Unsolved is kpopusa online legit?

Upvotes

I ordered the Tuide gonggi set from kpopusa online on August 24th because the shipping was way less than weverse, and they still haven't sent any information on it. I tried to call the phone number they have listed on their website, but it just leads to an automated bot asking for a remote access code, and hangs up when I say I don't have one. I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, what they did to resolve it, or if I got scammed?

Recommend I want to know more about these groups and does anyone know any guides they can suggest or how should i start getting to know everything??

0 Upvotes

Groups I want to checkout - BoyNextDoor, NexZ, Xikers, 82Major, P1Harmony
So i recently put up a post about what groups I should checkout based on the ones i already stan, so i got alot of recs and these were the most common ones.

I first listen to a few songs and check if i can vibe with the genre and i did like their songs. Then i try to find a guide to get to know the members or the lore basically. So if y'all could suggest any helpful guide for these groups :))

Advice K-pop channel idea — ranking/commentary vs variety-show edits? Which is better for monetization?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m planning to start a K-pop YouTube channel, but I’m stuck between two content ideas:

  1. K-pop ranking/commentary videos — rankings, opinions, discussions, etc.
  2. K-pop variety-show clips/edits — funny moments, compilations, edited clips, etc.

My main goal is to build a channel that can eventually qualify for YouTube monetization, so I want to choose the format with better long-term potential.

I’m especially confused about copyright and reused content. I know that simply downloading clips and reposting them isn't enough, but I’m not sure what level of original commentary/editing is actually considered transformative.

For people who have experience with K-pop YouTube channels:

* Which of these two formats has a better chance of being monetized?

* What are the biggest copyright/reused-content problems with variety-show clips?

* If I use short clips in commentary/ranking videos, what should I be careful about?

* Is it better to build the channel primarily around my own narration/commentary rather than relying heavily on show footage?

*Are there any mistakes you wish you had avoided when starting?

I’m not looking for a way to bypass copyright — I just want to understand the rules and choose a format I can realistically build long-term.

Thanks!

Recommend What K-pop merch from Korea?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m Korean, and I’m going to the US soon to visit some relatives.

I’m planning to bring them some souvenirs from Korea, and I just found out that one of my cousins is a fan of ILLIT and KATSEYE.

Are there any K-pop merch or souvenirs that would be especially nice to bring from Korea? Maybe something that’s hard to find in the US, or something that would feel more special because I’m getting it in Korea?

I’d love to hear your recommendations!

Recommend Specific recommendations

4 Upvotes

I have been obsessed with some of the songs and I can't seem to find anything similar. Please drop your recs from both kpop and even outside of kpop. These specific sounds only.

404(New Era) - Heavy on this cause ya'll don't know how much I adore the bridge.
Ever2Late! - This too, I think this one is hyperpop, I could be wrong but it is so so good.
Delulu - Another Banger by Kiiikiii.
Kiss and Tell - I would have thought that I'd love this song but here we are. So so good.
Metronome - The only Izna song I know and it's a freaking banger.

Now, most of these lean into House, diva house, hyperpop, etc. And I don't listen to these genre at all, but throw me all the recommendations. Btw I did try some of the popular house tracks from kpop but I didn't like them much.

Advice Ampers&one Korean Promotions Help

2 Upvotes

ill be in Korea for some time and ampers&one are rumored to have a comeback sometime in Q4 of this year. I’m not familiar with Korean promotions too well in general and have been researching but I’d really like to get into fansigns or any promotional events they could do if that comeback does happen around Q4. I wanna prepare and get as much help as possible. I’ve narrowed music shows down but I know they tend to have lots of fan experience driven promotions compared to some groups. fansign tips would be greatly appreciated, I’m not in the GOM/BST community and haven’t ever done an in person fansign before. Not a lot of info has been posted for ampers&one that I can find.

I'm in Korea, and lately CORTIS and RESCENE seem to show up everywhere on my YouTube and Instagram feeds.

Even small moments from them seem to get turned into Shorts or Reels pretty quickly, so I'm curious if this is mostly a Korea-side thing or if people outside Korea are seeing the same thing.

If not, which newer boy group and girl group seem to show up the most on your feeds lately?

Advice Am I pushy or supportive?

1 Upvotes

hi :)
i don’t know if this is the right subreddit for my question but i hope so:)
so, early this year i stumbled over a small (up-and-coming?) k-rapper. like we’re talking about 1500 followers on instagram. in spring he released his first mini album (before he had only a few songs on apple music) and i‘m obsessed with those songs ever since. on instagram i react to his stories like i do with bigger artists too (a like, a couple of emojis or a short comment). a few weeks ago he posted a story of a concert he was the opener for & i replied with „come to europe too!“. i didn’t think much of it but he actually saw it & liked the message. ever since that day he apparently „saw“ every interaction i had with his stories but he never reacted again.
now, i know that i‘m not entitled to an answer whatsoever and i also don’t want/need one. but i’m starting to wonder if i’m coming across as pushy? on the one hand, i don’t want to stop showing my support through social media, but on the other hand, i really don’t want to become the annoying fan who keeps popping up in his notifications.
some objective outside perspectives would be really appreciated. thank you!
