This was what I was talking about last week, these guys pointed out far more!

Yes, it is true that #ASEAN is #Kpop 's largest overseas consumers—with the #Philippines and #Indonesia at the top. It was us who turned the Hallyu Wave into a global phenomenon. Without us, you wouldn't be where you are today.
Watch the #ACON performance of SB19, the new global standard in Pop idol performance. They conquered the event filled with well-known top #Kpop groups. They converted many new global fans, even Koreans! Raw & truly live!

#SB19 is independent. 😜
This is one such drama that has been happening in the #Kpop scene for days now. It turned into South Koreans vs South-East Asians, Africans, Latinos, and a few Europeans.
They, the Korean fans, started it on Twitter X and Threads.

[delayed post] Midweek New Music Roundup :: May 6th - 13th https://abuelaskpop.dreamwidth.org/77230.html
This week's listing features new music from Mingi (ATEEZ), RAIN, BE'O, aespa, plus many more!
Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen aespa -- KISS N TELL.
I've enjoyed this more than most other aespa title tracks. The girls actually singing, the colourful MV, the "dee da da dee" combined with "I wanna kiss n tell", ad libs and outro - it's all quite lovely.
It's also another example of the wonders wrought by Korean-Japanese synergy.
I do love the MV, but I am also very keen to see the choreo in a performance video.

THREAD START! 🧵🧵🧵
At one point, I didn't think I was going to manage to pick out favorites of the year.
And then I started actually doing it and oh boy.
SO! A thread in celebration of the best of Kpop in 2025, in my not always that humble opinion!
Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen HEARTS2HEARTS -- 15--LOVE -- On The Spot Performance Video .
Feeling Juun's energy as her forceful dancing opened the performance , I was immediately hooked. Carmen's and Stella's vocals, Ye-on's prechorus with the strings, the brass and the rock guitars as we move to the final chorus -cum-outro -- it's great and thoroughly addictive.
So why wasn't I hooked when I first heard the album track? I can't give a full answer, but the power of performance and prettiness to shape my response to the music is undeniable. As well as being impressed as always by Juun's dancing, I was struck by how well the On The Spot videography served this performance. I was also pleased to see the coordination of colour and pattern in the outfits . Everybody looked pretty of course, but I was particularly taken with Carmen. Kudos to her and to Yuha for dancing in heels; I wish we saw that more often.

LOL. The "Korea vs SEAblings and the World" drama reached International Business Times UK. 😅

Well, ASEANs are on the defensive and largely making memes. You can't blame ASEANs for reacting against Knetz racism. 🔥🐴

🤷🏽 Looks like F&F Entertainment is only yet another typical #Kpop idol agency.
They not only removed #GehleeDangca 's asset: dark toned brown skinned complexion, they turned #Kotoko into a white lady.
My kid's elementary class created the school's award-winning pumpkin this year, decorating it to look like Derpy and Sussie from K-Pop Demon Hunters. It's kind of amazing what they did on their own

Fan lore says Hongjoong wrote this to thank Seonghwa for being on his side. Of course officially, this is meant to thank ATINY for their unwavering support from the beginning.

Every weekend I look back at the preceding week in Kpop and pick out a music video or performance that I have particularly liked. This week I have chosen KARD -- Back To Life -- Simply K-Pop.
I found myself getting teary as I listened to this farewell -- or should it be hasta siempre? - song from KARD. I haven't enjoyed their recent releases that much, so I was gratified to hear them going back to a tropical house sound reminiscent of their earlier material.
I chose this stage because I like seeing the choreo, and the outfits are the best of all the stages and videos that I have seen.
It's a shame that they never broke through in a big way in South Korea. I hope they have derived a sense of achievement as well as monetary compensation from their success with Latin American fans.
Although I didn't understand every line of the song, I was moved by the themes of support and loyalty voiced in the song. Some might dismiss this aspect of the song as World Cup anthem corniness, but in an age where cruelty and faithlessness abound, I would rather accept this lyrical offer at face value than bind myself in the armour of cynicism and so make myself insensible to hope and human connection.

To the Korean government & ministry,
You want to the world to embrace #Kculture #Kcontent #Kdrama #Kpop and so on but you are dismissing and ignoring the voices of the global community. That is not acceptable.
The American culture and the US Dollar are global hence everyone has something to say for and against them.
That is the price you pay when you go global. You cannot dismiss and ignore the voices of your global fans.
#PerfectCrown must stay!
