  1. Let's be honest, kpop idols, male or female, are selling a fantasy. Part of that "fantasy" is the fan service portion (of course), so that the young woman kpop is largely marketed towards, can keep their fantasy of "oppar loving them" just that. If you put them with a female dancer/idol it pops the imagination bubble. Hence, male/male fan service. It isn't all "real", but it'd be foolish to say that there aren't some "real" couples, even if it isn't with the partner they're doing it with on stage. On the flip side, female idols have to do their best to stay "single" in front of their male fans to keep their fantasy of being able to date them....and likewise there probably are some lesbian idols that have to tread carefully themselves. Real or not, it can be fun to speculate.
  2. I get it, they find it rather "heavy". I tried having my host mom listen to some once, she was not impressed (lol), and to each their own. That being said I hope if they want to branch out and experiment in the genre, their fans will at least give it a try .
  3. I'm wondering if by "awkward" they actually meant to insinuate they were so close it was making them/the others awkward and they wanted them to go out and have an excuse for a date to clear the air for the others a bit more so to speak. All that "fan service" . Me thinks the other members wanted their own time apart for a moment lol. Hope I made sense
  4. lol, I like both of them, I'm just saying that as far as comments in general I've seen around the internet, I like voices that stand out and Myunsoo and Dongwoo are both fav's of mine in the group because of their voices (lol). Sorry if it sounded attacking or belittling. They do seem to get a lot of haters who brush them off simply for being "nugu". They're hardly nobodies imo, they may not have the backing of a main company (which can hurt too as far as promotions go),but they're ones to watch for sure.
  5. He looks like one of those over eager students you see in Elementary school begging the teacher to pick them.
  6. This may be a bit OT from what's being discussed now...but, it seems from my time on the forum, and from simply hanging out on the internet a lot, that Infinite gets a lot of crap. Yet, counter to this the more "popular" bands, even with all their short comings, are heralded as new great starts and infinite is just kept in "nugu" status. Correct me if i'm wrong, but aren't you only as strong as your weakest link? If you had to pick a weak link in Infinite, then yes...I would pick Myungsoo and Dongwoo, their voices arent the strongest (dance skills, ect), but they blend well and they're improving. Now, in a seven person group, two "weaker" members isn't bad...especially when you stack them up against other groups with larger numbers. I"m not attempting to throw shade at EXO, or Suju (since i think that is where everyone will jump to), and let me assure that I do LIKE those groups,....but let's be realistic here..of 11 or 13+ members, they don't all have the best singing voices and such. They may blend okay, but give them solo stages and you can see who holds what skill set the best, and they all don't share singing. Back to the point though, Infinite may not all share the same vocal level yet by any means either, but knowing who to focus on, and only having seven members makes it easier to address vs 11 or more when you have things to address with more. Infinite to me is a lot like Shinee...they have so much friggin potential if only they are given proper focus (I still have issues with SM treating Shinee ((and Fx)) like the unwanted step children lol). I honestly feel this way about other groups too...that just because a big company isn't backing them they get short ended...just my thoughts on it.
  7. His low register is pretty sweet, but im okay with him going a bit higher too...so long as he never tries to get to changmin's register...no. And get in line, that mob of fans? I'd need to bring out high heels I think to get to the front XD, and that hair is damn sexy on him. It frames his face nicely (imo)
  8. There's something about unpolished voices that draws me to them. Voices that some people think are awful, i seem to love/like. Examples are: Heechul, Yunho, Donghae, and now L. They really stick out to me and are easy for me to identify so they pull me in XD. If that makes sense.
  9. lol, hello! I'm excited, but a bit sad since it means they'll be going into the army soon...and then i'm gonna be jyj dehydrated :/. And not to be a jerk (because i can talk about dbsk/tvxq/jyj until the sun goes down), but should we be getting so OT? haha
  10. lol, hit me up (pm me) some time, we exist. Haha, I like tvxq2, and jyj as they are and will be, but i love where they all stemmed from.
  11. Thank you so much to everyone who answered my questions. If there is anyone I forgot, I'm sorry T_T!! I appreciate the recommendations and will be listening to them! So far I think my bias(es) are shaping up to be: Dongwoo, L, and Sunggyu XD. Idk, they're very eye catching, and i kinda like L's voice (haha).
  12. omg i'm an idiot XD. Jesus help me, I'm gonna crawl into a hole of shame after this, but im ot5, 3, 2, whatever they are and will become in the future. I don't/cant ever hate the group that got me into kpop XD.
