Looking at Jungcock’s recent solo releases, I’m not very excited about that tbh, no matter who the producer is. 

that 2007'd song he did for the World Cup was so bad

 

it's concerning that he even had his name associated with that

 

 

 

the biggest gag here is that Teddy actually wrote a song with lyrics in the chorus and no drop

It's not a coincidence that Teddy's work that doesn't sound like musical terrorism is made with artists who are known and acclaimed for their active musical involvement. Any YG group debuted post 2015 doesn't have that. The problem was never Teddy it was "singers" who need to talk or chant their way through songs exclusively.

is BigBang still a thing? Isn't G-Dragon the only one left that still has a contract with YG?

Yeah they’re still together. Just on a hiatus for the time while they work on other projects.

They claim its just a hiatus and that their obvious farewell song was a re-debut as OT4 but unlike SNSD I don't see them coming back together unless the solos start flopping(very unlikely since Taeyang and GD could get microphone static to chart for weeks on end). TOP sounds completely done with being in a group and BB would promote as GDYB before they ever went to OT3.

Taeyang is such a daddy

 

Also for the record @Eternium of the few shows boxscore reported on from BB in the US, you're correct that it wasn't technically sold out by like 150 tickets, but it WAS a higher boxscore than some dates from Taylor and Shania in the US at the same time. $1.7m in an single date at an arena is still an extremely respectable gross in 2023 after almost a decade of inflation.  This was in 2015 when not even peak EXO was profitable in US arenas. Pretending BB didn't crack the rest of the world open for the sake of SM company stanning won't make it come true.

is kinda crazy that Taeyang was able to chart on the Hot 100 a few months ago but Jisoo's debut didn't do enough to chart at all even with all the hype

 

I didn't think the Hot 100 was THAT hard to get onto

Big Bang was pulling higher grosses in the same arenas as BP in the US in 2015, before the kpop craze($3,397,699 in a single night at the Prudential Center). It's really just that the pinks are less popular than BB was at their peak, even in the US where the stinks clutched onto imaginary relevancy for years.

These ancient show grosses are actually very enlightening. I wonder what other global Big Bang stats go underreported because YG had no reason to media play them outside of Asia.

its insane that they had per-show grosses that were on par with certain shows of the MDNA tore and the 1989 tore

 

good for them

It wasn't just the US either, BB's peak in Japan was also outgrossing and had higher attendees than TVXQ who are allegedly bigger than Jesus Christ in Japan or whatever.

Idk what possessed me but I watched some Nmess live performance videos and I was *******  floored 

like what do these girls eat…the amount of energy that they bring to their choreos and still sing LIVE with such clear and stable vocals.
I’m sorry but they are EASILY the best performers of this generation’s ggs who sing live and kill it. There is just no competition AT ALL. Their only competition in the previous gen is Mamamoo I fear, and even Mamamoo doesn’t have complex choreos. So ******* talented.

 

and I’m saying this as someone who has only truly liked ONE song from nmixx so far 

 

Nmess stans where are y’all at, y’all can brag about them as much as y’all want, more than these other stans 

Edited April 10, 20233 yr by Witnessed ET

NETFLIXX Lily is technically a very good singer but something about her vocal tone is very off-putting

 

someone should do a study

 

 

 

NMISS seem to be getting a bit of hype in Korea especially due to their lives/talent. So don’t think JYP is pulling any strings on melon ( would they have let twice flop into oblivion if they doing this ?).

 

Even YDS is doing well on melon!

Wasn't YG accused of mediaplaying about Big Bang's japanese tours where apparently a lot of concerts weren't selling out completely? They did something similar with Blackpink's japanese arena tour in 2018 too I think.

 

I think The Nikkei concert mobilization power list which the link is about only counts the total capacity of the venues not the actual attendance of the concerts. So if 40,000 people attend a concert or 50,000 people attend it the list counts it as 50,000 if the venue has that capacity.
