With the case of RV, a big hole would be left but I actually think Joy would be center and I think she'd do pretty well.

 

With Lsfm, they just don't have that member who people think of and they know it's that group. Sakura and Kazuha (however popular they may be) are Japanese so it's not them, Yunjin is Korean American so not her, Chaewon is okay but I get the feeling korean people don't envision her as a visual or center, and Eunchae is just ... Yeri, beautiful but ultimately useless to the group.

EXACTLY. You get it

ngl while aespa's coachella set served vocals and beauty I think it did more damage than help them - it being the girls' first ever performance with a real crowd didn't help either

 

[MonsterNavy]

wait, its kinda serving when its just the top part

the dress was a bit basic (her makeup and hair were the real gags)

but i don't think it was as basic as people initially made it out to be 

 

i do wish the bottom of the dress was a solid cut rather than the 

flaps

[Butters]

"it girl" discourse is one of the dumbest things in kpop. just say they dont have enough brand reputation index points or whatever

I think “Girls” was just polarizing so it did poorly in domestic digitals. But they still grew by 1.1M physical sales and scored the biggest B-side of fourth gen so far. 
 

If we want to talk about what hurt them, it’s the fact that their first physical came out after 11 months then the next physical took 9 months and then the next took 10 months. Comparatively, LSF have three physicals out (and a Japanese single) in the time it took Aespa to get 1 mini out

sakura embodied antifragile the best  girl crush queen!

NingNing just said that they stole WTMW from naevis on bbl, it was supposed to be her debut

they grew so much in sales to the point they were the only girl group to outsell blackpink no one can deny that but I think coachella backlash and girls era overall affected the girls' confidence and aura? idk thats how I feel if it makes sense
 

kwangya bs going on forever didnt help either

 

I mean, coachella is supposed to give artists huge boost or good word of mouth but people were kinda disappointed by aespachella (understandable since its their first performance with a real audience like a said, imagine coachella - literally one of the biggest music fests and one of the most iconic ones being your first performance ) but this is sm's fault - aespa was already huge before aespachella so people were already perched and expecting a lot from them

 

its fine though, they're fixing everyrhing now little by little and the last 3 released tracks for my world are proof that they can bounce back. idk I just feel coachella did more damage overall than help them but maybe thats just me

they look great as usual but this adidas ambassadorship has been going on since they were rookies  enough

 

maybe adidas is paying them huge $$

Comparatively if we include NJ and IVE, both groups release 2 very successful Korean physicals between the gaps of Girls and My World. SM truly fumbled Aespa with all the power struggle between management and LSM

This is just weird and such a waste of money

why not just sell or donate them?

"Donate" to charity and orphanage is another issue and they're begging Kpop stan not to do so.

Coachella isn't for big artists is for experienced toring artists imo, so yeah they lack experience Aespa and half Kpop outsell in their daily basis 90% of performers in Coachella

They're on Division 1 where it's the most competent teams out of all the JYP division system. Each JYP division have its own marketing and management to manage certain artists.

 

List of JYP divisions:

Division 1: 2pm, Stray Kids, NiziU (Korean release)

Division 2: ITZY

Division 3: JYP, Twice

SQU4D: NMIXX

Studio J: Day6, Xdinary Heroes

JYP Japan: NiziU

 

Below was the number of JYP staff per division, but the last update was on Feb 2022 so it might not be the same for 2023.
