JYP said she's the embodiment of what it means to be a koop star and he hasn't met anyone who fits the description as much as she does and he's worked in the industry for YEARS and mind u wonyoung was 18/19 at the time when she worked with him! wonyoung literally goes viral for BREATHING like seriously don't even joke... she's extremely hardworking, talented, and passionate about her work and her love for her fans is something

    I have to agree with the last opinion because even if a song’s achievements don’t determine its quality, it’s understandable to sometimes judge songs by how well they’re doing. If a song is very popular there has to be a reason as to why it’s resonating with people more compared to other songs.

      The number of streams make sense if they come from a "not so popular" artist. For example a lot of BTS's songs have over 100, 200 and 500 million streams on Spotify and RUclips, but if some of them were released by another group with a smaller fanbase than BTS's, they wouldn't have that many streams, and this comes from an Army herself. Momoland on the other hand released Bboom Bboom in 2018, and since then the MV has got over 600M views on RUclips. Unlike BTS, Momoland didn't have a large fanbase to get that many views on their songs, which means that the song was interesting and catchy enough for the public to stream it that much.

    For everyone fighting over Karina, Winter, Wonyoung and Yujin
    As someone who has followed K-pop since 2014 here’s my take. Also, there's one thing to keep in mind, the growth of international stans and their emerging fandom groups have changed a lot of definitions and the way people went viral. The “It Girls” 15-20 years back vs now have garnered the title differently as generation appropriate but the core features were the same, Being pretty, everyone wanting to be them, everyone talking about them, their actions going viral and having a lot (A LOT) of brand deals.
    I think personally all 4 of them are very well known. For K-pop stans ( mostly International and even domestic ) Karina and Winter are the most relevant. Whereas for the Korean masses who may not be into K-pop as much, Wonyoung and Yunjin are more of a household name since Iz*one days but even more so after their re-debut in IVE. Though Karina and Winter are well known as well, the claim is mostly based on how the general public is head over heels for Yujin. Now again, just because one name is popular, doesn't mean the other names are irrelevant. Let’s say 80/100 people may recognise Winter, 90/100 people may recognise Karina but somehow Jang Wonyoung and nowadays even Ahn Yujin are such that even >95/100 may recognise them. This is purely in terms of South Korea. A few of my Male SK friends tell me about how their mothers and grandmothers dream of having a Daughter-in-law like Ahn Yujin, which implies that even the elderly are talking about her.
    It’s like the Jennie vs Irene effect. Ultimately both are very well known but before COVID or 2019, Jennie had a better footing internationally ( although very relevant domestically as well ) whereas Irene was a domestically celebrated person. After Irene’s ‘behaviour scandal’ ( I don’t think standing for your group is bad ), Irene lost that support and the void was replaced by Jennie & Jisoo domestically and the then-emerging Lisa Internationally. Jennie too had her own set of “scandals” ( the lazy dancing and the Kai Dating/G-dragon/Taehyung rumours; personally I don't know why the latter 3 are even considered as scandals) which did make her infamous amongst the K-pop stans but the general public still loved her. Regardless slowly but surely the shift from Jennie to Jisoo could've been observed during the 2020s-2023s but Jennie has something about her, that people are always talking about her. Similar were Lee Hyori, Bae Suzy, BoA, Yoona and IU. Nayeon of Twice is also very well known and some people may like to place her here as well.
    Some other idols with the ‘It Girl’ potential who weren't able to live up to it, are LSFM Chaewon, ITZY Ryujin and Yeji, NewJeans Minji and Haerin are interchangeable, KEP1ER Xiaoting, NMIXX Sullyoon, Miyeon (G)I-DLE to name a few. However despite being very relevant, they still fall behind the former 4 I've mentioned.
    It’s a hunger games of popularity, and what makes a person one day can break them the very next day ( Jennie and Irene are good examples of this )

