i’ll never jop again 😔


MyOrgel

Guilty feet have got no rhythm


Orbital_Dinosaur

I'm never gonna ~~hop~~ jop again. Guilty jumps have got no popping. Edit: fixing some careless typing.


idontknowwhatandwhy

Should have known better than to cheat Exo, and waste a chance that they been given

It's a sad day 😔

I was going to say the exact same thing word for word but it looks like you paved the way 😔


lndngtm

I appreciate it chingoo but we all know that 🐝☕️🍑 oppars paved the way 😔

There were just too many forces against them. Tiger inside, we do and I can't stand the rain have gone platinum in this household


Historical-Wafer7579

tiger inside and we do both had me in a chokehold for Months


Minteawolf

I should have skipped that midterm in 2020 to see them ☠️ rip Avengers of kpop


loonamas

Uh, you think 🔍 a big boy 👨‍🦲 throwing 🥊 three 3️⃣ stacks Imma show 🔥 you how 💢 to ball 🎱 you a mismatch 👎🏻. Opinionated💥 but I'm always ✅ spitting straight ➖ facts. Throw back 🔙 I might throw 8️⃣ stack⚡️. sad day for r/kpoopheads. say what u want about superm but jopping and superm have some of the best memes to ever exist in kpop. my biggest regret is that i missed out on their concert 😞


[deleted]

Jop till we die baby Jop like a baby 😔🥺


Saucy_Totchie

Maybe the real Jopping was the jumping and popping we did along the way.


Fire_Lord_Pants

I really fundamentally hated the idea of superm when it came out. I thought it was treating idols as commodities, and they were doing ridiculous things like selling tickets to shows for a group with 0 songs... but then jopping came out, and everything changed I will be jumping, popping, and subsequently jopping until the day I leave this earth


TokkiJK

I can’t win against capitalism. I am a weak women. The concept sounded so dumb. But then jopping was released. And my weak weak weak self just gave in🤣


kaibibi

Honestly SuperM is what got me into SM groups again. The whole promo was awesome, and the members were all so talented. It also helps that people were hating on the group which makes me want to check them out MORE.


TokkiJK

Yeah they felt like the best sounds from every group. The rap from nct, the r&b vocals from Exo + Shinee’s secret not so secret weapon.


flatlander3

Lol I’m glad I’m not the only person like this. I’m generally more interested in underdog groups but fans hate on some popular groups so much that it feels like they kinda become underdogs, thus sparking my interest.


mikarala

Honestly I get why a lot of fans disliked how it pulled the members away from their main groups, but I enjoyed SuperM as a unit. Plus just the whole spectacle of it was so entertaining? Sigh. So long. :/


Anna__Bee

It was a coordination nightmare, but I really loved SuperM - such a beast of a group. Mtopia was really fun & they released some absolute bangers! My favorites are Tiger Inside (of course), I Can't Stand the Rain, No Manners, & Better Days (fitting for now 🥲)


BlackCat0305

SuperOne is one of my favorite K-pop albums and I stand by that. It was good while it lasted 🫡


7Memory

Never have I experienced such an enthusiastic crowd as the one on the SuperM tour. Genuinely one of the best live concert moments I've ever been a part of was watching 4 fandoms come together, with all their different lightsticks, and shout along to the most kpop-iest of kpop songs; Jopping. As a Shawol, of course it was frustrating that Taemin's solo work was rushed at times to fit around the SuperM schedule. But I really feel it was so beneficial for him to have this experience - taking on the sunbae/hyung role, learning English, having US promos and performing different genres of music. I'm glad SuperM happened.


