“I’ve barked at multiple K-pop concerts, but the first was a TWICE concert,” girl group aficionado Jonny Schneeweiss recalls. 

Collectively known as ONCE, the audience was showing support for the hitmaking women with bark-like chants, which some of the members ultimately joined in a back-and-forth interaction.

While it was new to TWICE last year, in 2023, barking at K-pop concerts in the US is just part of the experience.

Top 10 hit in Japan It's so crazy to me how their own country pays them this much dust while Japan and China stans them this much

Of course I can't say for sure since we don't know if that's the case but I wonder if the heavy dieting is one of the causes. Sure, boygroups also have a strict diet and have to be skinny but maybe they starve less since they can work out to build muscle. Ideally they wouldn't be starving themselves during tour but considering how much that's normalized, I wouldn't be surprised if they do it and it affects their energy levels.

could be

a lot of them are even skinnier now than they were at debut

could explain the lack of stamina

The top 10 without physicals. It was also #7 on Billboard Japan Streaming songs and #7 on Oricon Streaming Chart. Since It's still peaking in the digital plataforms this week, I see stability.

 

 Another digital hit and streaming certified in the bag soon. Japan is stanning, they deserve the 8 dome dates

it reminds me of how Taylor Swift talked about not having energy to perform and feeling like she was about to faint on stage bc of her ED... and we KNOW how these k-pop girls go thru **** wayyy worse than the western ones, it's no secret that they starve to stay underweight bc if they don't look extremely thin on camera it's the end of the world.  

[Asscatchem]

how come every week i read that BP has confirmed YG renewal but in actuality the news is never officially out???? like wtf

When a random clip of BLACKPINK being "lazy" goes viral people talk obsessively about it for days, but I don't see the same energy for the clips they are doing well. The fake concern sends me everytime

I mean ppls bodies are different, maybe Lisa just has better stamina since she was THEE dancer, and she doesn't gain weight easily...

 

+ kpop schedule and touring is not for everyone.

[hindsight]

Jennie's performance style is not supposed to be like Lisa anyways, she should be rapping more cuz that's where she shines. She's the "cold" one of the group.

Giselle is a good singer and is among the top 15 best singers among the 4th gen ggs. She literally used to be at a choir pre debut  . Sadly, SM barely let aespa sing live, so there's barely material with live vocals with any of the members. However you can clearly hear her sing in their songs 

 

Ugh, where are the annoying SM Sheep when you actually need them? 

so you don’t have proof and are calling me delusional based on ~vibes~ 

 

ive heard aespas whole discography too and I’m not seeing it babe, I need her singing notes like the one I showed you LIVE to be buying this narrative

The clip that was posted wasn't that bad either. Jisoo just got over COVID too and was put right back to work too. God forbid idols aren't always at 100%. This thread begs for sympathy for idols yet are quick to drag a group on 60th show of a tour

A pre release we're eating so ******* good 

 

Omg a nice surprise. JP release schedules are so random I wonder if the title track will come out soon too 

 

I wonder if there JP label is working w other distributors.. it would be a waste not too. Otherwise Jihyo might outsell globally 

 

[Gorjesspazze9]

I’m impressed Giselle talk is still going on 😭

[Rhythm]

I'm sorry, but Giselle doesn't, and likely will never, have a vocal stage as woefully painful as this one.

 

 

And I honestly don't care how long ago it was. A BTS stan is casting aspersions on no one with vocal lows like this.

Giselle can sing. She’s not Ningning/Winter/Lily level nor is she even up there with Sullyoon/Karina, but she is currently better than any of the ITZY, LSF and NJ girls and seems to be up around Liz-level. She definitely has room for potential but she’s basically just a less-talented Tiffany in the vocal field.

wasnt Chaeyeon criticized while she was on SWF for being too weepy and unconfident. now yall are saying she’s always been a brat. the historical revision over a tactical vote on the first round of this show that everyone is going to come out losers from anyway  she didnt want or need to be on this show, was negotiating to leave from the start and the MNET producers gave her one final unflattering edit for old times sake.

She's unconfident in SWF because she's clearly not as good of a dancer compared to the dancing monsters on that show.

i think at least 3/4 of the ones you mentioned will end up in the final line up

 

Nana seems to be very popular domestically which surprised me tbh, I didn't know she had a lot of fans in korea

Nana just gives me IT girl energy, like girl got the FACE, it's unfortunate she debuted in a very nugu group like woo!ah!

So according to you Jin is a better singer than Ningning and Winter as well, since he has more live singing stages, okay I got it

Sweetie, you are literally a Garam stan and are still pushing the LE SSERAFIM OT6 thing even though she was only in the group for 2 weeks  Btw, I'm also team Garam as well and felt bad for her, but how is Garam more impactful to LE SSERAFIM than Giselle is to aespa?  It's the fact that you can't even erase an idol who's been in her group for 2 WEEKS only, while trying to erase another idol who's still active in her group?  Make it make sense
