I have done dumber things in my youth that I’m not proud of. 🙃But yeah, I got on a greyhound and went to Chicago O’hare airport. I lived in the suburbs, so it was like a 45 minute ride. I didn’t know it was gonna be that expensive when I got to the airport and they didn’t have any flights that weekend to Korea. I was 17 and no one on the bus cared. I didn’t really have a plan, just my backpack of clothes and some cash. When my mom picked me up she explain I wouldn’t get far cuz I didn’t have my passport. I forgot all about that💀

Not you also forgetting the passport  Ngl this is adorable, though. I hope you do meet SNSD one day and unlike Cheers meeting Enhypen, I literally would not worry about the girls' safety around you. 

 

I mean, being an idol, though... seems kinda like hell? But I do think about that MBLAQ Lee Joon quote in which he stated that the idol world was like an "animal kingdom" and that everyone had sex with everyone. The way I would absolutely plow through all the gay dudes, omg. The Korean, the Thai, the Chinese, an absolute buffet.

 

So there definitely are benefits to that world.

 

Edit: And the Japanese, too.

I saw them in 2015 at Kcon New York! 

I was here. Only time I e ever seen them up close. Also Sunny liked one of my pictures on Instagram of her I took.

I love @Gorjesspazze9’s stories. They’re entertaining AND harmless 

 

An ideal kpop fan: fun, unserious and no hatred toward anyone

also Nmixx could end everyone with their encore but I haven’t seen any from them, they did win a few trophies right?!

 

I don't think NMIXX even need an Encore stage to prove their vocal tho 

All of them are decent vocalists (and dancer too)

I know, and so many other girlies from other groups on that list don’t need it to prove it either, but we were strictly talking about encores.

I’m always proud of my OT3rdgen queens (BP/TW/RV) but TWICE rly is most consistent I’m just so proud of them, I hope there’s a new comeback in summer as well 

 

also how amazing was jeongyeon in one spark

 

as much as I enjoy every comeback, nothing is topping the era that made me a fan, Feel Special  what a time to be alive

But when you include streams and sales, BlackPink and TWICE are very forgotten. Aespa, NewJeans, IVE and LSF are all about to surpass them.  The third gen groups were very short lived (due to a massive lack of quality) and 4th gen will surpass them no later than 2025.

BP and TWICE will only be surpassed when those girlgroups get more than 100mil in tour gross. Until then...

Uhm nobody asked for this opinion so idk why you bringing up streams and comparing.
A.Quality is purely subjective, and

B. idc if 4th gen groups surpass them in future eras.
My post was about Twice surviving for this long and still consistently selling albums in an industry where ggs’ years are usually numbered, and they are legends for that. ✌️

it’s really funny how nobody expected them to survive after their digital decline in Korea, but in return they expanded their fanbase outside of korea and also became touring forces lol. 
and yes, Jeongyeon is slowly gaining back that pre-injury confidence with each era and it’s nice to see that change in her. It’s exciting to know that we can still expect so many things from Twice even after a decade since their debut. There’s still so much potential for more solos, subunits, group activities etc. Not many girlgroups can afford to say that in kpop so I feel lucky to be a fan tbh

How is it possible to consistently have the worst takes on this forum?  

 

You’re so loud and yet so wrong

Illit / TBL NGG - got lost at some fashion week

Gidle - hags

Others - who?

The thing with I-DLE it's there is such a disparity. Like YuQi, Miyeon and Minnie are showing up, but Soyeon vocally is very often Screeching, and Shuhua most of the time doesn't even know her lyrics.

Did that without an official solo debut 

 

[getinthezone]

4th gen will easily be forgotten tbh, they all have quick little singles
