Looks like YERI's drama "B!TCH x RICH" is doing well so far. I'm seeing many Korean articles praising it too and it's in the top 5 on Netflix KR.

 

So maybe when JOY comes back, they can give her a solo comeback instead :mandown:

 

WENDY is also leaving her #1 rated Youngstreet radio show after 2 years of hosting. Her last show is on July 2, so maybe it means her solo is coming soon!

Yeri being the member to suceed in acting is so unexpected.

I hope queen Jihyo is here to serve bops :jonny5:. I imagine her Jihyo's dating and feminist language scandals must've put a dent on her popularity so I wouldn't be surprised if it flopped digitally but I hope she at least sells albums.

 

The way that woman was already in JYPE before NMIXX Kyujin was born, she deserves a solo :chick1:

No idea what's going on but he needs a hiatus right NOW

We were talking about It a few pages ago. Not only he collapsed at the end of S-Class' stage, but he was so down during both Mubank and MCD encore, while everyone else was jumping around and even forgot the lyrics of his rap in one of them. 

He also missed yesterday's interview/fanmeeting on MCD and there wasn't any explanation. 

 

I'm worried and, gladly, their promotions will end this weekend.

I think it's unexpected mainly because she has been mostly underrated, even by RV's own fandom. Plus Irene and Joy were trying before and they're more "popular" I guess.

 

Hopefully she can get more good roles like this, because I think she suits an acting career more than a solo singing career imo. And yes she is super pretty :clap3:

Han looked like he couldn’t breathe and was very uncomfortable at the end of that Music Bank performance, very concerning

Oh wow they're doing great despite there's some choices being made at least on the first half of the album :clap3:

 

Wait not 5-Star doing (almost) double of Maxident, SKZ-Replay, Dark Blood, and I've IVE all these albums I enjoy listening to :deadbanana2:

I just know some bases are damn mad their "enemies" outstreamed their faves :giraffe:

Posted

Anyway I wish SKZ didn't finish their promo this soon, but considering most of the members seems pretty off and unwell on this comeback I think this is ultimately the best decision to let them rest for real before they get busy again in July for fanmeeting and Lollapalooza Paris headlining.

Irene and Joy tried branching out because they’re gorgeous (and it’s the only way Joy keeps getting roles :toofunny2:), but seeing Yeri be well received in this drama and her previous one makes me so happy :jonny3:

 

still need at least ONE proper solo from her (and Irene) because I’d love all 5 to get a chance eventually

The way NewJeans could easily eat this record up with like a 5-song album :skull:

 

Also I need HYBE to hurry it up with a TXT Full album cuz a 100M seems plausible for them with the album has like 10 songs :jonny5:

I forgot that they completely sold out both of their KSPO dome dates and even opened additional seats which sold out as well :clap3: Not even some of the biggest ggs in Korea right now can sell out KSPO dome like that.  They are definitely not that nugu in Korea as people claim, and are still charting on Melon with the least GP friendly song ever. It's only going up from there! They might maybe be able to snatch a little cute domestic hit, if they release a GP friendly single in the future :giraffe: 

If SKZ keep making noise outside internationally like they are doing right now, then Korea will eventually hop on board. If there's 1 thing Knetz are gonna do, it's success stanning, just like how they picked BTS over EXO in the end, after BTS started to dominate globally. Cupid is also an example of them success stanning, cause they paid Fifty Fifty completely dust befoore

It's very good for Kpop standards cause you can't really expect them to do BP or BTS numbers, cause those 2 groups are bigger than Kpop and have an audience outside of the Kpop niche that none of the other Kpop acts have. BTS and BP are closer to the likes of Taylor Swift & Drake in terms of global power, let's not. 

 

But notice how most of SKZ records are always "first group after either BTS and BP", and they are definitely the 3rd biggest Kpop act globally right now.

Both Ditto and OMG are actual singles though, and nobody forced Min Heejin to make them only release a single album. Not SKZ's fault :eatpopcorn:

and to those NewJennies stans getting brave, let me not bring up their worst nightmare:
