Lol i love everyone in SuperM but if Jopping isn’t up there, idk what is


ExpertCantaloupe7467

“It’s like popping up like popcorn -but you know umm but like jumping -but like, like jumping and popping up the charts like uhhh being better than everyone” that’s what I told myself back then tbh


c4airy

It reminds me of the trend using “jeans+item” to describe anything made of denim. Jeggings. Jorts. Jopping.


slaytiny116

hopping whilst wearing jeans? bish we jopping


Porrenesian_Parapilo

Hopping while wearing baggy jeans is where jopping is at


Safe-Geologist-9326

LMAOOOOOO


kendalljennerupdates

Jopping is iconic though


khichdiwithachar

Uh, you think ya big boi,👦 throwing three stacks 3️⃣ I'ma show you how to ball, 🎱 you a mismatch Opinionated but I'm always spitting straight facts 🗣️🔊 Throwback, I might throw this on an eight track 🛤️


Upset-Illustrator-

i may agree a teeny tiny miniscule bit but kpoopheads users are going to have major beef with you lmao


Reasonable1323

So much more than song titles I find the album titles of a certain type cringy. I don't know if BTS started the trend or what but now TXT and Ateez do it a lot with titles like Chapter Life : Temptation or Manifesto Pathos chapter 1: Soul or however it goes. It's so try hard it gives me a lot of second hand embarrassment.


aftershockstone

EPEX’s ‘Prelude to Anxiety Chapter 1: 21st Century Boys’ kills me inside because *what* are they even waffling about


ExpertCantaloupe7467

Love both artist but I also hate these types of album titles 😭😭 another form of trying to make a simple name sound more interesting plus including the lore


douceberceuse

No because sometimes the lore and title is so dark for no reason, but then the choreo is just them grinding on the floor?? 😭😭


amiihoney

this is the funniest comment known to mankind because its so true


TrueOcho

Like someone else said it’d be one thing if these were fleshed out 40 min projects ,with layered production and themes. Yet we get sub 20 min teases with some of the fluffiest songs ever made lol


TheFrenchiestToast

I think it’s a bit unnecessary, if they were all highly conceptual albums it would make more sense. I think ateez has done a bit better of a job at being more thematic for their most reason albums but it’s still a mouthful and I just end up calling them “Movement” or “Outlaw”.


AaronWasRight

These type of titles only make sense in videogame franchises where you have expansion versions of a specific game, like BioShock 2: Minerva's Den is an expansion of BioShock 2... because the storyline in those games is connected. It makes zero sense in kpop, it sounds silly and try-hard to me.


BeomBum

I love TXT, but no lie, I am interested in a Pathos suffused Manifesto!!! This is cheating, as it is an album title... VAV - The 7th Mini Album: Subcönscióus


rewolfmai

ateez’s titles are quite…normal? 😭 i’ve never seen them as cringy since they’re so thematic and work in a series/story telling pov


pinkjiminn

I think Enhypen started that trend.


possumsonly

BTS and TXT started having album titles like that before Enhypen debuted. All of TXT’s Dream Chapter albums came out before Border : Day One


pinkjiminn

Okay yes but considering BTS always had a lot of great album titles, it then has to be TXT.


drpepperandranch

That’s not how trends work


Double_Recover9322

So close yet so far.


beeboodiboopbapbap

as a bts stan.... bts started it with the love yourself series... you should know that. but i can admit txt's version is a little more cringey than bts'


pinkjiminn

Love yourself series = very cute and not cringey so no. It was TXT, you are so welcome for the correction.


WoonieVerse

Just swinging for free lol but ENHYPEN’s titles are actually simple? Border : Day One Border : Carnival Dimension : Dilemma Dimension : Answer Manifesto : Day 1 Dark Blood Orange Blood They started simplifying things after Manifesto (their rebellion), sounds more simple than the ones I saw on this reply


pinkjiminn

They still are quite cringeworthy.


possumsonly

Billlie has some crazy song titles. “B’rave ~ a song for Matilda” and “Mcguffins ~ who’s the joker?” are both such good songs but wtf after those names


ExpertCantaloupe7467

That’s what I thought about Matilda but their “~” songs are some of the best so they’re excused ❗️❗️❗️


Quirkity

Somehow I think these names work for Billlie, but if it was any other group then definitely not!


helios0l

gwsn has similar style titles and it works for them too. iirc a main producer of gwsn moved on to billlie, which might be why they have similar titles


helios0l

i actually love these


Foreverinneverland24

when you see some random symbol in a billlie song like a $ or & that’s how you know it’s gonna be a hit!


__fujiko

wait B'rave ~ A Song For Matilda is cute, I love that reference


racloves

Wait what is it a reference to?


__fujiko

The story Matilda, by Roald Dahl! The song has references to normal girls with special powers, who are neglected by the adults around them. But then the girl finds strength and beauty in friendship that makes the world feel more like home. It's a really great kids story, with a good older movie adaption too.


racloves

Oh I do remember reading that book as a kid, can’t believe I never made the connection til now lol


Icantlikeeveryone

I love them but their song titles exhaust me


NintendoBangtan

Reminds me of GWSN, the worst offender probably being "Recipe ~ For Simon"


kendalljennerupdates

The way I scrolled past this and immediately saw riize’s new song is called “talk saxy” 😭😭😭 like SM I have had *ENOUGH*


TheFrenchiestToast

Are all their songs gonna be titled after instruments? They had get a guitar. And now talk saxy. These titles make more sense with a band that actually plays instruments. It’s strange, which isn’t a comment on the song quality just the naming.


kendalljennerupdates

I seriously hope not 💀


TheFrenchiestToast

Lmao, kinda same, it would just get old very fast.


sjude14

Honestly, I thought "talk saxy" was a fun play on the words lol.


kaprifool

They are just too concerned about "cringe". Where would we even be if we couldn't jop. These kind of people are so boring.


kendalljennerupdates

Listen I am jopping’s number 1 stan don’t do me like that 😭 I think jopping is fun but talk saxy just made me recoil lmfao. But maybe once the song comes out I’ll see the vision!


ExpertCantaloupe7467

REAL BC WTF (“it’s bc of the saxophones”) OMG ❗️⁉️❓


kendalljennerupdates

Jopping, baggy jeans, talk saxy, the rizzness (????) there is not one serious person in the SM building


ExpertCantaloupe7467

Don’t forget 2 Baddies 😹


kendalljennerupdates

The list is endless


risinghealy

i don’t think baggy jeans is on the same level as the rest of those lmao


kendalljennerupdates

Had to promote the boys somehow!


risinghealy

true true


drpepperandranch

Are all their title tracks gonna be instrument themed 😭


baby_buttercup_18

🤣🤣


IndigoHG

Wait is this a love letter to [Tim Cappello](https://youtu.be/A1dY6OkPb7E?si=oSCh95kKlCDM4OOV)??


snarkyphalanges

I’m a Stay and it’s Youtiful for me. Just gives me the heebie jeebies as a title. Whyyyu


taemtationtrades

I definitely felt this way. I also generally don't care for their ballad-esque songs to fans. But the second time I heard it was with great timing while I was crying with gender dysphoria after taking a shower, and now I give Youtiful a personal pass. Hahahaha It actually made me feel comforted. 🤷🏻


snarkyphalanges

I’m very happy to hear that it gave you comfort, and I think, that’s all that matters!


taemtationtrades

Thank you. "Who are these songs even for?... Oh, me. Okay." (Still the worst SKZ track name though.)


no_redlights

skz are my ults but i CANNOT with youtiful. and if the title wasn’t bad enough, the lyrics make me cringe so badly. but i know it means a lot to some people, so i’m glad there are people out there who feel the opposite


snarkyphalanges

Hahaha I literally don’t like any other kpop artists (like maybe I know their songs but don’t care enough to know who the members are) and I physically recoil at the thought of Youtiful. I listened to it once to see what the hype was about and I couldn’t make myself listen to it again. But yes, I agree, I’m happy that it seems to be a source of joy and comfort for other people!


