Yeah, Seventeen gives "that guy who's always been there but you don't end up falling in love with until years later" energy  They've always been successful domestically though, and I'd say their earliest breakout hit was "AJU NICE" back in 2016. But between them coming up with BTS, and having 13 members -  they're definitely coming into their own and peaking much later in their trajectory. I'd say when HYBE acquired Pledis in 2020 was a big turning point for them in terms of overall global standing. I personally didn't get into SVT until that Summer when they released "Left & Right" 

 

I used to be torn about who the hottest member was in SVT between Mingyu and Jun, but after I watched those clips from Jun's recent drama, it became easy

nothing is inherently wrong with it, it just gets boring when that becomes the topic for pages like it does occasionally 

Anything girl crush  > cute/colorful

 

 

The mentality of some of this western kpop tokkis. Girl crush wasn't even a thing yet when we already had f(x), 2NE1, 4Minute, SNSD doing every sense of that word but better

The way I was just looking at their discography on Wikipedia before I saw this, and cake peaked at 22 on Cir le chart. They got their last certification from circle back in 2020. JYP is evil 😔

Honestly given the popularity of this thread we might as well get an international pop section.

The thing I find most weird about it is how kpop fans will sexualize the most innocuous things of all time. aespa has really been releasing **** anthem after **** anthem for 2 whole years and when people overly sexualize them it's creepy and everybody can acknowledge that, but when It's a man who's just going about his day singing regular ass basic songs and fully covered up in normal clothes the discussion here turns *****graphic. It seems kinda predatory because it's totally uninvited. If people talked about Lisa or Taeyeon the way they talk about male idols in here there would be RIOTS

 

Fans objectifying and dehumanizing idols is a massive issue that goes beyond male idol stans being thirsty but the perversion of it in these scenarios is especially off putting to most of us.

They way you spilled nothing at all, girl do you remember Justin Bieber, Timberlake, 1D and NSYNC etc is not that they wear monk habits to perform , do they? KTRL is literally saints compared to what is out there, mostly p*rn fantasies

BP is indeed the most successfully kpop girl group globally no doubt about that but Kpop boomers rewriting history when we all go through phases like dark concepts, sexy concepts and girl crush is something else 

When BP debuted cute concept was a big thing in kpop   So the point wasn’t them being the first one doing GC, but being trendsetter.

Queens are releasing an english album this friday. They dropped a pre-release already

 

 

 

 Hip hop culture and dance music have been a part of kpop since literally the very first idol group. Gen 3 fans are so exhausting they all think their favs invented breathing.

They're trendsetter yes but the whole point of that tweet was basically creating a narrative they started ending it as if Kpop were all just rainbows, unicorns and bubblegum   

 

 

Ps: Red Velvet was also doing semi Girl Crush with their Velvet side. Shoutout to Bad Boy, Be Natural

I saw the brazilian tweet that people here are talking about. From how they worded it, I don't think they meant BLACKPINK created girlcrush, but that they made it becoming a trend in a specific moment of K-pop It wasn't as popular as It used to be in the past. 

 

What is true, but the biggest problem of the tweet for me is the op was treating It as If K-pop needed to be "saved" from aegyo. The superior complex some K-pop stans have over music is annoying. They can't dislike something like normal people, just don't listen and let it go. They have to constantly make sure everyone knows only what they like is worth it and everything else is pure trash that doesn't deserve any attention.

 

I mean, you are just a nobody from Texas, your opinion is not as relevant as you think It is.
