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! 

 

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 

I keep saying this but Garam getting the boot was low key such a blessing for Eunchae.

Not really

 

Firstly they had Haruka, then Sakura and Chaewon joined, then Yunjin joined them at the same time basically and they were rehearsing as a group of 4 girls. Later Haruka got kicked out and Source Music started looking for more girls, and they found Kazuha.

Eunchae was the last to join like less than a week after Kazuha

 

The source is LSRFM's documentary so I don't know where Garam's place is since they edited her out completely

The dramatics over LSRFM… just because bully girl was a bully doesn’t make her more interesting or captivating, it just meant that she managed to fit the bill by having a bad attitude. Those people don’t make it far sorry

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? :deadbanana4:

Yeah? Love the two of them but it's painfully obvious how shoehorned in the two of them were, especially in the beginning. 3 tall girls modelling on a runway and.... Then theres these two shorties... And eunchae :rip:

 

Sakura is too old to be pushed, and shes kinda already at/past her prime anyways. And as mentioned, chaewon doesn't have that magnetic draw that it girls need off stage. The group needed a rising star and it was Garam. Do not care for her but she was obviously the center.

kazuha > garam

the GP clearly agreed with me since she went viral for her beauty the day they dehuted :giraffe:

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:

Sorry she most definitely has the IT factor. She’s infectious on stage and draws all eyes to her. That is it factor

 

ALSO. I do not see what y’all saw in Garam. Kazuha is more of a visual than her if we’re being honest :michael:

In hindsight I somewhat feel bad for her but she had been bullying even recently before debuting....she would have had an Irene moment sooner than later.

Garam having stans is so weird, the girl was in LSF for a week.

every time i'm playing aespa in Spotify and i listen to Beautiful Christmas i know it's time to skip

Like others have mentioned she's the jihyo/seulgi/etc etc etc. She's amazing on stage. No one's denying that. But that just doesn't carry over OFF stage.

 

Agreed about visuals but what we see is irrelevant. What's important is that Garam is stereotypically pretty and she's korean. Like.... What kpop group has had a center that ISNT korean? Is there a single one other than ZB1? And even then it seems like wakeone is tryna push the no.2 spot instead lol.

you cant wear garam wig and be garam

Garam didn't invent this hairstyle

Anyway none of this mess with LSFM's post-garam center would be happening if Minju had just said yes :rip:

okay, I might be wrong about the filler members (Garam?, Eunchae and Kazuha) but they for sure started building the group when they signed Chaewon and Sakura

 

and Haruka wasn’t their priority, obviously, since she got booted 

 

also, isn’t Garam present in their docu but just blurred out?

They really slayed it :clap3:

 

OT: I was also quite surprised by how dark the theme of the track video actually is...considering they've been mostly in FLAT/KWANGYA in their MVs so far, it's slightly odd (in a good way) to see them doing this and covering difficult real world topics through their music

 

I hope SM is smart and finds a way to make their music relatable to the public.

Wasnt garam a trainee there from the very beginning? Even before chaewon and sakura joined. I remember some tweet about that. 

I’m actually kind of shocked to see that I’m in the minority, but I’m not really impressed by Kazuha’s visuals at all personally. Wouldn’t have even know that she was the group’s visual member, had it not been pointed out a few times.
 

If anyone, I would’ve had Yunjin pegged as such, who eclipses her, and Garam easily would’ve as well.

No, Garam isn't even blurred out, you can only see her hand or hair sometimes but they specifically tried to crop the shots in order to not show any signs of her existence

the amount of people obsessing over a member that was in the group for literally a day is killing me. that one member is starting to remind me of monsternavy…:bibliahh:
