Save-Me-Oprah Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 Woonhak is so cute and talented, he's got such huge potential I'm glad they haven't pivoted to a mature concept and kept it age-appropriate which has allowed him to maintain his innocence, something HYBE hasn't done in the past with the likes of Ni-ki or Eunchae.
Lovit Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Pluto2022 said: 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. The situation is a bit confusing. All of them (including jk) have reiterated how they’re all enlisting soon and all speak of 2025 as the regrouping year. But looking at the circumstances esp how scooter’s investing in him and the US push for him by the company— I don’t think they want him enlisting anytime soon. This may be out of pocket but my personal guess is they’ve pushed Seven like that because they want a grammy win for him as a soloist to get military exemption. Latto was only added on to get an easier nom (pop due) + help get the song on US radio. Come to think of it, HYBE has always pushed him as a soloist more than the rest— when asked why they had only JK on Dreamers and not the group; the CEO responsible for the fifa world cup song answered that he was told the other members are all in the military and thus unavailable (only Jin was). Does HE not want to follow the other members’ footsteps with enlisting though? I don’t know. He’s said like three times in recent memory how he wants to be a “huge popstar” so we’ll see how it’s gonna go down. The rest are enlisting soon definitely Edited September 16, 2023 by Lovit 2

Just let Jihyo and Nayeon serve mother... the rest of the amateur hour solo performances need to go. the fact that there was no MISAMO performance but we got these solos
Pinter Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 A2k theme song 'ready for the world' is kinda serve actually, its so catchy maybe jyp did a mistake here he usually produces duds.. Im ready for the world is the world redy for me...

It’s gonna be a day though if he receives one before his group and on top of it an exemption? Messy. 1

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. 3mix are truly the best members of Twice and one thing I noticed was that the last tour they did was definitely better than this one in terms of set list, the stage design, the live band incorporation and the outfits. The girls still slayed with what they could though. also this was their first time performing in Germany so maybe it was nerves idk, I’ve also heard that German audience is usually cold and quiet, idk that’s a stereotype I’ve seen come true a lot of the times all in all, such a good time
Witnessed ET Posted September 16, 2023 Posted September 16, 2023 The Twice shows in the leg December are so weirdly placed, they go to Japan first, then to Indonesia for one show and then back to Japan for two shows

First, if 6 members join the military and only one is exempt, it will only cause great chaos. Secondly, it would damage the group's image, which Bangshit would never risk happening. Thirdly, if something like this happens, this situation will constantly swing throughout Jungkook's life like an ax ready to fall on his neck. No one should doubt that this will be the first thing to be mentioned in case of the slightest scandal. I don't think he would risk such a thing. 1

What are you talking about? I love them, but f(x) went out with declining sales and interest, which had been going down since 2013. 4 Walls sold less than Pink Tape and Red Light on Circle. Red Velvet had a #3 peaking hit last year that stayed in the top 10 for 3 whole months, plus an album that sold almost 1.1 million, sold a further 1 million copies of restocked older albums and also FMR which sold 700k+, plus an arena tour (including dates in Japan, where f(x) failed). Their album sales have been increasing year on year, not declining. FMR (the song) was SM's biggest hit on the Korean charts in 2022 and RV was one of SM's best performing acts on Spotify across the whole company... The full albums situation is down to SM not prioritizing resources the right way, ultimately, there's not much the girls can really do if the company is failing to support them properly Edited September 16, 2023 by Zack 4
