Birthday's choreo actually looks great on stage  And the song is growing on me too  

KARA queens also look so good

BP is YG’s golden goose and the last thing that keeps them standing, one can guess what they could negotiate but we will know soon enough 

 

they are also rumored to play festival in September and that’s after their contracts end 

So was Big Bang and they literally had a 7 year break between albums while the guys all got solos they got to co-write/coproduce which BLACKPINK aren't going to be doing since they have 3/4 solos released and like 2/3 solo songs each compared to whole albums

 

BLACKPINK's residual income will be keeping YG afloat just like BB did for YG until BP got big 

BAEMON is going to have 9 members potentially which just means more CFs and cash for YG in the long run vs. 4 girls. YG operates best on modeling/acting not music 

My predictions is 

Blackpink gonna sue YG, YGE scandals don't cease, BP gonna permanently suspend their contracts and Lisa and Rose change their stage names

BTS continues to flop individually, eventually release OT7 songs buy without promotion, the group single/album sells decently, continues to flop on the charts

TXT is still the same thing, WW tour

The Boyz disbandment they get multiple members charting and doing stuff

TWICE does better in the USA eventually release only English and Japanese songs, maybe full albums 

SKZ the new BTS they begin to break the old BTS records

Chuu gets bigger in Koria, Loona will release as OT10, OT11 or OT12 out of BBC

Music from South Korea stats to decline in sales sadly lol

IVE smashes but they get 0 mini albums still

Le Sserafim smashes with more album sales TT flops

NJNS get to #1 digitally album sales decent 

A lots of disbanmets but also comebacks of 3rd gen groups 

 

 

It is TWICE really bigger than BP in the US?

Baemon having 9 members doesn’t mean a thing  Treasure had more and yet they are flopping compared to 4th gen bg, not to mention IKON and WINNER huge underperformances 

 

YG don’t have other acts they can rely on other than BP

they need to release an album once in a while, even as a cash grab or to get new material to send them on tour, just like they did it with Born Pink 

 

and BP is known on global level, they are the biggest girl group in the world and each member has big celebrity status, it’s not like the fans and industry will forget about them  I won’t believe the girls themselves are not aware of both their solo and group power

what stage names? those are literally their names, it’s not some Winter, Karina, Giselle s**t  Lisa’s name being copyrighted by YG is a huge issue for her, I bet it is! 

TANKED SO HARD  again failed to chart on spotify, out of melon 100... ITZOVER

 

 

iconic comeback and one of the best kpop songs

Thoughts on RM's solo?

The fact that the HITZYs always used "international queens" as an excuse to defend ITZY's previous flops

I like Birthday’s choreo more than Itzy’s one  truly their downfall

 

Birthday is not that bad, I kinda like it, I’m just conflicted about the chorus but it’s growing on me 

Sneakers was the thing they could’ve been happening in Itzy’s career. A quick top 5 for what ! now they’re out of melon and can’t even chart on Spotify anymore. 

It was a set up since day one.

it’s just too funny and when blinks bring the receipts we are the “hateful” and “obsessed” ones 

 

also if they are indeed bigger than blackpink then i’m expecting their next comebacks to debut with more streams than PV or SD and a top 25 debut on hot 100 AT LEAST

Well Lisa for sure isn't her real name and I was referring to the copyright itself

Sneakers really did damage to them

ironic since it was a cute hit in Korea

shows the difference between Koreans and international fans

JYP clearly doesn’t know what to do with itzy and it’s actually sad to see

hoping the girls start to do some solo activities at least

Hype Boy outlasted Nxde.

 

At this rate, I'm pretty sure Tomboy will outchart Nxde in some weeks.

Erm are we going to pretend that at one point BB wasn't the biggest Korean BG internationally as well prior to BTS? 

 

https://www.investing.com/equities/yg-entertainment-inc-balance-sheet

 

I'd recommend you just check out the quick breakdown and correlation - BP's gains from investing is almost always exclusively used for short term investments and cash, rather than long term investing

Compare that to the reports when BB was the big money maker and their residuals were used for longer-term investments until one of their other groups made it big. It's no secret that this is literally how investing works  BP is being used as a short-term investment and paying off liabilities currently until they leave and then their streams/albums which will be residuals will be used for longer-term investment. Whenever their debts get too high, they have a BP cb. It's not rocket science that they squeeze BLINKs for cash flow.

 

BP didn't need a full album to tour, they could have honestly had a 4 song mini and their fans would have still bought it and went on to buy tickets.

Unironically if you look at all the historical data you could have predicted the BP comebacks because you'll see YG taking on more debt/loans the quarter before and then announce the CB to recoup losses quickly. This is going to be the same strategy for BAEMON and I doubt they'll flop because GGs are way more lucrative CF-wise than men now

okay, LaLISA is, hence her debut song by Lisa titled LaLISA

After Like too, Hype Boy is serving Love Dive trajectory 

 

and NewJeans surpassed 1B Circle points with their debut in 4 months, which is kinda crazy!

YG still copyrighted Lisa aren't they?  what a crazy response 

Welp, Korea just had a miracle result in the World Cup.

 

 

They're going to win MuBank next week, too!

Yes

If she uses Lisa as her stage name YG gets residuals. Lalisa is still viable but she can't name her debut as such due to the YG mini
