I actually adore him and I’m really happy SM gives him the possibility to shine solo, but in the success department… it’s actually crazy how well thought his concepts and album are and then aespa is N/A :rip: the Girls ep packaging and photoshoots were a mess too 

 

it just shows that sm are capable if they want/the artist is more involved

adding delusional idiots to my ignore list. not having a comeback for 7 months is not the end of the ****ing world. i could list all the many many issues nct has experienced but i'd get ignored. 127 went over a year between cherry bomb and their 1st full album regular-irregular and it took dream almost 5 years to have a full album.

Everybody knows this aespa comeback might be their make or break moment. I know it, you know it and most importantly SM knows it. They don't want to mess it up. It's okay a NCT unit or a soloist or whoever has a flop comeback because they already have an established fanbase and/or a legacy. 

literally this. sm is obviously being extremely careful (and indecisive...) about aespa's comeback especially with it being their debut full album. that along with the usual sm mismanagement that happens to everyone.

They are. HYBE would be unwise to still live off of BTS sustenance, its in their best interest to invest in the upward trajectory of their latest acts ENHYPEN, LSF and NJ.

 

LSF and NJ especially are catching up very QUICKLY in physical sales, their first full albums will easily be million sellers, NJ is guaranteed a global smash with their next comeback already. 

 

Maybe this'll be good for BLACKPINK since YG will finally be forced to act right and treat the girls RIGHT! :fan:

its two birds one stone. YG won't accept that there will be a new gg dethroning blackpink and breaking their records left and right. and YG def won't accept that newjennies are gonna be the 4th gen leaders and not baemon.

 

this will be interesting imo. with the blackpink contract renewal too.

I expect an spotify autoplay payola for bp's next comeback

I think the Girls era caught SM (and 90% of us) off-guard and they probably had to re-plan everything. They should've released an excellent digital single like Next Level to keep momentum and that would've bought them some time to perfect their debut album imo.

I agree, a single in November would be enough, at this point fans are starting to move on/getting angry

GG stans on this base need to calm down like for real, BP went through this and it was hell but we all made it out alive but there is absolutely no reason for the energy you Aespa stans are directing at other SM acts, Aespa's issues are theirs to figure out and its something NCT stans have been hellishly going through as well, this is all SMs incompetence, calm down.

Not really. Ygly doesn't care about promoting them. Their motto, bare minimum investment and max profit. Now that they are 7yrs old, expect every album release to be like born pink's non existent promo and we will be only seeing bp in tours and festivals, if they renew. Also yes I do think the girls would be doing solo stuffs more now, which wouldn't be as promoted as ot4 stuffs. Basically bp is a legacy act now, yg will only treat them as cash cow.

Well... Key is in charge of his own concepts and his budget is very limited (he has talked about this multiple times) because SM knows he isn't successful as a soloist. However, SM wouldn't give him multiple comebacks if they lost money with him. It's a simple 1+1=2.

This is the BLACKPINK stan in me speaking but BLACKPINK DESERVES to still be the #1 K-pop group even during peak 4th gen reign. Like, they just are THAT girlgroup! Its not about the budget but the attitude and the charisma and individuality? They DESERVE to be #1.

 

But YG really is the only one holding them back, had they given BP more comebacks hell give them the same old Teddy beat drop lead singles I would be fine but more music should've been given, I hope their contract signing forces YG's hand into promoting them more and giving NewJeans, aespa, IVE and LE SSERAFIM a good competition.

 

It should be noted though that BLACKPINK is beyond K-pop at this point. I know K-pop is a genre but its also a market and BLACKPINK has broken out of that sphere since KTL. NewJennies have a lot to prove and I sure hope HYBE gives them all the resources to be as big if not bigger than BTS and give K-pop an actual western SMASH so that YG finally trembles in their boots.

anyways stream ay-yo!

NCT's new song is... confusing. The MV is a serve though

 

 

BoA released the best SM noise in the past year. Maybe we should put some respect in her name

 

I think the problem with SM is they are having way too many acts to manage at the same time

- BoA

- Taeyeon

- Hyoyeon

- All 4 Shinee members

- NCT and their 1000 units

- RV

- aespa

- Super Junior 

- EXO

- Baekhyun

- Kai

 

Now compare that to JYP or YG or HYPE. Maybe SM should start saying no to useless solos/comebacks like Hyo, SuJu and the SHINEE members. Or disband half of NCT units or kick some of the hags out of the company :celestial5:

It really depends on the contract, BLACKPINK if they choose to still be musicians could force YGs hands and force them to stipulate more music releases, thats not unheard of in the music industry.

vocalists!

Notice how none of them are vocal HOLES (like Eunchae and Sakura i love LSF but those girls just ruin ANTIFRAGILE for me) see when you have 5 decent vocalists >>> 2 good and 3 terrible singers.

I ADORE BoA BUT HOW are you going to praise her and then ask SM to pay less attention to people who do WAY better than her physically? :rip:
