Are songs that are sung entirely in English, written and produced by western people, really K-Pop? What constitutes K-Pop vs. just people singing regular pop songs who happen to be of Korean nationality?

 

A question for the culture.

Well XG are not even Koreans and still considered Kpop. Like..

It’s kinda weird how both CUBE and Starship didn’t see success with their 3rd gen ggs, while their 2nd gen and 4th gen ggs smashed.

 

CLC was sandwiched between 4MINUTE and GIDLE

 

WJSN was sandwiched between Sistar and IVE 

 

Was the BP, TWICE, RV trinity just too powerful for the other 3rd gen girlies to breathe?

 

The big 3 really dominated during the 3rd gen. But Mamamoo, G friend,later OMG and Momoland for one era were able to stood out. 
 

For cube I think it’s mismanagement bc BTOB were successful during the same era.

Cupid is what TWIX should have been releasing instead of the garbage they've put out over the last two years, maybe they would have snatched a hit with that. Granted I'm SO tired of the disco/retro sound in K-Pop especially since nobody is topping MAGO but I can't make the music not bop.

I wonder how much blackpink is being paid for their performance

 

 

Definitely not this much because they were likely bumped up to the headliner spot and they didn't bring as many people as Bad Bunny and Frank Ocean did. Or may be Coachella is generous and is paying them the same amount.

And I Am sounds like it's made for WJSN, i can see Yeonjung belting those high notes :chick3: Guess we'll have to wait for Dawon to get an agency now before their long awaited comeback, then. Been 84 years... :rip:

I can't listen to I am that much because they just don't sing well and now I wish WJSN sang it.

Omg the "it's live" was tragical it remembered me to not listen them "live" again

WJSN are not flops they have a strong fanbase and more than correct sales for a 3rd gen, non-big 4 girl group, Bona is an acclaimed actress and they won Queendom 2

 

As You Wish gets a roof hit on Melon at least once a year

i wonder how WJSN feel about being sandwiched between two groups with nonstop smash hits

 

they definitely have better music overall than Sistar and IVE (although obviously it’s too early to call it for sure with the latter), but ngl I would be bitter to have such a strong catalog without the same success as my sister groups :chick3:

They sell more than sistar and have a better longevity it’s just that next to IVE they’re flops

They said they were I-POP. They just follow the kpop promotion cycle

With Cube it’s just mismanagement. Both CLC and Lightsum lacked clear vision and a real concept. They switched too much (CLC deserve better)

It's K-Pop. "Live singing" is barely a thing and some of you act brand new every day.

does this really mean anything when every group including WJSN flopped hard or disbanded after being on the show?

now don’t get me wrong the cosmic gals have some bops and yeonjung is one of the main vocalist slayers from 3rd gen but we need to be honest with ourselves considering their labelmates were/are ive and sistar

Just checked and realised barely any sections being sold out for NMIXX's half opened theatre show here :rip:

Maybe no one want to listen to that Lily's vocal

Who can sing circles around those 3 in your sig, yes. Anyways, not the point. 

 

4th gen is factually lacking SINGERS but this thread focusing only on IVE's "live singing" as if the others are serving VOCALS live is hypocritical and screams bitter because queens are SMASHING with QUALITY. If yall listen to Kpop for live vocals then...

Maybe I'm really old

Like I don't find any of the Bep1er's boy attractive :rip: 

Hopefully they can really smash in Korea tho, 4th Gen BB really need that chart power back (but with listenable song :-*)

do you know if aespa's contract with givenchy is over now?

I'm not entirely sure. They attended Givenchy's show at PFW this year (Jessica was also going to attend with them, but she got sick and couldn't fly from China).

 

I wouldn't be mad if it's over, because the girls deserve individual contracts now, they're each well known enough as aespa members to stand alone.
