I’m not really a stan but I do enjoy me some kpop sometimes. It’s catchy and makes me feel all tingly.
- neokillua 5y
  oh nicee what songs or groups / artist do u enjoy listening to?
  Edison 5y
  I know I’m very basic but I love BTS for some reason. It’s hard to tell why, quite frankly lol.
  neokillua 5y
  ah i love pre 2018 bts their songs nowadays are a bit too preachy for me but grammy nom well deserved! their impact is huge:)
  Edison 5y
  Actually, I lied about not being a stan.
  I FUCKING LOOOOOOOOOVE CL. I stan CL. She is the Queen.
  neokillua 5y

  LUFFYBFF 5y

I like jpop more but I enjoy guys like Dean and Zico
- neokillua 5y
  OMG dean is my all time favourite solo korean artist. i love me some krnb in general
  bentoh 5y
  yeah what makes me lean towards jpop is that they're more influenced by rnb than kpop lol. And I'm a fiend like, jazz, rap, rnb, blues, soul type if stuff lol.
- LUFFYBFF 5y
  YES DEAN AND ZICO FANXYCHILD THAT'S WHERE MY USERNAME COMES FROM i saw dean live 2 years ago he is a god !

hello hehe :)
Recently I´ve been really interested on EXO and BTS. I feel like kpop isn´t just about music, but also the vibe that the members give off and their dancing is just AAAA.
anyways, im still a newbie tho hehe
- neokillua 5y
  that is very true! you're a newbie? omggg if i may, i would recommend checking out nct ^^
  carollikestofu 5y
  thank you!! i just searched about nct and it looks pretty great!
RealityExtinct 5y
I have a friend who is into kpop and kmusic as a whole and throws me song recs now and then that I do enjoy. I don't go looking for it on my own tho lmao XD
Anyway, nice to meet you!
- neokillua 5y
  got7 hahahaha theyre such a funny group i recommend 90s love by nct u for you to check out!
  RealityExtinct 5y
  Ha, thanks!XD
BlazeMeas 5y

  BlazeMeas 5y

  neokillua 5y

  BlazeMeas 5y
  ah okey ^^

ccbestgirl 5y
I just wanna know why jpop isnt as popular as kpop
- LUFFYBFF 5y
  mmm i feel like i can't exactly say and could totally be wrong but i think it just has to do with kpop being such a formulaic industry? like ofc with their years and years of constant training and planning and all the work and effort and MONEYY that goes into every group and song. and their marketing strategies are no joke. i feel like the sound with kpop, even though it encompasses and is an umbrella term for tons of music that's just in korean, it's pretty heavily composed/formulated with international audiences in mind. with groups like bts, you can also see their success has a lot to due with international engagement and accessibility (not to mention ofc their music that really speaks to people BUT-)
  birderdimvar 5y
  to my knowledge, there seems to be less of an emphasis on global marketing of jpop groups compared to kpop groups. additionally, there has been restrictions on viewing japanese content outside of japan for a while (numerous japanese artists on spotify will not have their full discography uploaded due to copyright complications). + some jpop concepts aren't as palatable in the west (emphasis on cuteness, etc).
  
  j-rock is much more recognized internationally, however.
  
  (blocked from replying to ccbestgirl lol)
- motions 5y
  @ccbestgirl Easy. Jpop doesnt appeal as much to the general public as much as kpop.
  ccbestgirl 5y
  That's what I'm struggling to understand lol, jpop sounds as good as kpop(or even better imo) but their songs rarely get those many views. Well its fine anyways cuz a small community is often less toxic
  motions 5y
  @ccbestgirl The Kpop industry is more westernized than jpop, normies are turned off by anime so they avoid all Japanese media, and I just think the jpop sound is less appealing to western audiences than kpop
  ccbestgirl 5y
  
  The Kpop industry is more westernized than jpop
  
  This sounds like a reasonable answer, makes sense
- bentoh 5y
  you know, besides BTS and black pink, I think Jpop is kinda on par with kpop popularity wise. LiSA and AKB48 are huuugge.
  
  Also, japan enters more facets in the music industry. I mean compared to other asian countries they are miles ahead of eveyone else in like, heavy metal, rock rap, jazz, all that shit ya know?
- Doom 5y
  kpop is basically like the boy band phase from the 2000s all over again pretty much. While japanese music is just normal like the rest of the worlds
LUFFYBFF 5y
yaa i've been listening to kpop since 3rd grade LMAOO so i grew up with 2ne1, big bang, girl's generation, f(x), super junior, shinee ! these days ofc btsss, ikon, i love dean and heize with my life, and REALLY you could name almost any 3rd-4th generation i most likely listen to !!! but i can't always keep up with EVERYONEE on like life or variety shows :') i've seen dean, day6, bts, saw everyone at kcon 2019, and superm earlier this year cause YAYA nct, exo, shinee . art.
- neokillua 5y
  you were at kcon 2019???? wtf that's insane and you saw SUPERM oh my god adopt me pls
  LUFFYBFF 5y
  yeaa i miss it a ton :') BAHAHA do not think i'm old enough to adopt anyone yet but gladly !!
  neokillua 5y
  so appreciated hahaha. i wish i listened to nct when 127 had their london neocity - the origin concert, i could've flown over maybe but ahhh hopefully soon maybe dream show and a wayv tour as well if we're being optimistic!
  LUFFYBFF 5y

- neokillua 5y
  goddd i remember thinking i would never ever become a kpop stan but then during lockdown, i fell down the nct black hole and i have been an nctzen ever since tough times T_T
  Removed 5y
  i listen to it from time to time, i mostly like stuff in languages i can understand.
  But i listen to japanese stuff like Takayan quite a bit.
  neokillua 5y
  oh yeaaa that's understandable tho the only kpop group i properly follow and listen to (mainly) is nct. they have a chinese subunit called wayv and i can understand nd speak mandarin so it's p good for me hehe
fqirymark 5y

RemStan 5y
I'm starting to dip my feet in! I love future funk, which took me to Japanese city pop, now I'm getting more curious about kpop. I loved Yukika's debut album. Might try to get into Red Velvet. :)
- neokillua 5y
  japanese city pop srsly hits different and yesss rv has one of the best discographies in kpop, would def recommend:)
hishinist 5y
hey <3 i don't really know many of the new groups i've been a stan since like 6th grade and kpop is kinda on and off for me but i've been really into ateez lately and i also like nct and khh
nekojiru 5y
been a kpop fan since 2013/2014 ... mostly a gg stan but i like nugu boygroups, too... ateez and pentagon are my faves... i'm also partial to nct bc they make fun music ^__^
annalillis 5y
hiii! some of my ult groups rn are day6, twice, txt and bts ^^
airunaa 5y
I'm not a stan but I do enjoy lots of their music and often listen to it mainly because my friends and my sisters asked me to give it a shot and always blast it when they can It's very catchy please--. I mainly listen to day6 , stray kids, bts , blackpink and txt
Kirimina 5y
I really enjoy VIXX, Day6, The Rose & Super Junior.
I feel as though The Rose, Day6 and even VIXX aren't as popular as they deserve to be. The Rose don't have many songs out, but all their songs (and covers) are amazing, their vocal line is just beautiful.

Day6, you can never go wrong there, all their songs are just amazing too.
