I've been saying many times the NJ-IVE-LSFM trinity are currently the 4th Gen version of BP-Twice-RV

 

BP-NJ: Massive debut hype, debut singles reached RAK/PAK (Whistle-Attention) while the other singles outlasted their debut singles in long run (Boombayah-Hype Boy)

 

Twice-IVE: Decent debut (Like Ohh-Ahh, Eleven), smashing hard on their 1st comeback and won many SOTY Daesangs (Cheer Up, Love Dive), getting dragged for weak vocal and can't sing live

 

RV-LSFM: No idea, but I guess their concept was pretty amazing on their owns

Wendy = Yunjin

Seulgi = Chaewon 

Joy = Kazuha

Yeri = Eunchae

Hagrene = Hagkura

Sehun is the definition of a pointless, talentless member.

Maybe Successica had a point here @Zack

 

Indeed she did. Many points were made. Not just in Korean, but English too

Not Taehyun being the straight one in TXT by having a gf while also having the gayest face.

 

Wasn't that 4th Gen It boy?

I’m just ready for the lashings when Aespa’s numbers get reported.

The Blink level @ mention terrorism I'm planning is going to make the expose of Mel look mild.

I still remember the drama I started in here unintentionally when I first joined this forum, where I said that Jessica would've came for Taeyeon's wig if she also debuted under SM and wasn't blacklisted

oh wow oh wow oh wow this could've been a global breakthrough if they released it in English with proper pronunciation

This will be Nugu only and some undebuted trainees. There is no reason for companies with successful groups giving their members away for another group. This will be full of Cignatures secret number and so on 

So basically Nugudom Shuffle Any of these groups I could see having a member or two on there:

 

Cignature

Secret Number

Weki Meki

woo!ah!

Purple Kiss

Weeekly

Cherry Bullet

Oh My Girl

Lightsum

Dreamcatcher

Rocket Punch

Nature

Tri.Be

GWSN? 

ex-Gugudan

ex-Dia 

 

Sign me up! Hopefully they have more than just one comeback

How much are our boys selling with this upcoming comeback? And who will be their western collab? @Mitsuki @Save-Me-Oprah@discreetinside

My bet is 3.7-3.8M, but they might surprise us. What do you think? 

 

 

I thought the collaboration would be Paul Kim in that Mnet's programm, but I watched PSY x IDLE and they didn't drop any new songs, the performances were just their old songs. So It's not likely It' Paul Kim, even If they participate. 

 

I hope It's a real collaboration at least, not some remix bullshit like 'Going Dumb'

Even when they were the NGG they couldn’t have successful and remembered b sides, bc the gp never cared.
 

Same with I’ve on Spotify. Yeah Blue blood and Lips are charting on melon but could these songs get 50 millions streams in Spotify? They’re behind LSRFM in term of b sides streams 

 

I would be more than happy to see them have popular b sides, Lips have the most  potential imo. 

Um this conversation itself is kinda weird in the first place. Like we don’t usually see Bsides get 50million streams on the regular unless it’s a handful of promoted/viral bsides or if you’re BP  There might be some exceptions but it’s not the norm. So why are we saying “IVE is the new Twice because people only care about their TTs”? Like…Twice has pretty good streams for their Bsides on Spotify, so what’s up with this random Twice name-drop that doesn’t even make sense

 

————

im usually not attracted to guys with very sharp facial features, but Xiaojun is one of the exceptions tbh. He’s just so gorgeous

They gave up on SKZFLIX, didn't they?

Im so ******* excited for Lesserafim. That trailer was one for the history books. And they always serve quality music so there’s that.

Their last hit was less than a year ago and they sold 2 million copies of a single album and were the first kpop act on coachella's mainstage alongside it. Y'all fake trinity users are the same people who were claiming Itchy, Stayc, and Everglow as the obvious 4th gen trinity during Next Level's historic chart run. Be ******* serious for 2 seconds nobody in or out of the kpop sphere takes you people seriously for this reason.

 

are you counting Girls as a hit? Because

That was a random MNEK demo that SM probably already bought for the Girls mini and decided to record an English version of bc the demo was English and it didn't sound Kwangya'd. It was more a show of good faith with the Warner deal than a huge US debut.

 

Aespa has still yet to debut in the United States. Girls was not a debut and HOT getting minor radio play and much better playlisting than anything they've seen yet is more in line with how we should expect to see them going forward, with the added possibility of a full scale BP/Twice push down the road if SM doesn't interfere.

You spilled 100% but Hold on Tight is getting MUCH less playlisting and radio play than their other releases

I honestly don't know, but I bet they will surpass Maxident cause if all these girl groups are now starting to become million sellers and some of the almost being double million sellers, then SKZ will at least sell 3M like they did with Maxident. 

 

 

I think the collab is going to be with a female rapper for some reason, and if I had to guess one it would be Doja Cat for some reason

I wouldn't be surprised if Kep1er is toast after this flop comeback. Their contract is up at the beginning of next year we know damn well it's not being renewed.

 

it was a good experiment I guess
