bumpbumplove 78 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Many in my fandom were unhappy about the agency not providing subs. I just wonder if it's common for other acts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighterxx 12,204 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 For us? We finally managed to make it common thing in most cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satoori 45,814 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Myself as an fan from back in the days, absolutely no. We were just happy to have content lol..^^ However now Kpop has become so global and normalize fans have higher expectations. So for new gen Kpop stans, yes.

satoori 45,814 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 For BTS - Pre-2017: It wasn't common. On some paid content (concert dvds, vacation packages, memories) Bighit would a provide subs. Naver had its own department for subbing vlives. Other then that we relied on subbing teams with in the fanbase to add subs, if they could. Post-2018: The fandom became super adamant about subs. Literally. Mass emailing the company and hashtags. Now Bighit try to add subs to all their content, even free. They've even started to gradually sub old youtube content.

satoori 45,814 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 fromis - (2018 debut) basically adds subs to everything on youtube. their vlives didn't have them due to navar prioritizing other groups, but we have a really good subbing team that does a good job. woo!ah! - (2020 debut) for a new company they do well also. again nowadays companies are aware adding eng subs is necessary to growing and keeping the international side. however not all of them have the resources. we don't have a dedicated subbing team with in the fandom, so there is a lot content without subs too.

felidae 2,742 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It's common for now (2018 onwards I guess). I-fans are loud(er) and a lot. But before? You're lucky to have fans that were willing to sub everything for the fandom. Sometimes it went from sk, to Chinese/thai/viet, to English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlessMeAchoo 2,086 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Sometimes Monsta X videos get subs straight away and other times it takes a while. I wish Starship were more consistent with their subs tbh. Wonho's youtube videos usually have subs and if they don't they're subbed pretty quickly though.

eunheart 4,862 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 It is common now. But back then? You might as well learn Korean yourself and sub for yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
