Paysable Able Union Shipping?

Hi, for those of you familiar with Paysable, has anyone used Able Airline shipping option? It’s the cheapest (cheaper than K-packet) but this is their description:

“Able AirLine is a delivery option that focuses on economic delivery by cooperating with the destination's posts. It only accepts items less than 5kg.

[Customs Notice] Customs requirements may vary depending on country. Therefore, we recommend checking with the local customs before forwarding.”

Do you think it’s safe to use? I just don’t want it to get lost. Thank you!

r/kpop's events page for 2025 is empty?

Sorry to post here, wasn't sure if I could post something like this in r/kpop. Anyway, I use this list to see what tours are planned for this year, and I could've sworn it was filled out before but maybe I'm remembering wrong. Is there a reason it hasn't been filled out for 2025? I'm pretty sure we have some tours already scheduled, at the very least Taemin's. So what gives? >:

Looking for a kpop music video!

kpop boy group at around 2010-2015?
remember watching it around early 2012 or 2013 (around when troublemaker and the boys released). the majority of the MV’s scenes had a white background (with some pillars) and it was a group of guys and 2-3 members had blond really early 2000s hair. I remember there was also rose and/or glass shattering. Sorry for the vague description and I really appreciate the help 😭😭😭❤️ the guys were also wearing formal outfits (almost like suits)

also no girls in the music video! And the music was really sad

I need recommendations for a photo card holder

Hi guys 👋🏽. I have been wanting to look for a photo card holder with a stand for display, however I don’t know which brand is the best. I had a friend who used a cheap one and the picture kind of transferred to the case and I don’t want that to happen to my photo.

If you guys have any suggestions of brands or something you guys trust, I would highly appreciate it. Also, is a UV protective magnetic card good?

I need help preparing for JHope LA Tickets!

Hello everyone, I'm interested in getting tickets for Jhope's concert in LA and was planning on getting the US membership to sign up for presale, however I was unsure whether there would be a separate pre-sale sign up or if it was too late to do so.

The wildfires are now fully contained, so I hope they will go on sale sometime this month!

Songs like Strategy by Twice?

Looking for songs like Strategy by Twice, Mantra by Jennie, and Debut by Katseye.

I love the empowering feel of the songs but also how they keep that feminine/girly sound. I like the almost cheerleader type chants as well.

Stray Kids Pit Ticket Prices in Europe

I'm planning to see Stray Kids in Rome, but the ticket prices aren’t visible yet. I’d love to get an idea of how much Pit 3 (right in front of the stage) might cost based on prices from other European cities like Frankfurt or Amsterdam.

For those who have bought pit tickets for Stray Kids in Europe, how much did you pay? Were there big price differences between cities? I want to plan ahead and avoid stressing out when the tickets go on sale.

Any insights would be super helpful—thanks in advance!

Help Finding GG Song That Sampled This

Listened to Laguna by Bluewerks recently, and I swear this is sampled in a kpop song (or vice versa)!! Is definitely a girl group song, maybe a soloist even? I’m thinking Loona but genuinely cannot remember.

Link to the song: https://youtu.be/8KweZr7fnzQ?si=6_zQV6ThwmzOf_QU

Must say it’s totally possible this song was just used in the background of some kpop content, or it just sounds similar to a kpop song!

Need help looking for a keyring Woozi wore at a concert

I’m helping a friend out who’s obsessed with finding this grey plushie keyring Woozi was wearing at the SVT Right Here concert in Singapore Day 1.

The closest match my friends could find were the LMR SSANGNYOUNGEE keyrings, but the label colours aren’t the same (LMR keyrings have blue labels, Woozi’s seems to be beige/sand).

Hi-res image of Woozi with the keyring (best angle we could find): https://imgur.com/a/atDjNCV

Close-up look: https://imgur.com/a/bKaQnrv

Frontal but blurry screencap from a video: https://imgur.com/a/4N3btYB

Help a girl out here? 🙏🏻 Thanks in advance, everyone!

Songs like “As you wish” by WJSN and “Up” by Izone which outro is sang by a group of people?

These two songs have their choruses sang by a lot of people (like a crowd singing it). If I’m not wrong “Up” outro is sang by all of the group and “As You Wish” is sang by a crowd of people leaded by the members.

Bought ateez vip through seetickets fan to fan

Hello, I bought an atiny vip through seetickets fan to fan, but later on I went to try and sell my sector vip and seetickets emailed me that they don't let vip tickets resell, the girl I bought it from seems very trustworthy and is answering all my questions and very active, and theoretically you can't resell a fake ticket through seetickets, can you? I checked so many times before buying...

Today they sent the tickets and on the vip atiny shows a different price but the ticket name IS vip atiny... I'm just wondering if it's a mistake from the company or if I was sold a fake ticket so that I can sue or whatever..

thank you :') I'm so scared I'm going to lose 400€...

First time buying concert tickets…

This may sound silly but I’ve never purchased a concert ticket on my own before 🙈 I plan on seeing STAYC this year, however the North American dates/venues have not been released but I want to be prepared for when they do. Would anyone mind walking me through how to buy a concert ticket?

This might also be my first kpop concert by myself. For those who’ve been to concerts solo what can I expect and what was it like for you?

I don't want to talk about kpop at school

I've been a kpop stan for a really long time now and enjoyed kpop ever since I was younger, with a very close group of family friends. About a year ago, a part of my school friend group became kpop stans (all with British backgrounds). I'm not gonna lie, I was really excited at first when they got into it, but as time passed, I began to wish it didn't get involved in my school life. I don't want to be petty, but before, I was able to enjoy it at my own pace and didn't have to constantly feel like I wasn't an 'enough' fan, if I didn't know every single little thing. Sometimes they say, "oh you didn't know that?" and think it's some sort of surprise cus I've 'liked it longer' which makes me feel like shit and constantly pressured to know everything when I really don't. Whenever they talk about it or bring it up, I don't say anything unless they ask, but now they think I don't like it anymore cus I don't talk about it to them. I still do, I just don’t talk about it with them. I think I might be pissed because growing up, I lived in a predominantly white country and it was quite hard being a poc. Liking kpop made me FINALLY proud to be ethnic, and helped me come in touch and accept my culture as I saw these idols embrace theirs. It used to be something I could go home and enjoy but now it's so hard for me to. I don't where I was going with this but yeah.

edit: i added more context and info

uniq valentines vlive where?

hi, to the small dying fandom of uniq, does anyone have a copy of their valentines livestream on vlive? a fan posted it on youtube with eng subs but it seems like theyve taken it down or deleted their channel.

ever since vlive was acquired/shut down and the uniq fandom being practically dead, it's been getting harder to find content about them <\3 the valentines vlive was one of my favorite livestreams because i kept laughing at their antics so it would be greatly appreciated if someone can give me a copy or link 🥹

What’s a currently active girl group that’s the closest to older groups like Apink and GFRIEND?

It feels like most girl groups these days are trending more towards the bad/cool/tough/empowering/cvnty/sexy girl image (which is totally cool) but I’m just wondering which girl groups nowadays have more of the cute/romantic/wholesome image?

It could be a group that’s really obvious and famous but I have no idea, I’m lacking quite a bit in my 4th and 5th gen knowledge

Thanks in advance!

Weverse shop KRW or USD ?

Hi, I'm from Europe and would like to purchase txt lightstick for the upcoming tour next month, but it's only in stock on weverse shop.

Months ago I saw people saying it was cheaper to buy with KRW on weverse shop instead of using USD. Which seems to be true because I have 10€ difference between KRW and USD when converting 😬

So here is my questions 🙇‍♂️

  • if i use KRW, will I have bank fee later since its not my bank currency ?
  • Is it really worth it to pay with KRW if there's bank fee + if USD have an easier way of paying with stuff like PayPal ?
  • and not really related, are custom fee avoidable with weverse shop or we're sure to have them no matter what ? :(

And last question about shipping; Is CA safe compared to FedEx ?

It sure will be cheaper that if I brought it from my local store if they had stocks, but i also don't wanna risk it if I end up having + 30€ fee 😭 thank u to anyone who would read this 🙇‍♂️🥺

I need help in finding out a Korean song similar to Chanyeol voice

Hi guys, I’m looking for a song which I used to frequently listen to. The voice is similar to Chanyeol I guess. But I have seen the music video though many times. The music video is based on the power rangers shooting setup where the guy who plays the villain loves a girl who acts as pink power ranger but the other guy who is also power ranger protects her and kills the villain. The music video shows behind the scenes of this shoot. Can you help me find this song?

What 4/5 Gen Boy groups would you recommend me to listen to as a OG kpop stan that loved Shinee and BigBang back then?

I do enjoy a lot of 3 Gen music already but havent been able to get into 4 or 5 Gen much.. I have tried here and there and liked some songs and the concepts and music videos are so cool but it all left me a bit "empty"

I really like Aespa's recent music so maybe I have just switched to GG's for newer groups.. 😆

Help me find kpop song pls 😭🙏

I'm trying to find a kpop song, it's a female vocal, not sure if it's a girl group or a solo (but I listen to girl groups more). It opens with some soft, thumping music and then they sing something like "shikga ja"

I tried to find it on Google but I couldn't find it. AI couldn't find the song either because the part I remember is too short. Because it only has Chikkaja 😭💔 Thank you everyone.

Similar lyrics and melody - i need help figuring out a sample

So i was listening to StayC metamorphic the other day, and "Flexing' On My Ex"'s intro has almost exactly the same melody as Yves "Diorama"'s bridge near 1:50. Not only that, but the lyrics are super similar !

StayC Flexing On My Ex "Baby, I won't get lost in you Even though I got love for you"

Yves Diorama "Maybe I can get lost in you Just tell me how to think babe, yeah-eah"

Since they came out at about the same time i'm not claiming any sort of copying, but rather a similar sample/interpolation? I tried looking for it but didn't find anythng. Is it just a coincidence ? Both of these are bsides with little information about them.
