The fact that IZ*ONE gave us more icons than the other Produce 101 groups 

 

their groups just have more budget

 

otherwise the izone girls are objectively a LOT less talented than their 101 unnies

IZ*ONE disbanding has been the best decision EVER in k-pop history

So Chungha and Kim Sejeong doesn’t exist? 
 

Also Somi> Wonyoung in term of center

This is still the best KPOP project of 2023 imo (till OEC debut) :WAP:

 

 

Exactly 

not too much on the I.O.I girlies... some of them are living their best lives like Miss TABSejeong.

This isn’t true. Chungha, Sejong, Somi and Yoojung all had presence. The rest is debatable.

Their disbandment was truly right time/right place. I honestly think if they had disbanded earlier, 4th gen would have been completely different.

 

The lord smiled at us that day

TripleS is too confusing for me to get into. I did like their mini tho. I’m not looking forward to another 12 people debuting in the group or whatever. Like why.

Does I AM sample something? The chorus melody is definitely familiar 

We have talked about this before. It's similar to Ava Max's So Am I. The '1,2,3 1,2,3 fly up' part is also similar to Nmixx's Dunnn Dunn Dunn and lily's high note in O.O. 

 

Ive said you guys are on a crisis with NMIXX and we're on our way.

taeyong is probably getting the first solo since he's been in the studio a lot the past couple months. then it'll be ten or taeil. taeil isn't in the dojaejung unit because they performed a unit song at a concert last year and korean fans wanted them to officially debut as a unit. 

It'll definitely be Ten after whoever is first, SM already confirmed that.

I feel like Taeil should get a solo before enlistment, but I lowkey don't think he's popular enough to sell a whole mini album. 

 

If SM was smart they'd give Taeyong, Ten and Renjun a solo. All three units satisfied.

Third times the charm

 

Post IOI failed by stuffing all these mega successful idols into 9+ member groups and not letting the actual popular members shine in favour of promoting the unknown ones. 

 

Post W1 failed by making everyone a solo act, when a lot of them didn’t have the range or the star power to hold as a solo

 

Post IZ* found the perfect balance. Let the members debut in small groups but let them shine as the “centres” and promote them.

Doyeon, chungha and saejeong :giraffe:
 

somi isn’t a better center than miss wy 

IVE album is great, especially love Hypnosis

 

its like a Blackpink song if Teddy hadn’t let them stagnate musically 

the little drum n bass touches are fantastic :jonny3:

If you're a dance pop fan how can you NOT love I've IVE :jonny5:

 

The only skips are Mine (too basic but could be a grower), Not Your Girl (Twix teas) and Shine With Me

The rest are 11/10
