Girl has been stepping up her game this year hence she's continuously getting trending 

 

 

I guess if it ain't SM. She still has the social media to fall back on, the Asian Selena Gomez with the range and talent

The fact that ig has been her main promo since she got it is so funny to me :ahh:. I hope she decides to do more stuff when her schedule is free.

Spoiler

I need her to pull a Selena and get herself on a show or something. Imagine her playing a bitchy chaebol girl :jonnycat:

Spicy deserves some of the hate Girls receive cause its kinda dated, not a bad song but Girls it's way better and I still don't know why people hate It so much.

Tea tho but the girls ain't ready for that conservation

 

 

That and sequence are still the best 4th Gen GG gay bops. I fear IVE, LESERRAFIM and even NewJennies hasn't top this yet

I think Giselle could have a social media career if she goes the Bella Hadid route and gets some trendy western procedures. She has the long face for it. She'd lose appeal in the East but gain appeal in the West.

Her visuals are already perfect, she already gets attention from the west as it is all she needs to do stop with the cutesy korean makeup.

For me personally it sounds so empty and demo like, there's parts of the song where it feels like there's just dead air. If they incorporated more instrument and made it more rock heavy almost metal like I feel like it would sound better.

Peak Playlist reach average:

 

Super Shy: 133M (peaked above 130M for entire month of August and is STILL above 100M) Currently at 102M

I AM: 36M (stayed above 30M for a month then averaged out 16M) Currently at 15M

Queencard: 23M (stayed above 20M for most of June then averaged out around 19M) Currently at 16M

Unforgiven: 36M (only for one day but stayed around 25M for entire month of May) Currently at 14M

Spicy: 26M (for 1 day before immediately dropping down to 17M and only going down from there. Has spent majority of its run below 15M) Currently at 14M

 

 

Like, yall need to stop using streaming stats as "Drags" when your faves are pushed harder. SM is notoriously HORRIBLE at pushing their acts on streaming (outside of useless ads on Youtube). 

 

The only way comparing streaming would be an actual accurate comparison is removing playlisting altogether.

Girls better than Spicy...? let's be serious now

I love Girls, but Spicy is such an upgrade, fresh, and a smash hit

I just don't click with Spicy at all, I hear Thirsty and Salty&Sweet much more.

You'd have to be delulu to think Giselle would succeed in the West with her current look. She's not ugly, but she definitely is no super model either. I could see her having the current "in" look if she got a minor buccal fat removal and slimmed down a bit more (but again that's ONLY if she were to take on some role as the center in the West for the purpose of appealing to the social media crowd).

 

The Hadids, Kardashians, etc aren't still so popular from looking/being natural. Either you look like a supermodel or have a dramatic hourglass look.

I AM, Super Shy and Spicy are the only ones that aged well out of those. Unforgiven was bad on arrival and Queencard is okay

Wait "Better Things" jumped 11 spots to #69 Melon Daily yesterday

 

Maybe they should promote it more in Koria

And we need to remeber that even though the gaunt model look might be popular rn it's not the only look. Plus we need to be honest and admit that it's going to go out of style in the next year or so.

Spoiler

She might have to get lip filler though:biblionny:

The song is from 2019 and was created before the final aespa lineup was decided along with several of their songs like savage when the hyper pop sound was decided on for them.

Giselle isn't the supermodel type though. I could see her being a social media model but my girl aint walking on no catwalks. People have been saying it best when they compare her to a Selena type with talent. I could see her being a part time actress, influencer, socialite type with a music side gig.

 

Edit: My mind completely misinterpreting this, but my point still stands. There's multiple looks in the west because we're more flexible with what we see as being top visuals so any more changes I feel is unnecessary  especially with the career I could see her having in the west.

Pretty much it seems. They had a massive writing camp and used Sophie for a lot of the references, one of the writers revealed.

They all look so good, long hair J is a whole snatched :clap3:

My bias has always been Yoon but who knew? J with long hair would eat the other girls just like that :gaycat3:

Since Sophie was the reference, I wonder if Sophie herself took part in the writing camp/sent some demos

If she did it for ITZY, why not aespa?
