i agree, i think being able to consistently impress with live performances and in encores is integral to domestic longevity for kpop groups and they seem to excel in that regard, or at least go viral with knets for that more often than the other 5th gen groups.

skz are really the only 4th gen group with authentic numbers in america i believe, they have a very large western fanbase, no doubt in thanks to chan and felix. they do very well in china and i think they don’t do too badly in japan either

aespa obviously does very well in east asia and are slowly getting more recognition in the west

for 5th gen it will be boynextdoor and babymonster

boynextdoor are still tanking on spotify so idt you can say that just yet

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
a skz stan trying to sound normal and impartial is too funny

i think it's too early to say for 5th gen tbh. bnd is climbing now but for a second it looked like riize was leading and zb1 has more individual popularity than bnd rn. i do think bnd will do well after their first tour though, think a lot of casual fans will tune in.
babymonster is extremely strong tour wise but i don't see much buzz outside of that yet i think they'll need a couple of relative hits to climb up but they don't have much gg competition yet.

skz sold out 3 days of tokyo dome so yeah it seems like bts did get replaced

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
we won't truly know until 5th gen is 5 years in. its never decided whos the top until all the top groups are like 4 years in.

enhypen, ateez, and txt are really the only 4th gen boy groups i enjoy but jyp did a good job putting the group together. chan and felix bring in a lot of ifans and hyunjin is very popular in china, almost to the same extent as someone like chanyeol was

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
they drew a crowd of 220k for 4 nights in fukuroi, japan earlier this year skz are def very popular there

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
a lot of stays are army, you could tell when skz was at festivals and everyone was singing along to bts music when it was played. they'll probably go right back to bts now

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
no that means they've abandoned bts for the younger models lol

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
da bts are also very solo focused which makes it less fun to follow them i'm sure

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
who the fuck are you i'm a brat when i'm bumpin that

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
i thought versace was done with hyunjin but he showed up at the nyc store and changed outfits 4 times. that's some next level shit

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)

(Anonymous) 2025-06-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)

Your parents ended up emigrating to Israel in 1988 when you were in university. You wore a yellow pin honoring the October 7 Israeli hostages at The White Lotus premiere in February.

I always wear it if I’m on a red carpet and a press line.

Public sentiment on Gaza seems to have shifted a lot since then. I wonder where you are right now on the issue?

Where I am is either a full magazine or no comment about it, because two or three sentences in a profile are not enough to deal with the issues. I wear the hostage pin because there are innocent people who were taken from their homes. Most of them are peace activists who lived in border communities where they were ferrying sick kids to hospitals and working with people from Gaza constantly. There are Holocaust survivors, there are children who were taken, there are people being starved and tortured and raped who have no access to the Red Cross. People are rightfully talking and thinking about all the civilians that are in danger everywhere else. But those people in tunnels, it’s now 600 days they’ve been there, they’ve been forgotten entirely. And so I wore the pin once and the hostages’ families got in touch with me and they thanked me enormously. I now am aware that they are watching me and that it matters to them. If my son or sister or daughter or father was being kept in a tunnel somewhere and weighed 25 kilos now, or may have been strangled or shot, and it felt important to me that some actors somewhere wore the yellow hostage pin, then who am I to not wear it?

So when it comes to more nuanced arguments about Netanyahu and the right-wing lunatics in the cabinet, or whether the IDF is or isn’t doing things, or this new Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is or isn’t handing out food correctly, or whether Hamas’s press releases should be printed as fact, and whether there aren’t journalists in there — there are so many complicated arguments. It isn’t a place to dip one’s toe or to have a simple quote on it. What I wish for everybody, obviously, is peace. Who doesn’t? I don’t know anybody, apart from the extremists on all sides, who want either continued war or tension.

The argument that you make for the ribbon is a humane one. Why don’t you think more actors have worn them?

Because just for wearing it, I’ve been called a Zionist baby killer, a Zionazi. Even a yellow hostage pin for innocents is deemed political, which it isn’t.

it's fun to see how invested they both are. i wonder if he did this little stint to make up for not going to fashion week since he's on tour
