I don’t think I’ll ever see close bg and gg friendships anymore. I can only recall Big Bang and 2ne1 as well as Mamamoo and BTOB as my top tier group friendships. They were always so comfortable with each other in public too.

Ok so I finally gave NCT 2023 a try, first of all the album it’s not bad, just not really my favorite.
Starting with GOLDEN AGE, the song it’s not really that bad the chorus it’s good and the instrumental it’s so nice (some parts) I really liked it, but the verses are a little painful to hear, they did the rap line so bad!! The vocal line carried the song! Sadly it doesn’t help it to be good! 🤷🏽‍♂️
So… BAGGY JEANS… I didn’t like it hahaha, and it’s not because it’s bad, it’s quite catchy. I realized that I just don’t like Ten and Taeyong (hate their solo work so bad) also I hate GOLDEN HOUR, so this song was really not for me, had to admit Doyoung carried the whole song (as expected). Being honest, I was a little angry that t7s unit was the main unit this time instead of a new lineup!
Aside from that I kinda appreciate that a lot of “mistreated” members got to participate on a lot of songs this time, sadly most of the fandom didn't wanted this comeback!
After all the mess that happened this year I’m really not vibing with NCT 2023!
Finally, N.Y.C.T. Was quite disappointing, was expecting something different and it felt so MEH! Really the silence was SO LOUD with this one! NCT LABs are getting so boring! It’s always the same theme for the songs! Give me something new and unique! No other song has been as new and fresh as CHILD!
Also, this is Taeil’s second flop on NCT LAB?!? How?!?! I’m blaming SM for this!

what happened to unpopular kpop opinions?? do you know?? it seems like most of the other staff have been mostly inactive for the past year or so
we all just...got busy. we're all adults now with 9-5 jobs or school so we just started focusing on those things, even though it was a hard decision for everyone to make to stop posting-- we did all enjoy being apart of uko after all. im sorry that there was never an official post about it.
i hope that helps! i've had a few people ask this and i never got around to replying (': my bad for ghosting yall

Unpopular BTS/Kpop Opinion
I’m coming on here to say this because it’s less intimating than twitter TT
I’ve been an army since 2017 before the LY series began and watched bts’s success grow and their popularity rise with my own eyes. So I get the passion fans have for wanting them to break all records, win all awards, and be properly recognized for their artistry. But as today’s Grammy nominations came out and seeing the discourse around it Ive come to the realization that I’m becoming kinda “done” with some behaviors and mindsets. BTS and their team have every right to receive awards for their work but I don’t think it means that no matter what BTS does and releases they and their work is automatically better than western/other k pop groups simply because they are BTS.
I feel like there’s a lot of people who have a blind support for the boys and while that is thoughtful it is also at times closed minded. I often see people say that they only support bts, no other kpop groups, no western artists… I don’t think I’m alone in saying this but as an army I love bts’s music but I also love music in general. I enjoy listening to what other artists are putting out and showing support for their creativity. There’s often times I enjoy new music from other groups over the new works of the boys. Lil Nas for example is an artist whom I’ve enjoyed listening to and supporting. I admire his boldness, creativity and unapologetic authenticity while facing adversity. I also really love his music and love that a young queer black man is becoming successful in the industry.
These happen right also be some similar reasons why I love BTS. But by supporting another artist doesn’t mean I love or support bts any less so its unfair for fans to look down upon other fans for not conforming their preference in music every time something new is released. This mindset on looking down on people who recognize and enjoy other music is not necessary. The Grammys is a corrupt organization that fans should take with a grain of salt. If bts win, they win and its another step towards a positive direction. If they lose it’s not a reflection of them or their ability nor is it a setback in their career. It’s just a corrupt system that leans in the direction of money and secrets. Or quite possibly another factor that also doesn’t inherently mean anything negative towards bts, the academy/whomever may simply like another song, video, album, etc more. I personally have enjoyed other music this year besides PTD/Butter and I nor anyone else should be condemned or have our army card revoked for enjoying a broader selection of music.
Take one look at any of the members Spotify playlist and you’ll see that they don’t even have this singular passion for one group or genre so I’m not concerned bts will look down upon any army for listening/supporting other artist. In my eyes as long as you are not a solo/saseang/dangerous person and you continue to show bts support and love while also enjoying other music there’s no issue. How can BTS pave the way for other POC artists and yet armys are restricted to only supporting BTS? Now I’m not saying all armys have this mindset, honestly probably only a small amount do, but those people also seem to be the loudest in my ears. I just don’t want any army to feel guilty when they enjoy other avenues of music.

