Nugu Nation

HI,

 

i didnt notice this thread until now. upps, my mistake.

Nugu = not-so-popular idol groups that dont have their own thread on OH ?

Correct ? Yes ?

 

I am all for it. When i started being a Kpop fan, all fans supported many idol groups at the same time. We were all fans of Kpop Idols and everyone at least liked/loved 10 groups at the same time! i am so annoyed with todays situation. It seems many fans have narrowed it down to only 2 or 3 groups they support. Thats soooo wrong !! Its a waste of Idol-Awesomeness-Potential !!

 

I am also annoyed that some popular Youtube MV reaction channels like KSpazzing do not make any reactions for Nugu Groups anymore. They did it in the past but not anymore. Its just the same 5 groups again and again. Boooooooooo....

 

I shall fight in this thread for Multi-Fandom Kpop Fans !!

welcome to the thread, spread the nugu love  :ohpressor:

 

Thank Youuuu !! :lol:

 

 

Let me simplify it for you

 

Basically this thread is for Nugus

 

Nugu = Who?

 

Literally a common reaction from most people when the said group is mentioned... Also if most koreans dont know about that group,they're probably considered Nugu

 

It doesnt matter if they have a thread or not in OH,we can disscuss them all here :smile:

 

So does that mean for example Your B.I.G. thread...

i post about B.I.G. in Your B.I.G thread AND in the nugu thread ?

Its both correct ?

 

Hmmmm... i was just about to understand. Now it gets confusing again. haha ! :derp:

Correct...

 

I did that a lot when i feel like nobody will read it in the main thread :lol:

 

Totally Understandable !

 

To celebrate Your endurance and long wait for another B.I.G fan i shall post THIS in nugu thread:

Hey guys and Tee

 

I was looking at the rainbow bridge website since WA ent merged with them and I saw nugus on their artist lists

this includes:

 

Jungmin from boyfriend (is this why he was chilling with sanchez?? hes still in boyfriend but I guess he signed with RB too?)

 

Jungmin from Boyfriend ? Didnt Boyfriend get some attention last year ? Even if they are not "popular", they should at least be "well-known". If he counts as a nugu, something is wrong with Kpop fans. Unless, Jungmin is leaving Boyfriend.... in that case i understand why he is downgraded.

 

Ahhh Idol World.... so cruel.

 

its because intl fans don't make them $$$$$

 

i believe most International fans use free downloads and free subbed videos. Yes, many of them buy albums, but only albums of their absolute favorite groups. (there is a maxium of albums you can buy a month). i dont think new rookie groups sell any singles or albums internationally. The bitter truth is, that not every international fan is ready to go to concert or to actually pay money for the groups.

 

Yes, i agree. international fans dont make $$$$ for Rookie Groups.

 

I assume a group has to grow really popular in order to make money internationally. (for example: Got7, BTS, Superjunior). Even Beast had problems when they came to my home country germany for a concert. They didnt sell much tickets and they were quite shocked about some fan behaviour (different country = different habits).

 

So its not easy.

i admire your dedication, i also admire the two member gifs you posted being my two fave members, excellent post i must say :ohpressor:

 

That means we have the same fave members. Lets try to revive the B.I.G. thread with pic/gif/vid. Maybe someone clicks on it by accident when its up in the list and likes it. *desperate, hoping*

 

 

I like Benji. :)

since we're on the topic of B.I.G., does anyone else think that Minpyo looks like Jungkook here except that he has a smaller nose?

 

Gook_Min_Pyo1.jpg

 

or maybe its just me  :imstupid:

anyways my fave member is Benji too  :ohpressor:

 

the hairstyle is the same as BTS Kookie. Also the black eyeliner thickness and makeup seems to match Kookie's. I am not sure about the face. You are right.. Kook's nose is adorable big, Minpyo's is smaller. Not sure, Minpyo's face seems smaller ? Hard to tell.

If anyone of You has the time ....

 

pls Like my "Join the Boys-in-Groove Thread" Promotion posted in "B.I.G. thread". It looks less pathetic and more convincing if my posts have at least a 2 - 3 likes. It gives the illusion that some people actually visit it. Haha.

 

 

hay I have 20/20 vision!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this thread here.

 

There is actually some kind of talk between us. Back and forth. This is what i am looking for.

in other group threads its mostly just updates, updates, updates.... pics, vids, social media, news. Thats it.

 

I am having a hard time to get into a good talk that last more than 2 posts with anyone else. Thats a bit sad.

I like Are You Ready a little more than Between Night & Music.

 

Me too. I also like the debut song but thats mostly bc they use the german words "Guten Tag" in the chorus. haha.

 

 

As for dance practices, i am amazed by the dances of so many idol songs. Its actually the same patterns repeating themselves, but they put them together in new combinations for every song. Its hard for me to pick one out, because almost all of them are fun to dance. The dances of the popular groups and also the dances of the nugu groups.

