The current situation of Kpop: The music is too boring, BTS and IU are both disappointing, while the 4th Gen is even worse

Many people are also raising questions about the real quality of Kpop works in recent times.
Recently, there’s a largely discussed topic on a Korean fan forum, related to how disappointing songs these days are compared to before. According to the author’s opinion, in the past, Kpop had a lot of songs worth listening to but now it’s really boring.

Specifically, the writer thinks that IU is a typical example. The song Lilac released in early 2021 had very good results, but the only reason is because it was sung by IU. Her later songs are quite disappointing.

Besides, this article also mentions many prominent names in the current Kpop music industry, or typical representatives of Kpop 3rd generation such as BTS, BLACKPINK, TWICE, Red Velvet or SEVENTEEN. The writer thinks that Dynamite, Butter or Permission To Dance are all good songs but the lyrics are in English. BLACKPINK is disappointing because it has been a long time without new works.

In particular, the recent songs of 4th gen groups have brought about a lot of controversy. The songs of aespa, STAYC, Stray Kids, TXT, (G)I-DLE, or IVE all have a very hard to absorb music quality. Or most recently, fans have been looking forward to the debut of the JYP’s newest girl group NMIXX, but the song has received negative feedback because of the chaotic and disconnected feeling of the song.
