aespa needs a title track by Kenzie. I can't believe SM has only had her do 1 B-side for them so far.

 

Her track record for SM GGs is amazing (Into The New World, Oh!, Hot Summer, Red Light, Peek-A-Boo, Red Flavor, Power Up, Psycho etc...).

She does what she wants WHEN she wants it and we will deal. I'm also not here for the Mr Boogie and Danger snubs!

The 4th gen bg renaissance is upon us finally :jonny5:

 

Don't get me wrong I love the 4th gen gg slayage, but we need some balance and love with bgs have smash hits for all their hardworks and effort.

I really like the 2nd gen vibe on SKZ The Sound and glad everyone thinks the same. Happy to see Japan serving taste by giving them another hit.

Wasn't Into The New World made by Kim Jong Bae and Lee Soo Man back in 2002, Kenzie only remixed and rearranged in 2006 for SNSD.

Crazy to think that Txt b-sides are aiming to outpeak like 90% of their previous titles' peak in the charts :wanda:

I know the majority of this thread is GG stan but TXT deserves a sneak in the title thread especially with the way they are smashing :shakeno:

Has anyone mentioned that Devil By The Window is literally Bad Guy (Twink Version) yet?

Plsss the bass line is literally a Ctrl C+V of BG's & the hi-hat-y "ticking" sound is very2 similar to BG. In general, DBTW has so much WWAFA...? influences. Don't make the Eyelashes discover this song (although the additional streams would be cute ig)

SKZ will continue to flop in Korea if they didn't kick that Hyunjin guy. His bullying scandal is affecting the group's reputation so much. I notice whenever knetz discuss about this group 80% of the comments will be about Hyunjin and his bullying past.:rip: Considering on how Soojin/Garam are forced to leave the group I think there's no way Knetz would tolerate him in the group. But then on the other side, he is the most pupular member outside Korea. :cm:I wonder how JYP will handle the situation in the future. Maybe he should give more payola to Lee Know and Bang Chan, they deserve more than Hyunbully.

Not the Felix exclusion when he's the most popular members after Hyunjin. :biblio:

 

But the Lee Know payola is something @Pluto2022 would proud of.

 

Anyway JYP need to give more payola to 3Racha members especially Bang Chan and Changbin for the 4th gen bg muscular men representation especially after Wonho being enlisted. Would love to see if Han suddenly decide to hit the gym after hearing the Le Sserafim workout plans :fan:

Do we know which genre is exporting better right now? Kpop or Mangas/animé ? 

 

I think visual media always trumps. even kdrama seems bigger. like, squid game was bigger than any kpop group.

Didn't look that obvious.

 

I think all of them would start hitting gym more often after hearing Le Sserafim workout plan and Kazuha being a beast :fan:

No explanation was given but judging by how all the scenes except the dance parts are still included in the new one, I'm guessing they changed the choreo! 

what kind of songs or girl group concept will BaeMon be releasing?

 

i still think it might not be too far from Blackpink

 

tho if BP released Whistle, BM might release Boombayah

 

 

i really thought that it's the chance of YG to have a cute concept girl group just like SNSD or Twice, but that concept in kpop is not a hit anymore unless that resurge or whatever.

Bang Chan is the hottest member for me, but you have to be real, he has no chance in SK, Felix and Lee Know are the safest choices. 

I don't think muscular men are that popular in SK,  Shownu and Wonho are the most well know, but it hasn't help their dosmestic sales that much. 

SRR pre-chorus build up and outro are LEGENDARY but ofc they had to ruin it perfectness with that awful chorus :bam:

And all TXT b-sides this time sound so familiar with other releases but I can't pinpoint what songs they got inspired except the first song which is basically Bad Guy rip off  :rip:

Yeah as much as I want the Bang Chan and Changbin payola, but Felix and Lee Know payola are the most sensible and safest choices considering the entire DanceRacha lines are occupied the top 3 popularity among the SKZ members.

I'm here for Joe Rhee aka Vince to take control of BaeMon (too bad he is under TBL now)

 

But then again TBL is acting like YG, Vince has a whole album ready for years and still not released.