you know, if you and I have different bias groups, that's cool, I can check out yours and you can check out mine, doesn't matter if we don't like them or not, as long as we can appreciate each other's likes, if we have different biases, that's cool too, I might draw yours and you might write mine, as long as we can get along and be friends

Just heard Paint Me Naked for the first time and honestly I didn't like it much 🙈
The outfits were great and Ten looked like he was having fun but the lyrics of the song were kind of random and awkward to me idk.
Maybe it'll grow on me or maybe I'll just forget about it's existence.
Regardless, I'm glad Ten got this chance to express himself and hopefully he's proud of the work he's done.

After school Bekah is one of kpop best rapper. She easily wash bts rapline and stray kids one (I don’t believe either groups KNOW how to rap but their fans seems to believe so) and the list would go on.

I hate when certain fans make others feels guilty for not loving every single song that their faves release. You can love a group and their music and not love that one song at the same time. I mean, there’s no way that your faves love every one of their own songs; I know mine don’t. It would honestly be weird if they did, with so much corporate involvement in the music making process. I love my faves with all my heart, but they’ve released over 300 songs, and I’d be lying if I said I loved every single one.

You know nowadays I rarely see plagiarism thrown around that much, but when it is, it’s for something legit and is started by the original creator. In terms of fandoms, ARMYs are the most sensitive towards groups, especially 4th generation groups, copying BTS and it’s usually for something that is a complete reach. I’ve never seen a fandom so eager to be tied up in this and slander groups. From ATEEZ and the bus concept to The Boyz and their film club concept with the blue wall and outfits, it amazes me how many ARMYs try to claim things as “BTS print”, either out of boredom, to prevent a group’s growth, or to supposedly “defend” BTS. It doesn’t make it any better seeing other ARMYs follow suit without doing minimal research like a bunch of lemmings. What imbecile behavior.

Watching the SMTOWN concert, I almost can’t believe that the same group sang Replay (R&B), Ring Ding Dong (autotune/EDM), Why So Serious (funk rock), Everybody (dubstep), View (deep house), and 1 of 1 (new jack swing). That’s crazy variety, and what’s more, they almost always ushered in the next big musical trend in kpop, sometimes years in advance. SHINee! 2021 is about to be so much better just because they’re back.

Making Dynamite an English single may have been a decision made to reach a wider audience (probably just for money though), but now announcing a second English single seems like a decision only made for money purposes. Bighit saw what a giant success Dynamite was and after Life Goes On (kinda, but not really) flopped, decided that the English market is a better target.
Admin Note: This opinion was sent in before BTS released “Butter.”

Big Hit slowly creating a monopoly in the industry is not a good thing not matter how armys try to spin it.

If all netizens with a tight asshole cancelled idols on every instance that is the slightest to most controversial for an idol—past behavior, provocative clothes, dating, smoking/drugs/alcohol, weak performances, rude looking behavior, cultural appropriation, every type of -ism, etc—then there isn’t a kpop group/idol worth supporting. Even if you did narrow it down to one group or idol who’s unproblematic, I feel like you’re forcing yourself to like their music merely because their records are clean (or at least not exposed on media). It’s easier to just be a casual listener, forgive and move on, find another artist with similar sounds, or even still be a fan of the group’s work alone but hold them accountable because there will never be an idol/group that is/was “never problematic”.

Kpop isn’t good vocal music. Aside from the high notes, there’s little room to show the kind of range a lot of these amazing singers have. I never really thought Wendy was the vocal god she is until I saw videos from when she was in high school singing. And it’s because kpop doesn’t allow much room for REALLY good vocals. Wendy gets her 3 seconds to really shine with her high notes and that’s it. Everything else is just... standard singing.

its kind of a bummer that haechan was too young to be in the 7th sense. the demo version with him was borderline amazing and i think that if the song was released today he'd be a perfect choice for the line-up. His voice matches the song even better now that he matured and i KNOW his smooth style of dancing would've killed that choreo.