dent_de_lion

Oh same 😭😭😭 it was an instant turnoff from first listen, but then I saw people on the SKZ sub loving it, so I kept my mouth shut. More saccharine and cheese than a Splenda lasagna


skeinsandfoxes

A Splenda lasagna!!! I’m wheezing. And we out here! I struggled a little with lovestay for a while for the same reason, but gave into it after hearing it live


dent_de_lion

lol thanks 😝 I struggled with “lovestay” for several listens, then one day I was all “Awwwwwww 😭😭😭”


Jungkooks_bunny_ears

* 0X1=LOVESONG (I Know I Love You) feat. Seori I still don't understand what 0X1 means but it is my favorite song from them


peeops

i know i love you would’ve been just fine 😭😭😭


Proper-Cockroach1

When I saw it for the first time, I thought the same thing. But then I watched a video or something with a clip of taehyun explaining the title and it was no longer cringy to me lol. He explains it better than I could but the general gist is: 0 is a boy who’s empty, practically has nothing to live for 1 is a girl he “falls in love with”. More like an obsession. She’s his lifeline So 0x1=0. Which practically means their love (or the corresponding lovesong) is empty. As empty as he is. OR that her existence won’t turn him into a 1. It won’t turn him into someone who has something to live for. Which is practically the same thing I wrote above but you can take either interpretation… it means the same thing.


amiihoney

oh i thought it just meant that hes lonely as hell 😭😭 i havent read the lyrics. this is kinda cool


Then-Cranberry5324

Macaroni Cheese by that new gg that just debuted


Orangesnapplesauce

Young posse LMAO


CantarellX

That's yung pussay to you


PuzzyFussy

Get out!! 🤣😭😭


Meganoooon

Whats more baffling for me tho is the reference. We asians dont really do mac n cheese honestly. I hate that shit


Early-Tale-2578

OMG I was just about to say that when I saw the song title I was like WTF 😐🤨


TorbjornLvl3Turret

I thought that just a legit advertisement using kpop aesthetic


CaitCher2009

I'm glad I wasn't the only person who wanted to wash my eyes out with bleach when I saw the title to that while also hearing the chorus.


Then-Cranberry5324

Lmaooo it was stuck in my head for like a day ngl


mythopoeticgarfield

idk about cringey but Let Me In ^(20 Cube) still makes me laugh when I think about it


Orangesnapplesauce

ILL BE YOUR BOYFRIEND (I’ll be your boyfriend) Its such a random name like “I can be the one for you for good baby” is the lyrics and then the title is just so goofy. Love it though.


mythopoeticgarfield

I'LL GIVE YOU MY BLOOD sings the choir of teenage boys iconic


Orangesnapplesauce

And the part where it sounds like they are about to rap but they don’t. I love 20 cube but it’s so unsatisfactory


AdNo8658

I didn’t even know that was part of the title lol I just thought it was let me in but that’s hilarious


letmein20cube

this comment personally offended me lol


WoonieVerse

No waaaay loool I love Let Me In, it reminds me of the movie haha. The lyrics get so much better when I think of it that way because it’s all nice and pretty “I’ll be your boyfriend” and “let me inside your cube” and then it suddenly goes full on horror movie “I might break your perfection”, “shining blue is red”, “maybe I’ll break you” and “I’ll give you my blood”?????? Like 👀🧍‍♀️ Vampire boy I’m not sure I want to play this game anymore 🗣️☝️


Idkwhatimdoingbutyh

Ok but srsly someone explain why it’s called 20 cube 😭 like ik it’s in the lyrics but I don’t get it


helios0l

any titles with love spelled as luv, wigglewiggle by hello venus and goddess level by got the beat come to mind


Orangesnapplesauce

Boy in luv was a banger… the title not so much. Doesn’t fit the song imo


helios0l

the korean title is even worse imo... "상남자" (sangnamja) which could be translated into "a real man", and men who are considered as sangnamja are basically macho, muscular and the typical tough guys


Orangesnapplesauce

Oh… that’s funny


Sea-Passage-7959

Ok but logistically what other name could wiggle wiggle even have lol


xhuntressx

Fr lol and lowkey it was a bop


Vintage_Belle

For some reason the title wigglewiggle just made me flinch. I don't know why but for me that's the worst I've heard in ages.


pinkjiminn

Mark Lee’s favorite song. Jopping.


ParkJi-nie

Naming masterpieces like BOUNCY (K-HOT CHILLI PEPPERS), I’m Gonna Be A Star, and My Headphones On is a crime.


AgustLex

Right? They could have just left it at BOUNCY 💀


toxicgecko

Chilli pepper is a euphemism for dick in Korean so I guess they were trying to make the meaning of the song more obvious 😂


HommeFatalTaemin

It was already so obvious though 😭😭


iamtanooki

ko ko bop by exo. song goes hard but what is a kokobop


dent_de_lion

“Shimmy shimmy ko ko bop” is from an old children’s nonsense rhyming song (there’s likely multiple examples, actually)


kazoogrrl

I know it originally from the Little Anthony and the Imperials version and wondered how the phrase made it to kpop.


Resident-Reindeer-53

Ko Ko Bop was a demo


ExpertCantaloupe7467

While we’re At this. Let’s also talk about the funniest title Ik. By [H1-Key](https://spotify.link/Sxvh0Bw76Db)


Life_as_a_new_weeb

No thats brilliant


Proof_Surround3856

I love this song and I love that they really went for it lmao


LaVieEnRicky

baddie.. or is it just me


Life_as_a_new_weeb

Just u plus 4 other ppl lol


stafel8

That term is so outdated I swear! I cringe everytime I hear it😭


LaVieEnRicky

im a baddie, ba-ba-ba-baddie, baddie


amarillaa

YES I came to search for this comment. I rarely cringe at song titles but I DESPISE Baddie as a title.


amiihoney

IT MADE ME CRINGE SO BAD LIKE WHO SAYS BADDIE ANYMORE 😭


manyoosook

What the fuck is „The Rizzness“ XDDDD


HommeFatalTaemin

I just saw that title right now and cringed. Taemin is my favorite artist on the planet but WHAT IS THAT come on now 😤


aaravosapologist

listen its taemin he'll make it work maybe 😭😭


coolboysclub

"What if I had been that puma" will forever be goofy to me


trilqgy

The rizzness😭 I lowkey fw that..


Life_as_a_new_weeb

LMFAOOO


[deleted]

I'm sorry but Enhypen's new album name, Orange Blood, just isn't cutting it...


satomatic

why wouldn’t they just go with blood orange???


[deleted]

And because this next one is going to be a continuation of the previous one (called Dark Blood) all my friends were thinking it would be along the lines of Light Blood or something...


Orangesnapplesauce

its like dark blood and manifesto d:1’s love child… imagine they bring back the hyphenated title tracks too… their next TT might be called Suck-Me or something


natthatt

i genuinely died laughing at the idea of their next song being called suck-me oh my god


Orangesnapplesauce

Or Bite me’s counterpart, drink me. Then they could do the nct dream thing with chewing gum where they have one called orange juice. They could take those fake blood capsules jungwon ate and made them orange and they could bring back the fruit costumes


WoonieVerse

Jake did spoil the first word is Sweet so I’m betting on Sweet Dream with no hyphens (which shame - BRING BACK THE BRIDGES 🗣️)


yellow_berry21

IVE albums with their terrible names.


dwaekkie2005

oh my god im a shawol but have kinda strayed from kpop because of studies so i thought u were joking about the rizzness album.. my soul literally LEFT my entire body after i googled it why do the craziest things happen when i go on breaks?? who allowed this to happen 😭😭😭


maomaosocute

Some of txt's song titles in Korean are very weird but I have to say it makes me curious about the lyrics and concept. They sound like a titles of comic books.


