Hey there! Well if you must know.

I adore the AU where Merida is a spirit, I think it has to do with the whole RotBTD's era. Good times.

Oh! Pokemon AU! It's not widely seen but I did a couple of posts on it and I just-

i know nothing and i'm curious

Do you know that tiktok audio with the "I've waited years to tell somebody about my theories"? That was me right now, thank you very much :DDDD

Ok so this is kinda hard because kpop is like just the industry. It's basically pop music but in a different language, Korean. There are mostly groups, boygroups and girlgroups. There is one kinda famous "co-ed group" tho and one that disbanded.

Every group consists of multiple members, they perform as a group and mostly live together. Some groups have so called "Sub-units" which are like a group consisting of some members of that group, but not all of them. Some of them also get solo careers, but to that later.

Then we got entertainments. They are the companies which groups work for. Most of the entertainments form the groups by putting trainees together (it's kinda like an academy I guess. You get scouted, train at the entertainment and might eventually be part of a group). The "big 3" aka the most famous entertainments are JYP, YG and SM.

That's why Bts was kinda surprising, their entertainment (Bighit) wasn't popular at all back in 2013, but now they are probably the one with the most money (Justin Bieber is also under Bighit in some weird way)

Bts are obviously the most popular group I'm pretty sure you've heard atleast one song of them (dynamite) and blackpink are the most popular girlgroup (which I honestly don't understand but that's something for another time).

Some other popular boygroups: Exo, Nct, SHINee, Stray Kids, Txt, Ateez, The Boyz, Enhypen

Some other popular girlgroups: Twice, Mamaamoo, Loona, Itzy, G-idle, -Iz*one (I don't knoe to many cause am a bg stan lol)

The most complicated group to understand is probably Nct, cause they are 23 members, divided in 3 units rn (127, Dream and WayV (their Chinese unit) but two of their members aren't in a fixed unit yet and they had NCT 2020 last year where all 23 of them did some songs together. Then they also got Nct U which is a unit that always has different members everytime they release something.

The only fully selfmade group currently is Stray Kids (and I pride myself on that). Their leader Bangchan picked the members himself, his handwriting is their logo and they write and produce their songs themselves.

Then there's K-bands. They are basically like the groups but without the dance because they play the instruments. The most famous one is without a doubt Day6 (everybody loves them and they are called "The nations band"). Some others are: The Rose, N.flying, Onewe, Lucy, IZ, Eden

The last thing I can think of rn are Soloists, basically solo artists aka like every western artist, just a single person. The most famous ones are probably: some girls I can't remember, HyunA and DAWN, (they are a duo now aswell, but before she did solo stuff and he was in a group and then did solo), CL (the first female idol to attend the met gala btw), Kang Daniel, and some idols who are part of groups also have a solo carreer aswell (Baekhyun, Kai, Taemin, the blackpink members, some Red Velvet members aswell)

There is also a thing called "Isaacs" (I have no clue how to spell it lol) which is a sports competition where many groups compete against eachother in different categories like archery, sprint, etc...

I mean this is very advanced but rip Emily’s place when we get there

One of the only things on my iPad camera roll that’s not Alex or Marc related and still it is
