Off track, but I’m tired of these The Idol trailers. They’ve obviously been using Jennies face for views. I didn’t even really care what kind of role she got, but if it isn’t a somewhat significant character I’ll be pissed. It almost feels like Cardi B in that Stripper movie.

pretty sure it’s the former. I’ve noticed this a lot when it comes to Korean discussion about binge eating and the use of the word bulimia. Almost everyone who talks about having bulimia solely describes having binge eatinf behavior, and some of them say that they binged to the point that they threw up rather than forcefully making themselves throw up. I don’t know if there’s some kind of mis-translation happening or a misunderstanding of the term but I’m beginning to think a lot of the claims of bulimia there (like IU, she essentially said the same thing chuu did) are really just BEDim not even gonna lie. I was not expecting that from chuu. that’s so crazy and sad.
I feel like the translation is a bit funky. did she mean she used to binge so much that she would throw up. or she would binge and then forcefully throw up?

OK BEFORE YALL EAT ME ALIVE!
SAKURA IS 20 in this! according to some website i used, since sakura was born in good ol '98, she was about 19-20 in the photo below which was taken in 2018. SHE WAS GROWN!
also it's bikini/swimsuit! not like. underwear. ARE WE EVEN ALLOWED TO POST BIKINI PICTURES OF PEOPLE?!!?!?! i hope so. i havent read the rules in a long time.
。。。also hai (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ i genuinely feel like sakura has such a pretty body! some video i watched said she was spoon shaped, and this body type is so pretty. i really wonder why they didn't accentuate her body better in her kpop career because her shape is what most people consider perfect :3

i think her body shape is more ideal in the west than korea tbh? from what i remember koreans like more chest. like hourglass i guess? maybe it's less so now but a couple years ago definitely.。。。also hai (づ。◕‿‿◕。)づ i genuinely feel like sakura has such a pretty body! some video i watched said she was spoon shaped, and this body type is so pretty. i really wonder why they didn't accentuate her body better in her kpop career because her shape is what most people consider perfect :3

To keep is Kpop: Dreamcatcher had a comeback today! They are still one of my favorite girl groups but I haven’t really enjoyed their comebacks in awhile. This mini didn’t have any songs I would add to my Kpop playlist to listen to again.
On one hand I like that they have consistency in their sound but at the same time I think it would be a great idea for Leez and Ollouder to collab with other writers and producers.

maybe i’m also saying this cause i just never really vibed with suju? legit prefer snsd, dbsk, f(x), shinee, rv and exo all over them. i prefer suju over nct though and about the same as aespa. but music is supposed to be like that. there are so many different interpretations and genres so there is something for everyone

How could I forget that absolute bop! You're right! Still their new song has the most latin sounding beat I've ever heard in life, literally in every reggaetón song ever lol.

just sounds more generic than latin to me but to be fair i haven’t really listened to reggaeton in like 10 years so you might be right. i mean i named my acc after a shinee song so i get the old bias thing for sure hahaHow could I forget that absolute bop!

anyone into models? here’s a fun little video of sora choi.
I had no idea she was fluent in english! i’ve only heard her speak english little bits at a time so I was just so caught off guard to see her speaking so comfortably!
every time I see a video of sora she’s always so smiley and bubbly. but I had no idea she was THIS bubbly. such a severe contrast to her model persona.
imo not a lot of thinspo but it’s giving nice/pretty rich girl vibes.
also notice how she doesn’t eat not even once during the day(5am-12am the next day)

Chaeyeon solo debuted today!
Brief review: I prefer the song “Danny” over the title track. I also think Chaeyeon is the same as Somi in that she shines better in a group.

admittedly haven’t listened to it yet but it’s crazy how kpop is now so over saturated with soloist nowadays ever since chungha.Chaeyeon solo debuted today!

yes, I am aware that there were kpop soloist before chungha but you have to admit her success really brought in an influx of solo idols bc before her it was seen as a risky move to go solo bc they were usually not as near as successful as actual groups (unless you were either iu or hyuna).
now it feels like they’re solo debuting any popular idol. just because you were popular and had good stage presence in your previous group does not mean that will translate over to being an exceptional solo artist. it’s so much harder to fill the stage and I don’t think these companies realize that. they’re just relying on their popularity and the cost (bc it’s definitely cheaper to debut them solo).
these new solo artists they’re debuting aren’t even vocally strong like that which could be compensated if they gave them a good song but I really feel like these companies also buy them cheap songs which are crazy generic and are just begging to not chart at all.
glad chaeyeon debuted after soooooo long. but yes, it would have SO much better if she debuted in a group. have no idea why these companies couldn’t have made a group rq with the trainees they have.
wonyoung, yujin, sakura, and chaewon were all smart for (re)debuting in a group while chae, yuri, and kwon eunbi all fumbled so hard smh (gonna throw somi in there too even tho she’s a bit more successful than them but she woulda been way more successful in a group).

iu was never in a group so she doesn't really count but i see your point for sure. ga-in was also fairly successful at the time (hyuna was put in gangnam style and ga-in in gentleman by psy which kinda speaks for something imo) and taeyeon tbh but those are two idols with amazing voices and hyuna just got that x factor going for her.admittedly haven’t listened to it yet but it’s crazy how kpop is now so over saturated with soloist nowadays ever since chungha.

I only brought up iu to point out her success as a solo artist. I also forgot boa ofc. the blueprint loliu was never in a group so she doesn't really count but i see your point for sure. ga-in was also fairly successful at the time (hyuna was put in gangnam style and ga-in in gentleman by psy which kinda speaks for something imo) and taeyeon tbh but those are two idols with amazing voices and hyuna just got that x factor going for her.

but I so agree with you about not really liking any of the 3rd or 4th gen soloist. the only one I really keep up with chungha. I think her discography is amazing after her gotta go era personally. but it’s a shame that her company isn’t managing her better after her huge success with gotta go and then snapping. she was really close with the ceo I believe of the company and then they had some type management change but that’s beyond the point lol.
hyolyn has some good songs too. very much western sound but that’s honestly about it
(^actually counts as a 2nd gen soloist but whateves. you get my point lol)

has anyone seen this ive performance? ppl were saying it was a “disaster” but they sound fine to me ???
like leesoo had a voice crack but it honestly wasn’t the end of the world lol. like they all sounded pretty darn stable ESPECIALLY yujin.
the only difference is that they sound a lot more “cute?” sounding live. and when there was a little bit of backtrack (like the chorus and layered parts) they tried to hide behind it as much as they could but I still think overall it was good. I will always much more prefer live than pre recorded performances. I’d rather the imperfections.

can I just say that ive never seen a celebrity that is so calculated about their image before wonyoung.
during her izone era she was kinda the “typical” idol but after panaroma there seems to be this kind of ‘switch’.
on one hand in my very skewed perception it’s kind of goals just how intentional everything is from her. from the way she walks to the way she smiles, to her crazy disciplined diet. it’s all about presentation to her and how she’s perceived.
but on the other hand it seems like hell to try and keep that up 24/7 and you’re always kinda wearing a mask where no one really knows the real you.
I understand that other idols ofc care about their image too bc it’s their livelihood but you have to admit that wonyoung is on a whole different level.
I think that kind of makes me very interested in her. not just bc of her body but in basically every aspect of her life she is extremely disciplined. she’s the kind of girl you always ‘plan’ to be when writing down your goals but you never quite get there.

edit: i think why she seemed kinda different to me is that with the others they like speak about things that can be considered meals or snacks while chaer was like supplements w water are kinda filling like... what kinda supplements must those be you know? that being said she did also mention ice cream or steak so yea there's that.

feels like chaeryeong gained a ton of popularity after her weight loss after previously being arguably the least popular member while ryunjin, who used to be among the most popular, seems to have lost a lot of popularity after her weight loss. funny how that works lol
i must admit, im one of those people that attribute a lot of her charisma to when she had more weight on her. call me crazy but it was something about her when she wasn't so stick thin.
or am i imagining this? lol

in my opinion a lot of Chaeryeong's popularity recently is due to her change in hair color and overall look. Black hair suits her and this is the first time she's had it through all of Itzy. She always had brown before which washes her out since she's cooltoned. The long black kind of grown up sophisticated look fits the image a lot of people have for her already. Weight wise she is about the same as she was post mafia/pre-loco but people weren't really as interested then. That was actually my favorite hair color on her personally though (the bright cherry red).
On the other hand, Ryujin had the punchy shorter hair during a lot of Itzy's early stuff and more recently has been long. She also had cool hair colors before as well (pink, skunk stripe, etc). I don't think the plain black straight and long look is as eye catching or interesting. I believe this is why she returned to short again since it wasn't working as well image wise, probably personality wise too.
Styling also. Chaeryeong has been given a lot of outfits that show off her better features lately (legs). On the other hand, while Ryujin normally has the kind of more eccentric outfits, I think Sneakers era she's had many of the most boring ones because they are aiming for more of the long hair lovely girly thing which is not as interesting on her. I think the best one she has this era was the blue gingham one on Inkigayo. That one the lovely girly look really worked well.
Weight plays some part but I think it's mostly styling and visuals as Ryujin has just been less visually eye-catching this era aside from the very apparent weight loss.

i never really thought of it but i do agree that the hair for both of them probably play a significant role. especially for ryunjin when she had the long extensions in for a moment it caught me totally off guard. it did feel like a failed image change imo.I attribute it more to image change and less weight.

as for styling for sneakers era, (im gonna try to explain this as best i can 💀 bare with me lol) i feel like that did not play a huge role and i say that because sneakers was kind of a flop (a flop in itzys book at least) fancams views were lower than usual and i feel like there wasnt a whole lot of fan made content this era bc of how many people weren't really vibing with it. fanmade content can play a huge role in the popularity of members. i feel like her popularity started to rise before sneakers era actually bc ppl were finally paying attention to her shocking weight loss. i also feel like tiktok played a huge part in her popularity. but hey that could just be idk
you should go!! i went to the twice concert alone lolOff topic but blackpink is coming to houston and i wanna go to their concert but not by myself

Yea i might nobody ik likes kpop but its ok I should experience my first kpop concert by myself at leasti never really thought of it but i do agree that the hair for both of them probably play a significant role. especially for ryunjin when she had the long extensions in for a moment it caught me totally off guard. it did feel like a failed image change imo.

