Twitter Stan says there's a remaining 200 seats so that makes 99%. Not bad for a supposed "local" group who can't chart on Spotify global

The way we all collectively acknowledge Jihyo will bomb 

 

-66 

Im hanging on to the small chance she has some kind of organic hit in korea ala Nayeon.

 

Tho I'm not too worried about her Physicals, I mean, she's got the JYP machine behind her and who tf knows whats going on in that factory.

I think kpop fans are just used to GGs nowadays breaking their bones while dancing. Were also factoring choreographers who create their routines which has never been good lately except S&S

The choreographies don't need to be that hard, just more creative. I like 'Black Mamba' and I think It highlights their performance skills. I think aespa can do better than people give them credits for with right dance moves.

It's for a Pantene Ad like they did with Chocolate love. Who else can turn product placements as cvnty masterpieces?

 

 

 

 

For sure. 

 

They actually got new stylists on board now

 

 

 

Isn’t this like their 3rd stylist this year or am I tripping?

Exactly. SM is continuously giving them robotic choreos that don't allow for intricate body movements just to keep them "on brand" especially Karina who is heavily bashed for being a "bad dancer" until we got this

I'm not really following whoever their stylists are until I saw this on my timeline. They need to keep her

I need to get into their discography once I have the time. I also need Aespa to be in this list once they have their full album whenever that may be

bubble snippets are stuck in my head

their best title track since RUN2U is coming…

The way I was dragging them this week but now back to stanning, maybe I am one of those fickle kpop Stans.

I'm not going to laugh at Somi's sales because

a.) She gave me my gay kpop life with Fast Forward

b.) Jihyo is releasing this week and I'll reserve all dragging for after those numbers come out lest I open her up for lashings.

 

 

 

Jihyo will probably do 200k-300k album sales (maybe more idk). Melon probs 80 debut and go up or down based on GP reception and promotion lol. The teasers have been mostly nice so hopefully that helps with hype. 
 

Western side I can see it charting billboard albums (I think there is distribution? They did for Nayeon?). I think Jihyo has a solid international fan base and people are liking this concept so it might do okay on Spotify too. 
 

Third market () Japan, hard to say. Pop! Did extremely well here but that’s cause of tiktok and the bright sound. Twice Korean comebacks generally do well in Japan so we will see! 
 

all in all I think twice has enough demographics for this debut not to flop, if JYP pushes the performance side of things where Jihyo excels it could help with promotions and potentially get a hit depending on the song. There are more variables with the local market somehow

Yes! She is getting the same push through UMG but they just had to cancel a bunch of orders this week due to some technical issues or something, so that is a little concerning...

 

I think her sales will be fine too. I just think the title will have a set me free type trajectory...though you never know. Nayeon kinda proved that korean interest may not be limited to their current output as Twice.

the way #menow hit randomly this week and i've been obsessed

[Save-Me-Oprah]

Jihyo is gonna mother so hard

 

[New Edition]

What do we think of Starship as a company?

 

Like where are they compared to the Big 4?

 

On one hand they have had some huge stars and on the other some huge flops. They can't quite seem to get to the point where they're considered a Big 5th.

Me whenever I listen to Fast Forward:
