- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I love some random foreign artists that I don't speak the language of and can't understand at all - Saian Supa Cru, Dengue Fever, Kent, Sigur Ros, Vicentico.
On a side note, I saw BTS on UK TV once and thought it was some kind of comedy pastiche act. What I heard and saw was really terrible, yet the panel on the show were lauding them when it was over, and I just didn't understand. K-pop is likely not for me, I figure.
k-pop fans are very toxic and some of them even harbour Anti-Japanese sentiment which is a racist & misinformed sentiment
I'm not accusing the entire k-pop fandom of being like this but their are obviously factions within the fandom who can be very vocal and very hateful fueled by anger & negativity
Edit: typo that changed the meaning of what I was saying
K-Pop is for eight-year-olds. It absolutely seems like a joke the first time you see it.
K and J pop is absolutely grating to my ears, but they're billion dollar industries for a reason. They took the west's version of boy and girl bands from 30 years ago and turned it up to 11.
They certainly did.
I'm not a fan either, though in terms of musicianship and songwriting quality most of it is far above contemporary american pop. I completely understand why kids would prefer that to the endless "three chords and autotune without a hook" slop.
k-pop can still be bad even when it's better then american slop
Yes, that's probably true. I assume somebody is still making good music, but it doesn't seem to be reaching me.
I'm curious what you saw. Was it their Graham Norton show appearance? I didn't like that performance either. Afaik they were at their worst.
One of them couldn't be there and another had a hurt foot, and they've said how self conscious the rest of them were to be missing those two.