    • @Saevrnirs
      @Saevrnirs 5 дней назад +2

      Wonyoung is literally the most popular and impactful 4th gen Female idol. She's a trendsetter who has made multiple outfits sell out in both South Korea and China. Wonyoung's face is absolutely everywhere in streets and even Sokors themselves call her "It girl" (you can see it from Kmedia and Koreans tiktoks themselves). Wony has the most brand deals among any 4th gen idol and goes viral for absolutely anything she does. While Karina and Winter are only relevant during Aespa's comebacks despite having promotions, etc it makes NO NOISE at all. While whatever Wonyoung does, it goes viral and is very likely to start a trend in South Korea (and China) like for example her little dance, Inisfree add, the concert turn,etc. She also keeps topping popularity charts and polls.
      It's not even debatable anymore. Wonyoung is THE 4th gen It girl because that's a title that's chosen by Koreans themselves. They're the one who claimed her that and their actions and admiration towards her show it it's not a debate. You can't "disagree" since they labeled her that and actually act like it.

    my unpopular opinion - NJ 2023 was a fluke and will not be reached again. NJ music in 2024 is so bland and getting repetitive, and released just for CF purposes. NJ is now just a means to make money for HYBE, with no real musical attributes, it is just commercialized.

      I personally don’t find their new songs bland at all, i actually love how they keep on experimenting with new sounds like they did for Supernatural, but then again, music taste is subjective so…
      As far as their music being too commercial i can kind of agree because their partnership with cocacola is always so in your face it can get annoying.
      They might not replicate their previous songs’ success, but i honestly don’t really care as long as i keep on enjoying their music.

    Not to mention how Yujin has a better reputation than Wonyoung in Korea too. They are both just as popular, but Yujin doesn't get a portion a portion of the hate WY -sadly- receives. She is more widely beloved.
    A lot of stans also seems to forget how Yujin was the most popular korean trainee at the beginning of produce48, and remained #2 for 5 weeks! Mind you she only had a few CFs under her belt at the time. I feel like Yujin will outlast most girls currently in the industry, I can see her becoming someone like Lee Hyori.

    The thing about YG and Sheesh is that YG is testing KPOP Stans and the general public. He's trying to see how lazy he can be and still succeed. Because the recycling of concepts is not just "YG's thing," it's lazy. And so many KPOP Stans fell for it. It's fine to have the same concept, but at least have minor differences, it's a different group after all. Stop just accepted that these different groups can be the exact same because it's YG. Expect more from companies and groups, especially if you're going to support them.

    To be an IT girl, you need validation from magazines as well as critics, not only the given title by 14-year old fans. The only two idols in the history that got that title from high-profiled magazines were Lee Hyori and Jennie Kim. No one else. That title started to being implied to everyone since Jennie got it in 2018 as if it is that easy. People haven't paid attention before and that's why it wasn't popularised by Lee Hyori. IT girl is not that big of a deal so I don't understand why stans try so hard to implement it in idol's name - probably because for the past two years brand deals and popularity have become more important than music.

Suzy's title was given by fans who started making an IT girl for every gen, but officially there is no given such title to a 2nd, 4th and most obvious 5th gen.

    My two cents. Itzy, NMIXX and now Babymonster are the only actual groups super mega poplular that sing and dance hard since day one. I am sure there are more but let's put things on place you can not compare a group that is not active anymore to actual standards, they need to be compared to their peers in their right time frame.
    Gfriend started the trend of harder dances for girls. They excelled in their synchronization, spacial awareness and memory skills (something you can still notice in Viviz shorts with the rest of Gfriend) while singing live at least half of the time.
    It took IVE like two years to more or less reach the level to actually sing in a year ends show; aespa hardly sing live even if they can; nmixx is an exception; do I need to point Coachella?, ITZY strugles from time to time with the singing portion and Lia is hated for not being such a good dancer while being their vocal backbone, Hybe gg have 2 minutes wispered songs and most of the time is playback.
    Then we have the 4 references: Twice has the same kind of femenine choreographies as Gfriend but they are more soft, Red Velvet choreos have no point of comparison and BP that is more swag that anything they are the references, maybe ITZY but not nmixx and even the new group of SuMu that were buildt on the legacy Gfriend and the 3rd gen showed that could be attained.

