Unpopular K-pop Opinions

There’s a shift happening in the newer generation, and I’m not so sure I like it. I noticed that song production has gotten so much better nowadays, but I feel like newer groups are too reliant on those good instrumentals to make a song. I think it’s one of the reasons the vocals of the new gen have been generally subpar so far... Older groups debuted with already amazing main vocals (Seungyoon, Luna, Sandeul, Solji) compared to newer groups.

I'm tired of seeing "XYZ idol has opened a YouTube channel" every day. Its the stupid "mindlessly following what is trendy and have no individuality" that Koreans do, for me

I don’t mind idols dating or even getting married. It would just be better knowing they are with someone who is a non-celeb/idol that they personally knew for a while. I feel like it would be a genuine relationship and a private one given that the public wouldn’t know them to dig up anything. I say this because I recall an idol (forgot who) that said all they have left available to date are other idols in the industry, which sounded kind of sad. Also it would put an end to those extremist idol shippers.

I wish more idols that make their own music would upload to SoundCloud and release mixtapes in the way that BTS does. It’s such a good way to reach audiences when they have the time in between album cycles.

Mic drop and ON were definitely RM’s best eras styling wise, he looked so good!!

‌Look I'm sure Lusty are great girls with lots of potential, but GOD I cannot get over their name. Everytime I search "Lusty kpop" on YouTube I feel like I'm being put on a watch list.

Gahyeon just entered the 'idols who suit pink hair the best' list (among taeyeon, sana, woozi, jimin, rose, irene, eugene, nakyung etc. - feel free to add)

Jessica, Tiffany, Jennie, Joy and Naeun are the IT Girls of Korea.

Fly to my room doesn’t feel like a unit song between the 4 members, it’s more like Jimin&Tae feat. Yoongi and Hoseok.

After school Bekah is one of kpop best rapper. She easily wash bts rapline and stray kids one (I don’t believe either groups KNOW how to rap but their fans seems to believe so) and the list would go on.

Of all the dance covers other idols did of Criminal, the best one I have seen was probably the one by E'LAST's Choi In. He really looked like a natural dancer.

Neverlands need to face the fact that Gidle is basically over. The girls have opened up individual instagrams and Yuqi is going solo. Plus Cube is debuting a new girl group too. It just doesn’t look good for the girls.

Admin Note: This was sent in before Soyeon made her solo comeback and LIGHTSUM made their debut. 

Anyone who says “We literally breathed and ——- fandom is attacking us” is a liar. No fandom has done nothing. Yes, other fandoms attack each other for no reason, just because their toxic. But to say your fandom has done NOTHING is a lie. Your fandom is no better than anyone else’s. I don’t get involved in fandom drama because it’s dumb but I used to when I was younger and knowing from experience?Every fandom instigates. I did. No fandom is innocent and just sits there all doe eyed and god loving. YOU may not instigate, but other members of your fandom do. Don’t act like the whole is innocent.

Yoongi is my ult but I can’t stand listening to the live rendition of his black swan verses, it just makes me cringe

Oneus should stop trying to be like any other 4th gen group with dark and loud music. Most of the members don’t suit their no diggity concept, it looks so forced. They really shine in light and fresh concepts like in “a song written easily”, which to date is still their best title track.

When it comes to CA and other offensive behaviors toward black people, I don't get why idols add #blm. What does you doing cultural appropriation or saying something insensitive have to do with blm? I feel like so many just add it as a way to seem like they care, but it doesn't make them look any better and just makes their apologies seem less sincere.
