    some of the new members not giving new at all 

yall are still arguing about newjeans/fx/red velvet concept similarities? even god rested....

The paragraphs for a 20 second teaser and blonde wigs :deadbanana4:

 

Who cares who did It first or If its something new? 

to call mhj a one trick pony is just laughable (still **** her btw she can rot in hell) attention has a different concept than hype boy as is cookie with hurt as ditto is with omg just because she uses the blonde wig as another inspiration for newjeans ( rv automatic, icc) and the woods scenery (fx) doesn't mean she's out of creative juices :duca: it means she has a signature style

They better come to my country

some of you are kinda serving the same delusion as Blinks posting pics of Aespa members with the same hairstyles as BP calling them copycats :dies:

Ooh! This sounds really fun! :duca:

It indeed sounds really fun, I’m SAT

Their set and aesthetic may be familiar with other groups but one thing that makes them standout is their filming technique It’s like a normal kpop set but with A24 level of film director and production 

Like if you check who directed Ditto and OMG collapsalation:jonny:

The 2NE1 girls really go nugu after disbandment, the disrespect that is only releasing a digital ep

I wouldn’t say they’re “nugu”

they’re constantly with jobs…CL is booked, booked

and Bom and Minzy have been touring Asia

Let's be real, MASCARA-aside, the direction they took music-wise is very American oriented. Europe is (thankfully, imo) now making dance music again (mostly electro-late 90s driven), while America (US) is doing its own thing with R&B and Hip-Hop. The girls are very talented and can do whatever they want in an excellent way, but I don't find Shooting Star or Left Right something that catches my attention despite some objectively great productions. MASCARA, on the other side, represents the reason why a K-Pop stan would/should listen to K-Pop and similar genres: there are no artists doing such music in the west AND in English.

weird generalization 

you not listening to r&b and hip-hop music doesn’t equal to the whole European music sphere :rip:

Wonder how many years of music and concepts MJH has in her binder

Well it seems like you and I have different music tastes and that’s fine. 
 

And yeah Mascara sounds more current “kpop” than Left Right but is XG really “kpop” though? For me, they don’t fall in that category and I don’t care what their music should represent…I just vibe if I enjoy the music. 

We need one jrock era with everything will be filmed in Japan from NewJeans Send your emails to ADOR bunnies :jonnycat:

 

 

smashing on youtube when they are supposed to be flop there :bibliahh:

already surpassed ditto's mv teaser too :coffee: the hype is insane tbh

newjeans is actually the top 4th gen group in terms of streaming in Japan I'm shocked :chick2: I thought it would be lsf and no ive in this? that's also surprising since i thought they had hits in japan

Seeing those riaj posts I thought Itzy had zero of those certifications lol. They have 4, that's more than even IZ*One then why the **** did JYP only book 2 japanese shows for their world tour? Do they have less fans there despite the streams?

Remember when XG first got attention because people thought they're from yg's japanese label ygex? And that Hikaru would join xg if she didn't make it into Kep1er?

So today Korea offically ditched Korean ages and now they're using the international system

One year later and still hits hard

I’m going to tell you one more time, slapping on a blonde wig for a mv is not a concept

 

Idk how else to tell you this :psyduck: a haircolor is not a concept, it’s not even rare in kpop for girls to have blonde hair. It’s not even like blue or red hair ff

All 5 girls / all girls in a group having blonde hair is not some common theme in Kpop. Like bffr :deadbanana4:

 

I didn’t say it’s exactly the same concept. MHJ is CLEARLY reusing parts of her previous concepts and it’s quite undeniable. NJ stans are the only ones hellbent on refusing to see their similarities go f(x) and RV. 
 

Musically NJ has their own sound and vibe. But conceptually they give off SM more than Aespa does literally because of MHJ. I remember many comments on their debut saying they felt more like old school SM than Aespa does.

wait so ETA first or ASAP?

I hope they will never bring guns to their mv because people are going to change from F(x) and Red velvet to aespa copycat :rip:
