B-but-but gap in album sales!

 

Nothing against aespa girlies and I think they’re doing very well still, but maybe I cackled a little  their stans fixation with album sales will never not be funny. The cockiness from 2021 has still not left some of them  

 

It's a real smash I fear. 

 

The way aespa can amass over half a billion digital points this year, with such sparse releases (1 per year with almost 10 months gap between, as opposed to multiple singles like other groups) is so impressive, despite the obvious mismanagement. 

 

This plus their (record breaking) album sales is testament to their GP and fanbase demand

All this outrage and their peers are eclipsing them narrative are so tired at this point lmao. What do you want them to do? Aespa are not for every kpop fans and that's okay. Their absolutely doing fine with or without this culture you speak of 

complacent stans that dont care about culture are more tired imo. 

V working with Min Heejin for his debut

 

ngl i'm kind of pressed because I want him to flop but aside from that it's so cringe to go for the top producer of the moment specially because she's barely 1 year into newjeans

knetz saying everyone but chaeryeong is pretty enough to be center of itzy but that just doesn’t make sense to me

 

their whole brand is that “it’z different” and chaeryeong, while truly gorgeous imo, has a different look than the typical korean beauty standards, but wouldn’t that just tie into their brand even more?

 

she can be a little more charismatic on stage, but her vocals and dance are the best (or top 2) of the whole group

koreans don't like people who aren't pretty (chaeryeong is stunning btw). its that simple. it's also why her popularity suddenly skyrocketed after she got her nose tuqqqqd for sneakers era.

While I wasn't paying attention...

 

So, it was the "company's decision" for their only visual member who in their last promo had apparently figured out how to sing to leave the group?  Sounds like someone got a better offer.  And being an '03 means she's not too old for an upcoming certain project, either.

None of the current girls are stirring the culture. Aespa is good

You calling me dumb baselessly is serving italics. I sorta expected more from you.

I think the Left & Right collab with Jungkook truly boost his popularity in Korea
