My eyes were on Gaeul the whole night, wow what a beauty I give her max 2 years, and she will catch up to Miss Strawberry and be the most popular member. 

 

 

 

 

The way her success is organic. Always last in lines and screen time. And she cut her hair and suddenly got the viral part, got the 3rd biggest fanbase, 8th on BE, and one magazine cover.
 

I love my wony but now IVE is a top group now no need her to push more, she’s already famous. It’s not a popularity contest.

Imagine if JYPE would’ve pushed Tzuyu instead of jihyo or nayeon or HYBE pushing Sakura over Chaewon and Yunjin.

"cant believe" "wasted" and "YG dungeon" are all synonymous at this point. no pity for anyone stanning anyone coming from that shithole

 

 

 

But yes, I need a Somi release

She just needs to leave asap

[Zack]

Looks like aespa is doing the year end Gayos but skipping the award shows. 

 

Hopefully SM gives them a good stage because they haven't done a broadcast stage since July.

Can’t wait for Yujin to become the Jihyo of IVe

HYBE pushing Sakura over Chaewon and Yunjin

I'm glad they didn't do it

like Sakura is undoubtedly the most experienced member (sis literally debuted in 2011 ), has a huuuge fanbase and is a star in Japan, so HYBE could've taken advantage of that by making her the center and giving her all the screentime, relevant CFs, promotions and gigs like Starship does to Wonyoung

but HYBE didn't do it and instead they're trying to push them all more or less equally and I love it 

on the other hand though, it makes it unlikely for Le Sserafim to get one standout IT girl but who cares if they already have a huge fanbase, amazing sales and 2 hits

The way MAMA made SKZ the last group to perform and close of the award show, due to them being the main event  They also had the the most cheers  from the crowd every time the camera was focusing on them. They also were the top trending act on every platform especially Twitter, where Hyunjin and Felix were the top 2 most trending idols of the night as well  

 

SKZ 4th gen leaders, why?  

 

The way they didn't leave the stage after the award show was over

it's not like lesserafim kicked her out themselves

[Pluto6]

A Visuelle  Even though we barely saw him in the actual performance cause fxck the camera man! The camera low key only focused on Hyunjin and Felix during the performance  But we still stan

What is BE? 

 

But yeah Gaeul is kinda like Momo, where both are always last in line distribution, but are super popular. Momo is lowkey the most popular member of TWICE, while Gaeul will also soon be in IVE. 

 

Starship needs to stop pushing Miss Strawberry too much, cause she already kinda feels overexposed and people will get tired, which is why you see people now looking for the other members such as Gaeul. LE SSerafim did the smart thing by pushing all the members equally, cause they all feel powerful now. Sakura is still the most popular member of course, but it's not a "Sakura and girls" kinda situation like it is with IVE. 

 

It's kinda interesting with TWICE though cause even though JYP only pushed Nayeon and Jihyo, all the members are still very close to each other in terms of popularity. Momo, Nayeon, Tzuyu & Sana are neck to neck in terms of popularity, while the others aren't far behind either.

It feels like they have been gone for so long now. SM needs to get them back on track because the potential is huge.

Even with stan goggles off - there just isn't any group like Twice out there in regards to the absolute jackpot of individuality and charisma. The girls have been all identifiable since day 1 and have music crafted around their individual charisma and quirks. They are JYP's legacy as a group done right.

Yeah I agree, even though 2022 has been great for them: record breaking sales, U.S. success, 5 songs on Melon year end chart already, it does feel like SM stepped off the gas a little.

 

Girls should have had a follow up comeback this year. December would have been a good time for them to have a  comeback. 

 

But judging by how well they've done with only 1 comeback this year, the potential next year is massive

Fearless (of Garam and rage from her minions)

Antifragile (taking a blow & releasing a member and subsequently becoming more loved and successful)

Forgiveness (Sakura forgiving Garam for shading her nosejob)

they should just hide and not remind people of the tragedy that was Girls

They definitely should perform DTC and Illusion. Girls should be skipped

Comparing IVE as a whole to other girl groups in the past few days, they can be lucky they can use Wongyoung's popularity as a concept.  Skills wise their only ace Yujin and conceptually they are one of the weakest girl groups out there

Not true actually. They’re only lacking in dance overall Liz, Yujin and Rei can sing (way better than the NJ girls For exemple), Rei rap is more than acceptable, plus she’s a writer. They definitely have some skills, it’s really just the dance. If you watch their fancams you can see that they have really good facial expressions (And Leeseo sometimes do too much )

For now I still think that Rei is more popular (or maybe it’s the DIVE fandom? Idk). She have way better engagements than Gaeul, already have cfs, fashion sponsoring and a Vogue cover. Plus she ranked 8 on Naver most searched Kpop idol this year. For a rookie and a foreigner it’s good. 
Gaeul definitely have a big fanbase in China, it’s going to help her. And the after like viral moment gave her a boost! 
 

I just want them to have their own instagram, so we can have a clearer vision

[Pluto6]

Imagine in the upcoming "Forgiveness" comeback with LE SSERAFIM, where in the teaser we see Garam appear in front of the other members like she did here with ENHYPEN. Then it zooms in on her face and you hear Yunjin saying: "Do you wan't to be forgiven?", and then the teaser ends! 

Ugh, I see the vision

Is exo still working?

 

And I excluded BP because there's only 4 members. 2NE1 would also fit the bill.

Orbits calling Hyunjin and Vivi OT2 and TWOONA 

[Lost In Paradise]

what if the Garam controversy was all performance art from the beginning and she’s in next comeback 

 

also Gaeul is the kpop female idol for gays that are attracted to white twinks. don’t ask me to explain.

Can they stop makin Kazuha raise her leg in every chance she given? It was cool at first but now it feel overused and slowly becoming a meme. Let her do the splits.
