i mean it paid off if it wasnt for that i wouldnt know who they are or check them out

 

Yeah it sure helped a lot nn. But I still think they did it kinda early into their career and should've focused more on Korea/SEA first

The Kai thing is so gross, and people making fun of an idol for being so open with their emotions is... weird. But I guess when you stan a group of robots, emotions make you mad. Like, he knew he had to enlist and he was getting prepared for that, but to tell him last minute that he now has to enlist next week is cruel. Hybe spent years lobbying the Korean gov't to try and get BTS an exemption and wasn't able to. This idea that BTS is "proudly" serving is a joke. :rip: At least they were able to plan accordingly and enlist when they wanted to. If BTS had been given a last-minute notice like this, Armys would've stormed the Korean government just like the MAGAs.

We aren't dragging kai, It's more about exo-losers pretending like their faves are so almighty and rational while BTS members are crying babies. Twitter and this thread CONSTANTLY drag BTS and Armys for the stupidest things on the daily (someone told them to go to hell for literally no reason today?) so its quite rich that you expect us to not call out the hypocrisy in situations like these. No one said BTS is "proudly" serving, it's quite obvious no male idol actually wants to go (except Taecyeon maybe) :rip:

The fact that SM desperately sent aespa to promote in the US and pulled all that mediaplay and shenanigans...when RV are right there and could actually benefit a lot from international promo and a tour is still hilarious. RV surviving purely on talent/quality music (which their last comeback lacked) :skull: 

They got signed to US media agencies and a US label as a result of the initial promo push so it wasn't really useless. The internal incompetence and infighitng between LSM and Chris Lee are more to blame for this than anything

No news, but I second this. I miss her so much, it's been too long.

You could start w the fact that Kai is leaving in a week and they had months to prep a full group CB and arent going to after 3+ years...

This is a good way of starting. But, curiously, I'm not as mad at SM the same way I was in 2019, when Xiumin and Kyungsoo enlisted in the middle of the year.

Because I understand they prefered to wait Baekhyun coming back from military and Kai having his own solo before start preparations. It's not like they were doing nothing, even though the plans could've been better. 

 

But in 2019, most of the members were doing nothing on the first half of the year and SM could've booked their Exploration tour before the two members' enlistment, but the shows started when they were gone and we had a 6-member tour for their previous album that was ot8.

but why and how long are the girls gonna be signed to them for?

 

I think LSM just loses interest in his groups as time passes which is why he's preparing to debut another BG (last I heard) and 2 (?) new GGs while he has NCT where some members are yet to debut in a permanent unit, RV and aespa :rip: Aespa should be signed for 7 years if they don't choose to renew

If ador new boygroup release music like early Seventeen it would be the first bg I'll probably totally listen since Seventeen :rip:

Kings conquering even the girlgroup stans' hearts

When I stanned Stray Kids I was kinda afraid, cause everyone used to say JYP was more of a GG Company and they treated their male groups poorly. I think they got (in)famous for that because of GOT7's management. 

 

But curiously, I like Stray Kids' management more than how the other JYP groups have been handled and I don't have relevant complaints.

AESPA has only been out for 2-3 years how is he already loosing interest? It's giving ADHD

I think Seulgi is replacing Kai in this because the company  gave a hint days before but it was only 3 letters in one of the names.

but why though she should be working it makes no sense to sign and debut these people and nothing to come of it

With all the big groups out of the way this summer is really gonna be ruled by NJ :WAP:

 

if you are an anti LEAVE NOW

Can someone explain to me what is the point of these "Track Videos" though? They're not even full MVs for the songs? Why not just make it a visual album EP since you already filmed it? :toofunny2:

 

They should've pulled a NJ and made videos for all the songs.

They’re literally pointless and a waste of production cost. Like why would fans want visuals for half the song? And on top of that it’s not like aespa are stray kids where they release multiple videos so those little clip are all we get.

Lee sooman has nothing to do with those new groups :rip: That’s the 2 former CEOs trying to start their own acts so they can get rid of the old ones

SKZ definitely have the best marketing and management team in JYP (Division 1) :clap3:

 

Division 1 would've handled aespa's career so well :ghostface:

all things aside, i always thought that 18 months was too much like it’s a bit crazy :deadbanana: 22 months as a social service worker is even crazier, just exempt those people from the military instead

 

we also have mandatory military service here but it’s just 6 months (which is still a lot but yeah :skull:)
