No surprise there

[Kim hyojung is love]

LOL

Tbvh I expected bts or twice to perform

[nikx]

ummmm TWICE should have perform they are loved alot in SK

 

 

i dont think that duo group fit the occasion they need fun+upbeat music

[Jem's]

good

[itouch]

Well u beat me posting. But my title is better.

[WonderTwice]

so if they do a performance showing the years of korean music what are they going to show for 2000;s and up ? not having an idol perform is ok but they shouldn't leave out Kpop all together they might have someone else sing snippets probably than again we don't even know how they are doing the ceremony I'm just basing this off of what Brazil did  

[Fatalite]

Not surprised.

 

Maybe idols will get to show in the closing ceremony

[salesandwhales]

guess the nation bg and gg argument should stop since their own nation are embarrassed by idols and don't care

maybe some of the soloists invited will perform a slow-version medley of bigbang, snsd, wg, twice hits

[Poeski]

No idol group is respected enough to do a ceremony like that except for Big Bang or maybe SNSD, not even Twice.

 

I'm gonn get negged by onces but come on now...they can only chart one song off an album. Idol groups are an entertaining gimmick...not artists that are respected

[fallingslowly]

Not surprised. But I expected to see IU, or someone equal to her in stature, at least?

[Zaiku]

Just put in singers that can actually sing, that's all.

thats what I'm guessing they will do not even just the popular group hits of this recent generation but from 2000 up

[Jeffrey Jung]

This is literally no surprise even the Tokyo Olympics performance debate rejects any sort of idol group possibilities they would rather have soloists or veteran bands or artists

[blank]

I feel like the respect for idols has gone down each year tbh

I could imagine SNSD or BB being invited if this was like a few years ago

[ethereal]

idols play a really big role in the globalization of korean culture whether korean citizens like it or not so it's a bit weird to me that they don't have at least one idol group or idol solo attending.

Bolbbalgan sometimes covers idol group songs so i’m guessing they could be the representative of the youth

[Rohan Kishibe]

No one outside korea is going to be here for this k-indie snoozefest.

[Jeffrey Jung]

C list yikes

To be fair they never said idol groups are C-list it’s literally clickbait title from OP

[miachu]

I can't really see SK being okay with groups that aren't full-korean (both ethnically and nationally) perform at the opening ceremony and since some of the most popular groups rn aren't full-korean, maybe this is just their way of bypassing that concern

[B612]

lmao a true end for the possible fanwars

[Hwayoung]

very unrealistic but i really want sohyang to come and bust out her amazing singing
