K-Pop Songs or Music Videos That Are Peter Pan-themed/inspired

Posted on


It was only after TXT’s recent comeback that made me realize that many K-Pop songs and music videos are Peter Pan-themed or inspired. I mean, it really is a childhood favorite for many as it has a fun magical theme, with lots of different components you can work with, so it is no surprise that many would love to work around the theme. There are countless others that do Peter Pan-themed songs or music videos, but here are some of them!

TXT – Farewell, Neverland

It is a song very much relatable for those in their twenties, struggling, and aren’t ready yet to face adult life (same here). It is a very bittersweet song for those not ready to leave their teens, but you know you have to. 

U-KISS – Neverland

Travel back in time to 11 years ago with this one. This song is so underrated; it definitely deserved a win or two during its time. The group even got hurt a lot while filming this music video because it was the most challenging choreography they had done. 

April – Tinker Bell

You cannot tell me this isn’t one of the cutest songs to ever exist? If my pockets are big enough, I would love to keep all of these cute tinker bells in my pockets!

ChoColat – Black Tinkerbell

This is 2nd generation K-Pop’s rare gem, and it aged like fine wine. Nine years later, it’s still such a good song that deserves more recognition. 

EXO – Peter Pan

This is a classic EXO song. Not only is it an enjoyable song that makes you want to fly with them whenever they perform this at their concert, but the lyrics about Peter Pan (EXO) looking for their Wendy, while EXO-Ls are the Tinkerbell, who will stay and love them whatever happens, means so much. 

Boyfriend – Obsession

Sorry I keep taking you all back in time (am I really sorry?). For this one, their music video is Peter Pan-themed, and it fits them so well!

SNSD – Tinkerbell

2008 – Omg, how old was everyone then? But I really could not leave out this magically beautiful song from the queens of K-Pop. 

HA:TFELT – Peter Pan

Okay, so who should I talk to in Disney to have this song as the OST for the new Peter Pan remake? Don’t you just love the airy feeling this song gives you? It’s just so enchanting. 

GFriend – Neverland

If you ever need flying background music for absolutely anything, this is the song for you. Something about this song and the girls’ energy kind of makes you feel like you’re on cloud 9. 

Weki Meki – Neverland

These underrated queens truly do have some of the best b-sides in K-Pop, and this song is proof. I absolutely love the song as it is, but if they were to make a remix of it with a slightly faster beat, I am sure they will be sweeping wins left and right. 

ATEEZ – Illusion 

If you know ATEEZ, you know the group is heavily Pirate-lored, and guess who also has Pirates in their story? Yes, Peter Pan! Here’s a great write-up explaining how they incorporate the Peter Pan theme. ATEEZ never cease to amaze me with the stories and themes in their songs and music videos. 

Seventeen – Darl+ing

This is the group’s first English song as a whole group, and although the lyrics don’t seem to hint at any Peter Pan reference, the music video does have a hint of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys reference, despite it not being explicit. 

woo!ah! -Purple 

The title of the song isn’t Peter Pan related, but the lyrics contain the line “My Peter Pan, Pan, 데려가 줘 Neverland” (My Peter Pan, Pan, bring me to Neverland.).

Stray Kids – Airplane

Aladin isn’t the only one showing a whole new world to his girl, Peter Pan does the same too, and that is what Stray Kids is singing in this song as they sing; “Girl, I will show you Neverland, I’m your Peter Pan”

Leenzy – PETER PAN. She’s a lesser-known solo artist, but her voice is so lovely.

If you don’t know her, I am doing you a huge favor. You would be thankful to have stumbled upon this amazing artist. She has a very lovely, seductive, sexy, and breathy voice. 

AB6IX – Sugarcoat 

This song is an absolutely sweet song, and Woojin also raps, “I am now Peter Pan, you are my Tinkerbell.” But you know what’s cuter? They made a cute hand gesture for Tinkerbell, too, for music show stages during this part.



