Damn the way this user spilled once again. Aespa and StayC token/bandwagon stans end with Girls and Beautiful Monster respectively. IVE, LSFM, and NJ are no exception once any of them underperformed.

 

 

I agree with the bandwagon stan notion to a degree, but I can’t say that I would put aespa and a group like STAYC in the same box. Yes, they’re both at the same crossroads professionally to where there’s a lot riding on their next releases, but it’s more of regaining a position of power for aespa as opposed to STAYC, where success is probably most critical for their survival.
 

Aespa is indeed suffering from a major internal shift right now, and while they did lose a lot of general support from the mismanagement of the GIRLS era, they still have a strong enough fanbase as solid foundation (evidenced by their concert sell-outs, social media engagements, and not-as-impressive, but nowhere disastrous recurrent streams). I’d even argue that they have a stronger core fanbase than IVE or LRSF, who have mostly been benefitting so far from a large recent spike in that general support. It’ll be interesting to see where the cards fall once either of them suffers from an underperformance, like you mentioned.

glad to see people finally starting to see the light and stanning the better song

It’s truly one of the best pop songs, the fast paced tempo with the synths really gives a nostalgic feeling yet still pumps me up. People just pretended to hate it because it wasn’t “signature Twice” I guess 

tbh the fact that it isn’t “signature Twice” is what made me love it bc I still mostly hated their old sound at that point (it has since grown on me quite a bit)

Ditto >>>>>>>>>> OMG anytime and day

How does the point system even work?

 

Ditto - 0 sales, 5.4m streams = 38 points

Moonlight Sunrise - 6k sales, 5.2m streams = 39 points

 

6k sales only worths 1 or 2 points?

OMG is my #1 song of 2023 and I had no interest when it was first released. The “I’m goin crazy now BaBEY, ba-BABEY” part is so catchy  

such a random part but I agree that whole section is so good, with the "my heart is glowin'" conga line and the transition back to the chorus with Hanni's iconic "cause heeeEEEE"

 

it's art.

I liked Beautiful Monster but those bsides were indeed so disappointing. I expected at least one that's great 

 

Anyway at least POPPY was excellence so I'm excited for next comeback 

OMG's post chorus is sooooo good

twice probably had more free streams from youtube which are weighed lower than paid streams

the "they keep on asking me who is he" line on OMG is so out of place and off-beat but it's so catchy  I keep repeating it in my head

today I accidentally sung this line out loud and my friends were very confused

that’s my problem with it like, if it pops up I won’t skip it but I don’t actively seek it out like the rest of their stuff 

Is OMG the highest charting non-BTS/BP kpop song on the Hot 100?

Beautiful Monster is one of those K-pop songs that's really good when you put on your headphones and focus all your attention on it. The production is so detailed.

So the highest charting song by a kpop act that is not BTS BP or PSY?

Nobody peaked at 76 

Jungcock is rumored to be the new CK ambassador. He’s not the most handsome but his body and his tattoos (except the army’s one) make him so hot
