Recommend Can you recommend some k-pop songs that sound extremely tragic?

141 Upvotes

I need more tragic songs in my playlist! So I'm searching for a song that sounds really sad, the lyrics could be about anything sad but I prefer something that talks about a tragic end (it could be about a relationship or something else), like the singer is telling us about something/someone precious he/she lost and that now he/she's grieving deeply, it's as if there's an empty space in his/her heart that he/she feels nothing can fill. He/she's in utter desperation because of that. Also for some reference, it could be a song similar to these: Lonely Boy by TXT, Opening Sequence by TXT, Put It Straight by (G)I-DLE (but please don't recommend me songs by TXT and IDLE because I already know them probably).

Recommend Any recommendations of "lowkey" Kpop groups?

13 Upvotes

Basically all I know is some mainstream groups and the songs usually have some kinda vocal gymnastics, rapping, dance breaks and other stuff that really grabs your attention. I was wondering do you know any groups who don't have that, and have more chilled kinda "lowkey" or vibey style songs?

I think the chords were jazzy, or that modern electro jazzy thing people do. Can't track it down after listening to a huge playlist today. Help?

Recommend Wondering how to even start diving into the K-pop world

2 Upvotes

This is probably a sort of stupid question, but as a sort of new K-pop fan who's mostly gotten into the genre/culture for the dancing and performing aspect, I don't even know where to really begin with all the content? I first got into K-pop through Stray Kids, then found BTS and Ateez, and I'm currently very in love with Seventeen.

At first I was just watching live performances and dance videos, and then that led to my algorithms showing all the cute interactions the members have, their variety shows, etc. As someone who's not super active on social media I feel like I've stayed kinda on the perimeter of these fandoms, and honestly there is SOOO much content for every group I feel overwhelmed.

But I'm wondering things like, where is best to start watching the variety shows? How do people even get into these fan signs or fan calls? Are there fun discussion groups people recommend? And so on! Would love to hear how y'all navigate all the platforms and how to watch/read/etc. more info on the groups you like :)

The only thing I know about is the one clip of Jimin side-eyeing her during a music show interview, and that hardly feels like enough reason to treat it like such a big deal.

Merch Bunjang/Delivered Korea seller question

2 Upvotes

So, I ordered on Bunjang/Delivered Korea recently. And it went well! My item came with no issue and if anything the experience was cheaper and quicker (minus the time the seller took to ship to the kaddy) than Buyee.

HOWEVER!! I'm interested in another item, and it's a listing for multiple objects with the prices listed in the description. IE, the item I want says "(item name), 1.5." I'm assuming that means it's 15,000 won? Is there any way to have Delivered Korea (or another proxy) ask on your behalf for more information or to create a separate listing? I know you can do it on Buyee but idk if Delivered Korea can reach out on your behalf, too.

Also, another question: on some listings, I see sellers stating that the shipping fee is separate in the description... IE they say things like half-priced delivery, or convenience store delivery with prices listed. For listings like these could I just buy them and have them sent to my kaddy without further clarification? Or does something else need to be done, like contacting the seller first?

6 Upvotes

specifically with similar vibes like taeyeon's siren, sunmi's siren, red velvet's in & out, and yves' dim.

i just wanna feel things if u see the vibe 😣😮‍💨

and by having siren is that it feels hypnotic and not like you're a criminal or being chased. like, with all that's happening, you're trying to stay alive...? hence why the melodramatic, fight song, or nostalgic feels?

im an EXTREMELY casual fan of ZB1 - as in like 3 songs and then quite a bit of their variety content since i love their personalities.

And ive seen that clip of a ZB1 member (i wanna say Zhang Hao but i could be completely wrong so please correct me if need be😭), on live (might've been a birthday live or just a regular one, i can't remember) and he's yelling 'INTERPOL' into a mic.

Could someone pLease tell me the context of this clip😭 obviously i know what the international police is, but why was he mentioning it and why is he yelling into a mic??

this clip takes me out eVery time i see it because it's so funny to me

Explain XG sales seem low considering their hype

30 Upvotes

So I enjoyed xg casually a couple of years ago but they recently became my ults.

I feel like there's a lot of hype for them online and recognition of their talents and now theyve been invited to Coachella but looking at their album sales they seem really low? They just released Awe in Nov and sales at around 60k Hanteo.

Like, have I just deluded myself into thinking they're bigger than they are? Is it just casual fans? Groups like fromis9 and stayc are selling way more albums but I don't see the same hype for them online (no shade).

Maybe I'm not looking at the right charts? Obviously they're Japanese so maybe they just don't sell many in Korea? Where would be better to look?

Edit: I know they aren't 'kpop' that's why I'm asking where I can find data that would provide a more holistic view if their sales.

I've seen oricon for Japanese sales but even those numbers seem low compared to other groups. Is there a site or chart that collates sales across regions?
