Am I the only one who gets annoyed by track videos? Like why cut off a minute or so if you already went to the trouble to even produce an mv? Release the whole thing and call it a day.

Is Garam having a comeback or something? Why is everyone talking about her suddenly?

She is timeless and will always be part of the Kpop zeitgeist :alexz2:

I’m never not dumbfounded by SM’s marketing decisions.

 

They could had both Thirsty and Salty and Sweet as pre singles like a month ago but they decided to cram everything into one week.

I wonder if SM is having money to spend on promotions for aespa at all? Like billboards, spotify ads, melon ads, tiktok ads etc. :swan:

the thing is I didn’t say Yunjin was meant to be the center :rip:

 

what I mean is that everyone but Chaewon and Sakura were supposed to be filler members (see: IVE) to allow them both redebut and secure the sales (Hybe tried to get Minju too) > it just happens that rn Yunjin is that cvnt girl, Kazuha is getting ready to snatch the center and Eunchae became famous and generally liked maknae

 

whole group is well balanced, somehow they managed to avoid Wonyoung situation :coffee2: but I still think they were building the group around Chaewon, she has the most screen time in Fearless, was branded as the vocalist from the start, got leader position, got a full makeover, was already famous… like, the signs are there 

 

what happened to Garam is a tragic story and I fail to understand how the whole nation can do such witch hunt after 16yo girl but her departure didn’t cause any damage to LSRFM in the long run

I think it's the reverse, really. They chopped off Chaewon's hair so she could fit the concept, not the other way round. You wouldn't debut with a model concept if your center was short (lowkey im still waiting to see if she can make long hair work with their concept because im tired of that bob):rip: 

 

and HYBE kept quiet about the whole scandal for weeks hoping that it would settle down. that's center privilege. Why else would they take the risk debuting a girl with a problematic school history? Trust that if it were eunchae she would've never made it in/gotten kicked out IMMEDIATELY

If they could make a whole perfume for a random NCT unit they could’ve given Aespa something.

WTMY made me relisten to Siren and I can’t stop playing it in loop:WAP:

 

 

feels like Siren could be an answer to WTMY, both giving that eerie, spooky & majestic ambience. I wish it could’ve been aespa’s song it’d be so cool:jonnycat:

When you think about it would it have been that hard to make teasers for the pre release and track videos? Had them do a countdown or a few lives?


And why are they even performing their old songs in Japan? Is it to prepare for a Japanese release?

I was watching that youtube drinking show with DK and Joshua and it made me realize that Joshua very much looks his age lol. Not saying this is a bad thing (he's me fave) but I would absolutely be able to tell he would be in his late 20s. 

 

Also on show, the host said he has a face that would be in American tv shows and be the nice guy and I totally can see it. 😂

Chaewon is the only one I find interesting in LSRFM. Yunjin seems a little too try hard for my taste (same issue I have with IVE's Yujin but she's toned it down a lot). 

 

In terms of interst:

 

Chaewon > Sakura > Kazuha > Yunjin > Other girl

The way everyone likes Chaewon - the most acclaimed 4th gen idol gen I fear :1stplace::clap3:

Yes, they are allegedly releasing japanese music after their Tokyo Dome shows.

You’ve summed up my exact assessment on LSRF. Down to the detail.

People here are obsessed with teenagers if you hadn't noticed. All they need is to have a pretty face and supposed potential. It's beyond creepy.

 

Who knows if garam even wants the continued theatrics from her fans.