Tbh it was cause their outfits are slightly not flattering so they all like 5-10 lbs heavier than they normally do and kpop fans froth at the mouth when an idol doesn’t look dangerously underweight LMAO
has anyone seen this ive performance? ppl were saying it was a “disaster” but they sound fine to me ???
like leesoo had a voice crack but it honestly wasn’t the end of the world lol. like they all sounded pretty darn stable ESPECIALLY yujin.
the only difference is that they sound a lot more “cute?” sounding live. and when there was a little bit of backtrack (like the chorus and layered parts) they tried to hide behind it as much as they could but I still think overall it was good. I will always much more prefer live than pre recorded performances. I’d rather the imperfections.

Sorry for the weird quality but it’s actress Jo Yoo Jung, I recently watched adult trainee and it’s so so good, especially the story from episode 3-5. She has a larger frame but her limbs are super long and skinny

trueee, ryujin used to be my bias now chaeryeong isfeels like chaeryeong gained a ton of popularity after her weight loss after previously being arguably the least popular member while ryunjin, who used to be among the most popular, seems to have lost a lot of popularity after her weight loss. funny how that works lol
i must admit, im one of those people that attribute a lot of her charisma to when she had more weight on her. call me crazy but it was something about her when she wasn't so stick thin.
or am i imagining this? lol
but in my case its more about the whole aura she seems to be so confident now
welp

le sserafim comeback!
i am actually pleasantly surprised how much i liked it bc i wasn't too crazy about their debut. i have a couple things to say about the song/mv!
- i feel like eunchae has now really established herself as a member of this group. looks like she gained a lot of confidence!
- i was also surprised that she was the one singing the antifragile part!
- kazuha stretching poses in the mv have me dead. ESPECIALLY that first shot of her.
- her deep voice is EVERYTHING. so far they're really utilizing her voice really well within the songs
- am i the only one who thought the song had a weird filter over their voices? it was so noticeable to me? it didn't even sound like regular autotune bc you're generally not supposed to notice the autotune. was that a stylistic choice? not sure how i feel about that.
- the line distribution FELT pretty fair. felt like eunchae got a ton more lines while kazuha got fewer than expected but overall still pretty fair. i understand that it will not be 100% equal.
- anyone else surprised by their voices? for some reason their voices didn't feel like "their" voices if that makes sense. to me, only chaewon and kazuha sounded relatively the same.
overall, im pretty pleased with this comeback! can't wait for the stages!

i wouldn't say it's oversaturated with soloists as i'm pretty sure groups still outnumber them (i could be wrong)admittedly haven’t listened to it yet but it’s crazy how kpop is now so over saturated with soloist nowadays ever since chungha.
yes, I am aware that there were kpop soloist before chungha but you have to admit her success really brought in an influx of solo idols bc before her it was seen as a risky move to go solo bc they were usually not as near as successful as actual groups (unless you were either iu or hyuna).
now it feels like they’re solo debuting any popular idol. just because you were popular and had good stage presence in your previous group does not mean that will translate over to being an exceptional solo artist. it’s so much harder to fill the stage and I don’t think these companies realize that. they’re just relying on their popularity and the cost (bc it’s definitely cheaper to debut them solo).
these new solo artists they’re debuting aren’t even vocally strong like that which could be compensated if they gave them a good song but I really feel like these companies also buy them cheap songs which are crazy generic and are just begging to not chart at all.
glad chaeyeon debuted after soooooo long. but yes, it would have SO much better if she debuted in a group. have no idea why these companies couldn’t have made a group rq with the trainees they have.
wonyoung, yujin, sakura, and chaewon were all smart for (re)debuting in a group while chae, yuri, and kwon eunbi all fumbled so hard smh (gonna throw somi in there too even tho she’s a bit more successful than them but she woulda been way more successful in a group).
//rant over lol
but yea i think the main problem these former-group member soloists face is the fact that they are quite literally trained for years to work in groups and understandably have a much harder time shining on stage as a solo artist, tho tbh i don't think they're companies expect them to be super successful
i can see yuri being in another group, and i would've looooved for chaeyeon to be in le sserafim(it was my delusional fantasy) also i'm p sure she was supposed to be in a group but literally all the other supposed members/trainees left the company oof. as for eunbi, i'm sure there would be annoying controversy about her age. tho im not sure their success would be too different seeing as their companies aren't that big.