Idols Who are big K-Pop Fans themselves

Posted on


Before becoming idols, there are many idols who are K-Pop fans themselves, and that’s how most of them sparked their dream of becoming idols. They dream of being like the people they look up to, and it’s the cutest thing to see how similar they are to us as fans, when they get all excited about their favorite idols! Here are some idols that are K-Pop fans themselves.

SHINee Fans

SEVENTEEN Hoshi

Hoshi has never been shy about admitting that he’s a huge fan of SHINee, and everyone knows it. Fans would buy him a SHINee lightstick and give it to him as a gift at SEVENTEEN fan sign events. Hoshi’s been a fan from a young age and specified that he is Key’s fan in particular. Hoshi revealed in a fan cafe post that it was the SHINee‘s SHINee World and the repackaged AMIGO albums that sparked his dream of becoming an idol.

TXT Taehyun

Despite being only six years old when SHINee’s song “Replay” was released, Taehyun said that he was inspired to become an idol after watching the music video of the hit song. Taehyun also became a successful fanboy after receiving an invitation from Taemin to eat out together. The invitation would have to wait a little longer until Taemin is discharged from his mandatory military service.

Enhypen Ni-Ki

If only we all could be as lucky as Ni-Ki, who is such a big fan of SHINee from a young age. He even had the chance to perform on stage with SHINee at the Tokyo Dome. After performing, Ni-Ki became so overwhelmed with emotion that he began crying, but sweetheart Key gave him a reassuring hug. 

Monsta X Fans

WEi Yongha

Yongha, who introduced himself as a “Monsta X” fan as one of his charming points, is also nicknamed “Yongbebe.” To show his love for the group, he even suggested that his group perform “Love Killa” for the Weekly Playlist” segment during their appearance on Weekly Idol.

ATEEZ Jongho

Jongho is also another proud Monbebe, and a successful one too! He received an autographed “Shoot Out” album, and his members said that he has been a fan long before that and was excited to have received the gift.

BTS Fans

IZ*ONE & IVE Yujin

Here’s a life glow-up story. Before attending the Melon Music Awards as an IZ*ONE member, she attended the award show as an ARMY back in 2016. She was seen in the audience with a BTS lightstick as she screamed with joy when the boy group won the Daesang for that year. For those who may be skeptical if that is truly Yujin, she has personally addressed it herself.

ATEEZ Wooyoung

If fans have to take a shot every time Wooyoung fanboyed over BTS, we’d all be so drunk. There are so many moments where Wooyoung proves that he is the biggest ARMY yet. From only remembering Jimin’s birthday, and not his fellow members, to getting excited seeing a Jungkook poster hanging in a fan’s room during a video call fan meet, he is relatable when he turns into an absolute fanboy for BTS!

Stray Kids Seungmin – DAY6

It’s no secret that Stray Kids member Seungmin is the biggest DAY6 fan. To show his love for his sunbaenims, he has uploaded many covers of their songs and cutely fanboy about the group in different interviews and VLIVEs. It must also make him feel over the moon that fans often say that he looks like Wonpil from DAY 6. 

The Boyz Juyeon & Eric – EXO

Both Juyeon and Eric are known to be huge EXO fans, and they proved it when they did a VLIVE of just them dancing to several EXO songs. What was more surprising was that Eric danced to “They Never Know,” an underrated gem unknown to non-EXO-Ls or even some new fans. Eric even performed Sehun’s solo dance to the song, which only true fans can remember.

Mirae Junhyuk – ATEEZ

Junhyuk has been very vocal about Yunho being his role model. He even wrote him a sweet letter after learning that his favorite group would be on a radio show the following week that his group was on. A year after, Junhyuk’s dreams as a fan came true when he got to meet and talk to Yunho in person on Idol Radio 3! He was so overwhelmed he could not hold back his tears.

The Boyz, Kevin & Jacob – Sam Kim

How would you react when you’re casually working, and the very person you look up to as an artist just walks in? That is exactly how Kevin and Jacob were when they saw Sam Kim walking into their snack shop. These two Canadians are such huge fans of the very talented singer, and they even got the opportunity to perform for him. 

