Min Heejin is SM’s biggest loss. Her work for the company was literally ICONIC, and it was also the main thing setting SM apart from other companies. It was unique, creative, sort of cult and aesthetic pleasing. Now she’s gonna do it to HYBE. 

 

I love Newjeans’ music and aesthetic, absolutely LOVE IT. Too bad the girls are that young andI feel kind of weird “stanning” a 14 year old.I lowkey wish that HYBE would’ve debuted Le Sserafim with this concept instead. Also, does anyone else think they might add a girl to LS? Or are they gonna keep two 5-membered rookies under the same label?

 

Spoiler

Sort of out of topic, but it’s funny how some people claim that BLACKPINK had no impact in Kpop and then you see a group like Newjeans where all of the members look like Jennie’s clones. I’m not even a blink or whatever but it looks like every company is looking for their “Jennie” and HYBE said “syke, here’s five.”

Yesterday “everyone is trying to have a Wonyoung moment!”

 

Today “everyone is trying to have another Jennie!”

 


The way some of y’all literally think the world revolves around your faves :deadbanana4:

No because.... I'm about to beat a ***** up.

YES, you are the only one. Your whole post is so pointless. This group has specifically detailed out this entire week dedicated to their roll out. Are you struggling that much?? IT'S COMING. Names are coming today, more music, an mv, photos are coming, TODAY. More is coming with in the next days. What is wrong with you? You don't need to get everything in a snap. It's called building, it's called marketing strategy, it's called creativity. Thank god not a single soul would listen to you about what they should do because it would be the most insipid and lacking release in history. "Too westernized" is not a real opinion. "Looking like clones" is not a real opinion. "Lacks kpop vibes" is not a real opinion. Nothing you said needed to be heard.

That was kinda rude but yeah you have a point

Releasing a music video out of the blue might seem weird but on the other hand it's something that has almost never been done in kpop so this strategy seems very fresh and interesting. The same idea of releasing teasers for weeks is getting boring over the years. I'm very perched

:clap3:

Their whole post was just honestly trifling, the rudeness had to jump out because what they're basically admitting is that their idea of what kpop should be is supposed to be narrow and limited. When someone is trying to do something NEW.... it should literally feel NEW... Like i don't understand what kind of fear, confused and unable to sit at the table opinion that user is living with. Truly so small in their thinking. It's about refreshing art, creativity, commerce, marketing, culture....

Wait you might have a point, what was the last thing she did for SM?

Erm, the girls are all pretty plain and conventionally attractive. If anything they’re all trying to be mini-Irene’s which is the Korean beauty standard. As much as Jennie and Wonyoung are popular, they’re outliers in a society that praises being homogenous :rip:

 

Thats going to be the trend for new GGs moving forward

she literally said she created the group to sing songs she loved, HYBE gave her so much control to do whatever… with the visuals, the songs, the styling everything. How is that not a passion project? This group clearly is still meant to do well but I’m saying, it’s not conventional and unless Korea is really here for the music they probably won’t smash out the gate, at least not with this release strategy. The music and chill style is not for everyone and isn’t the most flashy.

Nothing about their roll out seems rushed

Just because some girls have similar features doesn't mean they are a Jennie or Wonyoung clone. 

 

You gotta be tripping if you think all 5 JN members look like Jennie. :deadbanana:

Why does it feel like they actually shot a legit video with all 6 of them but that was scrapped because of garam leaving so now we're getting this because they're scrambling to put out OT5 content :rip:

they def shot a second mv. Just like the filmed other variety show that we will never see :chick3:

Billlie and New Jeans are gonna continue f(x) and RV quality and quirky concepts… I just know it :jonny5:

 

They are pretty much SM groups, Billlie’s label is under MYSTIC story which is sub devision of SM and New Jeans have their iconic art director and aespa/White Fox’s original concept :keir:

Everyone is asking/talking about a WORLD tour not just Korea. They can skip Korea and easily have a successful tour in Asia and North America (possibly also dates in Europe/South America too). 

 

Do you understand how much backlash a group as big of a fan base in Korea as red velvet would get if they skipped Korea. Korean fans would go berserk (rightfully so). Just when it comes it comes, everyone is getting covid by just taking a few steps in Korea right now and in US (a lot of my friends just got covid) I can wait for months for Aespa and Red velvet if it means being safe.

Korea’s most popular genre is chill coffee shop ballads or slow indie songs. Vibes is literally a genre at this point :rip:

This site is the worst i shouldve known better,  one attacked very rude and getting applaud, one voicing opinion and getting dragged. I felt sorry for these newjinns kids because i end up dragging minor, lemme log out and listen to invu. Oh well, not everyone can handle others opinion well. Its just so pathetic how it/they resort to personal attack just to make them look cool/savage, and everyone applaud it. . :chick1:

really? 

Attention reminds me a lot of Red Velvet, it has that R&B sound like Automatic, Be Natural, The Velvet mini album etc but a little more upbeat/poppy
