Boa has been serving nothing for every Stamp On It stage so far. She’s very good with her details when it comes to the choreography, but the energy just isn’t there :rip:

BoA is the perfect soloist, but in a girl group she serve nothing in a group. 

Her dancing is like that, she moves just that effortlessly. She can do a whole lot as if she was just walking. People who'd think she has no energy but she's literally putting more than all the other. 

 

I have seen 2 girls able to that Hyoyeon and Lisa. Hyoyeon pulled a whole ass dance break on good girl with Kard's Jiwoo and CLC's Yeeun, the girls were gasping for air while Hyo was just barely moving.

Not 100% a stan but how did RV grow so much, they are on par with Twix now and will definitely do better in digitals moving forward

TABS without the music quality. Birthday, FMR, and Queendom we’re all meh to me (Birthday being nugu level awful). 
 

Hopefully they can release another good album at some point otherwise they’ve likely peaked in album sales and digitals

Some covers are giving me rorschach test vibes, I'm intrigued. Sugar Rush sounds good, I'm glad it doesn't sound pop-rock like some of their previous songs.

SMA is notorious for bought awards.

 

Like even this year, TNX won rookie of the year despite being last on digital and physical, 5th on voting and even with the judges voting they couldn't have won against TEMPEST. 

All awards are rigged to a certain extent with the most rigged being MAMA but they deserve a bonsang either way for FMR's success

Don't be mean to precious baby namjoon guys he was just blindly copying the racial insensitivity from G-Druggin just like everything else BTS ever did before 2018 was copied from him. When he said the N word and had locs it was in a loving way, unlike the other TRASH that SMOKES WEED and HAS BEEN IN THE SAME ROOM AS A HUMAN TRAFFICKER. My little misogynist plagiarizer RM I'm so sorry they would try it with you. Look at how far you've grown :monkey:

That makes sense. It probably wouldn’t come off that way if she didn’t look bored in the face at least.

Bought award or not, you can't buy universal adoration or staying power.

Nobody disputed that but RV has been inching closer to TWICE now than ever before

 

They are catching up in album sales, digital and heck even Psycho is coming for TWICE's wig on Spotify streams. It's wild that few years ago TWICE used to outsell RV by 2,3x times

I actually think RV is bigger than Twice domestically RN since they are still getting hits (sans birthday) but Twice has other markets (hihi Japan and the US) which make them still a huge group overall.
 

Speaking of, why doesn’t SM let the girls tour :rip:

Psycho has always been quite close to Fancy in streams ( both International Klassics), so it’s not really catching up per se. Twice also has WIL over 300m with The Feels,  FS and ICSM nearly at 300M :bird:

 

I actually like both groups and think they have very different careers RN.

I honestly don't know either cause only SKZ and ATEEZ are able to pull it off among the 4th gen bgs. "Maniac" is everything what HYBE wanted for their 4th gen bgs to pull off but couldn't. Stray Kids are able to pull the dark and intimidating concept that the HYBE boy groups just can't. 

Like when comparing SKZ, TXT and ENHYPEN's releases last year which has somewhat the same concept,  you can see how SKZ eats them up effortlessly. With SKZ it feels natural, while with the other 2 it feels forced. Though I must say that ENHYPEN are way better at pulling off the tough bad boy concept than TXT.

I swear every time I enter the thread you're writing paragraph long rants about how Stray Kids are better than TXT accompanied with poorly embedded videos and images. :deadbanana: Like do you not get tired...

The GOT performance was a serve!

 

Wendy, Seulgi and Karina in particular really brought the energy, sass and vocals!

everyone looks pissed off lmao

they look gorgina but tea, they look like they just got terrible news like they found out their Korean comeback is something NMIXX’d

I agree. I think groups were every member could be the visual member like TXT, EXO or NCT dont really fit the bad boy concept, thats why BTS, Stray kids, ATEEZ or Big Bang where most their members have an unusual type of beauty usually nail that concept. Also those groups usually have someone with a very low voice like TOP, RM or Felix.

All members are on vacation right now, Tzuyu in Taiwan, J-line in Japan, Jihyo in Thailand (although she's with managers so she might have a schedule there after her free time? Hyolo is coming :msmarvel:)

The military service scandal was originally began with some football athletes and young chaebols a while back and it getting more messy as deep investigation goes on and Ravi is the latest batch to allegedly involve with the scandal. The context of this scandal was mainly about systematic manipulation of medical records so they can serve on lighter military duty like public service worker (which Ravi currently did right now) or getting exempted from military enlistment.

A whole mess.

I mean, it would have been better if he just went instead of finding ways to manipulate it. :deadbanana:

----------

"Case 143" is literally their worst title track and I'm honestly shocked that it's such a big hit in Japan :dies: This also explains why they are coming out with a Japanese studio album next month. "Maniac" blew up in China and made them the most popular 4th gen group in China along with aespa. Hyunjin has the biggest C-bar after Karina and Winter. I wonder how well their next comeback is going to do this year, since they were able to snatch China and Japan on their side last year. Though SKZ were always popular in Japan since 2020, when they released "TOP"  which is the longest charting top 10 song on Oricon by a Korean act :clap3:

------

Do you stan SKZ or a you casual listener? Who's your bias? What are your favorite songs from them? :alexz::duca:

 

It’s not that ENHYPEN can’t pull off the tough bad boy concept, as Blessed-Cursed and Drunk-Dazed are more or less on the same lane, but the reason their recent comeback fell flat was because of the song quality. Pass the Mic is trash compared to their otherwise stellar discography. Maybe SKZ and Ateez can get away with releasing subpar material like that since they’ve built their image with that sound and their stans expect it by now, but for an act like ENHYPEN who has serving quality after quality in a more melody-driven and structurally pleasant music, it’s not gonna work.
