She is did not promote with the group during debut promotions because of scandal. To summarize the scandal, basically a female came out online saying that she used to date Seo Ji Soo, so she was accusing her of being a bisexual, and that Jisoo took pictures of her having sex and spread them around to their friends and the girls colleagues causing her to get fired from her job for being a lesbian. She also accused Seo Ji Soo of being sexually abusive, not only to her but to other females as well. The girl was trying to say that Seo Ji Soo should not be debuting as a kpop idol because she is not a good example and it is not safe for her to be living with seven other females in a dorm.

Article: '33 half size' IU's perfect 'skinny jean fit'

Source: Joy News 24 via Nate

1. [+1,365, -55] Being a size 33 is not something to be proud of, women

2. [+1,172, -48] Since when was a size 33 perfect? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+966, -149] Her visuals were just never meant for leading dramas... and it was a historical drama to boot, no wonder it failed

4. [+91, -6] But for an adult woman to be size 33 just means she has a child's body

5. [+84, -10] No hips, no waist, no volume.... just a cute face on a choding body

>>72370469
I think that the appeal of kpop and the associated banter is more akin to the banter that surrounds sports and sports teams. You just replace banter about the teams and their scores/strength as a team/standings in the league with groups and their looks/talent/sales. People ride or die their team and a lot of the fun comes from the culture surrounding certain groups and the thread gimmicks.

KPG is a shitfest but it's our shitfest

>>72370207

i think replying to him is not wise but i would make the comparison to several threads in /vg/. that's where this comes from mostly
there is, i imagine, at once nothing and and an endless list of things to say about overwatch. it all makes very little sense from the outside

i didn't even knew there would be a size 33
the smaller i usually see is size 44 (us size 0-2)

>>72370632
there's also scandals
p fun to watch pop celebrities get torn to shreds and have their careers trashed (unless it's your waifu, then you want to die)

Korean size 33 is literally child size. It's smaller than the smallest adult woman.

so her waist is like less than 20 inches wow

it's not racism, i'm in my early 20's & in college & honestly from what i'm gathering there's lots of teenagers in korean pop. & they do look, dress & sometimes act like children. That last sentence may be inaccurate, because admittadely I don't know anything about kpop, but only know the gifs I've seen posted on here & photos. & just from my experience the korean girls i've known in real life don't act like how you guy's posts portray them as.

>>72370674
weird insecurity from you btw. Really embarrassing.

>>72370691
I can see that, really helping me understand this desu man. I can understand from korean culture how they can trash your career when they don't like you or whatever.

>>72370728
in some of the gifs they do act very very immature & underage to me. Like I said i'm no expert & i'm not denying there are 20 + year olds, but I do also know that there ARE teenagers in this & yes I do get a kind of feel they look & act far younger than they should

I think the sales shitting is stupid and I generally just ignore it, but I'm more just drawing parallels. I think the 2 things come from very similar places

>>72370632
there's actually a fair bit of discussion about the music, but because of the way the korean music industry works, it's mostly focused on the music that's currently being promoted (it is pop music after all, it's about what's current)

Put simply for someone who doesn't know or care too deeply about the specifics, Korean music industry is much more integrated with the general entertainment industry, and unlike in western pop, groups don't really tour as much as they promote on the multitude of music and variety shows in korea. There's also the livestreams/additional content on social media, as well as fanphotos from fanmeets (another regular occurence) and performances, etc.

So the music discussion here isnt just focused on the music itself, it's also focused on all the surrounding media. When a new kpop single comes out, the discussion isn't just about the song, it's about the music video, the concept (a catchall term that basically describes the aesthetic and atmopshere of the song) and whether it suits the artist, whether its resonating with people, and if they're charting well.

So while it looks like we're just discussing waifus all the time (because we are), that's just part of engaging in the kpop industry, which isn't just music and music videos, but also all the shit surrounding that. The kpop industry is built around the idea that a song isn't just a song, but the latest out ing of artist who have their own brand value, groups that have their own brand value, and the opportunity to generate new fans on music shows and social media.

It's really different to normal music discussion, and the business side of kpop is really fascinating and my description of it is quite poor, so if you want a tl;dr I think >>72370674 says it best

>>72370854
But if american pop artists started doing less touring & more fan meets would there be any more interest in that? Like i really don't understand this part.

Who gives a fuck about charts & if the music resonates with people? shouldn't it just matter whether you like the music or not? Like why would so many people give a fuck about fanmeets & whatever.

just to kind of quickly expand on this, the korean music industry is also kind of interesting because there's a clear path into the industry.

Agencies/Labels acquire young talent, take over their training, and eventually debut them or sell off/void their contracts if they go unused. Rookie groups are teased ahead of times, so even before they release a song they're teasing their first release and the group itself.

This is really radically different to the idea of music as an outpouring of creativity, because nearly everything about the way the korean music industry is structured, and how it connects to television in korea, makes it into a pure product. I think people here are keenly aware of that and it's just something that people just accept it.

>>72371042
I don't think people here let people decide if they enjoy the music or not. People enjoy the music and groups they enjoy, but they are rooting for their favourite group to succeed and do well. However, the discussion is more focused on the success of the group because, as mentioned above and in my previous posts, kpop releases are different to a traditional album release.

Instead of thinking about the song as just as a song, think about it more like a movie or something. When people discuss a movie they don't just discuss how well the movie works as a movie, they discuss the characters they liked, the scenes they liked, etc etc.

When a new kpop song comes out, every member of the group has a new look. The line distribution and focus on them in the choreo MV might shift release to release. because each member has their own identity/personality, different concepts might resonate more strongly with different members and give them a chance to shine in a way they might not have previously.

When you get invested into a group you're kinda along for the ride with them, and with each new release it's not just about the song, it's about the ever ongoing narrative of the group.

>>72371089
there is nothing you can say that's going to do the job here. someone doesn't like something and that counts as it being incomprehensible to them. the more they learn the more their feelings about it are confirmed. there's no point

>>72371202
first point I understand a little bit. but the second point just seems like basic celebrity worship over music videos. Which is fine I guess we have that in america, but like why is it so extreme with KPOP fans over celebrity worship? LIke there are american fans worshiping rihanna & it's not going to be posted on /mu/ thats essentially what this is.

>>72371230
I guess, but why would anyone? It certainly doesn't seem like the funnest thing in the world to do?

iu and tay were both the nations' little sisters, both had a ton of scandals, both play guitar, both write their own stuff, both top charts without challenge
