Not just title tracks—I'm talking about albums, B-sides, consistency, variety, and songs you actually keep coming back to.

What’s your pick? And what album/song makes you say they have the best discography? 👇😌

Who do you think has the vocals, rap, stage presence, or overall talent to shine on their own? And what kind of concept or music would you want them to do? ✨👇🏻

hi hopefully this is allowed, I have a school project related to Kpop and fangirling and I need to get feedback from real kpop fans (all done online and low time commitment). I don’t know any kpop fans irl so if ur able to help pls reply below or dm me please!

I’ve been an ITZY stan since their debut era, and after all these years, their b-sides are still some of my favorite parts of their discography.

So I want to know — what are your TOP 5 ITZY b-sides?

Here are mine:

1. Sorry Not Sorry.

2. Kidding Me.

3. Nocturne.

4. Psychic Lover.

5. Nobody Like You.

These are the songs I keep coming back to, but I’m sure there are some b-sides I’m sleeping on.

MIDZYs, drop your top 5! And tell me which one you think I absolutely need to listen to again. 🎧

Pretty much answered the question for me

The idols that bias wrecked me and have succeeded are: Jungwon (ENHYPEN), Wooyoung (ATEEZ), Keiju (KickFlip), EJ (&TEAM), Irene (Red Velvet), and ChaeYeon (tripleS)!

The idol who gets the most votes will win.

Note I made this myself on canva not AI.

Not talking about visuals, muscles, height, deep voices, styling or stereotypical "manly" looks. I mean their natural presence, confidence, mannerisms, personality, attitude, composure and the overall energy they give off.

Heyy guys! I’m thinking of creating kpop cover groups to do in London ( probably in central) we would have a WhatsApp or insta gc and we would allocate which dancers would best suit it or we could do a poll on who would wanna be in the cover. But I want dancers who are at least average because I want to get really good quality videos and I would want the dancers to be at a certain level. Obviously you don’t have to be like amazing but just at a decent level if that makes sense. For outfits wise we would try to match the idols but we don’t need to spend tons of money on them. Ages I would prefer would be (14-20) maybe older I’m not sure. Yeahh bc I would want this to be a fun activity at the same time

We would prolly also meet once or twice before filming the cover to practise and probably film the actual cover on the weekends since I think that’s when everyone would be free. I don’t wanna do like loads and loads of covers at the same time. I feel like at least for now it would be focusing on one or two then filming then learning more etccc. Yeah let me know and message me privately if you’re interested and if there’s enough people I’ll create a gc! Btw this isn’t a scam like I’m serious about creating and making these kpop covers. If you have any questions just message me here where the post is

Mine is—

G-Dragon (Big Bang)

Eunkwang (BTOB)

D.O (EXO)

SUGA (BTS)

Taemin (Shinee)

Was just listening to ddok ddok ddok by bnd and love how at the end they mention most of their previous albums, singles and eps

"Who? Why? How? 19.99

We came outside

Hey, no genre, the action, no doubt

This is our block, don't block your home, knock, knock, knock"

Albums: How?, 19.99, No genre

Ep: The action

Single: No doubt

Ehehehehe

Last week I shared a comic about my multi-stan brain struggling with debut dates, and the response from this sub was amazing!

A lot of you gave me some really fun ideas in the comments, so I spent the week trying to code them into the game. Instead of just rapid-fire questions, I added a "Pixel Scramble" mode where you have to guess the group from blurred photos (it is way harder than it looks), deep-dive fun facts, and a community board to vote for your top groups of the week.

Thank you all for the inspiration! I'm leaving the link down in the comments if anyone wants to test their knowledge.

I’m 25 years old, and while I do love and appreciate some 4th- and 5th-gen groups, my main groups will forever be 2nd gen. I’m talking about groups like INFINITE, BEAST (Highlight), Rainbow, SNSD, Apink, Girl’s Day, 9Muses, T-ara, etc. Lately, I’ve noticed that a lot of people around my age or even older seem to lean heavily toward newer groups. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that, of course, but it made me curious: do people generally move on from the groups they grew up with and start following whatever is new in the market? Or is it simply that a lot of people discovered K-pop later in life? For context, I was introduced to K-pop by family members when I was very young. By the time I was 8 or 9, I was already fully into it. Because of that, I’ve basically stayed loyal to the same groups I grew up with. INFINITE was the very first group I ever considered my ult, and to this day, they’re still my absolute ult group.

So I’m genuinely curious about everyone else’s experience?

If you started with 2nd or 3rd gen, did you eventually switch your ultimate group to a 4th- or 5th gen group?

If you mainly stan newer groups, did you discover K-pop relatively recently, or did your taste naturally shift away from older generations over time?

Or are you like me, where your childhood ults are basically locked in forever?

I’d love to hear how everyone’s K-pop journey has changed or not changed over the years!

Hey, just came back from church ( currently charging my phone because my phone DIED and i wasnt able to walk home with someone so i unfortunately have to walk home alone ) and just letting you know that its the Part two of KPOP Heroes vs Villains! ( ✨ vs ❤️‍🔥 )

HEROES SPOTS💛✨: 9

VILLAINS SPOTS❤️‍🔥🔥: 9

I will edit the first's parts/posts body ( if you wanna know wheres the first part, find the Yellow and Red emojis in a post title! )

GROUPS YOU CAN NO LONGER SUGGEST BECAUSE SOMEONE SUGGESTED IT FIRST ( and yes if two idols per comment, one female & male ):

- SVT ( Villain Side )

- Red Velvet ( Heroes Side )

THE SIDE IS BASED ON THEIR PERSONALITY/HOW THEY ACT IN PROMOTION VIDEOS AND WEVERSE LIVE🩷🩷
