Why is BP even in the discourse?

celebrate your favs and keep it moving.

 

y’all always insert BP when a girl group releases, it’s weird.

 

and tbh, where did they get overshadowed? Because they didn’t hit #1 in Korea…I guess lmaooo

 

they hit #1 globally

mote than some of your favs can say

Thanks, that's all I wanted to point out. And that's a fact. They can try again next era, since they have the popularity like you guys already mentioned, they just need a better timing and material. 

 

Being #2 is being overshadowed, so yes, I stand by what I said

Blackpink is so early 2020s. It's almost 2023 now and IVE, NewJeans and Le Sserafim are the new queens of kpop

Now watch everyone follow the trend and doing the same thing NJ did end up complain there's no diversity everything it's Y2k stuff. No doubt NJ concept are unique atm, but I think girl crush concept should not gone completely for diversity sake.

Then we will be screaming for girl crush comeback, trends are everchanging anyway so nothing stays forever. For now I'm all the way in for this sleek y2k dance sound/contemporary rnb tinge. Triples were quickly hailed NJ copies and I don't even care, cause everything they released and teased sounds amazing as well. We still have IVE dominating with bright, flashy pop bangers. Not to mention Le Sserafim, aespa and Gidle, current state of mainstream kpop seems well balanced to me.

The material is fine.

you may not like it, but both PV and SD were the biggest songs to come out of kpop this year

 

and that’s a fact since you keep talking about facts.

I'm just saying BP peaked singles/ chart wise, yes they are still super successful but nowhere near DDD level like they used to. BP is the standard so ig I was a bit shocked when they not did hit #1 even after the 2-year break hype, while these new girlies are easily smashing and getting #1s. I feel bad for them cuz it's not even their fault, since it's YG that keeps withholding the music during the time when fans are ready and the most hyped. 

 

Pink Venom would've been easily a #1 if it didn't have to compete during Gidle, IVE, NJ smash cbs/ debut. But still even if it did, it wouldn't have the longevity like the latter cbs had. 

 

Also, didn't say anywhere in my post that they are not the highest earning/ paid GG out here? That's another topic. 

Pink venom would have reach #1 if they promoted the song. The gap between them and Attention peak was only 60k uls. 
 

Also, Pink venom stayed 9 weeks inside the top 10, despite the crazy competition and with the 4th gen rookies promoting everywhere. 
Same for Shut down with 8 weeks. Name a Kpop group (except BB) who had these results in SK this year without promotions? 
 

Why anyone would feel bad for them, when globally they peaked the highest on other plateforms

Do a better job trolling.

you just wanna be included

The new girlies are smashing because they are TRENDY and we know how Korea loves a trend and hops on anything trendy…

 

when IVE & NewJeans reach their 6th year, let’s see if they’re still smashing like you say

 

im not sure why y’all feel BP has to prove something to these literal teenagers. 
 

they’ve already surpassed every girl group currently. They’re in their own lane and not reaching #1 with one comeback changes that. They didn’t even promote in SK so that shows how much they could care less about being #1 on the charts

Pink Venom also felt trendy to me. Otherwise, it wouldn't have crazy viral on TikTok. Imo, it has everything to be a #1, but I guess the timing didn't favor them this time.

 

But then again also Shut Down stalled at #3, and that song is much much better than PV. It feels like they may be overexposed to the GP but 2 years is such a long wait for them not to miss them. I also think they need a new material like a 180 from what they are doing. I feel like the BP formula in their songs does not hold much power now like it used to. 

[elevate]

Not pointless sales discussion even after a fantastic new song

[Kh-Loud]

we need Aespa to make a successful comeback so vocalists don’t completely feel extinct in kpop. I’m sure Miss Winter is ready to unleash her screech and destroy our eardrums but we need her in the name of diversity

I actually like them, especially Shut Down. And I agree that Blackpink songs will always be successful globally, but what doesn't make sense to me is they are not super smashing ala Tomboy/Love Dive/Attention in Korea.

Her screech are so unpleasant. Ning Ning should be the one getting the high notes because her tone is so much better. 
 

Her not getting the high notes in DCT, when she’s litterally called Bada daughter pissed me

Is it hard to accept that BP did not reach #1 while these new GGs did despite it being a cold hard FACT? 

Lemme remind you that you came here and wrote how BP didn't get #1 against the new trendy groups, was shocking to you. So ask yourself that question!

[Konril]

NewJennies song is a mood... I love it. Maybe because I'm tired of the pots and pans music.

It's SKYROCKETING

it does make sense

theres a generational shift happening, its nothing new

 

[GucciBang]

Anyway this inserting BP in every topic is so annoying. I literally came here to celebrate NewJeans release after weeks of absence from kpop

[dlwlrma]

Listening to Ditto and thinking "oh cool, but imagine RV singing this, the harmonies "

 

idk I dont the same thoughts about IVE and LeSe because their songs are not asking for that.

But I'm afraid that NewJeans is not the same case. They are following a path that vocal matters a bit more (if makes sense)

 

still a good song

Okay, you're right about them being underpromoted in Korea but then again it also has the most obvious solution: Promote more in Korea (where it's your biggest market). Lmao!

 

It's not like they are Top 10 on the US either, where it had good promoted... 

 

Also, I said I felt bad for them cuz they only had to release music once in a blue moon and the fans had to wait that long just to get slapped with an 8-track "album" (with already 2 pre-released tracks). You have a thing for twisting my words don't youuu?

[conquxror]

anyone else getting early loona vibes from the new jeans mv/song? it kind of reminds me of something they would release back when they were good

BP is a trendy group, I-. You're acting like they are above the new GGs

Totally. It has that same dreamy pop vibe that early LOONA had

[State of Grace.]

Awww Ditto is actually really nice. I didn't love Attention/Hype Boy and certainly not Cookies but this is such a vibe. I love the dreamy sound and slight Y2K influence. 

 

As usual, this thread stays insufferable with inserting BP in every single topic and release. Sigh.

Okay, it's my bad that I did not realize this sooner. I've always had this idea that Blackpink will forever be #1 in everything. Thanks for this insight!
