on Spotify? Its 100% bc of the latin sound which is more marketable internationally. not bc of LSFM themselves. 
 

Really hope this translates into their other work but ive still shows the most consistency in Spotify in terms of popularity. 

Fearless did quite well on Spotify too though? LSFM clearly do have some good international appeal.

 

ITZY took a nosedive and they will be passed by IVE/LSFM/NJ at this rate.

mte this hits hard reading

Antifragile is still very much a KPOP sounding song regardless of the Latin influence. You can’t just say that’s the only reason why they did better than IVE on Spotify with this song as if their bsides aren’t more streamed too.

 Was WY jealous of Sakura when they were in shelvedZone together? Why are the girls so mean to her? She seems nice. Her face switch after getting ignored is priceless

I have no doubt about LSFM as a whole I actually said in a previous post that they’re coming for itzy and are the most marketable 4th gen to the west

 

but the specific achievement of anti fragile outperforming after like is def bc of the sound they haven’t fulfilled their potential yet in the international market

Sakura was the only one touching miss strawberry in terms of popularity unfortunately. And she was already stomping Japan aka the It country of K-pop that all the girlies wanna break.
 

LesSakurafim really got the girlies a lil nervous

Oh Twice following their The Feels -> Scientist release formula  (BP should follow this formula aswell tbh...)
Anyways hopefully the album will be a return to form.. as their last mini was their worst in like the last 4 years (Talk That Talk was cute actually but the overall mini quality was meh compared to the Fancy -> Feel Special -> M&M -> EWO -> TOL -> FOL album run)

B1&2 is 8/10 album better than FOL. 
 

I thought they wouldn’t cb until June. But I’m happy but where’s Misamo unit.

TTT/Basics were cute but PLEAAAASE let this be as good as I Can't Stop Me/Fancy.

omg this Wonyoung, Sakura gif is a whole mess and so much is happening 

 

- First Wonyoung tries to greet Karina by reaching out her hand. 

- Sakura thinks that Wonyoung is trying to reach out to her at first, so she tries to have eye contact with her and greet her.

-  Wonyoung doesn't see Sakura since she herself is trying to reach out to Karina, but Karina doesn't see Wonyoung either, like it' a full circle.

- Then Wonyoung feel awkward and takes her hand back, and looks the other way, since Karina didn't see her.

- However Karina spots Wonyoung as soon as Wonyoung turns away from her.

- Then Karina tries to greet her as well, but this time it's Wonyoung who doesn't see Karina. 

- At the same time, Sakura also feels awkward since Wonyoung didn't see her and turns around.

 

Like there's literally a whole cycle going around 

Peep Yunjin's kiss at the end as well

It sounds like it'll be a 4-part project so maybe it'll be part of the 2nd quarter? hyolo and nolo2 in the other quarters I hope!

Stayc is so much better than most 4th gen GG groups. Beside Aespa, NMIXX and Weeekly they’re above every 4th gen groups especially compared to the current top GG 

stayc is my fave 4th gen group but i can acknowledge that their vocals arent the best. but overall, their vocals are used in a way that's at least dynamic, interesting, and fit for their songs.

I really hope you’re excluding  SEVENTEEN from these conversations when y’all are talking about HYBE groups’ lack of vocal diversity or vocal talent 

but then again most people tend to forget they’re in HYBE so I understand lol 

yes seventeen/nuest/gfriend/fromis arent included in the swath of hybe vocaloids, tho i will say at least for seventeen and gfriend i noticed a change in their mixing when they joined hybe. its not terrible, but its there.

Yeah this is a major problem with HYBE labels. Their artists barely have any actual singers and the vocal editing is simply way over the top on their music, which results in bland, flat and overly processed lifeless vocals. 

 

It seems to be a thing across the board in every single HYBE group. Even the ones that can somewhat sing...you can't tell on the songs because everything is overly edited.

the production quality is there (unsurprising, they work with a lot of great producers/composers) but the vocals dont elevate the production like they should. so it comes off unfulfilling.

The song of boa Wendy and singsing sounds a lot like

TWICE releasing an english single is so smart of them cause they are bigger than ever globally.  "The Feels" is kinda their biggest song globally, and it will soon become their most streamed and viewed song as well. It also charted on Hot 100, so this English single might have a chance as well 

 

But why are they teasing their album 3 months early?

This is like very interesting to me.

How these interactions from 4th gen are very limited, and reluctantly showed .

 

I mean i'm an introverted person but if there is someone i KNOW and close for like 2,5 years in a room full of people i don't know, i might as well grab their hand, and make some small talks. Heck, hypothetically  I'm Yunjin that only trained with Wonyoung, Yujin, and Yena for like a month, and just met again after 3 years, best believe i am at least saying hi and opening discussions instead of just gazing from the side.

I can't believe we are getting a new SKZ album with 25 songs, in under 24 hours 

 

 

The fact that we are also getting SOLO SONGS from all 8 members 

I know a lot of you dislike SKZ, but y'all better stream Lee Know's solo "Limbo" at least 

Being a skz fan is so rewarding

TLDR they hate her because she’s popular but more specifically because she’s popular with men.

She’s THE it-girl & has a lot of male fans and it rattles the insecure girls so they tear her down. It-girls with a majority of female fans usually don’t get the extreme amount of jealousy that the likes of Wonyoung does. 

Unfortunately she falls into the Sulli/Seolhyun category of having a lot of male fans and not the Suzy/YoonA category who had mainly female fans. 

It also means her popularity is more fragile. And a simple dating scandal could end it all. It’s why she’s busting her ass rn trying to increase her female stan base. Fashion shows, endorsements, acting cold with male coworkers etc everything she does rn is to get girls to like her. She’s honestly a really strong person. Idk if I could live with that amount of pressure

 

It doesn’t mean anything for BP since they’re already established. But it could mean smth for Baemon.  BP can’t even get a #1 anymore. Will they be able to reach Bp peaks? Or will they be the next NMixx?

wonyoung (and ive as a whole) has more female fans than male ones. back when she was a child, she definitely had more male fans () but ever since she got skinnier and started having a more chic image, her fanbase became predominantly female. i've seen comments on pann and the like disparaging her for "not really being popular among men" or "losing her popularity among men". the same is said about new jeans, except for haerin(?), who they say is popular among men.

 

while she does have male fans, i think a lot of men are intimidated by her height since she got taller. she also seems a bit insecure about it bc she has a habit of bending her knees when she stands.

 

i honestly cant see current wonyoung taken down by a dating rumor/scandal. if anything, i fear for the man that dates her. he'll be torn to shreds if he's anything less than a chaebol. her unnie fans are that serious.

Looks like we are also getting a new MV for "FAM" Korean version, since it's the title track  The way I won  

 

The fact that SKZ have released 47 songs + 12 MVs this year alone 

 

They way they keep feeding their fans is so admirable, and some of my other faves should take notes