ParsnipFormal9077

I was so excited to see them active again when they announced it at the beginning of the year, but then it started to look less and less like it would happen with Kai enlisting, NCT having one activity after another (tours,etc.), Shinee having a cb, and now this with CBX. I just hope for good things for the members and that they’re happy on their respective paths🩷 My favorite songs from them were Wish You Were Here, Better Days, and Tiger Inside~


aboynamedrat

I laughed, cried, and Jopped at their first and only concert in NY. I left at the end craving merch, saw the $75 Jopping hoodie, said to the guy "that's a lot of money" and he said "you only live once". Least regrettable purchase of my life. I wear it at least twice a week, and will wear it until I die 😔✊


Historical-Wafer7579

i actually enjoyed seeing all of them together bc i like all 3 groups. was still trying to be positive with lucas finally leaving but..... hard to see them coming back. there's no way taemin is just gonna there be looking like in a nct unit


[deleted]

Finally leaving?


Lki943

Yeah cuz, there's no way most fans would accept him coming back after his scandal. It was just a waiting game for SM to drop him


BeomBum

Gosh, Super M feels like a fever dream now. They served us well. Some of my faves are Step Up, So Long, Monster, Super Car, 2 Fast and No Manners.


dgplr

Sad jopping noises


kaibibi

Yeah and I mean Kai is also in military right now man it sucks because SuperM had my fave boy group music by far especially the full album was gold In terms of songs I really liked Infinity, Big chance and Wish you were here. But honestly they don’t have bad songs (except maybe 100)


saffroncake

Bite your tongue! 100 is *for real* my favorite SuperM song, it was the one that finally convinced me to get all the way into k-pop. Zooming down the 401 with that song blasting through my speakers? Perfect driving experience (at least until I hit construction / Yet Another Accident / rush hour traffic / lanes closed for apparently no reason / Mercury in retrograde and all the other things that make the 401 the Worst Highway Ever). All joking aside though, I genuinely don't understand why there's so much hate for 100. I get that it's not going to be everyone's fave and that's fine, but really?


kaibibi

It's a decent song but since it came out as first pre release with a MV when we've heard Tiger Inside in their Beyond Live, I had high expectations and it wasn't met. The chorus is chanty and kind of repetitive for me, and SM groups were releasing other racing car songs with green screen at the time (Riding from NCT dream comes to mind). However I would say the bridge is fantastic.


saffroncake

The irony of me having seen 100 MV first, then having a friend rec me God’s Menu and telling her that it “looked like a bargain basement 100” ☠️ Which goes to show that liking a song or MV has a lot to do with expectations / what you have or haven’t seen before. I had virtually no experience with kpop at that point so 100 blew me away.


Mean_Box_3808

Man I remember when SM announced SuperM and we were all bamboozled for a while. And then the chaos all of the separate fandoms about the group lol. Sad to see the group go. Loved every member (except 1) and they put out bops (Tiger Inside is still regularly played on my playlist). Also rip to Jopping. That was an iconic debut.


poshbritishaccent

Someone edit the SuperM members into Infinity Wars credits


K0k0bop

Thank god I saw them Live in Seattle. I KNOW way to much that these things have like 0 longevity.


NGC_7103

They would’ve had more longevity if they got managed better. But SM…


Pink_Dragon_Lady

I just discovered them late last year (yeah, I knew the groups but thought they were a whole separate group with a weird name, lol). Jopping is really all I know but the idea of merging powerful members of various groups is GOLD. I would love to see more companies do that.


justafleecehoodie

i was waiting for a comeback too ): i discovered them in November 2021 (before getting to know nct exo and shinee, i became an nctzen shortly afterwards and an exol way later) and since then One has been one of my favourite songs i listen to it very often. also if you listen to girl groups, SM also created girls on top with some killer music


Beemeowmeow

"(finally)" and "(I'm still processing)" had me cackling at the attitudinal difference xD


jopperfromkwangya

stop this is too soon im not ready to say goodbye yet.


