Watching king the land the drama is okay but why it reminds me so much of the proposal :toofunny2: but happy seeing yoona slaying the role her acting is getting better and better her voice is so different from her usual speaking voice. 

 

It's full of k-romcom cliches but i don't know it's so fun and easy to watch. Sometimes mediocrity is what sells

Remember when YG got Blackpink their first concert in Japan in 2017 and they had only 5 songs, so they performed all the songs in Korean, then in Japanese, and then some songs again for the encore...... Boombayah was performed 3 times :deadbanana2: Those were wild times....

I wonder if they can surpass ME pre orders! 
I also hope they surpassed more than 2 millions of pre orders! Fingers crossed.

 

I have no faith for the Korean charting! They are going to debut with low numbers… ZB1 are going to outchart them 

yeah i have zero expectations when it comes to korean charts (though i don’t think they’ll completely bomb)

Produce groups are never able to achieve their full potentials, due to their short contracts.

The thing that prevented Iz*one from reaching their full potential was covid public health policy and the greed/jealousy that imploded X1, causing Iz*one to catch a few strays.  And still, they did pretty well.  Even if their fans couldn't leave their rental cars.

it’s not just the usual trainee debt - it seems like it was being structured in a way that would make it impossible for the girls to ever pay it off (which is what got LOONA’s contracts voided iirc)

 

the nugupromoter thread is more in-depth 

 

 

The more that comes out the more clear it's becoming that from the beginning this Attrakt company had two possible outcomes -- either the group flops and they take all the blame and the debt into the abyss of insolvency, or the group is a hit and they get bought out for very little as they owned very little.

 

The problem that happened was the relatively overnight success of the group compressed everything into a public mess on top of the Attrakt CEO being such a Korean male privileged doofus he didn't realize his place in the arrangement, and while spending other people's money, didn't keep skim enough off the top for himself and mom!

They had a Japanese comeback earlier this year but think they’ve gotten swept up in all the GG debuts/comebacks lately. But unlike most survival show groups, their contract is 7 years so they have some time to kill :cm:

A couple of them also have to do silly things like finish middle school.  But yeah, they had that Japan promo last month and have been doing a bunch of military events and had time to squeeze in their own stadium tour. :eddie:

 

 

That they haven't leveled up their notoriety beyond what they had coming out of that TV show is kinda disappointing, but sorta expected considering the material they've been using.  Could really use a hit song, or even one of the kids doing a hit webdrama for the breakthrough.

Idk why the members and their parents decided to participate to this show. Should have auditioned to Big5 agencies instead. A lot of them have a lot of potential but a lot of them are too young 

This is the difference with MBC deciding to have a casting call and their outreach that goes beyond Seoul, leading to 80,000 applications showing up.  And if you look at the really young members, there are two types-- those who would have never auditioned at an agency in Seoul, but felt okay going to their local regional TV offices, and then there were those who were in the middle of a middle school career crisis!

It's so funny how LOONA is so chased-after by other companies, even Lee Soo Man wanted to sign them as well (and stole their concept). Everyone knows their potential was huge but BBC truly fumbled the bag :dies: 

And yet all of them ended with BBC related people.

They ended up with people who cared about them, as opposed to Lee Sooman, who cared to learn from the Polaris group the best ways to hide a bunch of money.

Jennie and the GM team work so so well together:WAP:! The direction was better than a lot of Kpop teasers concepts (including some of her own group tbh)

Even created and developed her own game with them

Like the Jentle House and Jentle Market was such a cute idea with all the Barbie references!

And how we can forget when they did all THIS just for a perfume ad !

Anyways I need them to work again for JNK1, the usual YG team can back off !

This is why making the right choices is very important. Im sure  that at least the main vocal/ center, the mini Jennie and the main dancer, (who are born after 2007 :deadbanana4:) could have been cast in bigger agencies. Now they are stuck in a 7 years contract...

The song is done.  As for momentum, if they're using this downtime to hone their English skills, it'll be time well spent!

Atp they’re no way Hybe is letting her go! Like she’s the best singer of the show :clap3:! Her and Chanelle would make the perfect duo of main and lead vocalist!

Surprised to only see males in this list?  The fact that half of the SKZ members are in the top 5 :clap3:Lee Know would've been higher if his name wasn't divided between Lee Know, Lino, Minho, hence why I hate when people don't use his, Han and I.N's stage names. The fact that none of the SKZ members are  even active on TikTok unlike groups like TXT etc. :deadbanana2:
