It's interesting that Felix is the only one that regularly uses a headset mic anymore, everyone else seems to prefer a regular mic when theyre singing live. They always sound better anyways.

 

  Reveal hidden contents

kinda fitting tho considering Felix is the one who's microphone doesn't really matter

 

 

Someone asked it to Felix, I think It was in a videocall, iirc. Cause everyone was noticing he was the only one who haven't been using handmic consistently. He said he prefers headset mic, cause he can pay more attention to the choreography and his dance moves. 

[hallucinate]

there is only one track that i don’t really use (shine with me) on IVE’s album but other than that it’s flawless  

my only complaint is that they needed some uptempo bangers

 

regardless it’s probably my favourite kpop album this year along with EXO’s Exist

When they're singing live some people always had a habit of putting their hand on their headset mic anyway to stabilize it every time they sing so they might as well just use a hand mic

So true. IVE 1st album is very strong , and one of the best full albums I’ve heard in years. Blue Blood’s Impact

I honestly hated all of their B-sides so I’m still gagged at how they came out swinging with the album  

 

Hope their mini maintains that quality.

Let’s hope the reason Kakao is selling starship isn’t because they gave all their demos to SM and don’t need them anymore (wasn’t resource sharing one of the reasons they wanted SM 3.0 under Kakao?) 

[Asscatchem]

the karina print. but i hope she doesnt backtrack 2 weeks into the comeback

 

karina shouldve stayed blonde tbh.

ETA kinda aged like milk. Not really much into any of the songs from this NJ era long term.

 

Hype Boy and Ditto are still my faves from them

[Odette Violet]

I'm not feeling IVE's teasers. Miss Strawberry needs to get her luscious jet black hair back after this cause the blonde hair is not giving what's it's supposed to be giving henny  but anyway I'm looking forward for their music since that's their best selling asset. Let see if they'll top Kitsch this time

Seeing Music Bank Paris, Lollapalooza and Global Citizen Festivals singing along to Stray Kids' music and the crowd having the time of their lives makes me so happy for them.

 

No matter what K-pop stans say about them on the ex-bird app, in real life they are legit and here to stay 

 

 

 

These legends, they have such a big future ahead of them

I confess I didn't want another comeback this year. 5-STAR is still fresh for me and I've been overwhelmed by the amount of content . There's tons of new things to follow about them these past months. 

A repackage wouldn't hurt bestie  I can't let them end this year with S-Class being their only Korean title track, I just can't  

Though it's interesting how they have released 2 Japanese albums and 3 Japanese title tracks this year while only releasing 1 Korean comeback.

Truly the TVXQ/SNSD/KARA/BoA of 4th gen I fear

Felix still have solo schedule for Paris fashion show on behalf of Louis Vuitton but other than that yeah looks like no public schedule for group now. But knowing JYP the rest of the members are probably busy to prepare for the comeback material.

I think they are already done preparing for the comeback and have already recorded the songs, filmed the MV and everything else etc

 

We will probably get teasers and pre-orders in October

Can starsh/t learn not to drop the group's teasers all at once? How can the other girls that isn't Wonyoung or Yujin showcase their beauty and gain individual engagements if they don't even bother understanding the simple concept of one at a time.

Mixed feelings... 

But i can understand that you guys, who are fans and didn't like the last comeback very much, are hungry for music. I wasn't a big fan of Oddinary and got tired of almost all the songs fast, so It seemed it took forever until new release. However, since I love 5-STAR (and Social Path), I'm satisfied. 

 

And JYPE/Sony are taking notes Stray Kids is very huge in Japan and aren't losing any opportunity lol

I personally prefer 'Winter Falls'. But Christmas EveL's sound and the mischievous concept showing the bad side of winter season is very original. I've never seen anything similar in K-pop and I'll give them that.

SKZ occupying 8/10 spots   It's interesting how none of the other 4th gen bgs still don’t have an MV with 200M views, while SKZ has multiple MV's with over 200-400M views

Definitely, I didn't want to downplay them, I was just correcting something I understood wrongly. Still think It's impressive how they pull on popular songs every year consistently.

Seems like OP was talking about the most streamed song during the year but they still have the most streamed songs during or released in 2021/2023 so it's still a win for them.
