It's crazy how YG literally disbanded 2NE1 and then later the same year debuted BLACKPINK with the same "2NE1 formula"  . Like BP and 2NE1 have so many similarities and are basically living the same fate within their groups. Both groups consists of 4 members, and he even gave BP members the same group positions as he did with 2NE1, as if they are the daughters of each 2NE1 member 

 

CL & JENNIE: Both are the MAIN girls who are main rappers and also lead vocalists, center, fotg, leaders (Jennie is the unofficial leader), the company favorite, the girls who get's the most lines and the most hated members. 

 

PARK BOM & ROSÈ: Both are main vocalists who have the same vocal tone which is squeaky/light, both of them have had orange/ light colored hair most off their careers.  

 

DARA & JISOO: Both are the visuals who get's the least lines and are considered the "underrated member, both are considered the least best dancer and the  "least talented member within their groups" (which i disagree with since both are my biases in each group) , both are more popular domestically than internationally, both have acting gigs.

(Though Jisoo is also a lead vocalist which separates her a little bit)

 

MINZY & LISA: Both are the main dancers who are also lead rappers, both are considered the tomboy of their groups, both have had short hair/bob cut and bangs most of their careers.

(Though Minzyy is also a lead vocalists which separates her a little bit.) 

 

Like BLACKPINK are almost a direct copy of 2NE1.  YG is really something else wow 

You need a time machine so you could go back in 2016/early 2017 so someone would give a damn about this take outside of the 2ne1 stans who still personally blame BP for their disbandment.

Yes! Enhypen, TXT, Treasure and probably Ateez as you mentioned.

The first three have had cute minor hits as of now but any of them have shined as big as BTS, EXO, Big Bang, Beast or Btotb.

 

Stray Kids debuted in 2017 and NCT and its sub units starting debuting since 2016.

Stray kids debuted in 2017? Really???

The Boyz then TXT 

Totally forgot about the Boyz. 
The Stealer is still THAT song 

[Mix'em]

I guess you can't really refuse such a big opportunity but why would SM throw Aespa on such a big stage when theyve never been seen or shown as performer... especially in the western sense. 

It truly is a double edged sword.

[ALA]

Ticketmaster is truly the pits. Trying to get tickets for these concerts is truly horrendous  especially when they save seats to overprice them. Uggggh

Billboard changed their rules again (coincidentally after BTS announced their comeback date)

We already know about the 1 digital copie/card

They added this :

-IMPORTANT: This limitation does NOT reset after a certain period of time. (If you buy the song week 1 you can't buy it again)

- Digital signed copies are considered as merch so don't count anymore ( alternative digital album covers still allowed lol)

- Can't buy more than 4 physical albums, if you buy 10(lol) it doesn't count for BB.

don’t aespa peform today?

[Billionaire]

I don't really have hope for aespa singing live especially when they're associated with 88rising. Alot of their artists' last weekend were very obviously lipsyncing, hopefully won't be the case for aespa this week

This is so disappointing, they were really charismatic and talented, Gratata was such a bop 

I wonder what happened, the company didn’t give a reason. I know their sales were abysmal but I hope they didn’t give up on them just for that, they didn’t even lasted a year! 

There are 3 things that could've happened.  1) The company ran out of money, or the desire to keep lighting money on fire. 2) The failing health of the Hong Seungsung finally reached a point where he can no longer help manage the group/company, and there's no desire in the family to keep doing this without him. 3) They looked at their poor success, looked around at all the other similar girl groups with similar concepts with similar results and have decided to start over with a different idea, maybe even with some of the same girls, but not with Yewon.

 

The way all operations ceased after everyone went away for the lunar new year break suggests 1 and/or 2.  The way they didn't even give this "covid group" a chance with Korea finally ending restrictions on events and gatherings also suggests that.  The statement they posted has a tinge of #3.  And the way there's going to be at least 3 more girl group forming TV shows this year suggests a 4th option.

Theyre labelmates 

His yakuza bros have sabotaged labels for personal gain before.

There’s a lot of army’s like that, they try to distance themselves so much from K-pop that they call K-pop fans “kpoppies” in a demeaning way

When the thing that's most damaging isn't the "kpop" label, it's the the "boy group" label.

I hear the crowd has been instructed not to look directly at them, or else.

I'm so curious about their next release. They might still get a #1 or a very high debut but the drop the next week should be funny

Yeah, that's probably true.

 

It's only one step above the absolute bottom of the barrel as expected. However, I wouldn't drag them for doing what lots of other folks do.

No offense to this girlie, but given Korea’s beauty standards, I would be shocked if she becomes a 4th Gen it girl in Korea given the size of her nose. 

[rapperjennie]

Aespa got a good time honestly, a LOT of people will be at main stage during this time

 

 

 

also ningning looks so good

I think it's kinda hard due to security. It really depends, some people are able to do it. A lot of ppl only record the audio though.
