I watched some others groups side contents and some of NJ too but I fail too see the differences between them and others groups contents? Do you have some exemple in mind? 

 

And Wonyoung act is a whole case lol, everyone know she’s not showing any personality and is very controlling of her image + Leeseo too now. 

maybe it’s just my impression, but I watched some random aespa IVE and ITZY content and NewJeans has just that something I find attractive and interesting, they don’t look like they are over it and forced to do some things, they seem very well balanced and comfortable around each other, like a group of good friends and I feel like they are allowed more to act „normally”

 

I don’t know, they just have the same factor to me that made me gravitate towards BP  like we all know they are not doing things they sing about and aren’t that bad b in real life, but they appear to be very nice people and they pull out the concept amazingly at the same time - that’s why no one was able to replicate their formula, they are the right people in the right place

 

same goes about NJ for me - I don’t think any other group can have that „natural” look and connection without acting weird and also sell the relatable concept convincingly too

Baemon will be pretty successful, not only are they getting another Thai member (so Asia success is guaranteed) but YG's track record with GGs has been pretty good.

 

I highly doubt they will be anything like what BLACKPINK does with girl crush

aespa sound its just not something the WW public usually stans, ive and new jeans are smashing because their songs are a easy listen.

I think there's definitely an audience for aespa's glitchy/trap hyperpop, ww. They have their own niche in that sound. Girls was just not it

If YG does anything right, it’s make a successful gg. I’m definitely not worried about their place

 

they may also have their first Japanese female idol along with another Thai girl. They already have Asia on lock

Get off my dick.

you should get off YG’s one

 

the company it trash, especially to their ggs, nothing wrong with admitting that 

[Pluto6]

NewJennies are proof that you can promote and push every member equally and be successful, take notes IVE!!!!!

The NewJennies members might be faceless individually, but as a group they are very powerful which is what their whole brand stands for. No member is made to stand out from the rest, which is why they are all styled in the same way and having the same natural black hair color. 

 

Though I do think that they should have more solo shots in their MV's, since it would be easier for people to pinpoint the members, cause they do lack individuality a little bit. Like I had to do a little research about the members before I could finally tell them apart, which I'm usually very good at by looking at the MV's alone. Hanni and Minji were the hardest cause they looked identical to me for a while

it will be interesting to see what YG does with Baby monsters

will they fall into the y2k trend or debut 2NE1 3.0  continue the girl crush path or do something entirely new and unique?

with so many postponements they definitely had many plan changes like it was with blackpink originally being pinkpunk and stuff

[Take Me Apart]

I lowkey wish aespa would just go the empowerment route and release the korean born this way 

 

I need them to become gay icons soemhow

I'll wait another year, It's too early to denote them as Blackpink successors, most new girl groups are hot for one year and then underperform, look at ITZY, also Baemon is coming. They could be the next BP too. 

ITZY were never as big as NewJeans lmao. Aespa is a better comparison

[Mel.]

Anywho…speaking of successful YG gg’s, with KARA & SNSD doing as well as they have. I really need 2NE1 to reunite for their anniversary next year and drop some new music

 

its needed desperately. It’s TIME.

if KARA and SNSD can do well, I know 2NE1 can smash with a great song

[TheCal]

I love Ditto, both the music & the video

they literally have separate mvs for each members for HypeBoy (sans Haerin and Danielle), how is that not a solo push? right from the start, they’re doing it good 

 

I can see they want to push them with certain fashion brands already too, so I’m sure they will distinguish their unique qualities soon enough - they are following the BP fashion print the best, I’m really curious if they will be able to bag all of those desired ambassadorships

 

watch their MBTI episode on yt, it’s hilarious and you will see how different from one another they are

They need to pull a GOT7 and snatch their 2NE1 trademark back from that rat

I'm talking about their MV's specifically though. Cause "Attention", "Cookie" and now "Ditto" are all filmed like vlogs, without focusing on the members specifically if that makes sense. Like we barely get a close-up to the girls or see members having solo scenes at all.

is it really true that aespa was meant to debut as NewJeans before MHJ left?  I can’t imagine any of them selling it well… there goes the idea of the concept and manufactured members - like it’s impossible to force some things upon certain people and convince the audience that it’s their natural self, MHJ was able to find 5 girls suitable for her vision and that’s a huge factor to the group’s success 

more or less they had a very similar concept until she left SM. It would have worked out with the line up ft. Lami and the other rookies to be honest esp if they were were coming off Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. 

[Adama]

BEP needs to give Stayc their own EUNG EUNG! Like imagine the collapse? They would automatically became the best 4th gen gg (in my eyes at least lol). If BEP don’t want to do it I hope Starship put something similar in term of sound for IVE

oh okay. I watched some weeekly, LSRFM and Billlie contents and they were normal and some of them were very chaotic lol.

A brown haired Ning Ning in New jeans would have been such a slay, like all the vocals she could provide them. Her singing Hype boy chorus

I was listening to Stereotype instrumental, the chorus feel very nostalgic and the sound is a pure pop perfection. I don’t understand why it flopped

I'm just here to say

 

 

JISOO!

Anyone else feel like STAYC would be a top gg rn if it weren’t for all the debuts in the past year

The way SKZ would've been #1 for the year if they decided to release SKZ-RECORDS as a physical album and not just as a gift for people who got the 3rd gen stay membership  @Pluto2022 @Mitsuki

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 

I'm loving Chan's song  it's a bop
