that last opinion was so true "its not global, yall didn't leave asia" HAD ME ROLLINGGG

[@youknowwhatelseisbig484]

I agree, Like I'm like "Is nexz a jpop or global group 🤠" because jyl is promoting them as global but most of the members are japanese. Also everyones trying to debut a global group nowadays, like first is was XG which are literally just signing in English- That's once again not global, just a Western language on a more Kpop type of song. I hate seeing all these global groups, like ma'am it's kpop not global pop 😭

[@cometgravity]

i agree so much about the illit encore stage, sure they didn't sound fantastic but they definitely weren't that bad. i'd say only one of them was really struggling vocally and i just hope she can improve in the future. almost all of them sounded fine, a little shaky but fine. when i watched it i expected it to be awful considering what people were saying but it turns out people were just being nasty to be nasty i guess. i still think hybe needs to invest in more vocal lessons bc they are leaving their artists high and dry here but people overreact so much, i think they just want to be bullies cuz it's fun to them

[@mjan3906]

And people posting clips that were "just listen to this 🤮" and I'm like... what am I listening to??? Like it wasn't bad, especially compared to other encore stages

[@andreapaola2750]

Exactly

[@youknowwhatelseisbig484]

​@@stcrryskyyeah but at the same time, ik damn well there was a lot of disgusting shit going on in the angencies to make them that talented. Like yeah do idols nowadays need more practice? Absolutely. But we need to stop comparing them to earlier generations because there wasn't much laws, and yknow damn well that companies abused that 😭 like theres probably so much shit that went on under the surface. Obviously not all companies are bad, but when it's the 1900s when not a lot of laws were in place? Yeah, no.

[@stcrrysky]

@youknowwhatelseisbig484 that is true, what came into mind was momo and the ice cubes. that was so incredibly cruel i could barely believe it. ig the concept of practicing a proper amount without affecting your health is a difficult, utopian and foreign concept to the entertainment companies. illit could have been so much better if the competition wasn't rigged and the practicing conditions were better

'can wholeheartedly say that was the best day of my life' THAT. That there is the reason why people drop mad money on kpop concert tickets. The rush of endorphins, pure joy and connection in that moment makes it worthwhile as they become memories of a lifetime. Even I'm surprised by just how much money I've dropped for concerts, but I don't regret any of it because my money is always getting drained because of life expenses regardless. I don't drop money on photocards etc because I'm not really a collector of material things- but memories? HELL YE.

I'm so with you on the seeking out other music thing. And we both got into it in 2017! Makes sense.

[@Kim-gt2jp]

5:19 so real. I’ve been into kpop for a year now and although there is experimental groups, noise music, happy, energetic, etc. Everything in each category all sounds similar and could easily be compared on a scale of what’s different and what’s similar. Even within their own discography. (I’m not saying they should change the way the song sounds but I feel as if not enough groups put enough twists into their category/genre of music.) I think that singular reason is why I started looking into older kpop groups, soloist, and even started looking into other genres/industries. Another thing to add is this is also why I (and many others) only Stan one group and maybe a few soloists.

[@yoshified_]

oh i stan a bunch of groups for this reason, i like variety 😭

[@ProudOrbit217]

I’ve been into Kpop since the beginning of August of 2018 Loona pulled me into Kpop and It has always had me pinned in a corner, I loved how fun Kpop was during those years But I feel like as far as mid 2023 Kpop music has changed, and not for the better :( Kpop companies need to realize how powerful music can truly be, it should never be about trying to chase popularity, it should be about being It’s own identity to your groups, I can use Loona as an example. Loona has always been about the creative direction, for as much as their music is well loved, they were also widely known for their story the Loonavserse, even after JJ left, Loona still had the charm, they may have changed a little but that didn’t stop them from growing and becoming something beyond wonderful. Even their struggles with BBC had helped influence the current direction of the Loonavserse, the story was once about breaking a loop and saving the world, but now the mission of the Loonaverse is to bring everyone back together as 12, it’s a journey I’ll be here for. If I could also recommend any music from any groups here would be my choices Girl Group: TripleS Boy Group: Younite and E’Last

Personally, I'm not past my only listening to kpop phase yet, but I have started trying the discographies of older kpop artists (finished Snsd + their solos except for Tiffany and Jessica, planning to start trying Shinee's discography starting with their solos). Right now, I feel like seeking the songs of those older kpop artists is enough for me, even when I get a little bored of newer kpop releases, which feel a little copy paste as you said. But when I listen to them, it makes me feel interested in kpop again. But maybe eventually, I will start trying music outside of Kpop, too.

