    in every generation there are those who otlive some of next generations acts its not a surprising thing and there are many of 3rd generation acts that will outlive some 4th generation 

     

    just because couple of groups disbanded doesnt mean anything? I think best music came from 3rd generation imo 

    In KPop, someone outliving his or her generation is unknown. Occasionally such people have one hit much later after their peak, but IU is the first in the history of Korean Pop who gets to outlive her generation significantly and still regularly beats acts from 3rd and now 4th generations.

  2. Granted, there is one last remaining member of 2nd Generation which is still relevant today.

     

    However, the last remaining member of the 2nd Gen already outlived IZOne, Gfriend and Lovelyz, and probably many more.

     

    The 1,340 years old singer has outlived quite a lot of acts, but it is likely that she might even outlive the 4th Generation of Kpop, but let's not push ahead of that.

     

    How do you think about the 2nd Generation outliving the 3rd Generation? Do you feel sad, angry or resigned about it?

     

    It is nothing short of irony that the singer, when younger  , had menaced the 2nd Generation like hell and looks like she will also outlive the 3rd Generation. If that is not absurd I don't know what is.

    More backhanded insults :)

    I am an international fan and have no problem understanding the supremacy of IU in S.Korea. She has already done all the 'stealing' so SOKOR will be glad to hand over the goods to her.

    It is Korean awards given by Koreans to their singers, why should i-fans matter?

    BTW what is 'Swedish tomboy' - BbiBbi?

    As to Twice post you had made in 2017, here enjoy this fan-content 

     

    Pippi(pronounced Bbibbi in Korean) Longstockings was a famous Swedish show about a girl who acted like a tomboy which aired in I think late 1960s. It made its way to Korea in I think early 1980s and was well known.

     

    It enjoyed some revival after someone said the character of Lisbeth Salander, the heroine of the late Stieg Larson's mystery books which were also popular in Korea, was modeled after Pippi, imaging how she would end up if she grows up in the modern world. The Salander character also influenced Lee Jian in My Mister, so someone must have told Lee Jieun who Pippi was although the Senior Singer was too young to know the show itself.

    Thank god, most of them went nowhere after signing with these companies.

     

    The only reason why they even did in the first place was to promote the companies not the artist. Solo artist don't bring enough to justify making a whole survival show, groups in the other hand...

    Since 2007 there has been exactly one, uno, ein soloist who was a net positive to a company, Lee Jieun. Chungha did well at first but faded, and Ennik remains to be seen, but only Lee Jieun was entirely profitable (thought that eventually made her a company owner herself).

     

    (Trot singers like Lim Youngwoong are another story but not relevant here.)

    They weren’t looking for girl group or boy group members tho. They just signed those who had talent and whom they thought fit their agency and most of them are now solo singers

    That is because they could not find anyone who would become members of a group after the first one. What did Bernard Park do after being selected? I don't remember a hit from him.

  6. Confucianism ruled Korea for a long time.

     

    As a result, the concept of filial duty , respecting the elders and all that are still somewhat ingrained in Korean culture, although not as high as before.

     

    Because of such concept, a parent can abandon a child but can show up at a fly to claim a portion of the child's property, like the mother of Goo Hara.

     

    KPop also faced the same question - the question about how treat their Senior Singers was a quandary for many years.

    Many Senior Singers had no chance to contribute to the advance of Kpop to the rest of the world, so they were largely sidelined.

     

    However, there was one, just one, Senior Singer who was able but chose not to contribute to Kpop's Worldwide Expansion but nevertheess the singers had to respect her on the accord that she was the Senior Singer.

     

    After many years of criticism she released her one Kpop song, and lo and behold, because she did contribute on,e, uno, una, ichi, ein KPop song,s she was considered to have contributed something to Kpop.

     

    I know it is unfair, but that is how the Korean culture works. One contribution but one is considered the same as many, on the accord that she is Senior.

     

    There are newer acts of KPop every year. How long they will have to pay Filial Duty to the Senior Singer who still released her new song in Korean is a question I have asked for many years but still not answered.

    Ok, thanks for the correction. Anyway, I need her to take more risks!

    She has grown too big to take risks. Her earlier b-sides had many experimental songs, but now she is watched around by the world as the chief adversary and the one person who could check BTS in Korea.

    But it appears she will try something different when she becomes 30 in Korean age next year. (Koreans count age from Jan 1, regardless of birthdays, so someone born in , say, Dec 29, 2000, becomes 23 on Jan 01, 2022, because the person lived through 23 calendar years. Which is why KPop singers, especially female, listen to IU's song 23 every Jan 1 when they reach that age.)

    It's an "atrocity" for many, but it is still digestible enough for the masses. 

     

    Bbibbi was composed by Son Myung-gab according to Wikipedia? 

     

    Son Myung-gab was one of the recording engineers.

     

    BBiBBi was indeed composed by Mr. Lee Jonghoon, who also composed Strawberry Moon based upon a tune IU had hummed while filming a movie.

    Both songs were arranged by a Lee Chae-kyu.

    imagine comparing IU to Ed sheeran. Yes she does release bad song, but nothing comes close to that guy's musical atrocity please lol

    And both of them are chief rivals of BTS.

    I fear she's getting the Ed Sheeran treatment. It's time for her to work again with Bbibbi's producer. 

    She did

     

    Composed by IU and Lee Jonghoon (who produced Missing Child and BBIBBi and quite a few others).

  11. aespa is about to bolt into world recognition.

     

    It is the first 4th generation act to do so in earnest (depends upon how you classify txt, enhypen, etc but ), and its heyday is very close.

     

    However, it will have to deal with a Senior Singer who comes  back to discuss who should dominate KPop for the newer generation.

     

    Lee Jieun will release her song next week, and it will be strong enough to challenge aespa next Friday.

    ate t

    Will the 2nd Generation's last survivor once again frustrate the 4th Generation,

     

    or will the 4th Generation finally overcome the ghost of 2nd Generation?

     

    A lot of things are in stake  2 weeks from now.

  12. Every Kpop Act

    Is Useful to some degree

    An act

    like BTS

    is immensely useful

    An act

    from a smaller compay

    is limited in their use

    However

    Every act has its usefulness

    Although

    A certain act

    has an extremely

    infinitesimal

    amount of usefuness

    Propelling KPop for world domination.

     

    It is amazing KPop's Seniority is inversely related to its usefulness.
