The real surprise would be if SM decides let him comeback with the group.

This tbh, he is basically over, a shame because he was hot, we need the ugly one OUT.

Can a golden spoon with so many connections pre-debut not be a spoiled brat and instead be a sweety pie? Idk about Anton I feel like he has a dark side 

I trust the judgement of IU sunbaenim

Anton I think it is, or maybe Eunseok? They are two I can't recognize

When even @Spark downvoted my post about Baekhyun what's next? @Eternium or @Mel.

Please refrain from pontificating upon topics on which you are unqualified to expound.

 

Thank you.

 

Aran and Sio, your voices will be missed

Let me just post one truth no one can take and I say this as a Baekhyun fan, he is my fave Exo soloist but: 

 

He is totally unnecessary in the group, like you need good vocals and great tone? There's D.O. you need high notes there's Chen, You need visual, hell, Suho is there + great vocalist, you need another lead vocalist??? There's literally Xiumin who has proven to be more than capable in CBX. If you focus ok talent, there's literally no need for him lol. 

 

This is literally the dumbest take in this thread. You're saying Baek is unnecessary cause he... is an all rounder?

 

Growl, Overdose, Call Me Baby, Love Me Right, Lucky One and Monster are basically built around Baekhyun's vocals especially in the choruses. It's like saying you could have Destiny's Child without Beyoncé, Pussycat Dolls with Nicole, Girls Aloud without Nadine etc etc... Baekhyun is EXO, there's a reason why they never attempted a comeback whilst he was in the military. The fact you seriously think Xiumin is anywhere near as close to Baekhyun in vocals is SENDING me. 

 

If anyone is unncessary it's Kai, cause he cannot sing and is tone deaf.

It was a dumb post so I downvoted.

I kind of don't like how idols are looking more and more uncanny these days, even very young ones. Like, it's hard to find people who genuinely look human and it must eff with not only their sense of self but fans' sense of self too. But it also just makes everything feel a bit robotic and stilted. Which I get is how Korea likes it, but it's like damn, put the humanity back in Kpop please from top down. You shouldn't be on your fifth face before you hit 23.

 

 

It’s not only their faces/features

 

I came across this funny aoa/sistar video, and I couldn’t help but notice how idols had a darker skin across the board, even the ones who were “lighter” still appear darker than the average idol today. It gave me a moment of realization of how big the issue is and has grown under the radar. 

 

Whitewashing was already a problem in Kpop (mostly in mv’s and photoshoots), but now seeing an idol with a natural normal korean color is quite rare. The lighting everywhere they go and whatever idols take/do to lighten their skin are a MUST.

 

It’s like idols wouldn’t be caught dead flaunting an ounce of pigmentation now.

 

 

vs

 

 

It's so funny how everyone is so whitewished when ALL the s3xy icons are / were tan

 

All it took Kwon Yuri was having black hair and a tan to become one of THE s3xy it girls for 2 years

 

Lee Hyori was tan in all of her iconic eras

 

Sistar, THEE hitmakers of the 2nd gen, were tan

 

 

it's not a k-pop issue btw. It's just the Korean beauty standard