  13. ot5? I'm a bit confused...arent there seven? lol, sorry, my new status is showing in this fandom
  14. Okay, so i'm starting to get into infinite even though i promised myself not another group...and I have some questions: 1. what are some songs you'd recommend? I liked faster paced beats, i only heard/listened to "chaser" which I liked and then most recently "Last Romeo"..so things of that nature or ballads? 2. I'm still trying to figure them all out (the who's who of the group), but why is it said that L/Myungsoo is stupid? It's most likely a tumblr thing, but i see people throwing around "L" being stupid/is stupid and I'm a little curious as to what led to this conclusion I guess. I'm not trying to start anything, i'm just honestly curious about that. Also...who's considered the main vocal? Woohyun? Sungyu? (sp?). I'm sorry, i'm still trying to tell the difference between them/
  15. I'm excited now. I stopped watching dramas for a while because they were getting so repetitive it seemed, and this one may turn out that way too, but it has my interest at the very least. Which is more than most other dramas that have come out recently can say (lol)
  16. I missed a lot this week, lol. Ah well, it's a good end to my vacation to realize black haired Tao is back!
  17. I approve your choices Hyuk is adorable (and a slight troll) Hongbin is hot (very hot...it's a shallow reason, i admit this freely) and I find him funny My main go to bias is Neo...I say Leo and N together because...well... where's there is one...the other's attached too XD
  18. No it does make sense, and I hope you didn't find my comment biting or anything. It wasn't meant to be, sorry. Tone is kinda hard sometimes. What I think is just in jest can be taken/read differently. Your statement makes a lot of sense, and I get where you're coming from. A lot of things I think other (western) fans brush off isn't done so overseas, but on the other hand, a lot is also laughed off and brushed under the rug as well. I was abroad a few years ago, and it really all depends on the people you meet (haha), but certainly the older crowd take issue with the more "brazen" moves. I get what you mean about Puff though, and I can see her being teased about it (if it were ever confirmed). Still, she seems pretty tough (She's being put with Heechul after all lol), I think she can hold her own. If not, Heechul's a pretty (imo) great friend to have in your corner. We've seen that he doesn't really care how his words can taken, and if, IF things went South, I think he'd defend her. He's defended Hankyung and others in his group before, so it stands to reason he has a friends back I think. Again, sorry if I came off as mean/snide before. That wasn't my intent.
  19. Im sorry, but I'm pretty sure Puff knows (lol). That episode where Heechul, Puff, and Gunhee were all hanging out (happens frequently tbh) on the bus..reminded me more of a dating couple chillin' with their friend. Puff was the third wheel in that, but I don't think she cares. If she doesn't know I'll be shocked. Hopefully, if what you suspect ever does happen, Puff will clear the air by adding that she knew..unless you suspect Puff will get backlash for going along with it and not "outing" them or whatever...in which case I can't even try to understand the logic of netizens. As far as Heechul goes, I think he's loving his time messing around on WGM. He's what, 31 now? Who does he really have to impress anymore? He's done his service, his groups got a strong fan base, at some point he'll be expected to settle down...so it's (I think) pretty pragmatic of him to start getting people used to seeing him with his boyfriends/male company, so that if/when he does come out there wont be much to freak out about.
  20. Based on the previews I've seen...I'm actually starting to think it will be a blip on HC's radar. They may ask and it will be EXO's time to shed "tears' and lament not knowing how upset Kris was, but then they'll move on after each side being pretty PC and not really saying what they truly think/feel. Basically when people talk, but don't really say anything at all.
  21. Leo confuses me tbh. Admittedly though, my proverbial "gaydar" is crap. I haven't really seen his interactions around women to comment on body language with females vs males or anything, and he makes it harder for me on the grounds that he's so quiet. The only guy I see him interact with a lot is N, and he doesn't seem adverse, but nothing strikes me as "likes him more than friends". Then there was the kissing game, where he turned his head away and made a comment on it being wrong/disgusting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5tysn0Hc5w I think he's okay with fanservice, but he doesn't really ping me or make me question. I'd say asexual, maybe. At least for now until I see his interactions with male and female celebs and staff. Now Joon's reaction on the other hand...
  22. lol if's cool . I usually wait for things I feel like I can jump into, or for someone to say something/post something I feel equally about...if that makes sense?
  23. lol, i just kinda comment wherever fancy strikes me.
  24. lol that was me too for a while, then i got one XD, and now i'm here
  25. Yes~ very much so. I've actually been a vixx fan for a while, I just never bothered to seek out the thread before, and then I decided "what the hell".
