I'm an indian student curently in bcom 2nd year. im doing CA and im interested in working in south korea in near future. As an indian future CA i wanna know what are the possiblites to work in south korea.
So my gf wants to see one of SEVENTEEN’s concert (and I want to surprise her) during our trip in Japan and I came across this website called viagogo, how reliable is this website to buy tickets from ? Or how can I get tickets for this concert… I really appreciate any guidance I could get.
Thanks in advance
I see that you can scroll through the live chat, but how can I sync the live chat to the video time? I feel like this is a feature any livestream should have, so I hope there's a way to activate it.
I could SWEAR I saved it to my ateez/art collection but seems I didn't... I've been hunting for like, an hour now.
By 'immoral' I primarily mean damaging artists' wellbeing (physical/mental/reputational etc.).
The most drastic scenario I can think of is for the government to launch a holistic inquiry on said immoral practices, release its findings, then force the disengagement of the agencies in question from national media until said practices get rectified. I do have doubts on whether this scenario is likely or effective though.
Hi there
Does anyone know how to book tickets for the SVT pop-up in Shanghai later this year?
I tried downloading the app, but it doesn't want to install on my phone :(
Any help is welcome :)
ps. I'm knew to reddit, so still figuring out how this thing works :p
my ult of all ults is coming here in two months, i've been following them since 2018. the ticketing was last month but some of the concert tickets are still available, especially the section(s) i'm aiming for. the plane tickets and nearby hotels were also still available. i was very happy because i thought i would be able to book the ticket right there and then despite not buying the ticket earlier, but it turns out an unexpected thing happened and now i'm 100% certain i can't go.
i've gone to their concert once in 2022, that was my first ever concert. but this time i want to go again because the setlist has all of my favorite songs in it, and, well, because that last concert was basically the best night of my life. suddenly not being able to attend felt like a punch to the gut, and i can't stop thinking about it.
i was wondering if anyone has any effective ways to get over the heavy feeling or to just simply stop thinking about it?
Hey everyone! I know we all have our favorite songs currently or from over the years, but I was curious to know what songs you all weren’t big fans of and why. Maybe songs you were really excited for that fell flat when you thought they’d be amazing. Obviously we all have our own tastes so no disrespect, I was just curious as to what you all say didn’t really work.
It's about sugar and it's sung by a group of girls in Korean and English it talks about love and sugar there was a little rap too. It wasn't like black pink it was more soft spoken and there was some part about sugar on the tip of your tongue? (THE SONG WAS CHOCLATE THANK YOU SO MUCH)
I love ditto especially the mv and how it captures the feeling of loneliness so well.It’s like u don’t really fit in and are seeing the world through a lens.
SOOOOOO, Guys, I think I have fully delved into the enitrety of seventeens discography and I have a playlist of all my best which is about 4 or 5 hours long. Some seventeen songs are so criminally underrated that I find it hard to believe that no one else is talking about these masterpieces. The first one is OMG, yoooo, that song is so good, the beat from the beginning immediately draws me in. Then CHUCK and HEY BUDDY?????, do people not love full-of-hype masterpieces no more????. The next one is Heaven's cloud, that song is so beautiful gosh. Then LET ME HEAR YOU SAY??, wowwwwww. Anyways guys, what are some seventeen songs that you also think are criminally underrated.
hi there! i’m going to stray kids dominATE world tour in kaohsiung, taiwan. firstly i have to say i’m not taiwanese and this is my first concert here so i’d appreciate tips on how people usually attend kpop concerts here. like what time is appropriate for queueing? how early to arrive to buy merchandise at the offline store? i got the “floor seat” and it already has numbers, but i’m confused whether or not it actually has seats and if i have to queue earlier.
lastly, what do you recommend is “essentials” for the concert? i see people recommend clear bags, though i don’t see any specific rules but i just want to be sure i don’t get my stuffs thrown away. any help/answers/advice is appreciated!<3
My brain just won't allow me to remember the song and I KNOW it's an easy one. The small extract of the song start at 43:01 on the ep459 of weekly idol. Please have mercy on me for not remembering (it's too short to get it with shazam).
Hey guys, so I'm a carat that joined when cheers by svt leaders came out because it is so addictive. I have always wanted to know this . Which members actually sang fast pace, I definitely cannot hear everybody's voice but I can clearly pick dk out( my bias). So who actually sang in the song
I found a BTS Butter signed album on bunjang.
They are now doing a promotion so it's about $400
Do u think its worth it?? Any comment will be appreciated!!
I swear i keep seeing that NMIXX, TWICE, Blackpink, Stray Kids, IVE, TWS, TXT, SVT, &Team, NCT and Riize (Seunghan) get dragged into the HYBE controversy? At this point every group is going to get dragged into it.
Can someone explain how they got dragged into this...? It feels so sudden but so many groups have been dragged into this (I already know about aespa, Le Sserafim, Illit, New Jeans and BTS Jungkook's involvement but how did so many JYP and YG groups get into it).
I REALLY love spider and I'm looking for songs that fit the same vibe
Sooo I'm still in the steps where im trying to just not be embarrassed of liking kpop in fear of being made fun of. so far my dad knows and he even bought me tickets to go see seventeen but so far only he and some of my friends know but I'm kinda like scared for what my other family will think 😭 like I don't want them to make fun of me or think certain things of me. Sometimes I attend in person kpop events like photocard trading events and I feel like really out of place or people judge me because I don't really look like the type to like kpop Iykwim 😭 or maybe all of this is just me being a really awkward person in general 😭
I was looking through Taeyeons discography and saw that Lucas was on ‘All Night Long’ on her Something New album (I’ve had the physical album since 2019, I just never paid attention to the titles), and I was wondering what the reception at the time was?
