so far, 2023 is looking good for YG ent

 

- babymonster (there's no way they're flopping - they can underperform but they will not flop lbr here)

- jisoo solo debut

- gdragon comeback

- treasure will obviously keep releasing too (and world tour)

- blackpink world tour continuation (stadium dates, music festivals etc)

 

now all we need is that blackpink 2023 mini album & jennie mini album confirmation and they will be saved once again

Kpops physical market legit irks me, like yeah when my favs do good ill celebrate for them but my god is it all so sinister. 

Like do these months to 1 year old groups really have so many fans to buy THAT many albums? And will those sales ever translate to ticket sales?

I know we joke on bulk buys but it just turns my stomach so bad, the west put restriction on tour bundles why isn't korea doing something of the sort, all this mess is so WASTEFUL i hate it, Japan too.

 

I actually have a conspiracy theory that the big agencies have enough money to sometimes bulk buy themselves, idk literally everyone in the industry gaining album buyers doesn't sound realistic, especially if its over obsessive teens. Idk maybe its over obsessive adults who squander their salary for some bragging rights. Whatever the case i need it DEAD, its killing our earth.

I agree that's why these 4th gen album sales doesn't impress me much - unless the "million" sales are matching with their streams, star power and tour numbers

We stan a group that has million of album sales and streams 

They are the only musical act in the world in 2022 to top B200 twice along with Drake 

 

Stray Kids, SVT & NCT Dream are the trio that can replace the BTS so far. I hope they keep growing in streaming while bots are gone cause the sales are already there. Enhypen & TXT are coming for their sunbaenims too

so is jennie's you & me just sitting in the basement for a year?

Reminder that Lisa and Rose were announced in 2020 and Rose released in March 2021 and Lisa in September 2021. And both allegedly already recorded their albums the time YG announced it back in 2020.

i still cant envision how a jisoo solo would look/sound like.

she can't pull off vocal-heavy tracks, and her solo performances in concerts proves she has no identity herself when it comes to music

if she serves a drop though

I feel like it's going to be a faceless pop song like Liar and Clarity, but a punk-pop/rock-pop song would be perfect for her raspy tone

When is the NewJeans song releasing give OMG to us NOw

I didn't lie back then either though? 

 

I know that Jihyo and Yujin and objectively better singers than Momo and Gaeul, but their vocal tones are just not doing it for me. 

 

I know that Momo and Gaeul are objectively the weakest singers in their groups, but they have my favorite vocal tones in their groups. 

 

Like it's really not that hard to understand 

You literally said Yujin > gaeul

its sad bcs there used to be a fire to them during eleven. maybe they had a longer period to prepare for their debut or this year has taken a big toll on them mentally but they give 5 year old gg close to contract termination, not the usual rookie drive and freshness. i fear that success came too easy for them and now they're just coasting and taking it for granted.

Always somehow blaming on them when it’s SS, they have been serving 0 energy because they been overworked since day, poor girls can’t catch a break not everyone is twice and can be consistent all the time. Add the fact SS doesn’t think like a top company everything is cheap compared to LSR/NJ. I agree however SS thinks because they got one top group after a decade can get away.

Boy groups not getting hits doesn't mean the music is terrible, there's great boy group material out there, let's not act like Love Dive / After Like or R2U are the representation of great music lmao

 

 

They’re actually. Acclaimed pop masterpiece. We love to see it.

Only 800k? I expected 1.2M to 1.4M 

They will pull 1M as long hybe ships the album. NJ had 500k preorders and has now surpassed 800k

It's a single album. Those will always do less than a mini or full. It'll probably cross 1M in the long run anyway

Not really. No one cares about how many songs an album got tbh. 
 

 

I just already know how jisoo’s solo sound and I’m already disappointed  Expect For solo and gone all the solo have been faceless and served no artistic growth. 

Theres something about Jisoos voice that just puts me off.... Its like her voice is in a permanent state of being filled with phlegm, not only is she nasal but she also sounds like she has jellybeans (not rocks) stuck in her throat.

 

I love her I think shes fun but shes always been the worst part of every BLACKPINK song imo

The way some of you were very excited for Jisoo's solo last year and saying it would be BP's best solos and now you all switching after her solo is now confirmed for this year 

Glad that Jisoo is finally getting her own solomeanwhile I'm also looking forward to a Rose X Jennie unit, I need a full album from them

As if any RV&Twice girls' solo served artistic growth

None of their solo music is interesting. At least BP members' solos are megasuccesses
