In this context, it means that there has been a joke among the fans of kpop about girls needing to go for popularity in the general public (literally general popularity) and boys go for fandoms.

A: The difference is very slight.
If I'm putting you on it means I'm telling you something that isn't true, I'm trying to fool you, hopefully not to hurt you, but just for a laugh.
If I'm joking with you, we might both be aware of the joke, we might be joking with each other, we might both be laughing.

A: I think the difference is all to do with who is saying it. Like, in the context of, say, playfully insulting someone and having to defend your motives, "I was only joking." "I was only kidding." and "I was only messing." all mean fairly similar things. The difference, however, is that the first would be more of a British way of wording it, the second an Americanised version, and the third a more Irish form.

A: They mean the same thing, you don't hear joshing very often though. Also, you can say "you" after joshing, but not after joking.

A: Haha, it’s just a joke that means they have a lot of something. In the pink example you gave, people are just joking that they had a crazy amount of pink in their video, so its sort of like the producer asked how much and they just said yes instead of how much (because they really wanted pink in their video). It doesn’t really make that much sense, so it might be confusing to understand haha. Hopefully that helps, if not sorry about that kkk

A: The closest translation that works would be “I’m glitchy.”

If you want the joke to be fully understood, it would probably be good to add a little more context with the English to make sure people understand it’s a joke.

A: "The joke seems to be wasted on Japanese people"とか"Japanese people don't understand this joke"

A: "It's actually because he wields the powers of darkness." This is more of a transliteration than translation, but it sounds slightly more natural than "It's actually because he is a powerful master of shadows."

We tend to say "darkness" more than "shadow" when talking about mysterious but dangerous (and possibly evil) powers.

A: "RSVP" is a French abbreviation that means "please respond." You often see it on party invitations, so the hosts know how many people will be coming to the party.

This person doesn't know what RSVP means and assumed it was just a fancier way to say "beware," so he ended up writing a nonsense notice that said "please respond to the bad smell I left behind in the bathroom."