Momoland Jane – INFINITE

When you go from taking photos of your favorite idols and rooting them on to standing next to them for a music show, you’d be as nervous as Jane too. Prior to debuting with Momoland, Jane used to be a fansite master for the group INFINITE. She used to run the account ‘Baby’s Breath’ for INFINITE members L and Sunggyu under the nickname ‘Pudding.’ 

SHINee Key – BoA

Just because Key is looked up to by many does not mean he does not have his own idol that he looks up to. Key is a huge fan of the undisputed queen of K-Pop, BoA. Being in the same label has given the opportunity two of them to grow closer than ever. Key is living all of our dreams to be best friends with his idol.

Eight Popular K-Pop groups where fans want to see sub-units

Posted on


In the K-Pop industry, having a sub-unit within the group is pretty ubiquitous. There are many subunits formed by both big and small groups. A sub-unit helps in showcasing more individual colors and talents of the members. Rap line units, rap/vocal units, dance line units, and vocal line units are some of the common units that can be found in K-Pop. But even after their popularity peaked, several well-known groups still do not have a sub-unit. Here are eight of these groups where fans want to see sub-units.

BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK earned the title of “The biggest girl group in the world.” It’s been six years since their debut, but still, BLACKPINK doesn’t have a sub-unit. Fans think this is the right time to form a sub-unit, and there is a high demand from fans for Chaelisa, Jenlisa, Chaennie, Chaesoo, and Jensoo sub-units. Blinks are disappointed with BLACKPINK’s agency YG Entertainment for not yet creating a sub-unit for the group.

BTS

Despite being the most popular K-Pop group, BTS hasn’t formed a sub-unit yet. Debuted in 2013, BTS has been in the industry for nine years. There are plenty of unit songs like “Luv In Skool,” “Zero O’clock” by the vocal line, “Intro: Skool Luv Affair,” “UGH!” by the rap line, etc. However, BigHit Entertainment hasn’t officially labeled those works as sub-units.

TWICE

Although TWICE is the largest group of JYP Entertainment, there is still no sub-unit. Recently all nine members of the girl group renewed their contract with the agency and made a comeback. There are rumors circulating around the web that TWICE is set to debut their first official sub-unit with the Japanese members of the group Mina, Sana, and Momo.

SHINee

The only male K-Pop group from SM Entertainment without a sub-unit is SHINee. A quartet, SHINee made their debut in 2008 and has spent fourteen years working with SM Entertainment. Even though SHINee members have been in groups like “SM The Performance,” “SuperM,” “Younique,” “Toheart,” and “SM The Ballad,” there is no sub-unit formed within the group to date.

iKON

Presently composed of six members, YG Entertainment’s third-generation boy group iKON debuted in 2015. It’s been seven years of their debut, but they still haven’t formed a sub-unit. Although the main rapper of the group Bobby used to be a part of YG Entertainment’s hip-hop duo unit “MOBB” along with labelmate Mino, there is no sub-unit within the group to date.

WINNER

WINNER is a four members group that debuted in 2014. Composed of two vocalists and two rappers, WINNER is another group from YG Entertainment without a sub-unit. Rapper Song Mino from the group was in “MOBB,” the hip-hop duo unit of YGE, along with iKON’s Bobby. Though members of the group featured each other in their solo releases, there is no official sub-unit in WINNER yet.

2PM

The second-generation masculine group from JYP Entertainment, 2PM is a boy group with six members. The group debuted in 2008, and 2PM returned to the music industry as a whole group after four years of hiatus in 2021. Although being a veteran K-Pop band, 2PM never formed an official sub-unit. Instead, 2PM together with 2AM known as a unit group named “One Day,” recorded the theme song of their documentary film.

MONSTA X

Six-piece South Korean boy band Monsta X is managed by Starship Entertainment. In 2015, the group made their official debut. With the exception of I.M, every member of the group renewed their contract with the agency this year. Though all Monsta X members were a part of Y-Teen, a project group of Monsta X and WJSN, the group hasn’t yet formed a sub-unit within the group. They’re one of the most popular grounders under Starship entertainment.

Is it necessary to have sub-units within a group? Which is your favorite sub-unit? Which K-Pop groups and members do you want to go for a sub-unit?
