NETIZEN'S CORNER 05

[poland]

It’s time for what netizens do best: talk and talk and talk in the comments, blogs, new articles, and more about their opinions and thoughts on a specific topic. The only difference here is that you get rewarded for chatting and discussing with others!

Just comment here with your opinion/answer to the discussion and you’ll get rewarded! Feel free to reply to other member’s and initiate an actual conversation if you’d like as that is the purpose of this game. For your initial comment, meaning your individual thread, you'll get 3 random cards. You can reply to others before starting your own thread but I'll be looking for individual threads first.

For this month the discussion will be...

Eras and comebacks are a big part of kpop groups and kpop fandom. Is there a particular era and/or comeback by an artist that you like above all others? Why is it your favourite?

This round ends CLOSED!

Can I just confess that I've never paid attention to eras and comebacks………

I have been a (casual) K-pop fan for like half a year and the only comeback I can really remember is JUNIEL's because that seemed so drastic to me, but that wasn't my favourite or something. If I find a group or singer I like I just listen to all of their albums (well, at least the ones I can find) and watch some MVs and performances but the only differences between every comeback that I can spot are obvious things like "oh, now they're trying out the sexy concept" or "wow, they changed all their hairstyles", and even then I don't have much of an opinion on those. (Such a good K-pop fan I am.)

the only thing that heralds a comeback is when everyone changes their hairstyles (look at exo and their rainbow coloured hair)

wow this is such a loaded question. i don't think i have a favourite comeback/era overall - i generally enjoy comebacks and the different eras for different reasons! like i am incessantly fond of certain songs, or certain photoshoots, or even certain hairstyles and styling for each comeback. i don't think there's anything to dislike tbh. above all i think what catches my attention about comebacks is the concept and the related choreography - if the choreography and the concept isn't appealing to me, then i'm usually quite :/ about it.

BUT FOR THE SAKE OF DISCUSSION LET'S TALK ABOUT SHINEE. i think that styling wise i really liked ring ding dong for the fact that all of them had perfect hair. :( i was in love with their juliette comeback because of the photoshoot that they did for their romeo album! because PERFECT STYLING and the photoshoot really brought out the teenage/prince charming thing especially in the mv with krystal as juliet and minho as romeo. sighs wistfully. and i really enjoyed their dream girl comeback because the choreography with the mic stand was really really cool *-* but on the flipside, i didn't enjoy why so serious era because i didn't really feel the zombie concept. so. well.

The most memorable comeback for me was Super Junior's Sorry Sorry. It basically took them from a group nobody paid any attention to, to the huge idols they are today.

I definitely don't have a favorite D8 but I'll never forget the one I waited for most intensely! Battle's "Step by Step" I was on their site, on top of that count down everyday! I haven't yearned for a comeback more intensely since.

EXO's comeback was kind of agonizing ;-; it seemed like there were so many dates floating around, and it took for freaking ever for "Wolf" to come out.

I don't have a favorite era, but the first that comes to mind for me is Infinite's Destiny style, followed by VIXX's newest Only U! I feel like now I'd rather not know dates or anything like that until it's already out 8D

eras... early 2000s! because that's when I got into k-fandom XD I'm just totally lost in the current ones :x

I really loved SNSD's Mr. Taxi era, for superficial reasons + the fact that I was obsessed with everything about that song for a really long time.

Honorable mention for SHINee's Japanese Lucifer era though, cause that was like the peak of my SHINee interest. Ahhhh memories
