They don’t need to replace him. He literally served no purpose other than being a visual.

 

I was just like put Ten in there but he’s already a part of the damn group. Choose Sungchan or Shotaro, bbs need something to do. 

I thought that they will go just with six members but I saw this

YG is the polar opposite, while many consider them noise a lot of YGs sound is definitely minimalistic, lots of just bass and white noise + 808s. SM just abuses autotune, synthesizers and backing vocals like there's no tomorrow it’s crazy.

YG’s issue is the formulaic structure of each title track ending with a party chorus. Other than a lot of it sounding kind of dated (because they’ve been locked in a vault forever) YG productions are fine.

:jonny5: Max is so damn gorgeous. He’ll be wasted in the group but I support it. Anything that gives me less Taeyong is fine by me.

No I just wonder where the sudden Boa hate comes from 

It's aespa stans that think that GOT the beat is some kind of BoA evil making to delay their comeback, as if aespa is the one that had their activities cut short because of this group. They've been on this vitriol on twitter aswell.

There was a Reddit thread about terrible kpop lyrics the whole section was filled with SM acts. 
:rip:

Yeah SM is probably the biggest contributor to the bastardization of English lyrics. Like the writers are literally right there :rip:

This. Call it redundant but YG songs are listenable, ignoring repetitiveness they're actually good. A lot of the BLACKPINK criticism is the 'same old same old' drag but independently, all of their songs are straight up fire (criticism is still valid though)

 

With SM? Its just absolute noise. No vibes, no rhythm, no melody to latch onto, just oversinging, bare top melody and synths exploding everywhere with a chanting BGV.

 

speaking of Dem Jointz, this is his best kpop production

the beat is sooo minimalistic but at the same time soo aggressive and it hooks you

The issue with BoA is she's always shielded by SM fans unreasonably. She has this image of the perfect and selfless idol when in reality she does whatever she can to remain relevant. Most comments I see from SM stans are "Omg they're definitely forcing BoA to be there lmaoooo" when in reality she's likely one of the ones pushing it as it's the most relevant she's been internationally since her debut basically.

 

She's everywhere. Even aespa's DCT had a documentary centered around BoA. Whether or not she had a hand in producing it, that was so unnecessary. She's giving the impression of a leech at this point

Who will replace Lucas in SuperM?

I Hope is Key but is probably someone from SuperHags :biblio:

it should honestly be jaehyun. another nct member, hot af, can speak english and he’s actually talented.

 

i wouldn’t be mad to see johnny in there as well.

100% the issue with SM. They excel at hiring attractive vocals but waste them on yodeling tracks. Genie is one of SNSD's least vocally challenging title tracks yet Jessica and Taeyeon were still able to shine vocally with the right vocal adlibs.

 

SM just thinks every song needs to be a screaming match and they need to get out of this phase ASAP but I don't think it will until their executive team dies or retires cause :skull:

less is DEFINITELY more and you can see it with the HYBE girlgroups.

Not when it comes to the autotuning on their groups though, it seems :emofish:

No one :giraffe:

sm needs a new creative director who’ll put this kwangya bs to sleep and go back to being the unique and avant-garde company they once were

It should be Yangyang imo, but SM will probably force in someone from SJ :doc:

Wendy, Seulgi, and friends popped off on Stamp On It :gaycat1:

 

Also, Beautiful Christmas is so addictive. Every time each chorus hits… :jonny:

literally nobody cares about sperm :rip: ATP i’m rooting for king kai’s enlistment before the comeback happens

That would make a lot of sense, that way they would align their concept with GOT the beat's.

hopefully new superm members means its rotational and baekhyun can be free after this new cb

SuperM comeback seems like an excuse to have another US tour at this point. I'm expecting almost the entire SM roster to be on tour in 2023 at this rate (except SNSD). RV have their festivals, aespa are certainly planning a tour, TVXQ hasnt toured in years and that's easy money, SHINee and EXO have been rumored to do tours since last year, and NCT already have tour dates WW. 

Ngl, Hanni singing that "woo hoo hoo" in the intro of Ditto gave me chills the first time :jonny5:

Hmm.. isn't Kai supposed to be enlisting this year? 

Maybe Suho can replace him.

I love Area, Days and Years and Kiss,Kiss .

I forgot to respond but YAS! those songs are so good :WAP:

 

so glad SHINee is returning this year :jonnycat: they never miss

aespa already have a big one coming up in Japan, despite never releasing a Japan single or even ever performing on TV there.

 

I'm sure they'll tour other places internationally this year too though.