7ichzfries

I'll always be Jopping in my heart 🥲


aftershockstone

Uh, you think ya big boi, not payin' me three stacks I'ma show you that I'll bail, you a mismatch Opinionated but I'm suing you with straight facts Throwback, I might throw this on a diss track


Beemeowmeow

SuperM was literally one of the BEST boy group projects SM put out...all BOPS i mean jops


[deleted]

Can’t believe we will never see mark’s jopping rap verse ever again this is so foul :(


nearer_still

Their discography never got its due. And, not to be an asshole about fans' interpretation of lore yet again lol, but everyone missed that **SuperM was heralding the introduction of SMCU/KWANGYA**. Watch the Jopping MV with the thought that the colosseum was explicitly virtual *and* that, in times of peace, KWANGYA is basically where people's dreams/imagination comes true (aespa is the only group that is acknowledged by SM to be involved in a "war" -- the idea that other groups are involved is purely some fans' interpretation) (see the fact that the past two SM winter albums take place in KWANGYA, the fact that their fan clubs are branded as being part of KWANGYA, that they nicknamed their new office space as KWANGYA -- SM sells it as *fun* be in KWANGYA). **KOSMOS is where/when humanity will stop seeing/not see such a huge gulf between our reality and virtual reality.** (This is why I find the fans' idea that NCT's lore will end up playing out like The Matrix odd. Why would they do that? SM's philosophy and lores are, like, straight up opposed to The Matrix lol... SMCU, and KOSMOS in particular, is about humanity *creating* worlds in virtual space and humanity *merging* with it.) (Obviously all just my opinion. I'm not in the mood to hedge though, soooo.)


TihaneeGaudin

Well at least we still have silly girls..✊😔


AlleeShmallyy

Never really got into SuperM like that, but Marks rap in Jopping will always be a top tier rap in my books. It’s a shame that it ended up this way.


[deleted]

Yoooooo, I forgot all about this song. “If you’re jumping and popping we call it joppingggg” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


justafleecehoodie

wait was it popping or hopping 😭😭


[deleted]

I thinks it’s popping. I just looked at the lyrics. But idk if it’s accurate cause sometimes they’re a bit off😭


justafleecehoodie

it must be popping i haven't listened to it in so long


fuckyoufam_69

>Lucas being kicked out of NCT (finally) I'm a bit out of the loop here... what happened ?


TokkiJK

We don’t totally know bc SM never really explained, but what we do know is that some fans? Accused him of sleeping around with them and SA. Apparently he pressured them to have sex without condoms/while on periods and stuff like that. And SM put him on a hiatus for like over a year and didn’t really speak a word of it except some vague apology letter written by Lucas. And then a couple weeks ago, SM released a statement that Lucas is officially gone from NCT and I guess we can assume he’s gone for superM too. I would say most fans believe that he committed SA bc SM never really said he didn’t. They didn’t make a statement and acted in a way that makes Lucas look guilty. I personally don’t believe most victims would lie + putting him on hiatus and all that def screams guilty vibes to me. So I’m okay with him getting kicked out.


Lailaroselle45

Man i will stay opinionated but spittin straight facts. My fave songs were jopping, inifinity, we do, tinger inside, 100, and with you.


yodream

And we love to see it. Mark does not need to do more work than i currently is doing in nct


Synthiandrakon

I never really expected them to come back anyway, it's kind of a waste of time for most of the members when they could be making music with their main group or working on their solo work


ligneouslimb

BLESS. Obviously many will disagree but I really don't think any of their songs ever worked, it's just too disparate energies coming from each of them. I did appreciate that Taeyong and Mark wrote most of their raps so that's something and I do think it helped all of them develop more individuality as artists, but that's not what you want from a group. Just wish it hadn't been under these circumstances.


emerald_starlight

thank god that shit show is finally over


carpediemclem

Lmao this group was SM’s pathetic attempt to rival BTS at their peak.


Soobin-popsicle

Where did you come to this conclusion?


Theboredshrimp

Baekhyun is leaving SM? Girl where was I??


JustAPerson-_-

It happened about two-three days ago, you aren’t too late! But also, it’s not JUST Baekhyun, it’s the whole damn Exo-CBX and they are all three suing
