Not trying to start anything but does Jungkook as a soloist even qualify as a kpop artist? All his music is in English, written by western writers, produced by western producers, featuring western acts, targeting a western listener.

 

And there's nothing wrong with that. But just because he's Korean doesn't make his music "kpop" by default

 

Discuss.

I mean he does market himself to the american market (radio, music in English..),  but he still promotes A LOT in South Korea.

I don't think it's we should disqualify him as a kpop artist yet.

 

Money is also a worldwide hit, and I'm sure she won't release korean single anymore, but I don't think people will disqualify her as a kpop artist that quickly.

It's also a matter of time until newjeans completely switches :chick3:

Thinking about how Wonyoung knew this would smash, and sat down with Starship's CEO. she was ready to make history.

If it comes from a Korean label, then it's Kpop no matter the language. Kpop is not just a genre but a whole system, and if you're part of that system, then you're Kpop

not me missing the TTS circle jerk. 

People often accuse us sheep of having a superiority complex but gatekeeping shade/jokes aside I think it's very difficult not to have high standards after growing up with stages like this. For a huge portion of 2nd gen fans, SNSD was our door into kpop and their more vocal-centric approach to idol groups was an enormous factor to us falling in love with the genre. The new style(intense choreography and 1-2 members that can sing at all) has its pros too but to me there's nothing like seeing somebody like Taeyeon or Seohyun in their element and surrounded by other capable vocalists. TTS holds a soft spot in my heart because it has my 2 favorite idols the group was the most concentrated on that aspect of performance that a major group has been.

 

Kpop has been described as music that you can see too and I don't think it ever looked or sounded better than TTS :bird:

The dream academy fandom on twitter is so fake:coffee2:, why did they let Adela land in the bottom with votes when Pink Venom was the best dance performance? Same with them begging Mei to be brought back but complaining about HYBE pushing fearless A because some kpop artists posted them on their story:katie:

They did sign NDAs but I guess they weren't tight enough:gaycatx: Brooklyn mentioned not being able to talk about some things because of a contract on her live.

 

Ms Adela needs to take notes from Gina and drop a single if she's gonna keep tagging HYBE