    1. I agree that it is fine for a company to have their own style of music/concept for their groups but I think the main problem people have is the fact that they don’t try to re innovate the style and put a different spin on it.
    For example, Everglow does a very great job at doing girl crush concepts that is a bit more creative and not the exact same cookie cutter girl crush concepts for each comeback. Some of these YGE groups songs are literal rejects from previous YGE group’s.
    2. I don’t think it’s that serious for a group to not have an english speaker. When western artists promote in non English speaking countries such as Korea (like Billie Eillish recently did) nobody expected or demanded that she should have learned Korean beforehand if she wanted to promote and target Korea.
    It would be very convenient for international fans and the idols themselves if they did speak English but it shouldn’t be mandatory.
    3. I agree that overall G Friend dance line and choreography isn’t all that especially compared to todays girl group choreography but BACK THEN when G Friend was popping their choreography was indeed more on the difficult and impressive side for a girl group at the time.

    The thing with YGE is that it's not just the same vibe/concept. It's like copy/paste everything. They even turned their new group member into a Lisa lookalike. And don't get me started on the "We don't do comebacks often because we prefer quality over quantity" .. YGE has contributed nothing to K-Pop factually , just hyped up groups for kids. Zero artistic contribution to the scene (apart from AKMU who outside Korea are practically unknown) , zero efforts to promote K-Pop as a whole or individual artists both domestically or internationally besides their own (often putting their hand at defaming other groups/artists to uplift their own ) and this is the reason , to me , "Gods DDU DU DDU DU" was a chefs kiss YGE diss masked as a "tribute". Also it's obvious YGE is just a laundromat for Chinese and Korean "Businessmen" for questionable earnings. Unless you are 12 or mentally chalenged everything mentioned above is as clear as a summer sky...
    Gfriend is a prime example of coordination and proffesionalism. In their Gen they had no rival and even now can be considered in the top GG's for dancing/choreo. SinB is still one of the top dancers active in the industry so bringing forth discussions that were made early-mid 4th Gen about GG dance prowess is simply stupid. We all know 4th Gen stepped the game up when it comes to choreo , dancing ability and dancing performance. LOONA and Itzy almost instantly made it in the conversation for Top GGs when it comes to dancing. I really don't get where you saw people in 2024 saying Gfriend is the absolute Top...
    The problem with your kids "IT Girls" is that it's mostly visuals/popularity. Same thing happened when the 10yo flooded K-Pop back in Corona days and decided Jennie was the IT girl for 3rd Gen. Lee Hyori and Suzy should be standing at a corner laughing with todays criteria and standards... Pretty but sub par artistically compared to their peers getting praise and hype is plain stupid..
    As far as views and streams goes. It has been recorded and proven that streams and views can be bought and manipulated , it has also shown that it's the best marketing strategy to lure GP and casuals into a song/M/V by forcefeeding it to you through the algorythm via recomendations or autoplay. Certain fanbases set up stream farms (they were too dumb to post it on the internet to flex how stupid they are) and JYPE himself exposed the Korean streaming services for manipulation of streams and being asked by people why doesn't he buy streams for his groups (after that JYPE groups get maybe half or less of the wins they should've gotten in weekly shows because they tank in streaming scores , but it's just a coincidence right..?)
    You post Corona kid fans need a history lesson on K-Pop because you flood the internet with videos talking nonsense just because you can.
    These were MY unpopular opinions. Deal with them and if you are brave enough I'll gladly debate you on the points made but make sure you bring receipts 🙂

