I don't find Jin that handsome like everyone says he is. He created himself the worldwide handsome nickname and I feel like he did it so people will compliment him or know him as the handsome member from bts and he could feel good :/ Don't come at me but I prefer Taehyung's visuals and I can see why he placed #1 on the TC Candler's Most Handsome Men in 2017.
The Boyz are literally the best kpop performers I've watched. There's a lot of stunning kpop groups and solos that blow up my mind but The Boyz are on another level. It's not just choreography but they take concept and a lot of ideas to their advantage and it's just so satisfying to watch. Y'all need to stan.
Ateez are the 4th generation leaders for me 😉 They're all main dancers at this point. I love how everyone shines in their own way and like Idk whom to look at when I'm watching their performances. None of the members are overshadowed and I think they're treated nicely by their company and their fandom is rising so 🥺🤝 Stan Ateez!!
What happened with Winter from Aespa is so creepy and I was kind of shocked that no one from the staff noticed when the video shows everything clearly. SM is so shitty, I don't buy their stupid statement saying nothing happened.
People saying idols are being mistreated just because they don't have enough screentime or lines can honestly shut up :/ Think about groups that have gone through real shit like Pristin or CLC that have been mismanaged/mistreated. Just because your bias doesn't have the screentime you want him/her to have or you barely hear them in a song doesn't mean they're being mistreated. I often hear this with Jin, Jisoo and the whole NCT foreign line. I haven't heard about Jin getting mistreated except for one time that he was cut off in some merchandise's image. I think Jisoo is fine. Blackpink has only 4 members and they all shine bright. As of NCT, I can agree about Winwin but Johnny and Yuta stans are so exaggerated. They both have lines and enough screentime...? I just feel like it's unfair saying these idols are mistreated just by not giving them lines when there's real people that have suffered because of their company 😐 (I agree about NCT with sasaengs though. SM really needs to do something about that and protect their idols.)
Big groups are so much better than smaller ones if you're really willing to get into them. I feel like you can get easily tired of a small one. The smallest groups I stan are Shinee, MCND and CIX, all with 5 members, that's why I don't watch them on a daily basis loll. But you can get so addicted to bigger ones. There's so much variety, their different personalities, the choreographies look more satisfying since there's more people ofc and I feel like they need to work harder as a group and seeing them growing is just so heartwarming for me :) But sadly...
I don't think America takes big groups seriously. Well, any kpop group tbh lmao. I think they already got used to BTS and Blackpink, not completely but everyone will mention any of these groups when someone asks about kpop. I feel like bigger ones won't get the hype and have a disadvantage on that.
One of the biggest advantages a group can have when promoting on the west is members speaking at least English. If none of the members speak English, it will be harder to communicate with interviewers or even fans. I feel bad for Ateez on this :( I mean Hongjoong kind of knows the basics and San has a really good pronunciation, I thought he was fluent aisiwofjsi. I think Twice doesn't have an English fluent member neither.
X1 and Wanna One would have make it big in kpop if they wouldn't have disband. They were both so dope!!
Groups nowadays are focused on vocals and I used to say I prefered rap but I can't lie to myself. I prefer vocals over rap since I don't really like every rap you ask me to listen to. Vocals are so calming, soothing, make me want to sleep and I can just enjoy them. I don't enjoy some kpop raps because of the aggressive voices and the fast speed. I do like the deep ones tho 👀
That's all!
