>>5480354I appreciate you posting lossless cut, that shit save a lot of time
why would they force csr to listen to this trash?
This is from the last thread. Anyone tell me what song/group? I don't know many. >>5477120

>>5483867the work/education culture and economy are
>>5483241Plenty of them do though and have been to moderate to great success since the late 00s. Some get way more popular there they aren't even known for their kpop work. I think part of the reason for NiziU's big success in Japan is the fact that they had someone like JYP at the helm.

>>5487280
>>5487280No, it's Basedeons merry gang of misfits.She makes bank actually producing the increasingly weird shit they put out and the rest of them are primarily youtubers of varying levels of odd.Also the only normal one of them got kicked out for basically no reason at all.
>>5487332shut up man lol
>>5487364No.
>>5487332>the only normal one of them got kicked outbecause her name isn't Bae Joo-hyun and had bullying charges leveled at her.
>>5487370 Soojin can bully my cock and balls
>>5487329
>>5487280It was 5 members and one batshit insane one that clung onto Soojin so hard, it made her look lesbian.they tried so hard to stop it, and they couldn't, so when deciding on who to kick, soojin wasn't as popular.they made up some fake bullying stuff and dropped her contract(brain problems is on the left)

K-pop idols are so cringey
Any interesting recent K-pop news?
>>5493143- Areum just tried to off herself, she seems to have a fairly good reason though because her life sounds like a nightmare.- Chuu is going to the supreme court, Blockberry haven't had enough of losing.- Seems like Hitomi out of Iz*One might join TripleS now that her time AKB48 is up.- Illit debuted, didn't think much of the title track but the b-sides are pretty good.- Jihyo is dating again, some actor or something fuck if I know.- Yuqi solo debut at some pointAbout all that comes to mind right now.
>>5493143- Gaeul from IVE was hospitalized recently for almost giving a shitHer other members panicked as she briefly showed a massive spike in energy, enough to approach Nmixx's Bae, the next lowest in the business
>>5493299chimichanga wigiwaga goobeegoozaza
>>5493299What made her life so unbearable?
>>5494316Bullied in T-ARA then falsely dragged for being the bully. Went on to marry a wife beater, had two kids with him, divorced him and then he succumbed to the call of the rope a while ago.Doesn't help that Korea is working hard on it's societal collapse focus and celebrities get the worst of it.
>>5494402>Korea is working hard on it's societal collapse focus and celebrities get the worst of it.When the lead star of My Mister necks himself, as his character arc in the actual show fights with infidelity and overwhelming miseryjust to keep breathing, even for one more day.shits wild
>>5483241>Kpop>JapanSame thing.
>>5493299Sounds like she wanted sympathy and attention rather than actual death.
Reminder that the group that routinely released bangers like this...
...Were forced to release complete shit like this for the Japanese market.

>>5494467i like gokigen sayonara tho
>>5494551>COCAINE INSIDE YOUR MAMAThe fuck.
>>5494551that was the exception
>>5482273cuz thats how korean music sounds too. ever heard north korean music or trot?what you hear in kpop is mostly a copy of western pop music made by western musicians.
>>5494551Still objectively lower quality than all of their korean releases but at least it's catchy.

how do we feel about all the debuts we had this month?ILLIT

>>5495476VVUP
>>5495477Candy Shop
>>5495479and ME:Ithis one is more kpop-adjacent but i think it still counts
>>5495480Honestly they're all so mid, I don't know if it's just me but all these new idols and their songs are completely soulless.UNIS is the closest to an ear worm but then the chorus is a big fat nothing and the annoying repetitive shit in Magnetic and UhUh kill them. The B-sides were all a bit better but even then nothing to write home about.Take me back lads, I just want to go back.
it really feels like hybe is going for the former izone fans with illitthose that haven't moved on to ls or iveor maybe, we're all sluts anyway and stan multiple groups
these chicks are looking younger and younger feels like pedophilia is snsd still good to watch
>>5495829>or maybe, we're all sluts anyway and stan multiple groupsthis is me 100%. how others invest in one group or even one member is hard to understand
>>5495527*cracks monster*electric shock, those were the days
>>5495527to me it just feels like there's less variety now even though we have more active girlgroups than ever before. slutpop dying really cornered the market to just a few repeating concepts>>5495829>we're all sluts anyway and stan multiple groupsyes>>5495837>these chicks are looking younger and youngerwould be interesting to see a breakdown of the median debut age through generations. i know they were debuting 14yos back then too but they styled them to look much older, now even 18-19yo girls look like they are 14
>>5495477>doo doom chitOnly one group is allowed to name their song that
>>5496123Is Crayonposting back on the menu?
>>5496045>slutpop dyingdid you not see le sserafim or gidles recent comebacks?
>>5497609Lol. lmao even.
>The chimp is wearing a crop top so it's slutpopEven AOA were sluttier than any active group right now.
I rest my case.
angels~~
miss these lil minxes. whatever happened to them
>>5496534it never left it
>>5497696I hope to still be Crayonposting on my deathbed.
>>5497597watching girl groups cheer on either their own members or other groups is always a ride
Kraci if you're still out there, pls come backyou shouldn't have deleted your account
How is Crayon Pop doing these days? Any of them married? None of them died right?

