the big 3 overall is so uninteresting nowadays tbh

IDKU was bland and awful and only did well because she released it at an empty time of year. Not to mention her solo has basically cannibalized SNSD's fanbase. You only need to look at how the other SNSD solos were paid dust by sones. It's a pity for them. 

None of the SNSD girls flopped. T-ARA’s peak era sold 78k, SISTAR’s peak sold 27,765, 4Minute’s peak sold 58,010 and Wonder Girls’s peak sold 79,905.

 

The SNSD girls were regularly entering the best-selling soloists on Gaon lists even with minimal pushes from SM. They were selling on-par and above what the top groups of their era sold.

sm stans are BITTER 

 

but it's cool how mjh takes all the hate for newjeans and the girls are left unhated 

It’s weird how yesterday you all were claiming that SM stans were desperate to cling on to MHJ and now today you girls are trying to push this narrative that SM stans hate her. Like if you’re going to create some delusional narrative, can you at least stick with it for like a week?

aespa's MVs are the biggest letdown imo

their concept and lore is so grande and interesting but they haven't been able to translate it well into an MV yet

there's cool shots but it's mostly repeated, empty looking sets

I enjoy their SMCU episodes more

 

I think FMR is my favorite SM video from last year! they got everything right with that CB 

I agree so much with Aespa’s music videos. I’d much rather watch their performance stages. They just have yet to make a really great video. Next Level and Black Mamba are basically just performances with some scenes thrown in.

I mean the INVU concept was heavily inspired by Hugo Comte works. 

I don’t see it but I would like to see it. I can see some similarities with the Forever 1 car shoot but those influences are way older. However, the idea of Taeyeon x Hugo Comte now has me shook

I swear to god I fall in love with D.O’s voice every single time as if I’m listening to him for the first time ever  he literally might have the best male tone in kpop ever.

He does, like the FLAVORS 

 

 

His Spanish accent

Since their dogs go to the same pets daycare , Taeyeon should ask Jennie for Hugo number

I would say Minji too! she has completely different tone and her voice feels „heavier”, if that makes sense 

 

or maybe it’s because I’m used to their voices now 

Clearly 

I can regonize the girls voices already too but Hani was the easiest for me 

[Gaia]

I love seeing all the 8 SNSD girls successful and happy as a cohesive group.

 

They were beaming during Forever 1.

 

Taeyeon having hits as part of GOT, SNSD, and solo 15 years into her career was also great. 2022 was great for her

Truly the MOST underrated kings of KPOP. I believe time will look fondly back on them though as the years pass by. And no worries, I will now join you in spreading the CARAT gospel moving forward 

 

thank you 

For real! And it angers me that a group THIS talented is sometimes overlooked by casual kpop fans. But they have a huge fanbase and selling a lot so kings are quietly slaying. Their stans don’t need to brag about them 

also I ******* love that song and I’m glad they did that performance.

 

and did you watch this GDA perf from yesterday?

To You is great. I think Shadow is the Bside they’re performing a lot from the current era. I love that song too

it’s kinda clever if you think about the double meaning though! I didn’t get it at first too, but now I think it suits them perfectly

SM's teaser photos are incredible most of the time

but the actual music videos usually suck

their teasers are always drop dead gorgeous and a gag then the actual mv is just….there

Now, I think you know this is a bare faced lie sweetie. The only soloist that didn't flop is Taeyeon.

 

Tiffany, Seohyun, Yoona and Yuri massively underperformed/flopped and Sooyoung and Hyoyeon outright bombed.

One of the biggest crime in kpop, Koreans didn't give them the success that they deserves. I would be really sad if they won't renew this year

whats the double meaning? 

[hallucinate]

new jeans = new genes 

being on brand but timeless = being a breath of fresh air  

 

it’s kinda obvious what both mean and it suits their concept and describes their music and identity well, in my opinion
