This question was somewhat inspired by the recent disbandment Tempest. Many fans stated that the group was never the same after Hwarang left since he contributed a lot to the group. I also got the idea for this from this post on r/askteddit.

Edit: A group doing fine after the member departure does not automatically disqualify them from being an answer.

I would love to see some multi fandom memes or hearty posts, drop your favs!!!

AA was my very first KPOP group I got into heavy back in 2012 thanks to their song "Because I'm Crazy" (That MV is fucking AMAZING) and their EP was fire. Was my first exposure to this kind of world and then they all went their separate ways kinda in 2015, I was so heartbroken at the time hahaha.

It's crazy how after them I just couldn't get into anything after them (Been an on and off KPOP guy for years) like their choreography and vocals were truly unmatched least for me (They truly were some amazing talents). I was one of the main ones that enjoyed their time in the sun for sure. At least Aoora still sings and performs (He was always my fave one in the group lol) Always nostalgic for this group. ❤️

Whether it's because of a hate train,bad songs or styling etc

Some songs just hit different live 😭 What performance made you appreciate a song way more? Could be an award show, encore, concert clip, anything.

are there any songs from any group (title tracks, b-sides, any song whatever) that are shorter than 3 minutes that you honestly think feel complete and are perfectly fine as is and don't NEED to be longer? like sure, we can WANT it to be longer. we could always WANT another chorus or a longer bridge (or a bridge, in general, if there isn't one to begin with) but maybe... maybe the song doesn't NEED it and it's actually works great the way it is

for me, this cuts very close to 3 minutes but i think "black mamba" by aespa doesn't need to be any longer even though it's 2:55. i also think "moonstruck" by enhypen (2:39) and "perfume" by nct dojaejung are complete enough to me.

MAX 2

I'll try my best to answer for as many groups as I can, but I might not know some groups very well or might not even know them at all 😭 So please bear with me if I can't answer for certain groups!!

Feel free to name any group!

When people discuss Aces in Kpop I feel like the same names are always brought, and with good reason, they’re phenomenal: Taemin, Han Jisung, Jungkook, Soyeon, etc

But I wanna know if there’s some less known or less discussed Aces that any of you know of.

But I do wanna make clear the difference between an Ace and an Allrounder

The requirements to be considered an ACE (imo):

1. Excels as a vocalist / could be main vocalist
2. Excels as a dancer / fits in with main dancers
3. Excels as a rapper / has rapped on multiple tracks including writing their verses
4. Excels as a performer / has amazing presence, power, and energy on stage
5. Excels as a Visual, not in terms of attractiveness or beauty standard, but in terms of expressive facials and perceived emotion
6. Excels in writing and composing / has multiple writing credits on large portions of songs and has written full songs on their own (even if unreleased)

An allrounder is someone who can do anything, they’re pretty good at vocals, rap, dance, stage presence.

The Aces I wanted to discuss:

• Jiung- P1harmony- phenomenal vocalists, great dancer, a skilled rapper who often writes his own verses, many writing credits on their groups music and has shared unreleased work he’s written and composed himself. Wish he got more recognition for just how extraordinary he is.

• Bangchan and Changbin- Stray Kids- not underrated as idols but often overlooked as Aces because they’re in the same group as Han who is well known as THE Ace to many people. But Changbin is often overlooked for his vocals but he has an amazing voice if you check out his masked singer episode, also one of the best really Buff dancers I’ve seen. Bangchan being the most credited idol in Kpop history, being a lead vocalist while also in the rap trio 3racha, the only thing he could possibly lack in is dance but he’s still very very good.

• Son Juone- Keyveatz- while I wouldn’t call her an ace quite yet as they just debuted like 4 months ago, I’m absolutely positive she will be in the next year or so, and could be one of the best in 5th gen. Extraordinary dancer, excels in both vocals and rapping, amazing stage presence and visuals. The only thing she needs is more writing credits and solo work, she has contributed to 2 of their group songs writing her own raps, and wrote a lot of her solo song DOC. She has expressed wanting to be more involved in the future with writing and has written her own songs that haven’t been shared.

All in the title!

Hi!

Last year I shared my project kguesser.com, a daily game where you guess a K-pop song from short audio hints. A lot of you played it and gave me feedback, and I've kept working on it in my free time since then. It's grown way more than I expected (hundreds of you play it now, thank you!), so I wanted to come back and show you where it's at.

Based on the messages I received, I've added over the weeks:

• Guess the artist: another daily game. Listen to a song and name the group or idol behind it.
• Guess the year: endless mode. An MV plays and you get 3 tries to find the year it came out.
• Guess the view count: endless mode too. Find how many views the MV currently has!
• A news page dedicated to comebacks and MV releases.

It's still free and without ads, and you don't need an account to play. Logging in just lets you keep your streak and play past days if you missed them.

I'm now looking for what to add next. If you have new game ideas, a feature, or anything you think would be nice, I'm listening!