How do Kpop companies deal with suicides? Do they usually cancel performances/interviews or just say "ow well" and tell the girls to go out as if nothing happened?
>>5503170they follow full confucian rites
>>5503170picture a rooftop of the company building. its pitch black and belting with rain.out comes the lead vocalist, cloak shrouds her face.A flash of lightning reveals the rest of the group, similar dress, concealed faces, all surrounding a chair.A man is tied up, and not just any man, the groups CEO. Fresh blood drips from his upper and lower body.He pleas helplessly for them to end it. They finally piece his heart and dump the body in the Han.As for suicides they release a statement and try to avoid mentioning it again
>>5503170Billlie and SuA's brother are an interesting example. Despite it being her brother, they cancelled all the schedules for the week for the group right in the middle of a promotion, released a statement, then the rest of the group without SuA carried on as normal and they never brought it up again.That's broadly how it goes for active idols, but Moonbin himself was in Astro which was a veteran group at that point and not hugely active, nor were they promoting at the time, so there wasn't actually much to cancel and a single statement covered them. That's a lot more common because most of the idols that succumb to the call of the rope are veterans or even ex-idols.

Slut pop will make its come back this summer. Its the year of our lord 2024 and there will be a kslut hot girl summer with extra bikini music videos
>>5505876I couldn't even name one group in a position to pull the slutpop thing off, not even any nugus come to mind.No amount of hopium is bringing it back any time soon, you're going to have to wait for a company to debut a bunch of tall, early 20's smokepoles before we get any more slutpop.

>>5508850It probably kept a lot of the creepy types away though. Well, except for the guy that tried to kidnap Taeyeon on stage.
>>5508744Take me back broles.
>>5510389I'm so fucking sick of these god tier build ups being wasted on limp dicked blue ball choruses I swear to god.Send the swedes home now, they've completely lost it.
>>5510675when you think about it anti-drop is the kind of thing swedes would end up inventing
>>5480354Where do you apply to be a k-pop star's official white bf?
>>5510819you don't, instead you look for the ones who vanished and moved to America. Either you get lucky and they end up working for/under you at your job or you're actually famous/rich and she wants to use your status.
>>5510824There are plenty of failed nugus working menial jobs because they didn't do all that well in school and had no backup plan.Move to Korea and order a lot of takeout from as many places as you can, you'll bump into one eventually I'm sure.
>>5510875that may be so, but as it stands the success stories were a chef who dated a new waiter at his restaurant and an former MLB player.

Finally a banger amongst the sea of absolute shit that has been the last months worth of releases.

>>5522127its pretty sad. I like kep1er a lot, even if some people throw shade at bahiyyih for her brother
>>5522300looks like a pretty simple mv
>>5523656kek. The korean demand for koreans singing in bad english is something else.I don't know though, maybe they're thinking they'll crack the market with this stuff. I guess there's a huge market in SEA etc where these lyrics would sound just fine.
>>5523784Honestly in most of Asia, English lyrics just sound "cool" and the trend of releasing fully English songs to try and crack the western market is fairly new, and it always comes down to either English versions of an esisting song poorly slapped together just to chance a TikTok hit or when you're in BTS/Twice position original tracks targeted directly at a market you've already broken into.There's been a glut of English releases fairly recently thanks to Cupid and most of them have either crappy lyrics or vocalists who just can't pull it off, sometimes both. I absolutely love TRI.BE - Wonderland but the English version is an absolute trainwreck.
>>5522127kep1er is so good
>>5523810>releasing fully English songs to try and crack the western market is fairly newSNSD was doing that over a decade ago.
>>5526580And that was just shortly after Kpop artist were making great strides in Japan with Japanese originals and JP versions of their Korean songs. It's funny seeing how much SM was doing in the past several decades only to massively shit the bed in the past year.
>>5529055i like this group but I can never get their name right. its cosmic girls or something in eng but that doesn't feel right
>>5529231doesn't seem like they promote that naming anymore as it is only in urls and old videos but instead go by the acronym WJSN>credit as comic girlshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IGp_0iKTnA>titles starting 7 or so years agohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0YLZmcARRU

>>5530362>why do kpop music videos only use white extras?There's at least 3 brown people in the very first frame, blindanon.
>>5530379yeah, I meant western/non-asian people in general
>>5530362koreans are extremely jealous and they need to keep the gfe image

>>5530253Nasty.
>>5530362it's called white monkey it's a thing in asia
>>5530949holy cringe
>>5530949Who is this even for? Clearly not someone with ears.
>>5530362>>5530381Hybe is controlled by globalists, so they promote diversity whenever they can
turtle kot
>>5530362not all of kpop, just new jeansthey are trying to appeal to western audiences. i am guessing that's why they do that
>>5509246but the video quality was bad back then. i prefer kpop today
there is no point in having good female kpop groups if the video quality is bad
>>5530362>>5531564HYBE is larger than all the other top companies combined thanks to BTS, it's why they're the most globalistic. If JYP, SM, and YG had that much global presence they'd be pandering to westerners to the same degree.This was YG around a decade ago trying to make their own BTS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GRP1rkE4O0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKD03uPVD-Q
>>5532177As pointed out, other companies had been pushing into foreign markets for years, but only Hybe chose to bring foreign politics into the Korean market. You seem to be confusing globalism with globalization
