Watching SNSD TamTam now, I'm only 20min in and they already toasted to Ahjumma's Generation and made fun of Yuri's unknown solo.

Ep1 is the most boring one the 3rd one is the best and the second is miles better than the 1st one

so hyped for the 4th one with Seohyun on it 

[Magdalene]

jyp and sm should come together and make an aetzy subunit, not sure how that would work logistically but yeji, karina, ryujin, winter, and ningning together would be so powerful

I guess some idols don't care about not being paid in music shows

 

 

The way they are getting their life  

 good on them for finding a way to find promotions and idol life actually fun years later, and it's surprisingly got them a lot more fans in Korea too now

Well the only RV fault was not releasing more english songs, cuz BP is just the female BTS in terms of noise music, RV debuted when BTS and DDDD had not happened yet, what i mean Psycho were miles ahead in terms of quality and the western did realize it 

This proves SM is not here for RV being their global group which is a shame since they are in a place where releasing english material and doing promo WW would benefit the company while Aespa can focus on korea. Yes people realized how good Psycho and BB are but SM was not going to give us a R&B comeback everysingle time, that's not their way of working.

Snsd will probably go with something like i got a boy or next level,  i think thats the reason why aespa went with more mainstream structure not changing tempo here and there this time aroubd because snsd will probably release something similar to NL/IGAB music wise. 

The members have mentioned that this album has more of their input into it. So no I don't think that at their age they would choose songs like NL/IGAB for a title track. I am actually expecting a more mature Show Girls type of retro/jazz songs, because I remember them mentioning that it was a song that they really like and would like to try again.

Maybe...who knows. I think things happened at the right time, because RV didn't peak too soon (unlike GFriend who were big at the start then quickly faded to nothing). I think the later smash in 2017 kinda saved RV from a similar fate. 

 

OOTN was the worst decision in their career. I have nothing against the music or The Velvet album, it's beautiful and serving art and talent. But it was WRONG for SM to do that kind of release so early in their career. That's something you do after you are established and can afford a flop or two. 

 

Joy said at the time she cried for days when SM told them it was gonna be their comeback. She didn't want it.

 

Even backstage after OOTN 1st music show win, she was breaking down in tears because she didn't think they were gonna win any award for that song. 

 

CHSL should’ve been the title track imo, OOTN is really pretty and I like the MV but maybe that all could’ve worked as a b side. I’m not sure why SM set them up like that but it breaks my heart to know she cried for days, they suck

if joy cried after hearing OOTN, i don't want to imagine what was going through her mind when the a&r handed them zzb and showed them the styling for the era

she said UU should’ve came before ZZB, I don’t think she was as a fan of it either 

 

UU was more safe and kinda like a second red flavor a little

Taeyong is such a kii Idk if it was him just being a good leader or him actually vibing with the song 

[Da Vinci]

Forever 1 is giving Hannah Montana Forever (final season)

Psycho felt like a huge moment for Red Velvet, not sure if it was the demo leaking that really excited everyone or if it was the return of their darker concepts

I have noticed recently SM making a real attempt to involve the fans in all of the stages of a song and it's creation. In recording videos recently (for NCT Dream atleast) they've actually played the demo songs they received, they're showing all the choreo that was submitted via dancers through that new Youtube channel and recently some video also interviewed A&R etc. who basically explained to fans what they do etc.

 

Not sure if the purpose is just to bring transparency into kpop but it is interesting how open they're starting to be

I think that after flop after flop after FLOP, reveluvs were kinda losing hope, so having RV finally getting a comeback where they tick all the right boxes...??? Mature concept, gorgeous teaser/mv visuals, immaculate styling, undeniably great song that showcases their vocals........ Exhilarating, honestly.

I wanted RV’s late career transition to be them embracing their arts before charts nature and just dropping constant experimental artsy-fartsy critic-bait albums. A mature house/R&B musical direction would fit them so much. I also felt like this was the lane for them in terms of western success because I don’t think they were ever gonna bigger than BP or Twice internationally. But then that shitty 2015 Ariana reject smashed and ruined any minute chances of this happening. K-pop stan’s have the worst taste ever 

[hindsight]

I think RV could've been bigger if their "Red" concept was more like Ice Cream Cake, their image that era was cool but still fun. releasing more Bad Boy/Psychos could've helped them as well ofc

 

I love Rookie and UmPAK UmPAK but those were seen as too childish/weird by most people and I guess that hurt them in a way... releasing awful sings as titles such as Dumb Dumb, boring OOTN, and torture songs like RBB and ZBB also didn't help.

Danielle  Omg 

 

 

short hair 

 

Didn't really bother to learn the members but now I know that the girl that always stands out to me is Danielle. Super pretty.  Other girls are pretty too but they all look very similar to me (for now).

All the stats & receipts prove that aespa is SM's biggest girl group since SNSD so idk why some people are insisting that the contrary is true 

 

RV definitely could've been bigger but I don't think they were really intended to be anything else other than a group to sort of experiment with. Kind of like f(x) but in a more public-friendly way?? The thing with aespa is that they've stayed consistent to their SMCU/lore concept & experimental sound since debut, meanwhile RV were always switching back n forth making it harder for them to gain more hardcore/dedicated fans. If they had stuck to songs like Psycho/Bad Boy they def could've given some of these groups a run for their money internationally.
