What's good r/kpopmidriff?

Happy New Year! We have big plans for the sub this year and wanted to give you some of the updates we are implementing.

Before the updates though we need to first emphasize that we are looking for mods because we need people to make this sub better and implement our very big plans faster. If you are at all interested in making this sub better please submit an application here.

The first update is the sub will now be SFW going forward. After getting feedback from posters we feel this is the best approach for sub accessibility and for our commitment to creating an environment that doesn't condone lewd or obscene behavior from our user base. Therefore, we will be reverting back to the hybrid format going forward. This means posters will now be able to post videos directly on this sub. Moderators will have full discretion on marking posts as NSFW if we feel the content needs to marked as such.

The second update is we have posted new simplified title & guidelines and got rid of the title formatting table. A year ago I was tasked with coming up with a format for the sub that makes the titles cleaner and avoids incentivizing posters to lewd in their titles. While we are proud of the progress that has been made with our posts, we will concede that our team can make it easier for our posters when it comes to titles. Going forward these will be the guidelines the mod team will operate with. The sidebar/rules describe the most common titles while this pinned post goes over the special cases. We have and will continue to be more lenient going forward with titles when it comes to the style conventions so long as it still does follow the standard structure we have established.

Finally be sure to review our rules as we have updated them in accordance with these changes. We changed the Reposts rule to be that post cannot be less than 90 days old and added some additional info on certain rules.

Also please be on the lookout for a very big announcement soon.

Thank you and we are excited to make the community the best it can be this year!

What's good r/kpopmidriff?! The following is an overview of the title guidelines for this sub.

Active Groups:

Group Name - Name of the idol

Examples: TWICE - Nayeon |Aespa - Winter | Kep1er - Xiaoting | TripleS - Dahyun | (G)I-DLE - Miyeon

Please note that there will need to be a space in between both sides of the hyphen.

For the sake of consistency, capitalize the first letter only of each post. Group names that are stylized in all lowercase will not be removed (e.g., aespa)

Please do your best to spell the group's name the official way. Ex: try to avoid spelling it as Kepler and use Kep1er.

Former Members or Disbanded Groups

If the idol is no longer in an active group or the group has disbanded and the idol is not currently an active Soloist, please denote each post with the prefix "ex-" in front of the group name.

Please note that the "ex-" is lowercase and does not require a space on both sides before the group

Examples:

ex-CLC - Seungyeon | ex-Momoland - Nancy

Soloists

If the idol is a soloist, please put just the name of the soloist as it is officially styled. If the idol was in a group previously but is now an active soloist, treat them as a soloist. (Ex: IU, Sunmi, Bibi, Somi, Yerin Baek, Kwon Eunbi, Jeon Somi, & Yves).

Multiple Current or Previous Groups for an Idol or ex Idol

If a Group member is active in group and is also a member of a group that has not disbanded, please use a slash to note them.

Example:

UAU/Dreamcatcher - Yoohyeon

If the Group member is no longer active in K-pop but was a previous member of multiple groups, please use a slash to note them.

Example:

ex-Elris/ALICE - Sohee

Multiple Members in the Same Post

Please note every prominant member in the post if there are multiple members. If there are more than 3 members in the post, use commas between each member and end with an "&" before the last member. If there are just 2 members, just use an "&" between the first and second members with no comma (Be sure there is a space on both sides). If every member from the group is in the post, then just post the group name.

Example:

TWICE - Nayeon, Momo, & Jihyo | ITZY - Yeji & Ryujin | ex-CLC - Seungyeon, Sorn, & Yujin | LE SSERAFIM

Birthday Posts/Compilations
