one thing is for sure, the newjeans influence this year is gonna be insufferable, not ready to see 90% of groups getting artsy fartsy

That doesn’t make AL any less generic. IWS has been sampled many times to the point where the sound is honestly “generic” besides, the chorus to AL is so basic “you-u and I-I are more than like” like  

 

Ive is the definition of generic but that’s their point. They’re there to release generic bops to smash and promote Wonyoung

I don’t disagree when people said that IVE music is generic, but saying it’s Taio Cruz type of songs is   (even if Dynamite used to me the song).

And LSRF truly snatched Impurities from NJ's demo stacks (which have been discussed in this thread before) 

so NJ and RV share some similarities . NJ should have keep it. Idk why LSRFM take it

red velvet stans making up that nj’s music sounds like rv’s so that they can be associated and take credit for something successful/relevant 

What do you think Min Hee Jin does? I think it’s funny that you girls have to pretend that NJ’s concept is something new so you don’t have to stan an SM’d group.

I really liked both OMG and Stamp On It. What a great start for this year. 

2023 will be legendary. We just have so many groups due for two-three comebacks this year.

Wendy has been outsinging her 2/2 times in GOT The Beat now, so no.

Wendy carried Stamp On It but Yawn was more memorable on Step Back sorry

Exactly. I want to see more cohesion from Sakura & friends. They should stick to ***** bopping songs

 

The Taio Cruz is a joke since he's the epitome of generic faceless pop music 

One thing I need this year is for SM to promote my girl JOY more

 

She was literally absent in SMCU Palace. She needs to get her 1st original solo debut this year.

OMG was cute but they’re having a streak of their album release date single not being as good as their lead singles. 

Attention/Hypeboy = Ditto

Cookie = OMG

 

The mv was one of the best I’ve seen in years though. So much fun. Silly plot. 10/10 MHJ is a visionary.

So when FADspa comback?
IVE and NJs are bout to snatch the throne and SM give them a GOT comback instead?

the longevity

I think she’s promoted well it’s just that she doesn’t seem to be as passionate for her own music career as she is acting. She should be releasing more music tbh

I hope aespa changes concept to shift with the market

She wants to be an actress. The curse continues

Aespa will be late February/early March. They’re wrapping up everything on their first album now.

Even though I didnt really feel attention/hype boy and havent heard the rest of that mini I really like "Ditto", so far i'm not into "OMG" yet.

 

is the woman that created this group responsable for creating or contributing to red velvet and other groups? Why did she left SM?, They must be kicking themselves right now, also I believe a lot of companies are thinking on how to create their own new jeans or implement a bit of their sound/esthetic into their own 4th gen groups

I disagree, I think she doesn't enjoy the acting but SM keeps pushing her to it.

She has said in interviews that she wants to release her own original songs. All of her hits are covers.

 

SMCU Palace would have been a good opportunity for SM to give her at least some new music activities this year, but she got nothing.

3 mins of Jisoo 

She has one of the most unpleasant tones I’ve ever heard in Kpop. I cannot stand her singing voice. I will skip on her solo entirely  

I love basic music but I Hope aespa doesn’t forget their route because NJ and IVE are smashing. They need to keep the fun as long they don’t release a shitty songs like Girls. 
 

 

NJ is what Lonna could’ve been so much wasted potential. 

Can someone explain the Min Heejin situation.... is she the Jaden Jeong of NewJeans? Im confused

She was a creative director at SM from 2002-2018 where she worked with f(x), Red Velvet, SNSD etc. but she left in 2019 after a year of being on SM's executive board.

 

She then joined a HYBE subsidiary company ADOR and began developing her own girl group, which is NewJeans.

I need more hyperpop excellence from adspa 

 

Give us good disjointed experimental bops, not NCT rejects. This their only chance to reclaim the queens of 4th gen title.

She did say that tbh. Well at least we’re on the same page of wanting new music. I guess she didn’t have a comeback last year since it was kinda booked with RV and Seulgi. Let’s hope she releases a mini this year bc there’s so much untapped potential there

No fr it’s not even an exaggeration she has one of the WORST tones in Kpop. The song would have to be stellar for me to ignore that

right, gimme the preorder link NOW!

I’m ready to buy every version. Milk me dry YGly. 

Kpop is so fun when there is competition. Look at all this innovation. YG better be taking notes. No more blackpinked noise for Baemon or they’re gonna end up like Nmess

 

 

Melon here we go 

 

 

Joy should remain with red velvet but leave SM for her solo work and find a company that push her more, I feel she wants to put out more music than she actually does
