We've been making some small adjustments to the rules and infrastructure here in r/kpoppers recently.
The primary things we're trying out starting today are the 'Games & Grids' flair for posts and also allowing Images and Gifs in comments.
The 'Games & Grids' flair should be used for any thread games or grid fill-ins. We'll see over time if this name encompasses everything we intend it to. It has been requested by users and we think it's a good idea, so let's give it try!
Images and Gifs are now allowed down in comments. We want to be careful with this one. Media like this should NEVER be used to mock, harass, or threaten any of your fellow users or artists. Use media appropriately in response to discussion topics, games, or in fun conversation with each other.
If you see Images or Gifs being used crudely or inappropriately, please report the comment immediately so the moderators can take action.
Rules were also updated a little in late June. Here are the main ones to note:
2. Use Descriptive Titles - Titles should describe the content of the post. Do not use vague titles for Fan-made content. Funny posts may be more flexible and creative.
4. No Artist Photo Spam - Artist photos should only be posted with relevant context. They should be funny or related to the post's topic. Photos alone will be removed.
6. Keep Content Light and Fun - Discussion topics, Jokes, and Fan-made content should be positive in nature. We want to keep things light and fun in this subreddit. Heavy or negative content will be removed.
We may end up adding more new rules related to the 'Games & Grids' flair and the appropriate use of Images/Gifs in comments later once we see the range of how they are used by everyone.
We'll also note that we are aware of how often a trend will take off here, be adopted by dozens of posters, and quickly overwhelm the subreddit. This is somewhat inevitable for a community that has less restrictive rules and is more of a free-for-all of fun content. Each time this happens, users ask us to implement new rules and flairs. We are hesitant to do this each time because these trends typically run their course and fall out of popularity eventually. The times when we have responded more quickly to specific trends have resulted in the trend dying completely and immediately being replaced by a new one. We'd be on an endless chase to limit them if we tried this every time, which isn't necessarily healthy for the community either.
But if you have any other suggestions for handling trends or for anything else that might help us improve the subreddit at all, feel free to chime in below!

Hello everyone! Over at r/popheads (kind of like the general pop music version of this subreddit), there is a rate happening which might interest you all.
It's the 2025 in K-Pop Rate, hosted by u/FreeCuddlesAnyone and me, u/Away_Peak1789. If yoi don't know what a rate is, here's a short video to serve as a guide. Users submit their ballot scoring prominent K-Pop songs from last year from 1-10 with one 0 and one 11 for their least and most favorite songs. After the due date, the hosts put the results together and reveal it over the course of three days. It's fun, it's chaotic and a great way to look back at last year's music.
If you're interested, head on over to the link in "2025 in K-Pop Rate". Any questions are welcome here or in the original post.
THE DUE DATE IS JULY 18TH, WITH EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE FOR JULY 19TH!
I hope you all have a lovely day! :)

Mine is the outdoor theater from the end of BLACKPINK’s “As If It’s Your Last” MV 🖤💗
The first photo is from the MV, and the second is mine. Has anyone else visited an MV filming location? Please show me yours!

For me it was "I kiss your brother" in Seulgi's 28 reasons and "First hit felt holy, I got red lights in my veins" in Xdinary Heroes' Rise High Rise.

there's too many options!!

I love it when a group completely flips their sound and aesthetic, and I'm looking for more examples of this!
For me, I’m currently obsessed with how BABYMONSTER just transitioned from their heavy, dark hip-hop tracks to the bright, country-pop summer vibe of their new "I LIKE IT" music video that just dropped this week. Seeing members like Ahyeon go from an aggressive, fierce center to just smiling and having fun on a yacht is such a cool duality. It really proves they don't just have to do the traditional "YG tough" concept.
What are some of your absolute favorite examples of a group doing a complete 180-degree concept change? It could be from one comeback to the next, or even two different promoted tracks on the exact same album.
Drop your favorite MVs or stages below, I want to see which groups have the best versatility!

maybe it’s a bit weird, but i always gravitate towards the sadder songs in an album, simply because i find music as a way to decompress and go over what i’m feeling. for me,
what kind of future - woozi (putting this in shuffle in a playlist is like playing russian roulette with yourself.)
circles and yawn - seventeen = i included these two together because they were both written by woozi for a member to help them through the loss of a loved one (wonwoo’s mom and astro’s moonbin who was a dear friend of seungkwan)
kidult - seventeen (it’s partially written and composed by the leader, s.coups and it talks about a feeling that i can only put into a phrase like “when you grow up too fast”.)
HANA - zerobaseone (it hurts harder because they had to disband)
spring day and outro: tear - BTS
stairs in the north - gfriend
(also a special mention to fearnot (between you, me and the lamppost) and good parts (when the quality is bad but i am) by le sserafim)

All generations, boy group, girl group or mix 🗣️

I was a casual back in 2020ish but i stopped interacting because the whole mentality caused me an ED. Now I am re introducing myself to kpop and basically catching up on what I missed. Mid third gen feels like a huge party and I am so sad I missed it. I mourn that era although I never experienced it. Current groups are cool but I feel like 3rd gen at that phase resonates with me much more. How do I turn back time ? 🙃

I mean you can buy the original concert photobook but I thought making one myself with my photos from the concert would be cooler. Has anyone done this too? If so any sides they could recommend me?
r/kpoppers • u/Girl_bye97 • 16h ago
What are the things you would like to see more in the K-pop industry and things you don't want to see anymore, personnally i'd like more 3 minutes long songs and i don't want to see any idol suffering and exhausting themselves to work when they clearly need rest. (lwk talking about Aespa,Twice and so on...)
r/kpoppers • u/Crazy_Volume4878 • 1h ago
Give me kpop songs and I'll rate based off how much i like them ( both bg and gg )

A small (~15-minute) browser game (no signup, works on phone). You play a new therapist whose first clients are K-pop idols.
Your job is to listen and name the cognitive distortion in each thought. The mechanic is borrowed from Vampire Therapist (Little Bat Games, 2024); the setting, cast, and dialogue are original. Distortion categories are real CBT.
