchbook or Immortal Songs 2 are real live vocals, since this kind of show prioritize live performance over all other things and didn't make much change on post production. MR removed from music shows on the other hand, is diffrent case, since pre-recorded vocals and post production often found in this type of video thus removing the MR not really works in showcasing the real vocals. So yeah, not entirely unreliable but not that useless either. I know it doesn't really determine how talented an idol was from their MR removed video, but it was still pretty impressive for the idol who actually sounds good in one.

I saw a video that was shipping Taekook romantically or I say Sexually(Title-Taekook Sexual Tension or something like that) Shit I feel very cringe remembering that video. Jungkook was just looking at Tae during Award acceptance Speech(along with all members)and Delulu Fans started to give their own theory (approved by immature Delulu Fans ).Tae was giving speech so what does they expect Jungkook to go backstage and do bapsae dance instead of appreciating teammate speech 😑😑 . Now the member of Same group can't look at each other, can't smile or even talk giggling cuz immature fans will start unnecessary shipping. Also ***** Jealous moment !!! Why the fuck will be they jealous of their team mate. Idols spend 24/7 hours with their members (Jin said BTS members live 360/365 together) which mean they are most closest with each other.They share Happiness, Sadness or every thing with each other.They are more like brother/sister than friends.So it's normal things among Siblings right? please Stop Shipping these idols. Jungkook is shipped with every female idol of the industry. Jk accidentally make eye contact He is shipped with her.He breathe same time with some female idol He is shipped. He is the most sexualized kpop idol. And Now Ni-Ki who is just 15 years old. Imagine how they feel. Idol are human and these Shippers are really hurting idol feelings. They have their own life in which a random person who consider themself as a Fan can't interfere. I don't know that idol name but he said that he can't make eye contact with his own bandmate due to those cringe FF. Stop making Idols uncomfortable.If you support them you have to know your limit.You are just a Fan among Million who is supporting him/her for their music/song/message they spread. It doesn't mean you can do anything like you own them. If someone ship you sexually with your close friend and post it on SNS how will you feel?Idols feels the same

[@pinkblood7859]

The only problem in aespa's ai concept is the CGI most of the time the ai characters seems to be stiff and I don't like their talking voice, the outfits given to them are poor nothing iconic. I hope they do an aespa series or something, they are doing it but the 2nd episode hasn't came out yet. Overall if they work on these things they will remain iconic forever.

[@notdefined4408]

Restriction of tattoos, piercings and dating are also pointless as first of all, they shouldn't bother anyone and mostly, they don't, also some idols do it anyway and shouldn't be downgraded for it, it's completely okay and understandable, to to mention some fans, including me even support that.

Shipping has been a thing for AGES. Like... back when Star Trek when a new thing. Shipping was a thing then. Shipping is a thing now. I've been a K-Pop fan since 2004 and shipping has been a huge thing in K-Pop since then at least, maybe even before too. Shipping is relatively harmless for the most part. People write fanfics about ships they like, that's nothing new. Nothing wrong with that. People who become idols should anticipate it at this point. They can ignore it, just as fans who don't like shipping can ignore it. The problem starts when fans message idols or meet idols and ASK THEM about shipping. When they ask idols if they're dating their bandmate. Or telling an idol they ship them with their bandmate. Stuff like that is not right. Shipping and writing fanfic has always had an unwritten rule: Shipping/Fanfic should NOT be talked about to the person that is being written about. I've noticed a trend that seems like older/old school K-Pop fans are cool with shipping and love it, while newer/younger K-Pop fans are not cool with it. And that's fine. You don't like it, don't participate in it. Ignore it. Go about your day. You do like it, write to your heart's content. :)

[@MaKiKas]

I also agree with you but sadly there are fans who gone to far with sick edits/FF's. I'm a person who accepts shipping as long you don't cross the line with ask about it or what you have written down in your comment.

I feel like Aespa's AI concept was an attempt for SM to "cash-in" on the whole V-Tuber trend that had a moment in the YouTubing/Gaming communities- though, because they didn't double-down on it, the concept feels incredibly weak, unfinished, and thus, incredibly out-of-place in the MV's. (This is just my take on why it happened, and why it feels so... strange.)

[@TheFoaobd]

That entire AI concept was idiotic to begin with, a blatant rip-off of K/DA, and very insulting to the actual MEMBERS of Aespa. They are MEGA TALENTED, and do not need gimmicks to be popular, or make fans happy.

I don't mind when people ship idols with other idols but there's a thin line between shipping and obsessing y'know. It's alright to ship and get all giddy when they have moments together but it's effing toxic when they create rumours just from that one interaction and build a whole f*cking ass theory and photoshop them together that can mislead to rumours and malicious threats or comments that leads to interactions between idols awkward or their relationship being basically destroyed.

Shipping culture is really toxic. I have been a fan of BTS since their debut. During their rookie days or early career, it was Jungkook who gets a lot of dating rumors. And the worst thing that I have remembered is that trend in twitter after there was a new dating rumor circulating again about Jungkook, there was this cut for kookie trend happened. Fans are ready to cut their pulse if the dating rumor of Jungkook will be confirmed as true.

Shipping

[@kikizachary8334]

1. Shipping- especially within the group members. They are coworkers so it’s bery awkward for them. Don’t ruin their work relationship and dynamics. 2. MR removed. I agree it doesn’t prove an idol’s ability to sing at all! Removing music from the vocal doesn’t mean that the vocal is live.
