Spotify has def been growing in SEA but also most of the fandoms have shifted their mass streaming machines to Spotify instead of Youtube since it's a cooler achievement these days 

Yeah, some seem to still work just as hard on the youtube mass streaming tho, credit where it's due

We all know it would’ve been a hit if it was released by twice. 

Yeah, the fact o.o and dice didn't fully bomb says enough about their name power  BEP should do some mediaplay with them, they gave us too many good stuff, they're allowed!

the hoodies are so nice 

I love the brown one

Disband WAYV and put Ten in NCT 127

and that’ll right the wrongs

 

he deserves better.

Ten really should have been in 127 from the start.

 

Especially in place of Jungwoo who is nowhere near as talented as Ten.

I doubt 1st week will be anything extraordinary, yeah I agree SM just went very wrong with trying to create a Chinese NCT unit. And it was made worse with this hiatus and member scandals

 

I'm not too sure how many members will decide to renew contracts next year(?) anyways

I believe Winwin's contract may be up for renewal next year (2023 will be 7 years since debut) but we don't know whether NCT signed 7+3 year contracts. We know Red Velvet did. But contract laws in Korea changed sometime in 2014. 

 

The same may be true for Kun, however SM seems to have reversed his debut in NCT U in 2016 and only count his debut from 2018. So idk it's messy. 

 

Some of the issues with WayV aren't SM's fault (like political issues) but they got many things wrong.

Step Back turned into one of the best songs released this year.

 

 

Ready to Stamp on it

It really did. Step Back is one of my most played songs this year. 

 

I'm ready for their dominatrix moment with Stamp On IT

I want the black one so bad but it must be overpriced 

 

 

is this normal since Christmas is over or just people decided after like will become a new year classic 

[Pluto6]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANA LEGEND

Speaking of Sana:

Random thought, but whoever stylist that did her dirty in "Candy Pop" with that atrocious wig deserves hell seriously 

 

 

Like who thought it was a good idea!?

Where are Fromis_8 and Oh my Girl? 

 

Feels like their last CB were a long time ago.

 

 

someone already answered for fromis so in regards to oh my girl, theyre mostly focusing on dramas + variety. alchemy of souls pt 2 is airing and arin is going to be in the special stage with the other 99z, yooa had her solo cb for the arts not charts + is focusing on producing, mimi is doing photoshoots, hyojung climbed mt kilimanjaro for a variety show + filmed the documentary that some other idols are on, seunghee's doing variety + released an ost for minho's drama + has been casted in a drama, and yubin is on her two variety shows + taking acting lessons.

 

they are actually quite busy and even said theyve hardly seen each other for months. i hope they get a cb for early next year + the concert theyve been asking for 

[Dialamba]

Imagine if aespa c-bars start buying half of total sales then SM says aespa will only get one cb in 2023. The meltdowns.

Let’s throw back to their one and only moment from 2022 

Rent was due 

Electric was late  

Car was about to be repossessed

Disbandment was unavoidable 

Lip sync was not an option 

  Hide contents

Their visual line with Jaehee,Jihan,Zoa and Soojin is a collapse but sadly they are disbanding Hopefully we get the last hurrah two mini albums with NewJeans cosplay before the disbandment 

 

This performance was good. That’s what they excel at. Making cute energetic bops. 
 

I really hope they cb in Q1 next year.

 

Also not giving Jihan and Zoa acting and modeling gigs is a crime.

 

I don’t want them to do a NJ cosplay. I want them back on doing songs like After school! 

[lux]

i wonder if weeekly will revert back to their older concept or double down on their current one for their next cb. i think that's part of the reason they havent come back yet, IST assessing how to go forward, esp with the new crop of big company ggs.

I never expected the mini to have 6 SONGS I were expecting 4 omg 

[Sorecer]

 

 

If the song is really being released 15 days after the performance then SM trust 100% in the song being a hit

So GOT performance will be on Jan 1st of their tittle track but the release will be on Jan 16th digitally and on the 29th physical? isn't it too much time though? 

the release should be a week after the SM Concert but 2 is too much 

 

If the song is really being released 15 days after the performance then SM trust 100% in the song being a hit 

The mini will be released on Jan 16th, the pre orders start on dec 29th.

Honestly I’m getting more and more worried … 
 

Their last cb was in March and was not received well by their fandom and the Kpop sphere…

 

Their sales grown but idk how their next comeback is going to do. Especially after loosing one popular member and doing absolutely nothing this year. Almost 1 year of hiatus is not good!

I'm worried for them too. They had so much potential to be like Lovelyz. I hope they comeback soon and please ditch the noise

What the hell was Starship thinking not giving Liz a single chorus in "After Like" 

She literally sounds better than all the members COMBINED here when singing the chorus  This is the first time in Kpop where I see the worst singer in a group having the most lines, just because she's the most popular member   Like imagine if Irene were to get all of Wendy's lines and high notes 

 

I have seen some vocalists ranking IVE vocal abilities and the list looks like:

 

1. Liz

---- wall of China ------

2. Yujin

3. Gaeul  (I was shocked ngl)

4. Rei

5. Leeseo

6. Wonyoung

 

Though I don't know 100 % if the ranking is correct except for top 2 of course. 

 

 

Not the great wall of China 

 

The worst part is that she is also quite pretty, so there's literally no reason that Liz isn't getting more lines. I hadn't seen this vid and I kind of love this version.

 

I also do not know who this Lany man is but I would like to get to know him more, whew. 

[MonsterNavy]

GOT the beat comeback and mini album

just 5 new songs, right? obvi Step Back would be tucked in it