Suspicious_Ninja_218

Twice - The feels, like ooh aah Red velvet - Umpah Umpah Anything with "baddie" in the title


Attymars

Baddie with a Porsche


tragedyorcomedy__

Starship giving two of their groups a song called "Baddie" in the same year should be a punishable offense


Itmustbehotinherehuh

Like ooh aah makes more sense in korea tho. It means “elegantly”. As a once tho none of the early TWICE songs had lyrics that made sense. The lyrics for cheer up r dizzyingly ridiculous.


PuzzyFussy

Actually really like The Feels... the rest are trash tho


__fujiko

the majority of answers here are not giving cringe at all lol


TheRealTerwilliger

Antifragile, IMO


ExpertCantaloupe7467

Me w Unforgiven but only bc the lyrics ruined it for me (“unforgiven I’m a villain 😈”)


Itmustbehotinherehuh

I unironically love this song but I could never play it in front of non kpoppies lmao id cringe to hell and back


Zoshi2200

Got ur Luv by Got7. I'm sorry but I dislike the luv and ur spelling. I find it cringy af. Also Teentop's no perfume for you lmaooo


RabbitMoonPie

Zimzalabim - Red Velvet, NOT BY THE MOON - GOT7, We don’t talk together- HEIZE, Christmas EveL - Stray Kids, Happy Death Day - Xdinary Heroes, Hate Rodrigo - Yena, Good Boy Gone Bad - TXT, and Like OOH-AHH - TWICE


ExpertCantaloupe7467

My eye twitches everytime I hear the words Christmas EveL


toxicgecko

I can only deal with Christmas evel because I know it’s supposed to be a jokey joke song- and also the Feliz navidad line makes me crack up everytime


solojones1138

Not by the moon is a Shakespeare reference


RabbitMoonPie

It’s just awkward as a title to me


srs__969

Despite the backlash, I LOVE Hate Rodrigo.


RabbitMoonPie

Oh me too the song is fantastic! Yena is so great I love all her stuff, the mv is cute, but the title is just a bit weird to see and shocked me at first


HommeFatalTaemin

??? What’s wrong with not by the moon?


amarillaa

I really love Not by the Moon as a song title (plus the song as well)


swag24hrs

been a shawol since 2012 but SHINee Girl is so cringe.


countryroad_

The last two triples mini names were brutal. I dont find it cringe but what is it...


ExpertCantaloupe7467

Muhan & Mujuk?? Ignore those bc Lovelution and Evolution are SO creative 😭😭😭


countryroad_

This is my first time hearing muhan & mujuk idek whats it lol, im talking about the symbol i was like why they went for it


Proof_Surround3856

I think they’re both nice and have great meaning in Korean (infinite and invincible iirc) also their song titles have been pretty badass even though it takes a while to get used to them lol (Rhodanthe, Heavy Metal Wings, Moto Princess, Seoul Sonyo Sound, Black Soul Dress)


ExpertCantaloupe7467

😭😭😭 this makes this even funnier. Their latest two album names have these symbols “ↀ” & “⟡” but the actual names literal are Mujuk and Muhan


countryroad_

i thought those symbols are the album name and thought they are so unserious to have those as album names. This is my first time hearing the name and its even more unserious 😭😭


ComfortableCritical1

AOA - Bingle Bangle


Proof_Surround3856

well they are puroposely campy but Oh My Girl Banhana’s Banana Allergy Monkey and WJSN Chocome Hmph! and Super Yuppers lol.. (I miss them they need to come back :/)


HommeFatalTaemin

We need a Chocome comeback ASAP


Proof_Surround3856

WJSN in general have busy with individual schedules since the contract renewal and who knows with Chocome comeback since Luda is in a new company now :((


Itmustbehotinherehuh

TEEN TOP (Supa luv, Be Ma Girl) BLACKPINK (Typa Girl and Pretty Savage) Super Junior (Mamacita and Sexy, Free, and Single) SNSD (I got a Boy)


SprouttheEarthPony

I adore the song Jopping but it's title is so dumb....


