What do you think about KPop?

I like it - not love. I listen to BTS, Blackpink and sometimes Exo, iKon, etc. Whatever happens to play. I’ve always liked listening to music in different languages and I like the style. It’s soft but also has a good tune? and the language is beautiful.

I feel like a lot of its popularity is because all the idols are beautiful - whether it’s natural or not, they have a flawless aesthetic and so much of their career is about their looks and aesthetics. Also they are trained so hard to be perfect...

I like that we’re growing and accepting new cultures but in a way I prefer some other idols that are more natural and realistic, rather than trained meticulously. With kpop focusing so much on body image, it’s hard not to be self-concious of your body.

As music, I really like it, but the whole “culture” of it... not so much.

BTW I mean no offence by any of this. I have great respect for kpop idols and everything they do, and I do listen to them a lot of the time - BTS is one of my favourite bands.

Hi! Thank you for your reply. My own views are quite similar to yours too. I also like listening to music from different countries in various languages. My fave band is also BTS but I also like SHINee and BTOB and I listen to many others like iKON and EXO.

I think that KPop belongs in Music, not Chat.

Oh cool! I guessed you liked BTS based on your username😂
I haven’t heard of SHINee or BTOB - I’ll make sure to check them out tomorrow

I'm new to the whole KPop thing but I love it. I prefer foreign language songs as I enjoy learning what the lyrics mean in English and finding about references that only make sense in the original language. Right now I'm only into BTS and Blackpink but I'm enjoying the music.

fake and manufactured

I respect your opinion but could you please expand on this a little bit more.

Just another genre of music which has nothing to do with musical ability. The talent goes to the bottom and the b*llshit gets popular.
