Lily does so many rogue things kpop idols would never do  it’s kinda refreshing (someone was saying the same about Somi a few pages back).  

She definitely skipped JYP’s media training classes 

[Kh-Loud]

Jihyos vocals on her title track reminds me of GAGA’s; it hurts your ears for no damn reason. Home girl needs to realize that she doesn’t need to shout every single note, like chilll…..

 

 

———-

Better Thing’s Bridge  elevated the song soooo much - the song would had been so average without it.

Nnn she's eating up STAYC and even ITZY gurls in fancam views that day, if only she's Korean Wonyoung will have a serious competition 

[LiamVillain]

How is stayc song doing? It is made for Koreans, it must be a hit

I kinda don't understand the point of an English single anymore when all of them flopped compared to the group's other singles. Like even for BP, Ice Cream is nowhere as popular as HYLT and LSG. Just release a ******* good comeback single with 80% lyrics in English, then promote them intensively in both Korea and WW

Queen  hope she wears this outfit to perform on one of the shows, she looks so hot.

the main goal is to increase the US/Western fanbase i think

To connect to audience who might be appalled by some foreign language they don't understand 

 

 

 

Speaking of which, the pioneers of them all. When JYP used to make good music

Twice was declining in Korea so it made sense. Aespa is a young group, there’s no need to force it. At least if they want US validation give them an English song like thirsty or even weekend   It’s literally Ariana/Doja coded

Phenomenal.

 

Generation still gets better for me 1000+ plays in, and now I have another version it

Better Things N/A on spotify, time to hang it up and send them to Japan SM

They really said "you can only see me at our sold out shows" not on spotify charts

the way Gorls and Life’s Too **** ruined any international potential they could have had

[Born to Run]

aespa really went from #176-OUT! to NOT IN with an English single after one month of TikTok promo, 27M playlist reach, a web series, Tokyo Domo, am I missing something?

are you really surprised, they’re known Spotify flops, Hold On Tight had a better chance

 

[illia]

aespa said arts not charts 

Spoiler

but in all seriousness I hope this will be a sign for SM to give it up and change the focus on their number one fan, Japan, where aespa are big girls making money with sold out shows

they should've chosen Hold On Tight instead
it's still doing 250k daily without any push, spicy released 2 months later receives 310k dailly

Well, my #1 enemy is Jihyo at the moment (who's obvi N/A on every chart) so I didn't even post how "Life's Too Short" had a better debut than this yesterday

there’s a reason why all SM artists are kind of flops internationally