[@springss1861]

Definitely recommend Shinee (they’re my ults & I can go on for days), Infinite (BTD, Paradise, Come Back Again), & TVXQ (recommend Hug, O, Purple Line, Crazy Love) For GGs, I recommend CSJH The Grace and f(x) Here’s some of my favorites: CSJH - One More Time, Ok?, Dancer in the Rain, Piranha f(x) - Signal, All Night, Milk, Rum Pum Pum

idk how much i agree with the kpop is getting bland thing actually - i do agree that too many mainstream groups are doing the same set of trendy vibes rn (laid-back / y2k / dreamy / some afrobeats / etc.), more so than the trend phases in past generations, it feels like, but i also think that enough groups out there are still doing their own thing that i'm not like, entirely and insufferably bored by the industry as a whole rn. i think some examples of groups that are very much following the trends i mentioned rn are txt, riize, lsf, nj (yes you can argue they started the trend, no i dont think that makes them any less ""bland"" and yes i think their entire discography sounds the same :/... ) but like p1h, svt, even babymon, gi-dle, sort of nct, sort of tbz, i would say are all staying with their own sound / unique enough from the trend that i personally don't feel bored :)

Kpop stands for KOREAN pop. How would a group with no Koreans be kpop? Also I get that not leaving Asia or Asian roots is not GLOBAL, but also where else do Asian people get that much exposure in music if not in kpop??? That’s all.

[@yoshified_]

no one’s saying asian ppl need to go somewhere else to get their exposure though, just seeing ppl of other races right alongside asian ppl would be pretty cool and would bring a lot of attention to the group. plus ur right, kpop does stand for korean pop but that’s only the language you sing in. look at blackswan. they are kpop even though they have no korean members bc they are managed by a korean company and they sing in korean. that’s all it really takes to be considered kpop.

[@vivianledesma4579]

For me, when a group is “ global “ it does not mean that the members are from different countries, rather, if your goal with your music is to go global or to appeal to many countries and not only one region, then that to me is a global group. This reach or goal is not bad at all as it will push groups to diversify and not do the cookie cutter music that they are always coming out with.

[@yoshified_]

i see it that way too tbh, that’s definitely not what they’re talking abt when mnet for examples says they’re going to make a global group, because the music is still very much kpop-esque, they’re talking abt the members and it’s always so far from being actually global 😭

[@calicokaels]

First off, great to see you, hope you're doing well! I always love watching these videos of yours because it's like a breath of fresh air. So many "that's what I'm saying!!!!" moments. So, I can't find any full info anywhere on how exactly PLAVE uses the motion capture technology, just that they do. I just want to note that motion capture technology does often use AI. That being said, PLAVE is not AI *generated* - which is what it seems people are often assuming/saying. AI technology is such a vast thing, but so many people seem to think it's all the same. AI can be an incredible thing - it can also be a horrible thing. It just depends on how and why it's being used. About diversity in K-Pop. I'm definitely not one of those "keep K-Pop Korean" people - and am cool with the idea of seeing more diversity. I understand why there isn't though, kinda? South Korea isn't a diverse country. In fact, it's one of the most ethnically homogenous nations in the world (literally in the top 5). And iirc, the whole diversity subject is kinda an issue within Korean culture (as many aren't open to it, so to speak). That being said - groups shouldn't be called "global" simply because they may have a member or two of either different ethnicity or nationality. And it's silly - obviously if/when that label comes from the company itself (rather than fans) they are aware it gives them more attention... So like, anyone gonna tell them what ACTUALLY making a "global group" would do? 😅

[@musicinterest-dib]

The problem with Illit is that even though they weren't that bad, the song itself is so easy to be sung that people are wondering whether their music will continue to be this boring and forgettable. There is nothing spectacular in the whole DEBUT album. That's their debut and the thing the company dod to the girls is making their debut part of the whole massive trendy era that the music has been stuck into since 2022 with those boring and repetitive melodies with almost no singing but only talking in the songs

​@@yoshified_ For their main objective being money, a lot of companies sure don't like to take those chances for even more money🙄

[@purpleantidote6120]

@@yoshified_ because they know a lot of kpop fans are also lowkey koreaboos who would be the first to revolt if their kpop groups became 'less korean'

​@@yoshified_no offensive if that's the case then the west needs more full Asian singers not half Asian singers I mean people like Eric nam Jessica Jung etc Asian diversity in America sucks right now untill we see Asians in America being successful I don't want kpop to have non Asians how is it fair to expect kpop to have non Asians in it but western music can't do the same thing like ur channel though

why can’t it go both ways lol every space music or not should be diverse

I think global groups refer to there impact out of korea So bts is an global group Nothing to do with where the members are from

[@yoshified_]

they meant where the members are from though, not their impact. if it was there impact, i dont think survival shows would go as far to separate them based on where they’re from

[@yoshified_]

and bts isnt a global group, theyre just big globally, they’re just a kpop group with global success

I hope you are ok now miss/mister or non binary yoshified may I ask a question. Is the boycott of the companies still going on? Is just that it was said that it's only till 1 may so I was confused if it is extended or not and if it is extended than that's great too cause now I am listening to more of my own country songs . Also and please correct me if I am wrong if the companies know that the boycott against some companies are happening can't they have a seminar of a kind with their artist informing them? I actually don't know if this is a bad take cause I am still not an adult and I don't know that much so pls notify me about these things. I hope everyones health is ok 😊

So you don't listen to any western artist? Cuz i like kpop but I find it weird that people who grew in America dont listen to songs made by western artsit..

[@yoshified_]

idk how that’s weird 😃 but i listen to western artists, im just not actively checking for new music from them. it’s more like i listen to old songs i grew up on from like the 2000s and 2010s

[@Xonatirose]

I’m also like this and honestly kpop has made it so easy to find new artists that when I try to find western artists idk where to look 😭. Like variety shows, music shows, and just random ass clips are so easy to find in kpop but hardly everywhere else without knowing where to look

[@aRIE_vcr]

​@@yoshified_i like kpop because western music is getting too saturated , I like kpop cause it's experimental and I love fun weird sounding music like sticker by NCT , but it doesn't mean i don't listen to western artist because beyonce is bae

[@angiebaebii]

I don’t believe that Kpop needs that much diversity it’s literally Korean Pop but everyone has their own opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@yoshified_]

korean pop is just the language they sing in so i think they could add some

[@mitchierainbow7353]

@angiebaebii if kpop groups and companies can dibble and dabble in other countries music and dancing and incorporate them into theirs as "concept" they can definitely have foreign members especially if they want that "global attention". I know they have foreigners behind the scenes but they can also have some in front of the camera

[@TheRyno525]

@@talardusvenska1519 Oh you mean how K-pop was built off of western pop then over the years developed itself into it's own genre? I find it pretty hypocritical that you can act as though K-pop has it's own standards while a good portion of the songs are sourced from western composers and producers, and remember it is K-pop that is trying to move into the U.S market not the other way around. You should probably learn the industry a little bit better before you start talking about being disrespected.

[@TheRyno525]

@@norabeckwith9154 Do you live here? How did this happen? According to the export trade statistics of the Korea Customs Service on July 18, 2023, exports of K-Pop albums have reached an all-time high in the first half of the year. Moreover, the United States has now overtaken China as the second-largest market for K-Pop and music exports, solidifying the genre’s presence in the West. Does that happen without representation?
