I just assumed they will find some backdoor way of keeping them out of the military. But makes sense, if they are headlining festivals solo now.

Though a solo k-pop idol with the Lollapalooza crowd seems like a bad idea.

They still probably could get exempted but it is also going to invite lot of backlash if they get into any controversy in the near future. Enlistment has always been a sensitive topic among Koreans .

Yeah I am not sure either given how rowdy the crowd is in lollapalooza but Army probably also a good amount of the tickets 😆 . So hopefully it shouldn’t be too bad for him .

I doubt they will get the same success once they go solo like 1D boys. 1/2 will make it.

Where is the quality? Don't have an issue with slow music but atleast put some addicting hook to it.

Music wise they're doing bad. Nothing new.

It depends. Like Spring Day is what one would call “slow music” which is also one of their best songs till date IMO . Also their hip hop tracks are still pretty good ( especially Suga’s solo stuff ). The only recent track that I didn’t like was Permission to Dance which was an Ed Sheeran leftover that he gave to them 😆.

Korean movies are far more superior. Kpop is meh at best!

Yes I know that. But you can see their decline. They had strong twitter fanbase. Now anyone just makes fun of them and hardly anyone fights back. Is it true they released 35 songs? I am too tired to search. They are trying to crack into 100 million spotify club.

Hong Kong, Korea, Japan all put out stronger films than most film industries.

I don't think any of them will make it internationally, solo. But reasonable solo careers in Korea should be doable for all of them.

South Korean music market isn’t that big. There are way too many bands. It will be stagnated without overseas market.

Korean cinema is insane. Some of it is just batshit insane. And the production quality is always top-notch.

They make authentic movies. They don't compromise on quality. I used to watch Jacki Chan movies when I was kid. But they have now improved so much. It’s totally insane. The cinematic experience is so insane.
