Default K-Pop Music Thread (J-Pop and C-Pop welcome too)

I didn't see this sort of thread already so wanted to make it. Officially i didn't really get into listening to most of the songs i now do until maybe around 2022. The first awareness of it might have been way back in 2015 or so when i saw something about Balckpink on TV. A couple years later IKON dance and the BTS performance being shown off in Fortnite.

I actually had never gone to a concert before too with my first ever one going to be Michael Jackson at the London shows way back for 2008 before his untimely passing and never really feeling i'd spend the money to go to anybody else, but i did come across Twice during that lockdown period and have to say, i got hooked. So when they finally had a show coming to London, i managed to talk myself into going as welp as bringing a friend along. I enjoyed it, but due to some personal issues the day before/morning of the concert i didn't manage to get enough sleep and was running on fumes, so a large chunk of the concert feels like a blur.

Stray Kids are heading to Hyde Park but i wanted a proper concert venue and the ticket prices were set really high for the seats i would have wanted, so i left it. Itzy recently did a show but i don't listen as much to them so wasn't sure i would be able to shell out in a justifiable trip down to London.

I started listening to Stray Kids and Ateez too but also during my time have discovered Le Sserafim, New Jeans and many others groups who have songs i quite liked. Unfortunately the darker side of this particular area of music, is that some of the fans are probably the most obsessive and stalker like i have come across with some very disturbing lengths some go to as well as the fact there's some other issues with the industry specifically caused by the music companies themselves to make the artists into a commodity to be exploited which leads to the really weird situations when the artists decide to pursue any romantic relationship.

2024 was definitely one of my most favourite years since starting to listen to K-Pop and as a fan of many groups generally it was a treat how many international appearances there was, comebacks with new music and so on.

I actually am hoping to save up and go to the first BTS world concert when they comeback after their military service hopefully 2025 or 2026.
