WTMW sounds amazing on headphones in lossless audio on AM :heart2:

I agree totally. But I think queen naevis her vocals might need a lil' work before her single album release though :emofish:

Reminds me of early Seventeen :heart:

I have a feeling their music will be like these but with HYBE budget

the group is clearly built around her 

they added Sakura for sales and desperately looked for the remaining members as showed in their documentary 

The group was built around Garam lmao. It's clear she was meant to be the IT girl. And now that she's gone, LSFM are in this strange limbo where there's no clear breakout star. They tried re-branding around Chaewon, and she's no doubt their ace on stage but she just doesn't have the IT factor. Seems like HYBE has realized that, so they're pushing Kazuha instead this comeback.

 

But wow could you imagine the scene in the room when they first first opened up Kazuha's audition video? All the stressed interns looking for new members must have been on the floor shaking, crying, screaming :dies:

LSRF stans bragging about album sales record then dragging Sakura in the same heartbeat as if the good sis did not bring half of those units by her name alone

SM is really ******* up hard

the material is so good :jonny6:

WHY are they in japan and not promoting??

They flew back to Korea yesterday to prep for promos

Isn’t Chaewon also the leader? 
yup this is her group for sure.

 

it’s a good thing that Yunjin is such a star and an undeniable PRESENCE in their content that she is hard to ignore, but Chaewon was always supposed to be the center I guess. They added Sakura for the sales, Garam for the mystique, Kazuha for that elegant ballerina image member and Eunchae to balance the age average for 4th gen :gaycat2:

 

but all 5 of them are amazing on stage so they have that going on for them :clap3:

yes she is 

 

Yunjin has that flavor but unfortunately she’s not the stan attractor for some reason… Kazuha is, I think 

they are doing great and are amazing performers of course, I’m not trying to deny that in any way! 

 

29 minutes ago, ItsJustMe. said:

chaewon, yunjin and kazuha are stars

 

sakura is a legend in kpop/jpop

eunchae is a filler member 

 

but both of these girlies still hold on really well in their choreographies and overall sound

put some respect on their names!

Eunchae is working her a** off to not stay behind and have her shine! I’m happy she’s having her moments now, they did her dirty with Fearless Garam version

Kazuha was for sure a blessing for them :rip: it looks like Min Heejin took the Source’s trainees for NJ and they were left with Garam and Eunchae - signed Chaewon, started building LSRFM, got Sakura on board, got Yunjin back from America and were desperate for additional member :rip: Kazuha came out of nowhere, a definition of being in the right place at the right time

This is one of those rare minis that seems like it would be perfect for a repackage into a full release.

 

But maybe they just genuinely thought those songs (especially Hot Air Balloon) just weren't good enough/the right fit for their direction.

I hope they release the solo songs at some point somehow though, especially Wake Up, Menagerie and 2HOT4U.

i'm so dumb i forgot about repackages!! yeah hopefully they pull their first repackage.

It's time HYBE embrace the fact that the Irene and Joy of their group are Japanese and run with it.

The group just makes so much more sense when it's le ssakurafimed

the tea. she was the center of every major photo

theyve been so centerless since. chaewon is the closest theyll get but even then something is still missing.

 

kazuha is gorgeous but shes not that interesting imo :dies:

Yeah but unfortunately, a repackage is very unlikely for MY WORLD.

 

SM basically never does a repackage for a mini album, only full albums. Red Velvet and SHINee were exceptions and in their cases, it was multiple mini albums being repackaged into one album.

Chaewon re-branded before they even debuted & you can even see a shift in her stage presence during panorama era especially in sequence stages. You’re telling me a group with two members from the biggest produce group was built around someone beside them? when are y’all gunna move on from garam. :deadbanana4:

Can't believe that little girl from UZA turned out to become such a legend. Her career is incredible 

I agreed, Chaewon is the ace Of LSRFM but she’s not an It girl. Just like Jihyo, Seulgi etc they lack something that could make everyone go crazy.

 

Also, The girls especially Wonyoung are lucky Minju left Kpop. With Hybe training she would have been unstoppable :coffee2:. She used to be extremely popular. No wonder Hybe tried hard to sign her.

I feel like a lot of international IVE stans have jumped ship to LSRF, just looking at album and Spotify numbers

 

Seems like Sakura is winning again 

You’re confusing Itzy/Everglow international fans with IVE. They don’t even attract the same audience

I agree with what Fanta said 

 

plus Chaewon had the most screen time and 2nd most lines in Fearless

Releasing the track video snippet on Spotify is so weird :toofunny3: SM with the most pointless tactics again, I hope the streaming numbers of these snippets can be added to the album versions on the release day

 

 

 

 

They will be deleted upon album release like NCT