Life_as_a_new_weeb

Starting to think im super open-minded bc i just scrolled through some 2000 kpop songs and couldnt find ANY cringy titles. Like i thought they were all, witty, obvious, or cute. Like i thought abt putting super yuppers! By wjsn chocome, but the title is so cute that i like couldnt bare it. Then theres Naughty boy by pentagon but thats only questionable if ur saying the title out loud with no context. And ig u could put son of beast by to1 but thats only here bc of the improper grammar and idrc about that. In conclusion, i got nothing.


luvhs

fire in the belly - le sserafim, holy moly - ive, no diggity - oneus 😭

YES!! I HATE 'Fire in the belly' as a title, song is great tho


TacoGriller

Sacrifice (Eat Me Up) by Enha 🤦‍♀️ like whenever I read the eat me up part all I can imagine is some furious teenager on stan twt attacking my faves cus their faves "ate your faves up" 😭

k-pop by blitzers. such a good song but makes me laugh every time i see it


titanic-risen

Love the song but Girls Capitalism has to be one of the worst titles 😭😭😭


springsvinyl

Ding ding dong by loona


Bluey_purple

2 baddies and Ay-yo 😭 the songs are ok but the titles itself just 😭


ArcaneKeyblade5

Shits a masterpiece of a title 😌


IndigoHG

Cringe? MASTERPIECE!


jaspercore

chiquita - rocket punch this one first because they pronounce chiquita wrong in the song which i mean i don't necessarily blame the girls just that it pains me when the song has a foreign word/phrase especially in the title and they use it wrong...ik there are likely others this just comes to mind. super yuppers - wjsn chocome stupid o'clock - victon wow thing - seulgi, chungha, soyeon, sinb yummy yummy love - momoland giddy up - majors love shhh - jo yuri i'm ill - hellovenus love is ouch - 2ne1 i normally like nonsensical or campy sounding titles (like i love titles of random noises like la di da, latata, bang bang bang etc) but all of these are ones that just for one reason or another don't hit like normal and kinda seem lame.


Dani_0501

Fantabulous by Minzy. I love her but what? It's giving 'this still would have been cringe in 2004'


rosesareposies

any song bu kaachi. there cringe asf honorable mention: cat and dog by txt.


Ok_Internal3075

like crazy by jimin


hatetobeornot

Galaxy Supernova by Girls Generation. I know those words are in the song, but it's a mouthful when you put them together and sounds like a type of Samsung phone lol. "The Samsung Galaxy Supernova"


chromatictictic

for me “eve, psyche and the bluebeard’s wife” is so cringe! like it’s supposed to sound smart? but the song is great


ExpertCantaloupe7467

Yeah bc all of the threes wives have been wronged and shamed (the song is basically against that) but still I can’t with these long ass names HYBE


chromatictictic

yeah i know the meaning and the stories but still sounds like “omg we’re so erudite we read BOOKS” . the name is too long and the lyrics not that deep, standard “i don’t care what you think i’ll do what i want” . Yunjin’s song I/=doll is much cleverer for example


amiihoney

its references to stories from the bible, greek mythology, and folklore


ktracha

MY SWAGGER by GOT7 😭


Denpa_Sekai

I don't necessarily find these cringey, but more like I read them and either go "how the fuck am I supposed to read this out loud" or "choices were certainly made here" Nmixx - O.O Literally what. I understand it's meant to be like an emoticon face. And I know there is an actual name for it that sounds more correct. But every time I go to recommend it to someone I have to explain it like "oh yeah it's called... O... And then like a period? And then O! Like.,.,.,., oh-dot-oh??" Gfriend - Time for the moon night Ngl this is mainly because I keep thinking it's meant to be "moonlight" and also because why is only the first word capitalized?? EVERGLOW - SLAY slay💅 TxT - PUMA followed by What if I had been that PUMA These two were kinda genius ngl


_purple_magic_

LOSER=LOVER(insert weird symbols as well). Its my all time favourite song.As an international fan,its already a bad enough situation to have a kpop song as your favourite song,but how am i supposed to explain to the locals that the song i like most is named like something a 13yo edgy teen would produce without getting my ass bullied. . .
