Debuting a group with members who are 'ugly' to point that you can be successful without visuals but talent, only to be forced to become pretty to make a comeback really proves the point that we DO care about visuals. Kpop is ABOUT visuals and you can't succeed WITHOUT visuals. It's sad honestly :(

@@peachxtaehyung It's a hard to swallow pill, but you probably also care about looks to some point. Its a natural evolutionary human trait. Also there is something like Halo effect, you automatically assume that a pretty person is also good, smart, nice etc. I see that my life as a normal looking person is a bit harder comparing to lives of beautiful people, but unfortunately thats how humans are

It is not about visuals, but which company you are from. Like there are visuals in more underrated groups like Jinsoul from Loona and Jiu from Dreamcatcher who fit korean beauty standards, but are not known because they debuted in unknown companies. Meanwhile we have unattractive people in big companies like Sohee from Riize that is famous because of SM. So visuals is not the problem, but the company.
@_haileyva_50247 ай бұрын
@@vixxexo6855 sure, the company might be part of the problem but visuals are too. Even if Sohee doesn't fit the beauty standards, he is still somewhat good looking and most importantly in good shape. Personally I think he is attractive.. if the members had debuted with the same body and looks but from a big company, they would have garnered more fame but they would have been bullied to shreds the same way they were when they debuted from a small company. Instead, if their facial structures weren't that good looking but they were in good shape, really just skinny they would've been more popular. So yes, the company does have a part in it but visuals, especially your body shape matters. We've seen female idols get insanely bullied for being more chubby or having thicker thighs like Jiwoo from NMIXX or Liz from IVE. Visuals do matter.

This is a great idea for a series! My vote would be for PIXY, who has a small but very tight fanbase. They have had a lot of challenges finding an audience, but people who find them often are baffled by their overall quality and small viewership. I had the pleasure to see them at their US debut, and they were really wonderful.

Using an OEC clip when you say "the importantance of extensive worldbuilding" - I see what you did there, I'm already sold. You had the "alarm bells" bit about BBC in there twice, but I agree, Geenius definitely have potential and I'm glad they finally debuted! There's one totally nugu (as in, released one single and you can't even find it easily) soloist I really liked years ago, called Luah. I think her song was a special project from Areia Creations (the remix guy), called "Feelin' It." The MV is super cringey, but the song was ahead of its time, doing tropical house in Kpop before that trend really took off. I listened to that song nonstop in spring 2017

For a nugu group to cover, I highly recommend Eite!! They debuted a few months ago with the song Independent Woman, and it EATS. They have a strong, mature concept with great vocals and choreo, and they're all ADULTS which is so refreshing. And the song itself is an absolute bop with synth beats. I decided to stan the moment I checked them out.

Something about nugu groups that makes me often times very nervous about them, which is even mentioned in the video, are trashy companies, even of the groups mentioned in the fourth chapter there are two whose companies I really don’t like (BBC for very obvious reasons and FM due to the Beomhan situation) so I get why a lot of people don’t even check out those groups but there are so many good ones that it makes it really sad A personal favourite group that I personally feel comfortable actually calling nugu would be CSR, their songs are so good, the members seem sweet (and really talented) and the company doesn’t seem to bad (love that they got a very sweet concept considering the members all debuting with around 17 years and also their physical albums are such a treat to open due to the very pure and honest feeling I get from the group if that makes any sense)

If you're going to feature more Nugudom groups, well... there's one group who only last year produced a song called "Nugudom". They're called *CRAXY*. Think of them like a dark/harder, more rap focused Dreamcatcher or PIXY. They are insanely good, both in terms of vocals and choreography. I'm shocked that no one in the comment section is saying a word about them, which only means they are SUPER slept on. Aside from "Nugudom", check out "Undercover", "Poison Rose", and "No Limit". These are all fairly recent and gives a showcase of how capable they are (especially the mix-tapes, which sort of have an NMIXX feel in that it's like several songs made into one). Lastly.... Pocket Girls serving the Lord by helping the military find Jesus, lmao. Midnight Theories getting a little sassy this video lol.

companies with smaller budgets should just film outside tbh and choose interesting locations. it might not be as exciting for koreans but international fans would appreciate scenes of korea and everyday korean life. also having a low budget doesn’t mean you can’t be creative. there are iconic videos out there where there is just a plain background and the focus is on the singer’s acting/facial expression or maybe just drawing some art for the background of the MV or something, putting face paint on, etc. these companies need to hire more creative production teams that know how to work with limited budgets
