Whoever did the marketing for this is such a flop
The format is so bad, who wants to search for thousands of 1 minute videos, download an app etc to get the full picture of the debuting process 
just release 1-2 episodes a week to show the performances, training, some variety etc
The contestants in A2K are way less talented but the show is doing 10x better because its just so much easier to follow + you get to see the training process which people love to see
The dream academy contestants all seem like robots with the way the show is presented

I don't watch either but it was funny seeing the HYBE stans dragging JYP only for them to have a better show   And apparently some of the top Dream girls don't even speak English? Good luck with that global group

Ok so I saw Twice on Thursday. Definitely better than expected but not great either. Kinda mad cause I overpaid for tickets, I paid 67 euro for resale ticket the week before the show but co workers got 40 euro tickets on the day of the show and basically the same seats  

First 30 minutes were beyond messy, the served some ***** but I wasn't living. All playback except goddess Jihyo, let me tell you she was CARRYING. No wonder she was sitting down a few shows before, sis is TIRED! Why is there not liveband in the first section??? What's the point of having a band and not using it for the whole show? The second the band started playing the show got better  They tried to make us sing Moonlight Sunrise acapella while the girls were preparing for solos but people hardly knew the words. In general there was way too much talking. I'll give miss Dahyun props for learning like 10 German words, her pronunciation was good. She was also the only one that tried to speak English. 

Now the solos

Dahyun was cute, very corny but at least it was live. 

Tzuyu and Sana... Great gowns 

Momo - The Move cover was cute but the pole dance didn't eat like she thought it would

Mina... Great gowns. Should have been a dance performance cause that lipsync didn't convince anyone but go off girl! Def a favorite of the lipped performances though.

Now the live band came on and they did Feel Special... Jihyo the MOTHER you are... Whew the soul of Whitney possessed her at that moment. They did Cry For Me, Fancy and The Feels. They served, people even finally got up out of their seats.

Then solos again

Chaeyoung    She got massive cheers  

Jihyo ate but Killing Me Good is just not that song tbh

Jeongyeon was cute but she barely sang 

now POP! was a collapse, the crowd was living again

 

Now ACT 3 and they finally turned the mics ON!

They sang Queen Of Hearts, a tragic song but cute for the concert I guess 

Then they did a medley of YES or YES / What Is Love? / CHEER UP / LIKEY / KNOCK KNOCK / SCIENTIST / Heart Shaker        And mics were still on. Best part of the show for sure. 

Then they performed a few more hits, there was an interlude and they came back with some flop songs I've never heard before, When We Were Kids and Crazy Stupid Love. One of these was a scream fest of the vocalists, I kinda lived. 

Then they came back for encore and did TT and ESPRESSO. Oh I fumed wtf is that song. Worst closing ever. 

 

Best members are the VOCALISTS (Jihyo, Nayeon and Jeongyeon with heavy emphasis on Jihyo cause her mic was never off like the others). Let me tell you you don't even notice the dancers or visuals when their mics are off especially in 9 member group. Or maybe if you're first row you notice them. And tbh I don't know why they even lipsync cause they sounded fine when they started singing. The crowd was very weird, everyone was sitting except like 5 songs, hardly any singing, just screaming and cheering when their fave had a part  There were also many men screaming like animals, especially for Sana and Momo. Very different to Blackpink shows.

kpop is so back

If Jungkook is smart, he won’t enlist with the other members and wait until he’s 30. 
BTS has already achieved everything they need to achieve and there are rumors about their biggest rivals BP maybe disbanding, so they aren’t in a hurry to reunite, cause no group atm is touching them. 

Jungkook just proved that he doesn’t need BTS anymore as well, and it’s the perfect opportunity for him to build his solo career for the next 4 years before he eventually enlists.

Actually all the BTS members could thrive as soloist right now especially the maknae line, and the group should reunite in maybe 5 years, while they all establish their solo careers cause all of them are doing good numbers individually and can stand on their own.

They are at that point in their lives where they don’t need to be restricted in a group anymore cause they are too powerful individually and literally see the same results as soloists as their group releases. 

[Symmetra]

Woojin in the Theater Era  love that for him.

[K$Ellie]

and the fact that the #1 is a Korean who doesn’t speak English . The show should have been on Netflix with the performances uploaded on yt.

[Eternium]

Can someone explain to me how Weeekly got the best hook of the year? They did that   If the song had an actual chorus, it would be one of my favorites this year.

From what I understand, Bang PD really wants that grand tour, which will probably take place in 2025-26. Because the group's second contract ends in 2024 according to the HYBE documents, but it will end in 2027 since the military service period will be frozen. It is expected that the members will begin contract negotiations after returning from military service. According to rumors, Bangshit actually wanted to renew the contract before 2024, but it is said that the members did not want to renew it. According to rumors, the only ones who want to renew are J-Hope and Suga.

I’m still not over how hard Wonbin eats the Siren choreo  he is such a superstar

[Odette Violet]

 

 

  This is Cinema 

 

 

They need to extend and provide 1 more EP for Spicy like Epilogue or something before S2

 

 

Then S2 premier and AE1 should be release simultaneously. Introduce another big villain, cvnty outfits for the girls and their aes, more grandiose photoshoot, more hyperpop, they need to go BIG since this is their first album.  A Koncept

The solo section seems like such a snooze that kills the momentum of the show. Just let Jihyo and Nayeon serve mother... the rest of the amateur hour solo performances need to go.
