Got The Beat’s new song

 

 

 

 

Did they just recycle their Step Back outfits for this new track or did they perform Step Back before this and not bother to change? So far it's the same concept with the same looks. It's boring.

They performed both songs with the same outfit. I guess they are saving the concept and style for the mv that was already filmed

Apparently the Baby Monster concept are dual concepts with Baby which is similar to finkl/babyvox and Monster is similar to TLC, it's why YG said before that the new girl group will have rnb music and that they are like BigMama as they are trained is soul singing , we will see if they stick to that or not soon

No  Baby Monster is just another name for Blackpink before the girls rejected it because it was corny like along with Magnum. It's basically just the duality concept but switched Baby Monster instead of Black Pink, sweet/cool. I do believe they will do rnb since watered down y2k is the vibe now, thank you NewJennies.

 

Check the nameplate. 

 

I'm excited to see the old eldritch villain (YHS) struggle against the new sus machiavellian mastermind (MHJ) in January. Let's see if the old bog beast still has it in him, for girl groups at least, we saw the ordeal with Treasure already......  

 

 

Also Lisa is apparently close with and mentoring the thai trainee, so we are excited for mother Lalisa's progeny.

It’s funny how the same people who complain that Aespa fans “try and make people think they’re bigger than they are” are the same ones who constantly try and force the narrative that 2022 was a flop for them despite a mild hit for their (1) comeback that wasn’t even the title track and didn’t get a MV, inclusion in a successful project unit, and great catalog streams from their 2021 music (showing people were still listening to them in 2022 even if their one comeback didn’t do as well digitally as expected). 
 

No irrelevant act is charting on Gallup, getting 1.5B digital index on Gaon, and having an album sell like 1.9M. Give up the flop and massive underperformance arguments already. 

Yeah I don’t understand the Aespa is a flop narrative. 

[cantstopmes]

Wonder if blinks will be supportive towards this new group unlike onces with itzy lmaoooo never understood why onces hate itzy so much..

I just want them to SMASH hard because it would make BP leaving that prison easier. If they serve cool music, visuals, performances, etc I might consider stanning a bit but id never be too invested in another YG group

isn't it a bit too early for this? the same happened with aespa. they need to atleast let the girls find their own style before signing ambassadorship deals?

 

but whatever, they truly are the newjennies, newjisoos, newrosés & newlisas

 

inb4 baemon has global ambassadorship deals the day they debuts  

I think that aespa’s problem is that SM is pushing them as group for those deals which is not working, because each girl has different aura and it’s harder to sell brand image this way

poor Minji, good luck with Chanel bc they’re not going to acknowledge her. But she might have a chance for Chanel beauty Korea. 
 

It’s a little bit ridiculous to engage a teenager as a BA but whatever… 

they attended Chanel event the day of their debut  so we will see if they will manage to bag it

I don’t mind aespa and their success, I would like to see them killing their game again, but not with the songs like Girls and not with Black Mamba lore anymore - they need to switch it up a bit

 

also, I don’t like the way SM handles them, they do them bad pr with some of their decisions and it’s such a waste, especially after Savage ep and DCT 

 

also, even though aespa underperformed this year they still stayed on the map and did well with their side projects, they will be good if SM plays their cards right - I just give the credit when it’s due, IVE and NJ performed exceptionally well this year, same way aespa did in 2021 and that’s why they got the result of amazing sales in 2022, but underperformance in the singles department, because the quality was not it after their previous material

Thanks for your fake concern. Minji will be fine with or without Chanel. Hope she gets something that isn't creatively dead for years and actually looks nice and innovative

based on their fashion choices I think they are pushing Haerin for Dior, Minji for Chanel and Danielle for Burberry - Hanni and Hyein’s outfits alligned with the deals they got later on 

I hope It's not true tbh. Danielle deserves better.

yeah, it’s a bit underwhelming compared to the other girls 

 

she suits miu miu in my opinion but she would need to snatch Wonyoung and that’s not realistic

It's an easy job and perfect opportunities for YG to clear their 2 decades old vault tracks cause I'm sure their veteran acts like SWI.T, Big Mama, and even Se7en and Wheesung have lots of vault tracks hide deep inside the dungeon. Just a retouch and rewrote the lyrics to fit the current zeitgeist and volias

[Adama]

So the new GOT the beat song will be performed Sunday? And they will release the album after?

Well if she’s fine without them, maybe MHJ should stop chasing them idk. But I understand her, Chanel is still one of the most prestigious brand in the world.

tbh if their past GGs were anything to go by, this will be yet another group of PERFORMERS and girlies who know how to put on a show.

 

LSRFM and Itchy will have some competition

I remember being an immature teenager saying I'd never stan a YG group due to stan wars but then BLACKPINK showed up and their debut stage is probably the best K-pop performance I've ever seen. YG must have some amazing teachers for stage presence.

Seriously YG Stans should be called Sheep atp

 

even NMIXX is loewe global ambassador it’s clear the big4 have connection. Hyein has so much star power but she’s the least popular so surprised she got one before minji/Haerin

Moschino and so on could work better probably. She should be dressed in some quirky fits, not in Burberry. I find it unappealing after Tisci left

Yes, MHJ is the chasing them when NewJeans got over 100 love-calls from various brands after debut. They get sponsored items because these brands know Korea has all eyes on them. Just stay bitter as you already are tbh
