The Unpopular Opinions Thread (Read OP)

[Daria~]

I can’t be the only one who likes having the bashing thread around. With all the toxicity in this forum, isn’t it great that there’s a place where most of it can be compiled and where people can just go and vent without repercussions ? Can you imagine if all those tragic posts were in the main forum instead? Then there’s also the fact that Kpop fans generally can’t handle even the most well-meaning criticism of their faves and the besides all the hate there, the bashing thread provides a place for fans to criticize even their own faves without fear of angering other fans in their fandom. The fact that that thread had the most views and replies of any thread in this forum clearly shows that it’s necessary.

That said, members of a certain fandom need to come out of there once in a while to look outside, take in some sunshine and breath fresh air and give the mass negging a rest

[Daria~]

Any user who dare talking about their faves get negged to hell

ikr. It’s like they live there.

I don’t know why I can’t get used to songs in Mandarin, they always sound so awkward to me. I never had any moment when I first got involved in kpop where I felt like I had to get used to Korean songs or the Korean language or even Japanese, but c-pop songs still sound so strange to my ears.

As a neutral observer of both groups, I think Twice and BP have the same level of talent.

. Jihyo is a better vocalist than Jennie, and Rosé is at the same level as Twice‘s lead vocalist. Rosé might be the designated main singer but Jennie is a better vocalist than her.

I think Lisa is a better dancer than Momo but not by much

If Chaeyeon had debuted in a company like YG where rap is taken seriously, she’d be better than both Jennie and Lisa. Lisa has stage presence but she’s not that good of a rapper and neither she nor Jennie can write lyrics which Chaeyeon apparently does.

BP has Jisoo who plays the role of the obligatory variety member/ visual who isn’t as skilled as the other three. Twice‘s only handicap is that they have too many Jisoos or members who are less talented than Jisoo, but if you picked Twice‘s top 4 members ( Jihyo, Momo, Chaeyeon and Nayeon), they’d match evenly with BP in terms of talent.

It’s funny when international fans constantly scream about how talented BP is while bashing Twice.

I, however, agree that BP has a better discography even with only 5 songs

[Daria~]

it all comes down to image management and media play imo.  BP was hyped by YG for basically years before their debut for being full of talents in a variety of areas.  YG also carefully chose which information about the group to display and which angle they want to shine a light on.  meanwhile 16 is a survival show which inevitably will come with drama and unfair editing for the sake of views, and this has a negative side-effect bc the girls will become 'exposed' and painted as lacking and not skilled enough in certain aspects (from the judges' words and from observations made by the audience themselves).  it's all about gains and losses, imo, and everything comes with a price.

Other companies really need to learn how to successfully brand their groups from YG. Since BB became successfully established as a talented group, they’ve managed to use that to create a certain illusion that all YG groups are more talented than their peers in the same generation and that they always make quality music which has resulted in the public’s willingness to give them a chance at debut which is why all their groups since B.B. have been monster rookies while groups from other companies have to work harder to earn acknowledgement . This is not to say that YG groups don’t work hard but they owe a lot of their success with the general public to YGs brand power

Ok, I don’t get the fuss about that Younique song or subunit or whatever that some SME group fans have been going on about. The song was a bad song and I’ve seen better choreography and better dancing from SME

[Daria~]

I prefer Joy‘s long hair

 

I love Doyoung‘s voice but he really has some work to do. Just listened to his teaser with Sejeong and the airiness seems to be getting worse. It’s probably a stylistic choice but he lacked support and just sounded as if he was pushing air straight from his throat, kinda like the high pitched sound you hear when you let air out of a balloon. It’s too thin. I hope he doesn’t stick too much to that style and works on improving his technique

Why do people say Wendy is ugly? Are they blind? I don’t know if it’s a popular opinion but I see it around often enough and I don’t get it.

[Daria~]

This!!! Usually I'm good at detecting ugly idols or can understand why people find an idol I find good looking unattractive, but whenever I see someone call her ugly I'm like ?????

At first, I thought people were just saying it to be mean-spirited, which some of them were, but then I realized that some of them meant it. I understand if someone doesn’t think that she’s an amazing visual or anything, but ugly?!

[Daria~]

Still don’t like Taeyong’s piercings. Wonder how long it’s going to take me to get used to them

[Daria~]

GD in his prime, is the best looking member of BB, especially when he smiles. Seungri is the second best. I’m not a fan of Top‘s visuals

[Daria~]

Yixing is a hugely underrated dancer, even by exo Ls

[Daria~]

i'm not saying there aren't, but all i see on here are women acting like toddlers or acting like strippers. and yes it was a generalisation, you yourself just admitted i was right by saying

so yeah generalising MEANS a lot (or most to be precise). i'm not denying different GGs exist, i just don't see them around and it's tiring. i'm not looking hard enough? that could be right. i'm not interested in GGs even more so because if i even look on the lightest of surfaces i see what i keep saying i do. it's okay if you think that's fine for that to keep happening but not for me, that's why this is in the opinion thread. so i don't think that would motivate me to see more of the same stuff. what's the difference of girls' day and twice? what's the difference of mamamoo and red velvet, and at that, a HUGE difference? the only girl group i would say is different from the rest is fx, and i mean that honestly.

How do you not see a difference between this

 

 

This

 

 

Where is the similarity besides the fact that they’re both female groups singing a song in Korean? there are many girl groups out there who are very different from each other and the fact that you’re using mamamoo and RV as examples of how similar girl groups are clearly shows that you are the one blatantly refusing to see the differences.

Most idols look awful in blond hair, especially this particular shade of blond. Idols are usually so pale (either naturally, through skin whitening or makeup) that the blond clashes horribly with their skin colour, especially when they’re exhausted and their skin looks dull. Some of them look good in certain shades of blond, but they’re just certain shades that their hairstylists need to avoid

[Daria~]

I don’t get why some people act like it’s a big deal to call idols with stage names by their real names. I don’t think it’s rude or invasive at all. Idols don’t get stage names because they don’t want fans to use their real names, they get stage names because someone might already be using their real name in the industry, their real names aren’t ‚glamorous‘ enough or their real names don’t suit with the group‘s concept or the role they’re supposed to play in the group so the company gives them a different name or they pick one for themselves. I don’t think it’s a big deal to call Kai, Jongin for example. They’re both his name

It’s always sunny in Philadelphia has unbearably irritating main characters. I’ve watched 4 episodes so far, and I still don’t get why the show is famous or funny

[Daria~]

Underrated = underestimated not unpopular or unloved. People can estimate your skills or value accurately and still not like you

[Daria~]

Park Bogum is overrated in both looks and skills

[Daria~]

Park Shin Hye is a bad actress. Kim Yoo Jung, Sae Ron and SooHyun are all better than her. Infact, those kids are far superior to many actors several years their senior

[Daria~]

A lot of “unpopular†opinions in Kpop are actually very popular

[Daria~]

Lee Jong Suk‘s face is uncomfortable to look at. Sometimes I think he’s cute but most of the time, I’m left speechless but not in a good way

[Daria~]

Yeri needs to stop rapping

[Daria~]

Tried watching breakfast at Tiffany’s and fell asleep twice. I didn’t find it funny or interesting. A lot of these classical movies are honestly boring, and citizen Kane is the absolute worst. Planning on watching Casablanca next, hope I don’t fall asleep

[Daria~]

That Daniel guy has a weird crumpled up face which looks stranger when he smiles. I completely fail to see the attraction to him

[Daria~]

Joy and Seulgi are hotter than Irene
