Theres a specific hat he wears in the relay and I believe in the music video too. I'm trying to buy it for my concert fit, and I like that it looks like a police cap without saying "police" like the ones on Amazon I've found.
I found one link of a "break down" but it shows a 600$ visor, when I'm pretty sure its a full cap, not a visor.
Also 600$ is WAY above my budget. I'd prefer like <70$
im going out of country soon to celebrate christmas w my family, and ill be getting albums. yet i wanna store my photocards seperately since im paranoid of them being damaged, so i wonder if i can bring my binder on a plane! would they not say anything?
hi this was my first time buying concert tickets with my friends and I didn't know it would become like this...
I initially got 3 cat 4 tickets for the seventeen concert but my friend had ended up getting 3 cat 3 tickets and mine had been upgraded to secure tickets so I thought I could get a refund...but after reading the terms and conditions then I realised I probably wouldn't be able to apply for a refund...now I need to clear my tickets urgently because I really can't afford paying for both the cat 3 and the cat 4 tickets...I've tried selling on both carousell and twitter already but it's not going too well...does anyone have any advice im really desperate 🙏🙏🙏
I know this situation might seem a bit silly to some people but this really was my first time trying to get concert tickets with my friends and now im really lost and panicking pls help for those who have experience 🙏🙏🙏 what should i doooo
I have this song that randomly popped back into my brain. I'm 99% sure it's Kpop, or at least Korean, and I know it couldn't have been released post 3rd gen (my best guess is 1st gen). I vividly remember the intro of the song sounding very close to Salt-n-Pepa's 'Push It' (1986) so I think it was a sample, it sounded like the iconic jingle of that song but modified. Also, there was a whispering part in the starting jingle (might have been nonsense or them saying 'push it real good' like in the actual song, I don't know). There is an English section in the song that is brief.
Also, the singers were most likely male and I don't think it was one person singing the song.
The rest of the song I can't really remember, but there are some English (?) lyrics I do remember. The first:
(Somewhere at the middle/end of it): 'It's your man(?)' and then it was repeated. I'm unsure if it was an English lyric or Korean word. And;
(A rap(?) section I'm guaranteed it's English): 'You (?) we might (?) forever(?)' and 'oh come on baby, let's take it real(?) slow(?)'
This song lives so vividly in my brain. I can't say much about the instrumental, I think it was EDM mixed with hip-hop? I'm terrible at explaining instrumentals to songs. It may have been edited versions of 'Push it" but I really don't know. I've tried to search for this song countless times, and it's driving me nuts because the parts I DO know are getting stuck in my head. If anyone has ANY clue what I'm yapping about, please help 😭
I love RING X RING and trampoline, and I would like to explore their discography further.
Hi guys I’m new to this community but I love love love K-pop. I’m actually leading a cover for Twice - Strategy, which we plan to record on Saturday. It does plan on raining in the morning when our scheduled film time is, but I already had a plan for an indoor location because I think that would fit the vibe better. Does anyone know where I should start looking for places I can ask if we could record there?
In California if that helps.
Hello! Me and my friend want to go to a TXT concert this march together since we will be in Korea at that time. We want to buy tickets for standing area through Interpark Global, but as far as i understand it might be hard to buy tickets in the same standing section. Does anyone know if it's possible to exchange ticket with someone or ask for the same section on the pickup?
Basically as said in the title. I was mostly a second and third gen fan, with my ults being Oh My Girl, Girls Generation, early Twice WJSN etc. I've always had a love for bright/bubbly/dreamy/girly type kpop groups, as well as more sexy concept style groups like Brown Eyed Girls. I started falling out of kpop around late third gen/early fourth gen because I wasn't interested in the girl crush type sound. I think the only 4th gen group i've listened to much is StayC.
Is there any 4th or 5th gen groups still carrying on a girly/bubbly sound? I miss having groups to follow but ive been out of it long enough most groups nowadays are strangers to me.
hi, this is my first time writing any post and english is not my first language, so i'm sorry about any confusion.
i really would appreciate if someone could recommend me songs that are similar to cha eunwoo - stay, sf9 - my story, my song or f(x) - ending page: songs with prominent acoustic guitar and that sounds dramatic and melancholic.
thank you!
So, I use to listen to k-pop when I was younger but haven’t in years. I want to get back into it. Where should I start? Are the fandoms still active?
i just ordered stuff from the smtown global shop, all items already released except one which was a preorder. will i have to wait until the preorder item is released to receive all my items?
So I remember a scene in the song where one of the members was I think a van with money and he was putting it is a suitcase, there was also this scene where a tv was like saying some in Japanese with like the voice that they use for train announcements and shit in Japan and then some of the members say "what?" Then immediately to the loud lyrics It was a boy band and It was release in 2022 or 2023 I completely forgot this song and I haven't been able to sleep in 3 weeks because I kept thinking about it
There have been many groups who have lost members for some reason. The thing is, I've never heard of a leader leaving. It's not a position that can be as easily filled as lead vocalist or something. Have there been any examples of this, and if so, how did the group respond?
Hi! I recently started using Bubble and subscribed to Chan. I was wondering if someone could explain what the different symbols next to messages on bubble mean? There's one specifically I wanted to ask about but it looks like I can't upload a photo. I was also curious if there is a way to tell whether the artist replied specifically to a message you sent.
Hello everyone :)
Lately I start to love some K-Pop songs and the song (ateez(에이티즈) - '멋(the real) (흥 : 興 ver)) I loved it at first sight because of its music that makes you want to dance without realizing you are dancing right?
