Also if hybe had all these eligible adult trainees then why did Garam and Eunchae get into the group? 

I mean, I do know why but it was a stupid reason when we had all these great adult women already in the system, ready to go.

Jiwoo is 11 in SK? And with yesterday performance she’s going to keep rising since she proved once again that she’s the best singer on the show. 
 

And We don’t even know the concept of the

group? How can’t Jiwoo match the others girls like Youngseo, Minju and Yunah but according to YOU somehow Wonhee can :bibliahh:? Girly don’t have good expressions, is not a particular good dancer or singer? She’s the only one with cute visual when the rest are all GC type of fierce beauty! 
 

And Don’t cry later when it’s time to sing LIVE during these encores and it’s dragging after dragging. Mind you no girls in the Korean line up can match the vocals of Hanni which is  :deadbanana4: 

Jiwoo literally look like a gangnam unnie.

The two lineups are almost the same though

 Also miss Chanelle is very necessary ok. Groups without a native or at least semi fluent English speakers are so awkward in vital overseas promotion.

 

She kinda look like a toad and ruins the group visual. Twice , TXT all did fine without any English speaker.

Their core audience isn't adults.  It's kids who can guilt adults to get money to spend on silly stuff.

Is Youngseo the most overrated? Her rank is so high but what exactly is she serving? She’s not the best dancer or vocalist

Cupid peaked at 52.

 

can't be bothered to quote others.

 

K-pop groups do not do well on AM US in general. BP's highest peak remains #18 Sour Candy, BTS peak is #27 Dynamite and #51 Butter. Other singles have cracked top150-200 for a day or two and left the chart. Even big fanbase isn't enough to keep song charting on AM US for relatively short time.

 

The difference between AM US and Spotify US for k-pop will always be there because it is niche genre and AM US is used by totally different demographic and is dominated by hip-hop artists. Pop girls that do well there are big, household names. 

 

Super Shy peaked at 37 on AM US Pop and there is like 15 Taylor's new songs ahead of it. It isn't surprising that it didn't enter Top200 All Genre. Ofc, they do not have big US fanbase, but that doesn't mean K-pop stans or casual listeners do not stream it.

 

Super Shy is gaining traction on TikTok (130k videos currently and half was gained in last 3 days) despite Youtube Shorts exclusive challenge and promotions. YT Shorts videos have 23M, 16M, etc views. It also went viral on Twitter among locals. I can link multiple tweets. Not to mention, it has playlisting, which means new listeners, more streams and less filtering.

 

Just because you haven't heard a song irl, don't know how it is doing on other platforms, just have vague impressions and baseless assumptions, doesn't mean it isn't actually doing well and is popular among people. :hug:

Yeah I’m just curious if they do well anywhere else. I’m not even trying to be shady but I’ve legit never heard anyone in real life talk about them yet they’re always charting like some B-list artist and it really makes no sense.

 

To instantly skyrocket to Top 10 US Spotify with no genuine virality like Cupid (which took weeks of being super viral to achieve), just doesn’t make sense when they’re not some big act in the US. 
 

Sorry but anyone who thinks they have a fanbase in the US to immediately go Top 10 is delusional. Something about their Spotify numbers is weird. It’s giving Sabrina Carpenter’s Nonsense 

“Instantly skyrocket to top 10” as if you don’t know a bunch of Speak Now songs blocked their debut. Their streams are just extremely stable which is a very good sign. You do know there are some groups that are selling albums like hotcakes, getting all the US push and dropping out of Spotify GLOBAL within one day, right?

In the meantime, Seven, a explicit song with rap feature, setting to break Spotify debut record, can’t even crack Apple Music US/UK. Are we saying BTS has no fan base or what?

@MonsterNavy

Is the kind of move you were talking about regarding BP contract renewal 

 

yes! since blackpink as a group rarely does comeback anyways they can stay in YG (and I also think YG is the only label that can handle blackpink as a group) but as soloist I know huge western labels are eyeing on them as soloists for a while now so they can work with huge and best producers in the game once they fully go solo. its honestly a win win situation and will be the best for everyone
