Giggle stats are so crazy (even if they always been #1 on spotify if counting K/DA)

Super Shy might become my fav NewJeans song along with Attention.

Hypeboy is too overplayed and overrated. OMG was cute but I got tired of it already. Now I'm starting to understand why they're going for more minimalistic sounds, it really DOES age a lot better in a long-term perspective.

I might say even if I don't consider boy groups' releases better than girl groups' releases this year ENHYPEN, EXO, SHINee, ZB1, and TXT all have released some great music :clap3:maybe noise music is losing this year.

SM contracts probably have non-compete clauses (maybe JYP and YG do as well). If you leave their label you will be restricted even after you leave. 

 

See Jessica, Luna, Amber, Tiffany, Sooyoung etc. They all released music but can't promote on music shows after leaving SM, because the contract probably blocks that. So instead they promoted in other markets (Jessica in China, Tiffany in U.S. etc.) or switched to acting (Krystal, Sooyoung, Seohyun etc.). The same would happen to Taeyeon if she left.

 

Somi is different because she was still under a trainee contract at JYP, she never debuted, so she could transfer. The big 3 agencies trade trainees quite often.

So no chance of Jinni re-debuting? :chick3:

- GIDLE being #1 for 4th gen ggs on both SPotify and MelOn :clap3:

- TXT being the 2nd most streamed 4th gen act and surpassing 1 billion :eek:

- SKZ being in the top 9 :eek:

 

The Boyz at #8?? Surely this is inaccurate. I’m supposed to believe they have more melon streams than for instance Stayc girls who have actual hits to their name?? :celestial5:

The gap between TXT and SKZ

 

corria really HATES them

The gap between SKZ and TXT on both Spotify and YouTube is way bigger with SKZ stomping, so let them have MelOn

thank you bullyjin :bam:

 

Spoiler

I honestly don't think the scandal with Hyunjin had any effect cause tbh SKZ aren't popular enough domestically for the GP to care about the scandal like that. Had SKZ been bigger domestically let's say like SVT, it would've ended bad for Hyunjin and the whole group, and Hyunjin would've gotten booted whether he was innocent or not. Btw, Hyunjin is still also the most popular member in Korea along with Felix if I'm not mistaken, so kicking him out wouldn't resolve anything and thank god they didn't! :clap3:

JYP is not like SM, just look at how the ex JYP idols are thriving after they left JYP: HyunA, Sunmi, Suzy, Jay Park, all the GOT7 members etc.

The Gayz are or used to be the most popular 4th gen boy group in Korea, and actually has top 10 hits if I'm not mistaken? They are just very local

They did a lot of evil editing of K throughout the show and made it seem like he had a very “confrontational energy”…but we all know it was because of his age and they wanted Niki a 15 year old to bring down the group’s age average.

Damn that sucks so bad! Idols need to do something regarding the law it’s unacceptable that a company have the right to blacklist an artist just bc they didn’t want to renew :deadbanana4:. Taeyeon complained publicly multiples but never left, I guess I know why now.
 

They don’t have an association or something  over there ?

What do we do ?

Thanks circle filters mass streams because no way Txt and SKZ should be this on this list

 

IVE first Asian tour pulling 97k fans. :clap3:With 2 multiply dates for Bangkok and Taipei. The fanbase is secured.

Korean labor laws are notoriously bad. You only need to go on YouTube to see all the horrible stories of how workers are treated and if you're foreign, it's even worse.

 

They do have an association but it's bad. Remember Sorn when she had to fight to even get paid properly and they took a long time to resolve it

 

The rights come from the contract that was signed most likely. But obviously these companies have a lot of power and pressure over the trainees to sign exploiting contracts and if you're desperate to debut, you will feel forced to sign it

He absolutely is. There’s no denying Baekhyun’s extensive range, but from a technical perspective, Kyungsoo has him beat. There’s a reason Kyungsoo did most of the carrying during a chunk of their rookie years. That is, until Baekhyun proved himself to be more reliable (he continues to receive vocal lessons so I’m sure that helped a ton). 
 

Chen - good

Kyungsoo - proficient

Bakehyun - above average/lower proficient range

Absolutely not. Kyungsoo doesn't have the range or technique that Baekhyun has.  He has also regressed vocally, watch any live clip and he's pitchy even in a comfortable register. I'm tired of this take from exols
