XG is just making Y2K styled music tho. I mean they are slaying the concepts but it’s not really groundbreaking even compared to Kpop in the 2000’s standards. Like throw 2NE1 next to them and it’s not really that revolutionary 

I think I’ve said this before but the reason XG’s music really HITS is because they’ve incorporated beautiful rnb melodies into the usual girl crush sound, and that really elevates the listening experience. Although I’m not a fan of the AAVE, it’s just so overdone and it’s as annoying as Soyeon’s English lyrics in Gidle. Like y’all are Asian for ****’s sake :rip:

Since getting back into Kpop this past year, I realized how much better the girl groups are now tbh. Like they really are slaying in every area. Poor BG Stan’s left in the dust 🤭

Kpop needs toe evaluate itself, cause why is a group of Japanese girls outdoing them in their own system?  This is still SOTY and has stomped on every release so far this year :ghostface:

 

 

I mean their producer/songwriter and CEO is the man behind this masterpiece 

 

 

His mind and pen

 

Edit he also made Ailee while album Magazine her second best album.

Ajay hit the nail on the head with whats wrong with Yeah Yeah Yeah. The chorus is SO boring, yet the final version with the added instrumental is pretty catchy.

 

The verses are actually kinda Big Bang/2NE1‘d ca 2011. But that god damn elevator ass music chorus…

No but forreal actually , YG leaving in the lyrics of Jisoo singing about smoking a blunt in THG is crazy :deadbanana2: I huess they dont care caus its in english

I’ve seen a lot of hype for these girls on Twitter, but are they selling/streaming well?

They are the real deal! We still don't know how much they are selling, since they still haven't released an album yet, apart from a very limited edition of their latest single album which sold out immediately. Actually they have only released 4 songs so far which are all singles btw and still no b-sides :skull:

 

Their streaming numbers are cute and keep increasing with every release! They will definitely be huge in the future cause you can see a lot of thought and resources have been used for this group! Their company seem to be very connected in the music industry which is why they were able to snatch some western collabs such as Ciara etc... Their latest single "Left Right" also got some radio play in the US.

 

The thing that makes them stand out from the rest is that they have this extra groove that some of the other ggs lack + they have the best dance and rap line among all Kpop ggs ever, and also having a strong vocal line. These girls are just talented I fear with crazy amount of star power!

Even Monsta X doesn't believe that.

Well the audience agrees with me, since the numbers don't lie

Jennie and Taehyung are so hot

 

It’s a shame Jennie’s hotness is partially attributed to plastic surgery, and V is mostly natural. Because imagine the beautiful children if Jennie had the genetics

A Ciara collaboration in 2023 isn't anything to brag about. Now a Normani collaboration would have my attention!

How are their Spotify numbers? They all have talent, but something about them seems unremarkable - a number of them lack personality, and one of them seem to be impersonating Camila Cabello.

 

 

I don't think they're going to be surpassing IVE/New Jeans/LSRFM anytime soon.

Yeah, you can already see their growth with Shooting Star and Left Right which were released this year already surpassing their previous title tracks. Both songs will surpass 100M streams in a few months

I don’t think it’s fair to compare XG to other groups. They’re already at a deficit because Korea is xenophobic. But they’re steadily gaining fans with each comeback and doing great numbers. I think their next comeback should be trance or euro dance with R&B hooks.

 

Anyways, apparently BlackSwan has a new comeback with yet another new lineup of girls. Only one remained from the last lineup? Idc. A soap opera recast tea.

The fact that I didn’t know about YET another member change and I was thinking “Leia looks different in this video” :ahh:

 

anyway, Sriya is a STAR :clap3: This comeback was an improvement in terms of budget but I still don’t see a bright future for Blackswan, so I hope Sriya can go to some big company after they disband. I’ll be rooting for her. The first Indian kpop idol, how iconic is that? If she gets a proper treatment, she might be very popular internationally because of the huge Indian diaspora worldwide.  

A HIT group! HIT songs! HIT albums! HIT tours and now a HIT game!! 
 

everything they touch turns to gold :clap3:

Does Korea accept India as a part of Asian culture? I don’t want them to be racist towards that new girl in BlackSwan

28 minutes ago, kendoll2001 said:

 

Kang Daniel still popular among the GP, I wonder why his solo music didn’t smash as it should have. He had so much potential. 
 

also the Seventeen boys getting back to the good graces of Korean GP :clap3:

10 out of 13 members in the top 30. Poor Vernon though, the way Korea ignores him just because he looks foreign, even though he’s been in the country since 4 years old and is basically Korean. And Dino being the least popular as usual, my man is so talented and deserves more.

Well seeing all the idols doing that curry song, or YG constant cultural appropriation of Indian culture from BIGBANG to 2NE1 to BP...

Jennie is largely natural though. She looks practically the same as pics of her as a kid. I don't know why you're acting like she got everything done. :michael:

No, Asia in general is too big and ethnically diverse for every country within the continent too be lumped together as 1 culture, which is why there's so many sub continents within Asia such as East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East etc... This goes for every continent in the world btw, but since Asia is the biggest continent in the world, the cultural and ethnic differences are far bigger compared to other continents.
