She’s pretty. That’s not hard math. Eunwoo despite being the blandest idol and a terrible actor is super famous. 

Yes it is hard math lol being pretty does not mean practically single handily carrying your groups cultural popularity. Idk who Eunwoo is but they ain’t It girl/boy level like boreyoung is.

She’s quite literally “perfect” and is insanely pretty. Why is that so hard to understand? If you’re a kpop stan, you should know how much importance is given to beauty in terms of popularity. Plus she might not be the best at anything, but she’s not bad at anything either. Plus the girlie is one of the few idols who KNOWS how to work a camera.
Also you need to take this into account: she was in a popular reality show where she was exposed to a huge audience and has been in the spotlight for a long time already since a young age. That has given her a headstart over other 4th gen girlies who came after her. And now the others are simply trying to catch up to her while she’s still constantly working like crazy on the spotlight with multiple jobs and getting her deals and endorsements. Sis is a HUSTLER.

Hmm the bit about her head start and her work ethic is the convincing post imo so I’ll allow it

Do you guys think that the BG music at 0:57-1:10 is the intro / instrumental for 'OMG' plus a bit of the choreo?

 

Wait???! You may have spilled!

[BowWow]

can someone explain seventeen status for a sec? They’re the only bg alongside B0ts and big gang who consistently chart singles in the top 20 but they are not on their level. They sell millions of albums but don’t have much international attention compared to other bg. It’s not just I-stans, on the recent gallop poll for popular music acts of 2022 they weren’t in the top ten 

 

what is their level then? They’re not big with int fans, they’re not big with the Korean gp (seemingly) yet they obvs have enough relevancy to chart singles unlike most bg. Why?

The evidence is there….

literally every time a gg releases or debuts ARMY and the kpop fandom as a whole inserts BLACKPINK unsolicited

 

do I need to gather receipts?

I remember seeing a tweet that blew up after ANTIFRAGILE dropped and the tweet saying something along the lines of “BLACKPINK wishes they could make a song like this” just random…

 

so let’s not act like there isn’t token stanning to bash BP and it’s definitely not 12 year olds. A lot of these people are grown adults

 

 

they spilled

but bp can keep releasing D4 rehashes if that’s what makes their fans happy (it doesn’t)

[Mel.]

The girlies wasn’t lying when they said Gen 4 can’t sing for **** huh? Embarrassing. The tone deafness, the flatness, the pitchy notes, the dead vocals….

 

just sounding a godd@mn MESS

The d4 rehash talk is sooooo boring

y’all really need to let go of it

because y’all clearly have hearing problems or something if you really think that

I’ve literally never met a DIVE… their success seem very GP-driven no ? Or like fans like them but never ULT them.. idk some food for thought 

 

 

Dives (mainly K-Dives) are mainly consist of toddlers and children from kindergartens up to middle/high school teens and by proxy their parents who help them purchase their singles, albums, and merchandise. Miss Strawberry are literally the fairy godmother of the Korean children right now

I want IVE to have more hard hitting choreography for their next single. Yijin and Gaeul would serve so hard ? 

Don't think we'll have more hard hitting choreography anytime soon since they need toddlers and children can learn their choreography easier and faster. But who knows maybe Starship can manage to find a choreographer that made easy but hard hitting choreography at the same time.

[MonsterNavy]

not these minors snatching just like that

now I need hybe to do all the payola and promo they been doing to BTS to newjeans.

MHJ ha next successful gg since f(x)

[Sugden]

newjeans has a lot of potential if they keep releasing great songs they are gonna go far

i just think they should stop with the multiple long mvs, idk it feels like it makes harder to market the girls as individuals, they kinda all just look like background characters in some flop indie movie

It’s both. IVE have a strong Japanese and Chinese fanbase. They’re the one who are carrying their insane physicals sales.In SK they also have a good fanbase, plus the gp (super popular with kids)and a lot of casual listeners from SEA (good streaming stats, and virals videos on tik tok)

Based on what I see on Twitter, surprisingly, each of the girls are equally popular while at the same time supporting the group as a whole. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have not seen any akgaes among the fanbase, like the gap in popularity among each members is not the broad that give way for akgaes to exist.

It's so blatant too, like imagine denying this. 

[Pluto6]

SKZ just released their digital album!!!!!!! 

 

I love how this song is about the members, and that fact that every member is introducing and praising another member with compliments

 

 

Now onto the b-sides with solo songs:

 

The fact that every member wrote and produced their own solo song alone, SKZ are truly on another level 

 

Bang me Chan serving a tropical EDM bop 

 

Lee Knowles proving why he's the Beyoncé of the group as usual, pop-rock vocal king 

 

Changbin best 4th gen rapper 

 

Hyunjin serving 00's pop rock 

 

Han serving tropical bop 

 

I was surprised by Felix, cause I didn't know he could sing like that and the different ranges he has from the deep voice to the light voice. He also sound identical to TEN from WayV in his singing voice 

 

Seungmin's song is so beautiful, vocal king 

 

I.N serving music that will bring world peace   

 

 

Like the different ranges they all have, SKZ are probably one of the most versatile groups  ever in Kpop

In what world LSG and Shut down are bg noised? 
In what world LSG and Pink venom sound similar? 

You’re just saying anything . 
Focus on your flop group, who despite all the payola and the privileges still hasn’t bag a hit

I think NewJeans can debut on Spotify (full tracking day) with like 4M streams at this rate
