I'm so curious but I feel like the kind of American music Western teens are listening to is very different from the kind of KPOP those same teens might be into.

 

Like, the Western teens into KPOP are probably listening to New Jeans or Lesserafim or whatever. But if the same people want to listen to American pop music, they're going to be probably stanning something completely different.

 

I mean I guess the reason why people stan kpop is because they feel like it gives them something different from Western music. But then K-POP also wants to make it big in the West so there seems to be a disconnect whenever they make English original music and it sounds like some kind of 2009 Disney reject and it flops.

 

What's the difference? What do fans want? What's not clicking?

 

I wonder if Hybe, JYP, SM and all the other companies wanting to make American-specific Kpop groups are thinking about these questions too and have figured it out...? 

Mainly it’s the corny lyrics. Kpop is meant to be family & advertisement friendly. 
Just look at  TTH,  16/50 songs are explicit. Now look at Kpop-ON! 0/50 are explicit. When you’re listening to kpop 99% of the time you don’t understand the lyrics so it’s no problem but when you finally get a 100% English song you realise it just doesn’t click. It sounds childish. It’s very disney as you’ve put. 
 

Kpop being in Korean is an advantage and that’s what these company’s don’t realise. We’re here for the flashy videos, performances, choreos and catchy beats & hooks. It’s an advantage because international stans don’t realise how cringe some of these lyrics are. :deadbanana2:

I finally caught up to the Omega X situation and damn….but then again, are we really surprised?

at least they came out and spoke out about it, I wonder how much this happens on the daily for most idols especially since all of them start very young in this industry, but the public will never know :swan:

Kinda feel bad for the Japanese member...

 

 

Yuna, samurai blue hwaiting!!!

:eddie:

 

Anyway, it appears that CSR have also scheduled a fansign event that starts an hour before the World Cup Uruguay-Korea group match.  So, are they planning on having a watch party or something?  That would be kinda cool, actually.  Watching a soccer game with idols.  But there are obvious perils with aligning a promo to the fate of the Korean national team.  It could get embarrassing.

 

 

On many levels.

Isn't that funny that YG tried to recruit 2 of Alice members (Sohee & Bella/Do-A) and the rapper Reddy

 

and all of them are now signed under 131 (B.I own label) & IOK which have B.I has Music Director.

 

Also another fact with IOK, The One (Korean veteran singer) who was SM vocal teacher during the time SNSD & Suju were trainee is one the head of IOK and also working behind the scene helping Alice and the trainees to develop their vocal technique.

 

Hanbin resigned as the music director of IOK a couple of weeks ago, and left IOK as a whole too apparently