 

It also depends on your mood. :lol:  (which dance you should pick)

but im sure we can agree that hello is an awful piece of butt crap and it one of the worst songs released of all time while still being wonderfully hilarious

 

 

No, i love Hello even if its a bit too patriotic. i also like the sound. But yeah.. i know most Kpop fans dont like it. :unsure:

 

My german friend is really upset on them because of that

 

i know other german fans who also like the song because of "Guten Tag". Actually, the overall response of german kpop fans was quite positive when it comes to "Hello". At least thats what i experienced.

Someone FINALLY uploaded M.Joon's "M8".

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BqT3rPZD0U

 

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

 

Ohh that sounds good.

Who is M.Joon ? :)  

 

Relevant enough to not get cut performances on music shows

 

I think Insoo is their most relevant member

 

Insoo is my favorite member anyway.

 

I include them in my nugu battles, I wouldn't say they are that nugu but rather they are borderline here since even though they have a decent fandom/popularity not that many people here stan/follow/talk about/know them well. So if you wanna talk about them here  I say go for it, unless of course someone else disagrees.

 

Oh... thats kinda sad. They are actually quite good. The songs are easy on the ear and fun to listen to. It doesnt seem like they lack anything... its just that fans dont know them very well. Its probably the old "no own reality show / tv show / no guest on Variety Shows" thing that holds them back. Especially international fans only become die-hard fans if they get enough clips/eng sub episodes of a group.

 

In the beginning, when MyName debuted, they were on MTV Diary and quite popular. But then they went to Japan and fans forget about them. Even International fans. Oh well.

Thank You. i take a look.

 

tbh it's not that at all, I mean when Exo first debuted they had none of that but that didn't stop them from growing a large rabid fandom :S some people just use those things as an excuse as to why they don't stan a group that isn't popular..

 

basically unless a group is from a big company or they're already popular most people won't even give them a second glance no matter how good their songs are, no matter how talented they are etc. and well, you can see the problem with the 'already popular' requirement to gain fans because you need to gain fans to be popular, bit of a conundrum. Basically what's left is a lucky breakthrough. That's why we have groups like Exid and Girl's Day, they had a lucky breakthrough, and then once they started to get popular all of a sudden tonnes of people who never even gave them a second glance before started stanning them and even loving the stuff they put out beforehand, only once they came popular people acknowledged them and their songs. It's really annoying tbh, this mentality of needing a group to be popular to stan them is one of the things I dislike most about kpop.

 

Yes, true. a sad truth. :unsure:

so I am gonna go through with a battle this time rather than just talk about it, this time it will be a suit battle. Basically a bunch of live performance videos where the group wears suits.

 

So if you want your fave included please post a link of a suitable performance and I shall include them, if not then I will just pick the groups I can think of off the top of my head.

 

If I get a lot then I'll break it into parts and do them relatively close to each other.

 

Ahh its so hard to find the old videos when they danced with suits.

 

I got this one.... but its only focus on my bias from Ze:A. he dances in a suit. The other members wear suits too. Sorry, i cannot find the live video that shows them all. Only this fan focus. *shrugs* i think its difficult for us to find the vids for You. sorry.

BUT THEIR JAPANESE STUFF IS ALL THEY HAVE

 

Yes, right after their debut, they went to Japan and promoted there. I feel like they spent a lot more time promoting in Japan than they promoted in South Korea. When they released their new songs in Korea i was worried that no one remembered MyName at all. But fans did remember them.

LOL they do too, i counted 46 japanese songs yet only 23 korean ones not including intros / outros / interludes / instrumentals

they gone die if they get dropped

 

After 1-2 debut songs they got the offer from Japan and went there. Then, No appearance in South Korea for a loooong time. All the variety shows or clips were in Japanese. I felt like Japan snatched a whole Kpop group and caged them in their basement.

 

Well, if they get dropped... maybe we see them more often on Korean TV.

you know what would be nice? if we had our own nugu of the week thing where every week we dedicate to one of the many underappreciated groups and work together to promo them through making appreciation threads and posting in them. I think if we did that then at least more people would be curious as to who they are and why we are posting about them, maybe even gain some fans, but at the minimum at least more people would know who they are now  :ohpressor:

 

the idea sounds nice in theory. However, the majority of fans are not interested bc they only want the most popular groups and they only want 1-2 groups and not more (which is the biggest pain for me! i love how in the past Kpop fans supported many groups) and also they want to have lots of vids and updates and kshows with eng subs and a big company behind it.

 

The nugus cannot live up to that. My personal opinion is, This Nugu Cave is a place for people who appreciate the hard work of not so-popular groups. The Nugu Cave is probably the Best we can do. Its even PINNED. So if people dont visit here, then i dont know what else we can do. Even Posting in the B.I.G. thread and pushing it up every once in a while didnt help one bit. :unsure:

 

Oh well, maybe its worth a try. At least we can try.

I never like to think that there is a limit to the 'best we can do', we can always do more, and posting in this thread is just the tip of the iceberg of what we can do.

The thing is non fans will check new threads about other groups but they won't check out artist threads if they're not a fan. That's why bumping up the BIG thread isn't gaining any new posters.

 

At the very least posting about a nugu will let people know they exist, and that is a good stepping stone for more people to become fans :3

 

 

Ahhhhh.... Okay. i understand.

Its worth a try. :)
