The Unpopular Opinions Thread (Read OP)

that obligatory queerbait-y part in recent boy group choreography.... when one guy caresses the other guy's face out of nowhere... or where he randomly grabs him by the neck and dives in for some reason.... and it doesn't even tell a story or contribute to the dance itself....

it really ain't it, man

calling idols with stage names by their birth names is hella cringe

if you do that, do know that I'm already judging you lmao

i just feel like it's too personal, as if you were a friend of theirs instead of just a celebrity you look up to, when you call them by their real names

i hate the iconic "i'm original visual" line so much lmao it doesn't make sense at all in English, and it sounds ridiculous if you're not a kpop fan lol it just sounds stupid

also, the original visual title goes to yoona/kibum(suju) so sit down, irene lmao

(just kidding, i blame the lyricist, not her)

this is gonna be a controversial opinion but i hope idols taking hiatuses from their groups "due to anxiety symptoms" are actually legit and south korea's wake up call to take better care of their celebrities

because with all the hiatuses popping up right now, I'm kind of feeling like it's become just a trend to bring some sympathy/attention to the group

 

(kind of like that small period of time in kpop when k-pop idols wore eyepatches as a fashion statement.... er, i mean, "because of eye infections" 🙄 lmao)

im gonna get dragged so hard for this but whatever lmao the nct dream members are legal now anyway

but their debut concept made me super uncomfortable

16-year old boys dressed up in kindergarten-style uniforms in tiny-ass shorts? nah...

there were even shots of them in the dark with a flashlight shining on them, and then them tying up that adult man, and then sitting, bouncing on those rubber balls

it just wasn't it for me, you guys LMAO i avoided them during debut because of this mv, and i know I wasn't the only one who felt sooooo uncomfortable

i was so confused what their target audience was back then, because i didn't think little kids would find them cool, and neither would the average adult

im glad i still gave them a chance afterwards, since MFAL was still cute and youthful without having to infantilize them so much

and I was especially grateful for GO, thank god

i don't really think LOONA have a signature sound yet

their predebut releases are pretty diverse, so i don't agree with the "they lost their loona sound when they debuted" (i mean... hi high was very similar to love4eva lol) or the "they don't have the loona sound this comeback"

kdrama actors and idols be playing gay roles in a kdrama, but only to the extent of saying "i... i like.... guys" with the blankest facial expression and that's it 🙄 

 

i mean, im glad the producers aren't promoting the flamboyant gay stereotype, but i also want to see the portrayal of at least a little bit of mannerisms or behaviors that are associated with gay men, ya know? maybe in the tone of voice, or in their gestures... just to make it seem more realistic, like the gay people we see and meet in real life

Simon Says really isn't that experimental and i think it's one of NCT's easier songs to listen to (i loved it and was able to vibe w it at first listen, and it was immediately catchy!)

it's got an interesting instrumental, but it still follows a traditional song structure

verse 1 > pre-chorus  > chorus and post-chorus  > verse 2 > same pre-chorus > chorus and post-chorus > bridge > final chorus and post-chorus

and there isn't any sudden key changes, and the instrumental in each section isn't that different from each other so it's not really that "disjointed" (minus the bridge)

ok, the bridge was really extra and very different from the rest of the song, but we've all been listening to kpop for a long time now so it's not that shocking anymore lmao

height does matter in a group's overall visuals.... if one or two members stand out for being significantly taller or shorter than the rest of the group, then it makes their formations (in photoshoots or in choreography) less pretty

NCT has outstanding dancers like Taeyong, Ten and Mark etc but as a group, they're in no way one of the best dancers of this gen 

 

the clown reacts omg maybe it's cuz I didn't word it clearly rip

i meant to say that NCT as a group aren't all that great in terms of dancing

Jaehyun was one of the youngest members (if not the youngest? im not so sure) in "NCT"'s old lineup, so the cutie dongsaeng smrookies mc jaehyun we saw on show champion seems just as forced as the cool princely image SM puts on him today lmao

i don't think that bubbly image was authentic on him back then

spoiler for 2gether the series ep 12 lmao

Spoiler

i don't really think sarawat was written out of character in this episode

pam was his first love after all, so maybe he was just thrown off seeing her again after a long time

and maybe there's still some lingering feelings there even though he's already taken by someone else... oop

i think him being a little confused about how he feels is a nice, spicy plot point LOL

 

but i do get why people are mad at his character/the writing.... it's completely different from the book apparently

 

also this drama is happening way too late into the series LMAO like... at the tail end? really? that's my only issue with this plot point

 

unless it won't be resolved yet and there'll be another season....  😮

you shouldn't have to force celebrities to speak out and support the BLM movement, they should do it voluntarily

just saw an idol post about it after twitter stans basically begged (maybe even threatened) him to do it and I don't know... it just comes across disingenuous now

stan twitter would disagree but i like it when male idols shave off their armpit hair LOL i've been noticing a lot of boy groups do it lately (unlike during 2nd gen  kpop when everybody just let it grow and didn't groom lol)

female idols are all expected to be hairless and smooth there, so it's nice to know that boy groups are starting to do it too lmao
