there's no way aespa's cb won't flop atp, the hype is completely gone, their fans have moved on to other more active groups, SM's controversy made them look like fools and to top it off we've already heard all the songs (and they're not even that good too)

 

just disband them and let ningning make solo r&b music :biblio:

I hate that her name is NingNing when all the other members have HBIC sounding names. Wish they went with Vivian which is apparently her name translated into English? Yeah I've heard of AESPA but didn't really get into them until they dropped their mini album GIRLS and I've been hooked ever since

aespa :rip: imagine being a myblink :toofunny3: I hate it here

I am. I was scared to out of loyalty to the BP girls but I. AM. HOOKED. On both Karina and NingNing. They're so magnetic.

Do you have any guesses why? and I bet SM will be the first to brag about it's achievements (that's if they even acknowledge it) 

The Kakao deal tying SM's board and management to Warner's competitor + the prospect of HOT taking off potentially limiting the success of the SM-driven real comeback in a month(pretty sure NOBODY from SM is credited on HOT and it's being distributed exclusively through Warner so they make $0 from it). 

 

The song literally only had a press release in Korea at first, whereas internationally they were on Beats 1 radio, added to some radio playlists, had promo tweets from major press outlets, and on the front of AM playlists(it's a song for an apple movie but that's still a monumental act of promotion in the US where AM is huge with the gp).

 

SM is hungry for US success but to this point they have been very stingy with giving US labels full access to their idols. SM 3.0 was supposed to alleviate a lot of the SM-first ideology but so far we still have an obvious potential hit being given less promo than LTS. :bibliahh:

At first I was confused too until I learned Ningning is literally a stage name and her birthname is Ning Yizhuo. :bird: Ningning is short, memorable and unique too!

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

Seventeen is so successful :rip:

 

I really felt like they were starting to fade 3 years ago but the numbers prove otherwise 

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

For my own sake I'm just gonna hope it's cause they're going all out for the comeback and don't want it overshadowed! :deadbanana4: They filmed an entire mv for a bside overseas and even had Tesla's as props so maybe we have an even bigger hit coming our way :WAP:

Do we think aespa is going to be involved with the Barbie movie? Karina's blonde hair and the recent filming in the US combined with their labelmate Dua being in the movie is giving me slightly sus vibes.

LICE fans are really out of control since their favs started bombing, im worried

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. :bibliahh:

Isn’t being in the movie the promo lol? 
 

Karinas hair tho :deadbanana4:

 

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.

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 :skull:  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:ducky:

Why would this matter

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)

future.jpg

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 :rip: 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 :rip:

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. :bunny:

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

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