Kings looking amazing today at the Samsung event!

 

[Ryan]

This was such a messy SNSD performance. The looking at the wrong camera, not doing choreography or half assing it, forgetting to sing their parts, Stiffany, whatever Jessica is doing, Taeyeon looking annoyed

Itzy still hasn’t released their title track yet. This has been such an unnecessarily long wait

I keep forgetting they're even coming back. This promotion style is awful. No one wants to wait 2 months after you start teasing  

 

I already have like 1/100 hype for itzy and this makes it go down to 0/100. Fire whoever is in charge of them seriously

I know this is because of the concert/tour but the blackpink girls basically live in PARIS and LA half of the time I am afraid I can no longer deny the possibility of them escaping yge. They are simply too big now - specially with their Hollywood and luxury fashion socialite friends... specially the ones not born in Korea - i.e. everyone except for Jisoo- might be more inclined to break out of the korean entertainment shell.

I think the only ones who would struggle on their own are Rose and Jisoo. Jisoo doesn't speak enough english and doesn't have any charisma to make it as a solo star. She is completely carried performance wise by the other members. So a solo career wouldn't work long term for her.

 

Rose also just seems to have the least pull in the group. Losing the BP tag would definitely hurt her but she still speaks fluent english so there's some chance she'd be somewhat successful. But unlikely anything major.

 

Jennie and Lisa are the main charismatic members of the group and Lisa's English isn't THAT strong but she's capable of carrying a basic conversation and her english in songs sounds fluent (unlike Jisoo). I can see Lisa having an actual solo music career because she can PERFORM Hands down the best female idol atm with performing. Jennie I see more being an influencer/social media star who acts on occassion. Somewhat a Zendaya like career where you eventually show up to enough stuff for people to know who you are

What a boring summer for K-pop releases. Where are the bops, the summer anthems, the booty bopping jams?

 

Thank god ITZY are coming in 5 days.

The way no one knows there’re coming back next week. The massive bomb coming  It will be a tough week for Itzy Stans.

This is insane! No wonder the members were so happy. 

 

You can't buy real people to attend seeing you live and singing along with your music. Mind you, It's just a b-side.

aespa's Welcome to My World is hands down THE best girl group release of 2023 so far I have been obsessed with it for weeks.

Rose is so... boring  Even as a fan who loves her the most in BP. Her and Jisoo are those members that ELEVATE and fill the gaps in a BLACKPINK release but individually Jennie and Lisa despite their shortcomings can still hold their own solo, these two are just

 

Rose needs to do something BIG if she ever does solo, not the On the Ground bullshit she fed us with. None of that basic Gone instrumentation too, we deserve a Bleachers/Jack Antonoff type of solo era for her. To set her apart among the girlies, give us a Lorde who can DANCE. Honestly if she drops the pretentious musician image she loves to keep up she could, as a solo act, tug on Lisa's wig. She's not on par in dancing with Lisa but when she's ON oh baby she is ON. She ALWAYS sings live (something Lisa can't do 99% of the time lmfao) and gives energy and sass. If she gives us a discopop era its over for the Asian Rihanna I fear

 

Jisoo, honestly I don't know, she's the member with the most to lose in my opinion. In many ways BLACKPINK becoming bigger than K-pop itself has been a blessing for her but also a curse somewhat. BLACKPINKs influence is whats allowing her to do all these big name global brands she collabs with but if she doesn't renew, where is she going? The other 3 have clear opportunities moving into Hollywood/globally but her? She can't speak English at a familiar enough level that the rest of the world would embrace her, plus her going against YG, best case scenario they leave her alone worst case YGE throws a PR hate train her way and given how much of an bootlicker Korea is towards companies, they'd turn on her in a heartbeat. Her opportunities as a solo figure is almost exclusively in Korea/Asia, and that's hard if she refuses YG renewals.

Tzuyu looks more comfortable posing for the camera. I think her stiffness and awkwardness in posing limits her magazine photo shoots. She seem more relax now and I think that would help her land more modelling jobs.

No matter where they go 

Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, Middle East etc I know they will be a crowd puller 

 

Next month they will start their 10-date Dome Tour. Not everyone can have that 

[BTS]

No is is saying the baby monster girls are ugly 

Just blackpink have 3 supermodels 

Being beautiful is basically part of BP’s brand. It was what got them so many fashion deals etc.

They have people knowing and singing along with their music;

 

They have great brand deals;

 

They can fill 2 dates in KSPO Dome for a simple fanmeeting and larger bigger venues overseas. 

 

I don't know what a hit in Korea could give them that they already don't have. It would be cute for bragging rights I guess

Leave rosé alone. She’s gorgeous 

 

flower did wonder to Jisoo in Korea. She’s not the  most talented idol but fact is she’s more relevant than most idol. She will do well in Korea. 
Lisa has the most international appeal, the way she has like one good song in her career, and they manage to smash. She will be huge with the right promo and right singles. 
Jennie has so much potential but she will move like Normani pull a song every 2 year and do some cfs and hang out with A list celebs 

Rosé is underestimated. She doesn’t need to drop her “musician aesthetic”. Just release less bland songs. Hard to love was excellent.

I think...it's for their English single that's coming next month.

But it's a very mysterious teaser, so not totally confirmed, even the fanbase is confused