Yesterday at KBS channel I saw a stage performance of this song (that’s when I loved it at first sight) and I noticed there is a handsome idol (maybe Heung) wearing long dark brown coat was sitting on a chair on a side and participate a bit with a band (all wearing black stylish outfits) while they singing
I wonder anyone know about this performance and where it happened to watch it again on YouTube maybe and how I can search for it?
Hi, so I've only been collecting for a year now and there's some photo cards that I would like to display. I tried it with just leaning it against something with a bit of bluetac but they keep falling over. I've tried to look online but there's so many different sizes and options, so I'd really appreciate some help! I'm based in the UK.
I was listening to fiction by beast and I looked at the cover photo for the song and I saw this guy and in the photo he looks like leeknow from stray kids but everytime I try and look for more photos none of them look like this guy. Help (photo in replies)
Has anyone used interpark to book tickets with a debit card? I can't get my hands on a credit card and really want to book a concert in a few days. Otherwise I have a few friends in Korea could I possibly ask them to book it for me?
ny idea why they did it? not sure about other groups but they excluded ITZY's wannabe and sugarholic performances from the full set and didn't even upload it individually.
Is it so people that paid money got something extra?
Hi everyone, Can someone help me find "and with that the 2024 season comes to an end, remember 24?" Reel song idea but with a kpop song mashup! [I live in region where tiktok is banned and I was unable to find any ideas on Instagram]
What instrument is in the post-chorus of Ahn Ye Eun's Sailing? https://youtu.be/efrVSI3yVSA?t=158&feature=shared (at 2:38)
inspired by watching jungkook’s vlive, and then discovering that many of the other members are also enlisted, yet very active on social media or are releasing music. how does that work? doesn’t the military mostly prohibit access to the “outside world”? back in my day (lol) idols kind of just disappeared for two years, but that doesn’t seem like the case anymore.
For the choreos: Preferably girl groups but boy groups and solos are also fine. I liked le sserafim's Easy and most of yeonjun's GGum choreo, but didn't like Stray Kid's Chk Chk Boom cuz it felt more choppy.
also in general, any song recs? rn I like Red Velvet's Cosmic and Onew's 만세. Also I want to listen to NMIXX (liked dash) and (G)i-dle (done the 2 album. cream soup cocoroco) but I don't know where to start. Also maybe GFriend and Viviz? On a side note Shhh's last chorus's choreo was cool but other chorus choreos were ehhhhh. Slowly listening to Red Velvet stuff. Is there a kpop Lorde? Love Lorde music. Oh also le sserafim's No Celestial is my favorite of theirs rn.
I'm going to go on a kpop binge during christmas time so yeah content pls?
I bought tickets for 2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25th and I was wondering what the concert experience is like? Are most performances pre-recorded or live performance?
I need help getting back into K-Pop. I dropped it for a while and now I don't know where to start. So much has changed...
For context, I used to be a huge K-Pop fan back in 2020 - 2022 when BTS and Blackpink were all the craze. I got into K-pop because of BTS and slowly started discovering other groups like Blackpink, TXT, ITZY, Straykids, etc. I remember being in a much better mental state during that time (I was obsessed ngl and not the picture of perfect mental health, but stanning these groups gave me happiness). And then academic pressures and planning for the future took precedence and I lost interest in K-Pop. This was also accelerated by the fact that BTS started their military service and Blackpink started having extended periods of breaks between comebacks.
Now, I am in a much less hectic personal phase and want to pick up my interests from before. But I am so lost with the current K-Pop scene. I have no idea where to start, especially since my once favourite groups are no longer active as a group. Personally, I am not a fan of Blackpink's solo projects and while BTS' solo projects are great, I can't seem to find the type of solace I found in them as a group. Maybe since I have found and completed watching all their auxiliary shows (both BTS and Blackpink), I might be finding the 'nothing-new-here' phase a bit lacklustre?
Anyways, I would really love it if anyone can suggest how I can renew my interest in K-Pop once again. Maybe some interesting stuff certain groups are doing, any groups that have a similar vibe (and are doing justice) and work profile like BTS or Blackpink, or just any group you think are worth stanning for their music or anything else.
Thanks in advance!
I heard this song like 3-4 days ago and no-one in the comments knew what it was called.

i’ve been a kpop stan for awhile now but i’m just starting to actually collect stuff and actually have the want to get certain photocards. i’m literally so confused when it comes to getting or looking for specific pcs or rare pcs? i think i literally need the whole concept explained to me in the most basic terms. i’m also in america so if u can explain how to get certain rare pcs here too that would help
any help would be so so so appreciated 😭
for context i was a huge kpop stan a few years ago but then i lost interest completely and just now getting back into it. i was also a huge wizone back in the day, so when lesserafim debuted i was keeping up w their releases up until antifragile era which is when i kind of lost interest in the industry as a whole. i remember back then (from atleast what i was seeing) they were fairly well liked in most kpop spaces? now that im back on kpop twt i see so many lsfrm hate tweets that get a lott of likes and not a lot of people qrting/defending them. was there some kind of scandal that happened recently or did this just come w what i assume is a higher level of fame ?😭 im genuinely lost as to why the general opinion of them seems to be negative now
I’m looking for an old Newjeans video where the members (maybe only hanni) recorded a clip saying what they hope for the future of Newjeans. It’s probably from sometime in 2022. It was filmed in the dance practice room (I think)
