- Reaction to The Boyz Sunwoo’s AirPod incident is disturbing.I get the fandom concern for his previous social media posts, but that’s not what Nana is talking about. Does it not make anyone else uncomfortable seeing a huge industry senior dogpile on a random mid tier level idol? It’s so direct in a way that I’ve never seen in my 12 years as a kpop fan… it almost makes… Read more: Reaction to The Boyz Sunwoo’s AirPod incident is disturbing.

- As a rule of thumb how long will home made pork Kimchi-jjigae keep in the fridge?I don’t think I’ve ever held for over 3 days but I have to admit – – it tastes better every day! BUT – how do you know if it’s TOO OLD? if it isn’t molded or (unusually) stinky, is it safe to eat or should I just plan on chucking leftovers after a certain date? Thanks submitted by /u/ABALLIETT… Read more: As a rule of thumb how long will home made pork Kimchi-jjigae keep in the fridge?
- Just figured out why Chinese idols tend to be only childrenIt seems like a no-brainer, but when I started thinking about Chinese idols most of them born in the mainland tend to be only children. Yuqi, Minghao, Zhang Hao, Renjun, Kun, Ma Jingxiang… there’s probably more but these are just the ones I can recall off the top of my head. Considering the one-child policy was only formally abolished in… Read more: Just figured out why Chinese idols tend to be only children
- Where would the prince sit?
I would post this in the AskKorean subreddit but unfortunately they don’t allow pictures to be attached to posts. So I hope it’s okay if I ask the question here. To make a long story short, I’m writing a fanfic about two game characters whose kingdom is based on Korea. My question is: Where would the prince sit/stand when it… Read more: Where would the prince sit? - Snow in April.Snowed for 30 minutes. 2 hours later, it was all sunshine. submitted by /u/avillageofbigheads [link] [comments]

- Enhypen’s amazing performance at coachellaI’ve kept up with Enhypen since I-land so I think I can say that engenes weren’t surprised today, we are just really proud.

- Who’s a group/idol you learned so much about in so little time, people would think you were a fan of them longer than you actually have been?A few years ago, maybe 2022-ish or whatever, I was watching a TikTok of one of my favorite K-pop accounts. I thought this man was like an older stan, like 3rd or 2nd gen. He had only been there since 2020 (so about two years at the time). Needless to say, myself and a lot of other people in the… Read more: Who’s a group/idol you learned so much about in so little time, people would think you were a fan of them longer than you actually have been?