Hi guys I want to recommend a game i come across called "My KPOP Card Farm" in Roblox and got to say it is one of the most addictive KPOP games I've played in a while. However there's no active players on the server barely 2 players in it which I found surprising. I highly recommended everyone to play the game.

both BG and GG playlist also contain gender-non-confoming groups (like Newkin and Xlov) and co-ed stuff, that's why the collective playlist has less than the sum of the other two

BLACKPINK IS ELIMINATED(sigh they were my ult)

Hey everyone, yesterday IVE returned with a new mini album, and as I mentioned in the ILLIT review, I'll be talking about the IVE project tomorrow. I’ve been curious to see what the group will be bringing to the table this time around with their new music. I did enjoy REVIVE+, which has been on repeat for me since it was released earlier this year. Now let’s jump into the project and see what the group brought to the table. 

╚══════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══════╝

Looks Can Kill - IVE

1. Looks Can Kill

The title track was pre-released last week, and after hearing it twice when it came out, I didn’t remember much of it. I’ve heard it a couple of times now, and I’m in the middle of the tune. IVE goes for a brisk electro-pop beat with a singing-talking performance. I’ve seen the chorus grow on me with each listen, as it has an addictive vibe that keeps pulling me back for more. The rap in the second verse is pretty fun, as it blends with the thumping instrumental. The bridge might be my favorite section, as it delivers a melodically dramatic moment, adding to the overall vibe. I do find the verses to be a bit plain, as the hook has more meat to it, but that’s not making me dislike the overall song. I might not be the biggest fan of the track, but it’s still something I can listen to from time to time. 

》═══════~◈~═══════《

1. Mirror Mirror

Piano and strings delivering a haunting vibe open up Mirror Mirror, the second song on the project. I found myself pulled right into the track cause the intro intrigued me. The members go for a low, breathy, and atmospheric vocal performance that blends perfectly with the backing track. I find the vocal performance reminiscent of Blue Blood, which is a B-side from the group I love. The melody when they sing Mirror Mirror is another moment that pulls me right into the track. The more I hear the chorus, the more I fall in love with this song, as that moment keeps pulling me back for more. I’ve found myself loving it when IVE delivers a darker sound, and as a B-side, Mirror Mirror does an excellent job. 

》═══════~◈~═══════《

1. SNAKESKIN

SNAKESKIN caught me off guard with its experimental and glitchy vibe. The producers put a lot of layering on the members' vocals, which I wasn’t sure I liked at first, but I’m getting used to it now. I do like the aggressive rap section that Rei and Gaeul bring to the table, adding to the vibe. I do like the fast, thumping nature the instrumental delivers, as that is one thing bringing me back for more. The hook clicked with me right away, as it’s been replaying in my head like crazy. The vocal line delivers a climax right after the aggressive rap that hit hard. I find myself replaying this song a lot since it was released cause it has so much depth to it. 

》═══════~◈~═══════《

4. CRUMBS

Members Gaeul and Liz take part in the lyrics for CRUMBS, which is always good to see when members help with lyrics. The instrumental goes for a laid-back vibe with an infectious groove. I find the laid-back vibe to be a great switch-up from the last intense tunes. The members' vocals have this smooth feeling to them, which blends wonderfully with the overall vibe. The bouncy electro-pop vibe helps to keep that relaxing nature that lets the vocals stand out in the mix. The chorus is the smoothest moment, as it’s something that continues to grow on me with each listen. The rapping is just as smooth, fitting with a disco-sounding section that switches up the vibe a bit. I still think CRUMBS needs to grow on me more, but at the moment I’m still enjoying what the group has brought to the table. 

》═══════~◈~═══════《

1. Girls Girls Girls 

The title of the fifth song on the album made the Got7 song of the same name pop up in my head for a moment. I found Girls Girls Girls to be a bit basic for an IVE song, as it went for a bright-pop vibe. I found the song structure to be the most predictable on the album, but that didn’t fully make me dislike what was delivered. I do like the pop progressions that help to maximize the members' vocals. The chorus isn’t bad, but it feels a bit generic compared to what IVE normally delivers. I don’t fully love this track, as I wish they added more to it to make it stand out, but at the moment I can still listen to what they brought to the table. 

》═══════~◈~═══════《

1. Glow Motion

The closer of the project brings in a synth-pop vibe that has this nostalgic vibe to it, which helps end out the record perfectly. The instrumental does have this warmth to it, which fits the members' vocals. I love the performance the members bring to the table, as it’s one thing keeping this tune fresh in my mind. The hook is perfect for this type of tune as it does a great job helping ot close out the album. The group brings in smooth vocal harmonies that add to the vibe of the instrumental. 

╔══════ ❀•°❀°•❀ ══════╗

Summary: IVE is back with a new mini album that will continue to grow on me as I’ve been listening to it a lot. Looks Can Kill is a track that I’m in the middle of, but I don’t fully dislike it. I find that Mirror Mirror is the best song on the project since it has so much depth to it. I might not fully love this mini album from the group, but it’s still one that continues to grow, and I find something new to love about it with each listen.
