you guys are counting aespa out too fast just like you used to do with red velvet

Yeah I really didn't give them a chance and here i am desperately waiting for more material

 

How tf 17 is selling 4M albums I have never heard any of their songs

The fact that people are so shook by Seventeen's success is proof that 3rd gen was almost entirely garbage. A decent boy group coming out on top was a SHOCK.

Isn’t being in the movie the promo lol? 
 

Karinas hair tho 

 

The bob + extensions look bad. Plus idk how the blonde makes her look a bit more kpop pedestrian. Black suits her a lot more. 

 

Yeah for sure. With jet black hair she was serving Selena from Underworld vampire princess realness. This generic blonde with bangs just makes her look so basic.

Some users here need to have their misogyny checked. It's deranged. 

 

It felt like that to me too. But I never checked for them much so it could just be perception. The longevity is impressive. 

It’s crazy how a powerful debut can give goodwill for years and years to come, they really impressed with their debut era and follow-up

 

Like it sets the trajectory for all the group members lives basically   And the label

 

If I was a manager/director trying to debut a group, I’d be SO stressed knowing how much the debut matters

Seventeen are successful because Scoups and Vernon are fine, thank you

Word on the street is that Black Pink isn't actually going to be the last act on Saturday. It's gonna be an interesting weekend

Acceptable! But unfortunately he is busy hooking up with a soundstage, alas

I think aespa has more niche appeal than somebody like newjeans and might become a 4th gen Red Velvet(but much bigger) like the act that kpop stans really like and always stay relevant but not necessarily the #1 leader.

 

Somi: Probably not coming anytime soon because the Black Label/Teddy has much higher priority English music. Most likely though out of the names you listed.

Chungha: Can't even get her Korean music released and has been flopping for a while. Second most likely though because she has the most broad appeal. 

CL: Alpha was a lowkey retirement album but neither her or her other 5 remaining fans other than me are ready to admit it.

Alexa already kinda had a push from that attempted US eurovision knockoff and got a mild streaming bump

Sunmi debuted in 2007, dont see her wanting to grind like that ever again, especially with how WG's US activities lead to her leaving the group for years.

All Mamamoo members are kinda limited in the US because of their racist scandals constantly looming, they'd never be able to pull off a big promo campaign without other bases sabotaging.

idk about Youha

NewJeans is my no means bad at all. They're cute. Their short song lengths get on my nerves. But the kind of vibes I get from them are like they're meant for teens and kids. While with AESPA I can see teens and adults being into them if that makes any sense? 

 

Somi: Wait so she's not coming anytime soon because they're not prioritizing her? Ugh fml then have her do music in English. I feel like she could've easily been the opening act for BP on their BORN PINK tour. Fingers crossed that she gets to collaborate with them or one of their members for her music 

 

Chungha: Yeah she reminds me alot of Ariana Grande vocally but with the performance prowess of a veteran pop girl like JLo. It's amazing and I agree with you!

 

CL: Alpha was fantastic. We finally got an album from her! At this point i feel like she should reboot her career as a whole new artist in the US and focus on crossing over in that way. Her reign has been up in Korea for a minute but that wasn't her fault. She was JOJO'd for nearly a whole decade smfh

 

ALEXA: Yeah that's how I heard from her! From her song WONDERLAND. I love Revolution and Bomb!

 

Sunmi: sucks to hear about that but I'll respect her decision

 

Oh yikes lemme unstan Mamamoo cause I will not tolerate racism 

 

Youha is cute 😍 if you're not familiar with you should give her a chance and get into it

kpop thread if Blinks just used their own base thread that already exists since at least half of them hate kpop(and at least one of them Asian people as a group, apparently)

too bad the base suitable for you doesn’t exist, because then you could do the same thing instead of insulting Blinks and BP everytime you appear here just the same way MonsterNavy is doing with RV/Yeri and now Twice 

 

how is that any different?

Anyways, the way this song unironically got me into Aespa as a previous h8er.

 

 

 

Winter needs a solo!

 

 

I love this song, I would place it in my top aespa’s songs with Lucid Dream and Illusion I think  I don’t care about the lyrics, they are so good and fun to follow 

 

and I’d rather get NingNing or Karina solo, they have both better tones and are more interesting than Winter - I think I might be OT3, Winter is kinda getting on my nerves for some reason

That's the spot traditionally reserved for headliners and is the most prestigious slot. It would just be funny after seeing Blinks parade around their headliner status to see them be essentially a sub headliner to Calvin Harris in the way Swedish House Mafia ended up being to The Weeknd last year. 

I would shut up if I was in some people’s shoes

Are we sure it's a b-side not the title track?

They're still... the headliners  No lineup placement is going to change that
And it's a festival, ofcourse the ending would go to a DJ, people at that point just want to take drugs (que mandatory Rose joke) and dance to beep boop music without having to look at the stage. Have you never been?

how is that any different? 

1: I don't use slurs or call idols stupid dumbasses every 10 minutes like Monsternavy so don't compare me to that racist, misogynist basket case ever again. I'm messy and extra but I'm not a bad person and don't have the obvious mental issues that are clearly clouding that person's judgement(not wishing any personal hate to miss monsternavy though since they're clearly going through it atm).

2: My problem is with the fandom(people like monsternavy and yourself who are extremely toxic) which has soiled kpop discourse on every corner of the internet and will continue to do so for years to come with their delusive hate speech and coordinated efforts to blow up every potential scandal for any groups they see as a threat.

3: I I don't hate Black Pink, when they do something well or release a good song I give them the credit they deserve. I was just praising them the other week in this thread, where I'm known for being an anti, for the implications of a Stade De France show and what it means for kpop's popularity as a whole now that multiple kpop acts are booking it. Their music isn't NCT irredeemable noise and at least one member is pretty talented, they're inoffensive.

I was at Coachella last year and the DJ was put BEFORE the headliner each night. This is unusual for a major US festival like Coachella if Calvin actually ends up going last. He isn't on the schedule for any date yet and there's a gap after BP assuming they get a 90 minute set like everybody else who headlines Coachella.

He's literally on the lineup posted on this page 'returning to the desert Calvin Harris 11:35 PM'
They didn't put him above BP in the schedule because he isn't... the headliner, he's the closer, and those two things aren't the same
