owing to recent events, presenting the kpop group compass

[u/JustHazelChan]

I dislike none of them because it's not worth my time to (Yes that includes NJZ). But here's my observation of all relevant groups off the top of my head not counting disbanded groups or groups that JUST debuted. If I missed any group/you disagree with placement please lmk!

Also if I could add a 3rd side that's "Liked/Hated on IG" I would.

oh that's so nice to hear because it seems like everyone's out for them!! i'll move them a bit to the left

edit 2: Yeah Mamamoo goes in the red square 100%. They're lowkey everything your average I-fan wants. Personally really like Solar and Hwasa

Mamamoo is a group I don’t hear being brought up often but when they’re talked about it’s never anything super malicious. I love Hwasa and think she’s fantastic

[u/VodkaAunt → u/urmomsspaghetti412]

I follow a distressing amount of idols, with Mamamoo being the second group I stanned when I got into kpop a few years ago, and I think they're the only group that I've never had to defend

Well ... Except for the bullshit that RBW pulls occasionally

(Edit - I actually just bought a ticket today to see Hwasa soon, so exciting! I got to see OT4 back on their US tour and they were incredible.)

The hate train against illit was absolutely vicious, I don't want to diminish that, but from my viewpoint at least it definitely seems like that was more of a very vocal minority rather than the general consensus. The majority of people seem to be pretty ambivalent about them since they're still really new, but people usually defend them based on the principle of "they don't deserve to be hated on"

Thank GOD. Stream Almond Chocolate! It's apparently an OST for a movie but idk which movie
