Why do you we have to wait a week for twice it’s so long for no reason.

Monday-Wednesday : concept photos 

Thursday : m/v teaser

For real, I thought the single was coming this Friday but no :rip:! What’s the point of teasing this long a pre release?

 

Like enough, plus it’s for the US market, they doesn’t give a f about teasers pics.

Republic need to give them some good playlisting. Bc How it’s possible that the 3rd most streamed Kpop group still hasn’t got a TTH placement meanwhile a rookie group can ?

I feel like they're trying to be lowkey with the teasing/hype so it won't take away the kr comeback's attention like the The feels-Scientist fiasco :deadbanana4:
And yeah, they really suck so bad with the playlisting, not even RR helps :skull:

it felt like they teased The Feels for MONTHS :hoetenks:

Miss Jeong is serving in the pic tbh.

 

I’m expecting an upbeat RnB song from the composer and writers.

They did! They first announced the release on June 25th, released a 4-5 pics of a damn letter with the title reveal on the first week of august, a snippet in the last week or so? of august and then went radio silent till the last week of september where they released the teaser pics and mv teasers...

Literally tragic, they got lucky the song was good and went viral or else it would've been terrible :skull:

Why? So you can all criticize them again for not being "global" enough

 

They're attacked for "flopping" in the West and then when SM tries to promote them there, they are attacked again for trying to get more popularity. Like pick a story and stick to it please :rip:

Yeah Winter ate this up I fear. The face paint and the camo stockings are giving me a lil' f(x) Red Light era too which I love.

 

OT: On the release strategy, I'm not really sure about it tbh. I feel like 16 days is still too long to have waited, even if there's an MV this time. I have no idea what the chart performance will be like, because I've not really seen SM do this huge gap release thing much before.

 

The song is a major major grower though :hawkeye:

I see the similarities!

I love all their styling. But Jeongyeon shines with that hairstyle!

Damn. Imagine if they come out with a full length album (~10 tracks), which I'm sure they'll release this year. The numbers will be insane!

But no one asked Aespa to go global? These thing should happen more naturally. Also, It’s SM who started with this global obsession. 

 

Everyone is mocking them bc they’re no demand for them in the US yet. They failed to chart in the Spotify or AM USA, despite having multiples promotions there. 
 

The focus should be on SK

Wait it kinda makes sense, cause their yt streams are HORRIBLE, like they don't even get 500K streams daily, and yet on Spotify they get 3M streams on a single song daily :skull: HYBE payola is something else I fear. 

It's 2023, and K-pop fans need to recognize that people have turned to streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music. YT has already peaked around 2017–2020.  :cm:

The lies. The whole world literally still uses YT, and every kpop act have better yt streams than NewJeans even if you were to exclude the ad views. 

Btw, where do you watch videos? Dailymotion? :skull:

Tbh Nj mv are long, don’t always show the choreo. And they upload 672882 versions

They forget BTS and BP were huge in Korea before going global. NJ, Ive and LSRF main market remain Korea once they start being  a top group they will start promoting in the west (even if Nj already started but they aren’t rushing).
