SM/"Warner" let Aespa release a surprise drop thinking they were Beyoncé, booked them for Coachella under some MLM DJ and then have them go on hiatus for a year only for them to leak their full album THEMSELVES at a concert.

Looks like Aespa are stuck with Warner for now while other SM acts are likely getting access with Columbia if the SM-Kakao deal was complete smoothly.

Prediction:

 

Kitsch is going to outshine the IVE title track

 

:giraffe:
 

me fea

 

The views :deadbanana2:. And the song is decent too. truly shocking what happens to individual idols after their group went on hiatus/broke up.

the crown slipped a lil…shes back on

HYPE girls really are running the industry aren’t they 

 

StarCheap will somehow **** up IVE’s career sooner or later

 

but HYPE are sure running a tight ship

 

Yg should be very scared / SM already out the race aespa peaked with next level / JYP is totally drunk and on CRACK for what Itzy and Twice and UnMixxed are releasing

The way this is MY new BP my god

calling XG non visuals…mmmmh I’ve seen this film before :redface:

The album artwork is cute, and I like that it is a canvas but why didn’t they use more of these visuals in the actual MV?!

 


This random lore trailer has better visuals/budget than the actual MV too :rip:

He’s one of the cvntiest male idols but people don’t talk about it enough because he’s so unbothered :gaycat2:


this fancam with 10M views still is iconic (with my queen Jeongyeon of course:heart:)

 

Vernon isn't the best dancer in seventeen, but there is something cautivating about the way he dances.

Not a canvas :skull: Companies are truly selling souvenirs now not albums

I mean if fans are going to buy multiple  copies regardless isn’t it better to have something they can actually use?  The concept of buying the music is kinda obsolete at this point anyway :rip:

Well we have 4th Gen bg leaders already: SKZ and TXT :cm:

 

If mnet truly push Bep1er as 5th Gen group then I can see other companies follow suit for this year debut mediaplay them as 5th Gen group.

 

The way Babymonster and SMNGG are arguably considered 5th Gen group already :deadbanana2:

Don't forget Enhypen :fish2:

Speaking of 4th gen leaders:

 

Happy 5th anniversary to Stray kids aka the best boy group in Kpop history :WAP: The way they started the 4th gen as well :clap3:

 

- They are the best selling 4th gen act

- The most streamed 4th gen act on both Spotify and YouTube

- They still have the biggest streaming day by any 4th gen act with over 13M streams on December 21 last year. 

- Biggest touring act among 4th gen, selling out arenas, stadiums and domes 

- The first 4th gen act to sell 1M and 2M with an album, and the only 4th gen act to surpass 3M with 1 album. 

- The first 4th gen act to top BB200 and the only 4th gen act topping it multiple times. 

- The longest charting 4th gen song on Billboard Japan Hot 100

- The 4th gen act with most daesangs

- Etc. 

 

And if we look past 4th gen then they are:

 

- one of the best selling Kpop acts of all time and will probably be the 3rd best selling Kpop act of all time at the end of 2023. 

- The 2nd most streamed boy group of all time after BTS on Spotify and 4th Kpop act overall, where they also get over 6-7M streams daily. 

- The only Kpop act along with BTS to top BB200 multiple times

- The only Kpop act along with BTS and SVT to have an album surpass 3M

- The biggest touring act right now after BTS, BP and TWICE mothers

- They have the longest charting top 10 song in Oricon history by a Korean act

- The first Kpop group to headline Lollapalooza this year

- Etc.
