zin Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 i saw that there werent any recent kpop threads so i figured id start one! here are some starter questions: do you like kpop? have you always wanted to get into it? would you like recommendations? what are your favorite groups? i personally am a huge fan of girl groups and indie soloists. my all time favorite group is red velvet and my ult bias is seulgi! i also really love mamamoo, orange caramel, f(x), heize, and dean! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoop Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 do you like kpop? I ... don't actually really know! have you always wanted to get into it? Not particularly! Though, I think that's mostly more to do with a lack of awareness than anything else. I've watched a lot of Korean movies lately though, and have grown fond of the language. would you like recommendations? Hit me. what are your favorite groups? Not applicable! i personally am a huge fan of girl groups and indie soloists. Show me these things. I tend to gravitate toward girl groups in general, since I find the female voice to be (on average - I do listen to male singers as well) more pleasant to listen to than the male voice. ^^ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohloo Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I've only just recently found out what Kpop is. I've been slowly exploring it through YouTube! My first exposure to kpop was Exo with their song Monster. So I listened to some of their stuff. Then through suggested videos I ended up through a trail of 2NE1, 4Minute, SHINee, Blackpink, and BTS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohloo Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 ye i like kpop, my favorite groups are exo, super junior, black pink , monsta x, infinite. To answer your second question: not really, found it randomly.

Kohloo Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I couldn't add MonstaX here due to Media limit per post is only 5 max. [spoiler=Monstax]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ9lJ5ctd0s I'm glad we have something common Methinks I have to check out Super Junior, Infinite, and MonstaX sometime soon!

brycec Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I have heard of it, but was not really interested in listening to it. I would be willing to check out a song or two, but I do not particularly have favorite music genres. Some songs I like, and others I do not.

zin Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Hit me. alright! since you said you gravitate towards feminine voices (i do too) ill recommend some of my fav more recent songs and we can go from there if you wanna check any more out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGdbaEDVWp0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUR8QByF2As http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbhmTM1cRro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sno_genwMz8 i tried to give a variety so let me know what you like! my favorite groups are exo, super junior, black pink , monsta x, infinite all great groups!!! i really love monsta x and blackpink especially 2NE1, 4Minute, SHINee, Blackpink, and BTS ah i guess you like the hip hop/rap centric groups then! if you want more recs for similar groups lemme know! 4minute is fantastic its such a shame they disbanded,, I would be willing to check outa song or two, but I do not particularly have favorite music genres. all the songs linked here so far are great! if you wanna name an artist or two you like i can try to find some similar kpop groups bc theres a wide variety Edited June 13, 2017 by Guest 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brycec Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Some artist that sung songs that I liked were Riya, Lia, Asian Kung Fu Generation, Good Charolette, Ray, and Two-Mix. If you need more help narrowing it down many of the songs from Riya and Lia I like come from Key/Visual art's OSTs. Asian Kung Fu Generation's Rewrite and Re:re. Good Charolette's Boy's and Girls, Ray's opening song from the first thirteen episodes of A Lull in the Sea, and Two-Mix's Truth. I am including particular songs and/or albums where they can be found because many artists change their styles over time (e.g. Linkin Park), so I was not too sure if you pick up on which things I prefer.

Frost Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Pretty much a fan of a lot of foreign music. I love many things, but K-pop (also J-pop) as been something I have enjoyed since a young age. I will admit however, that over the years I have fallen off the wagon. Not because I do not enjoy it, just constantly busy, it's been difficult to keep up with anything, even anime. I would not say I am picky as I enjoy most music. Some of the stuff I use to listen to included Super Junior, Miss A, 2PM, TVXQ, ShinEE, Big Bang, Girls Generation, BoA. G-Dragon, Outsider... I'm interested in getting back into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RepentantSky Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Kpop is a mixed bag for me. On the one hand you have songs like Monster by BIG BANG which is one of my favorite songs of all time or OVERDOSE by EXO-K, but then a lot of it falls into the pretty visuals and artists more than anything else and excuse me for saying it, but 2NE1 is pretty much all style no substance. Then there's people like PSY who's best songs are not his most popular, but it hardly matters because even though his songs are super catchy their quality stands somewhere in the middle. Then there's BTS which is almost always straight fire. I guess that's not really a unique issue, but because I got into Kpop only two or three years ago, I naturally treat it a bit differently.

Oh yeah, I've been exploring a bit into Hyuna's stuff lately! I've listened to Roll Deep, but now I'll also check out How's This (I like it). I'm not entirely fond of one the girl's voices in clc. But it doesn't ruin the song for me, that's a good one! I never heard block b until now. I may have just found my newest obsession 2PM. Go Crazy is a fun sounding song. I like how it still falls into something I like, but different enough for when I'm in the mood for something else. I couldn't really get into My House though (okay that sounds like I've locked myself out lol). Out of what you've shown me, block b is definitely my favourite!
