The way every teaser is giving a different vibe and the song sounds very bubbly.

And there's still another set to go, she went all out, I feel like these are just for the album concept the mv is probably a whole different vibe :alexz:

I wonder who she copied for today's! The cowboy fit slays :WAP:

Big Bang peaked in 2015 (their 2007-2009 era is still the best though), after that their music went downhill. Without those scandals, they would still have hits then and there in Korea but they won't achieve what BTS has internationally. BB has BIG GP recognition but their core fandom is not as big as SNSD, let alone BTS. VIPs been saying if BB debuted in social media era they would be bigger than BTS but trust me, I was in Kcon 2014 in LA, and semi-nugu BTS had louder cheers than SNSD, GD and all other acts.

Umm...did "Still Life" smashery mean nothing?

what do you mean "thy would still have hits"? yeah...they just came back and released one

how can you even say they peaked in 2015 when their 2015 release while in the military smashed?

 

BTS can have the numbers....

BB is not competing with them, they're solidified 

the fact that you're even comparing a 2nd gen group who debuted in 2006 to BTS shows how powerful BB is in 2022

The delusion in this post is too much for me.

Bigbang has released 5 songs total since 2015 and 4 have been smash hits. The 5th was a bside.

Bigbang charted in America before BTS. Bigbang sold out arenas in America before BTS. Bigbang never had a media push or a label in the US and is still one of the best selling kpop groups of all time in America. 

 

Kcon is targeted at children and young teens so newer groups always get attention. BTS has had years of relevancy in markets Bigbang couldn't fully crack and is just barely catching up to their sales worldwide in the 2020s. They wont even top Bigbang's tour record gross until their next tour or until they add more shows to permission to dance. :deadbanana2:

 

G-Dragon is first and foremost the best songwriter and(arguably) producer working in kpop. On top of being a great rapper, decent by idol standards vocal/dancer, and a Rihanna size global fashion icon. BTS has none of that and never will. He could have debuted in any era of pop music and smashed because of his talent and taste. Some people were just born to be superstars. GD is undeniably one of those people.

 

All of this is without mentioning how BTS shamelessly copied GD and were a product of his influence for YEARS. Going as far as to falsely tagging videos of themselves as Bigbang on social media for exposure in the early days. GDs talent and image singlehandedly gave us BTS and 2NE1/Blackpink as copies. Not to mention he also invented the modern conventions for lightsticks, fandom names/engagement, solo projects alongside group activities, huge world tours outside of Asia, etc.:bunny:

The TEAAAAAAA!

WE'RE READY!

Finally a SNSD cover that's not the usual ITNW, Gee, Genie. Another tally to SNSD's relevancy :clap3:

 


Not the best of lists, but at least they have INVU, Maniac and Love Dive.

bigbang birthed BTS

Basically and anyone that denies is deluded 

they'll tell you themselves that BB was who influenced them 

Tomboy is a shoe-in for the year-end #1 on Gaon. It's already #2 on the overall ranking with only 11 weeks of tracking, vastly outpacing any other song on the ranking :rip:

‘Respected Musicians’ my arse.

They're very clearly respected and it it has you UPSET

I might be reaching factually correct but 4 Walls is the best kpop song of all time so put some respect on f(x)'s name

Not Dayola in the center :bibliahh:! They have no shame

From what I can see, among those kind of people that keep fromis_9 profitable, Dayeon is their second most popular member.  So, they're just being pragmatic as... they have no budget!

GG are RESPECTED, BB are not.

GG are IMPACTFUL, BB are not.

GG have successful solo endeavours from music to acting, BB only has G-dragon and maybe Taeyang.

 

There is not competition and mind you GG came out at a time where the concept of girl groups was on the verge of extinction they brought it back to life.

 

 

Now I dislike both SM and YG but to act like the later musically better is hilarious when YG himself was obsessed with the idea of a GG 2.0 and Treasure entire concept is basically EXO 2.0, be serious. 

Truth :clap3: A girl group with that impacts like GG was so hard to achieve. Female idols had to work twice harder than male idols. Certain user tried to undermine GG’s achievements is giving me typical misogynist behavior.
