- The only way to participate on this sub is to be chronically onlineI’m sorry but mods are doing too much. There are posts that have been up for an hour and they got locked, the rest of the posts getting traction on anything but KIOF have been locked as well. I don’t care if you love or hate certain idols but they’re not Voldemort, we should be able to comment their names… Read more: The only way to participate on this sub is to be chronically online
- Why doesn’t Soyeon do more solo music???I saw a post the other day talking about I-dles comeback, it basically said that other than Soyeon the other members didn’t seem too into their recent comeback. They then said if Soyeon was so into the concept and the song why didn’t she just make it a solo? It made me wonder why Soyeon doesn’t do more solo work.… Read more: Why doesn’t Soyeon do more solo music???
- kpop stans need to understand that people are not forced to accept apologiesFirst of all, I want to make it very clear that I will never support hate. No matter what an idol has done, threats and insults are always too far. Constructive criticism is what idols who made mistakes should receive. I don’t like how some kpop stans have this mindset that just because an idol apologized, the community they hurt… Read more: kpop stans need to understand that people are not forced to accept apologies
- I never expected to see a kpop group shading another kpop group on their official TikTok account…The official Ablume TikTok account is resposting some fans posts to their story and they reposted one where the text calls them the “real Fifty Fifty”. Now this caught me off guard bc, while I know the fighting can get pretty intense between the two fanbases, I never would have expected an official account to partake in something so petty… Read more: I never expected to see a kpop group shading another kpop group on their official TikTok account…

- What makes a genuine apology and what should we expect?A lot of people are making posts and asking what it would take to forgive Kiss of Life. I wanted to discuss the basics of what an apology should be, regardless of which group committed which offenses. Apologize to the communities you’ve harmed. A proper apology addresses exactly who the person has harmed. Acknowledge what went wrong. A genuine apology… Read more: What makes a genuine apology and what should we expect?
- Which boy groups do you think are most likely to be able to regain their stability after military service?We know that all groups tend to experience a decline after a certain number of years in their careers and after passing their peak. It’s a natural thing because new groups are introduced. However, boy groups, in addition to this natural cycle, must also face military service, and because it lasts so long, it’s inevitable that they lose fans and… Read more: Which boy groups do you think are most likely to be able to regain their stability after military service?
- Black burnt residue when cooking kalbiI like to make kalbi on the stovetop in a cast-iron pan, both pre-marinated kalbi bought from a store and marinated from scratch. Either way, the meat itself turns out fine but the burnt marinade drippings in the pan are such a pain to clean afterwards. I assume it’s so black and sticky since there’s sugar in the marinade that’s… Read more: Black burnt residue when cooking kalbi

- This sub is getting annoying with its habits of locking posts…I have moderated subreddits in the past before so I can image how exhausting it has to be to keep this place in check. But, the constant locking and removals of posts here is genuinely getting annoying. I remember one mod here complaining about the uncensored sub and about how it‘s so problematic but is the growth of that sub… Read more: This sub is getting annoying with its habits of locking posts…
- Is there anything good about being the oldest member in the group?Think about it! For most groups, you’re expected to be the leader…but you can opt out of this as many do (Nayeon TWICE is the oldest but JiHyo is the leader, Le Sserafim Sakura is the oldest but Chaewon is the leader, etc). If I recall correctly, SaRa from 9Muses was at one point the leader but not the oldest… Read more: Is there anything good about being the oldest member in the group?

- Is a kpop project only the story of the idol and do we know the idol?This is not just a kpop specific issue, it’s an issue with the current music fans all over the world. When a song is made, we automatically assume the song is about the artist themselves. But did we forget that songs are art and art can be about anyone and anything. And when it comes to a kpop project, there… Read more: Is a kpop project only the story of the idol and do we know the idol?

- “If Japan loses, Koreans will fight each other, divided by foreign powers”: June 1945 warning by Korean collaborator (박춘금, 朴春琴) who urged authorities to redirect Korean nationalism into support for Imperial JapanThis is a translation of a Japanese newspaper roundtable discussion from June 1945, held just two months before Imperial Japan’s defeat in World War II. The participants included senior Japanese officials—an army major general, colonial administrators, and publishing executives—as well as Park Chun-geum, a prominent Korean collaborator and former parliamentarian who was highly trusted by the colonial regime. Despite his… Read more: “If Japan loses, Koreans will fight each other, divided by foreign powers”: June 1945 warning by Korean collaborator (박춘금, 朴春琴) who urged authorities to redirect Korean nationalism into support for Imperial Japan