Since Lucas joined NCT in March 14,2018 and the album released in June 18, I can only assume this was their first introduction to Lucas as a solo act at the time. With such a powerhouse vocalist and a rookie on the same track, what was the reaction of Korean fans and international fans at the time? Was SM slammed for putting them on the same track since he had no forefront record of abilities aside from Empathy?
So I got the Neverland ticket for Gidle Melbourne show which gets special lanyard/ticket and sound check. I assume we get the ticket onsite? Because I haven't got anything in the mail. Also how do we find out about the details for sound check?
I know it's very specific to Australia concert but maybe it's the same in other countries.
Hello! I used to be really into kpop but it’s been a few years, I work at a non profit thrift and someone donated a bunch of albums. I was tasked w pricing them and I’m trying to figure out decent pricing for them. Say an album is selling new for 40$, if it doesn’t have the photo cards + poster I’m pricing them for 10$, then the set of 3 versions as 40$, if the individual album does have all of the stuff I’m pricing for 20$. Is this reasonable? I was never really a collector but clearly the person who donated was, and I want to price em cheaper than retail but still for the price they’re worth. Any comments help! I’ve priced about 15 albums and still have a whole box to go through
Hi everyone!
I will be attending Kiss Of Life's concert in November and got the VIP tickets. I was wondering around what time will soundcheck take place? Also, is the group photo before or after the concert?
Thanks in advance!
i hope it’s okay to post this in here.. i have a few albums i was going to sell soon but i didn’t know how to go about doing it. would people be more up to buying them if they were sealed or should i open them and show which inclusions/photocards are in the album? i know me personally i would rather buy a sealed album but then again ik some people would prefer to know what they get. what are your opinions on it?
edit: i am not trying to sell my albums on here or promote btw ! i was just wanting some advice because i don’t have experience selling albums
Hi I pre ordered an album on Makestar and its my first time ordering from them, I usually order from weverse but the GGUM album was sold out on weverse already. So I got the confirmation already from makestar about my preorder but on the bottom it says, "we sincerely appreciate your participation for (insert album)'s pre order event" and when I click on the site, it takes me to my participation history but when I click on my order history, it's empty. I did order an album, but I am just so confuse because the words they use make it seem like I am only participating in this pre order event.
What kpop song can I sing for my Talent Show? Just to let you know I don't speak Korean so it would be easy for me to learn if it only had a little bit of korean or english versions of kpop songs. I prefer mostly 4th gen to 5th gen. So pls help me out. Both bgs and ggs fine. Thank You!
Is there a good source to find templates of photocards? Either by group, member, or album? I'm personally looking for BG ones but it would be a good resource to have a list of all the good sites. I know Twitter has accounts that post them but are there any sites? Or good Twitter accounts to follow? Thanks!
Im new at the community and I was trynna find some groups to start with.
I've enjoyed a lot (G)I-DLE and Xdinary Heroes. do they (or their fandom) have any bad reputation? have they ever been involved in controversies?
I've noticed that (G)I-DLE seems to be pretty huge (at least at spotify), even though I havent heard of them before, thats why I got a bit suspicious lol
So from my understanding, ticketing in Japan are based on a raffle system and after applying, I didn't win any tickets :( Does anyone know how else I could get the MAMA Award Show tickets (specifically for day 2) otherwise? This will be my first time going to an award show, and to Japan, so I'm unfamiliar with resellers or how these things work.
Any help would be appreciated!!!
Does anyone know legit places that sell kpop albums whose shipping isn’t incredibly expensive? I’ve tried Walmart and Target but I can’t buy from the US website since I’m not from the US. Thanks in advance.
Okay, not really, but I still need the scoop.
I was a biggggg time K-pop fan from like 2010 to 2015. Grew up with the second generation groups (my absolute favorites are Girls' Generation, BIGBANG, 2NE1, and Apink-- still listen to their music and other second gen groups regularly), but I stopped keeping up as much from like 2015 on. I've always been intimidated to dive back into the K-pop world because I know how quickly the landscape changes. Seems like there are so many new groups and it's been extremely difficult for me to keep up. I was there to see the beginnings of what I assume are some of the most popular groups today (BTS, BLACKPINK, TWICE, Red Velvet), but I'm completely unfamiliar with the fourth generation unfortunately.
During the time I stopped following, I'd say the landscape was still SNSD being the most popular girl group, EXO gaining immense popularity from Growl, Overdose, and Call Me Baby (prob #1 hottest boy group at the time, right before the ascension of BTS with I Need U and Dope), and exciting debuts from new groups like Red Velvet, iKON, Seventeen, TWICE, and NCT who were ushering in the third generation.
What's happened over the past ten years? Who would y'all say are your favorite groups of today, and what songs/performances should I check out (I was always huge on live performances, thought they were what made K-pop so amazing... are shows like KBS Music Bank and M Countdown still even a thing?) Is the SM/YG/JYP monopoly still the same? Any real historic moments that I should be aware of?
I'd also love to answer any questions about K-pop during the era I followed, if you guys have any.