      As for YG:
      Saying they turned Chiquita into a Lisa lookalike just cause she dyed her hair blonde is nonsensical.
      I also never claimed yg is an example of a good company and i never even mentioned anything about their idols’ artistry and creative freedom, i just wanted to point out how they have a specific vibe and not everyone is gonna enjoy that, so in that case you should just move on if it doesn’t resonate with you.
      As for it girls:
      Being an it girl has never been about talent and more so with the impact you have in a certain field, for example Wonyoung (who by the way IS talented) is considered an it girl because what she wears gets sold out, her silly little dances she makes just for fun go viral among fans and idols, the things she says become popular phrases, her name alone is recognized by everyone, her face is all over Korea and whatever brand she’s involved in grows exponentially. That’s what past it girls did and that’s what Wonyoung is doing now. Of course going viral on twitter doesn’t make you an it girl.
      As for streaming:
      I’m well aware of how streams can be inflated and things like that but what you should focus on is korean charts which are general public driven and any sort of mass streaming might move a song up for a while but it will instantly freefall immediately after.
      Korean charts are actually extremely hard to manipulate because they are based on hourly listeners, not to mention it’s easy seeing if a song’s performance on the charts actually reflects its real popularity and if something is popular people will naturally be more inclined to check it out, that’s how it works.
      Last but not least, i’ve been into kpop since 2017 and i’m no “post corona kid” as you like to call them.

      YG is not part of the Big 3 for no reason. Their a artists before like Bigbang, 2ne1, Psy, and now Blackpink had very significant contribution to spreading Kpop. The first kpop song to top a global music chart, first kpop album to break in US billboard 200, first kpop group to win MTV award, first kpop girl group to do a world tour etc.. all from YG. And as OP has pointed out, YG has their own branding when it comes to their artists, hence, the YG DNA. However, if you explore other artists and releases from the company, you would find diverse sound too like AKMU and Winner. Lastly, its just wrong to accuse the company of questionable earnings without factual evidence. Like seriously, YGE is ISO certified.

      As for artistry i agree that yg should give their artists more freedom, but as far as the concept and the music is concerned, complaining is pointless at this point. Yes they are getting paid to make music, just like actors are payed to act in movies, but if you don’t like a certain movie genre it doesn’t make sense to keep on watching those kinda movies just to complain, same thing with yg.
      They’re nowhere near a good company but it would be so easy to just go and listen to something you like instead of yg artists.

    It is difficult for koreans to speak English because English is totally different language system from korean. And it is insanely difficult for koreans to understand English culture. When i started to learn English, i was shocked that there is no honorific in English and how can i show my respect to seniors. In English you call your teacher, parents, seniors and dog the same word ''you'. Honestly i thought it was very rude language. So speaking English fluently has same meaning for koreans to be adapted to a totally different culture. I cannot bow when i speak English and it makes me really awkward. Are you going to still love your kpop idols when they lose shyness, being introvert, being submissive to seniors and companies and they turn into be strong, bold, independent, much confident just like western celebrities?
    So why you force kpop artists to speak the Anglo-Saxon language while they are not Anglo-Saxon. The AI will be great help for translation and interpretation.

      I think personally all 3 of them are very well known. For K-pop stans ( mostly International and even domestic ) Karina and Winter are the most relevant. Whereas for the Korean masses who may not be into K-pop as much, Wonyoung and Yunjin are more of a household name since Iz*one days but even more so after their re-debut in IVE. Karina and Winter are well known as well but it's mostly based on how the general public is Head over heels for Yujin. Now again just because one name is popular doesn't mean the other names are irrelevant. Let’s say 80/100 people may recognise Winter, 90/100 people may recognise Karina but somehow Jang Wonyoung and nowadays even Ahn Yujin are such that even >95/100 may recognise them. This is purely in terms of South Korea. A few of my Male SK friends tell me about how their mothers and grandmothers dream to have a Daughter In Law like Ahn Yujin, etc.
      It’s like Jennie vs Irene effect. Ultimately both are very well known but before COVID or 2019s Jennie had a better footing internationally ( although very relevant domestically as well ) whereas Irene was domestically celebrated person. After Irene’s ‘behaviour scandal’ ( I don’t think standing for your group is bad ) Irene lost that support and the void was replaced by Jennie Jisoo domestically and the then emerging Lisa Internationally

They were the reason challenges like 2x dance, rollercoaster dance (standing all behind each other in a line and dancing), blindfold dance were created. I don't think i have ever seen anyone claim gfriend is better than girl groups now? Especially not individually. Unfortunately gfriend isnt very relevant now, because of their disbandment in 2021.
