Hate all you want Iโ€™ve seen her in person and she is literally gorgeous. Thereโ€™s no wonder how she got into SM if you see her irl, even compared to some visuals. She also got in on singing. She could have debuted in SNSD if theyโ€™d forced the girlie aesthetic on her.

MAVE, Plave or whatever. All this Korean companies debuting virtual groups and even groups who literally had nothing to do with geek stuff are now hopping on the trend but KTRL would convinced us otherwise that Aespa have no Impactย :celestial3:

The MAVE: Project debuted before aespa debut.ย 

ย 

The project was from Netmarble (gaming company) and it's direct response to KD/A success, it has no correlation to either aespa or BlackPink as people were saying. Fun fact, Netmarble ended up with Kakao but they publicly reached out to Lee Soo Man and SM first back in 2018-19 (which is probably why they look more than aespa than the ae-aespa themselves), then worked with HYBE, but the only thing that came out was a BTS metaverse game, HYBE didn't want anything not BTS related as they were already working on their GG who all debuted their webtoon.ย 

ย 

Now funny thing is MAVE: also have their webtoon created back in 2020 in Canvas from Webtoon, then got took down to finally launching officially back in February with a new polished story.

Webtoon starring Netmarble's girl group MAVE coming soon - KED Global

ย 

Now PLAVEis whole other story,

ย 

VLAST is and IT Company that were associated with MBC, they worked on CGI, Metevarse, Cartoon and Game DEV, they became independant around PLAVE debut but still has great therms with them. PLAVE is direct response to anime and webtoon popping up. They are pumping contents on the daily creating a whole metaverse and parasocial relationship with their fans, which goal number one is making them consume real products: like exhibit A, the company's own video game:

ย 

What's so funny about them is not only they have full fledge personality but they are also full of glitches.

ย 

It's basically the Sims 3. :ahh:ย 

ย 

Then you have all the soloist like ROZIE, APOKI, That YG AI Singer, HYBE singer etct

ย 

APOKI is basically the one who's been around the longest and is now in her final form.

ย 

Her last single is basically what we wanted the girls to do.

ย 

This rabbit basically out ChungHa, ChungHa herself

ย 

ย 

APOKI was already around 4 years ago, she first appeard on Instagram on April 12, 2019, and her first YouTube video was on April 22, 2019. Yeah she's older than aespa.

Recently got into Ateez lately and why didn't any of you heaux let me know that they were so goodย :jonny5:ย That Mingi and Yunho were so HOT! i've wasted so much time not listening to them.

Also I hate to say it but recently saw them with Jongho and I think I understand why he's the least popular. ๐Ÿ˜•ย  they look so good without him. So sad.

This is how songs like "Dolphin" became disruptive.ย  Now just need IU to give GAG a level-up promo and it'll be over for everyone.

ย 

So, how much of SM does IU own through her Kakao shares?

I'm here for it. The most acclaimed kpop girl group for a reason, if feels like the last good girl group SM debuted tbh.

I'm hoping their new girl group is inspired by GG and F(x)ย

Yes, I know this sounds terrible but the seven of them are stereotypically handsome in that kpop sort of way, he kind of looks like a 40 year old ajusshi.

ย 

Great vocals them, best male vocals in fourth gen I'm sure.

Yunho and Jongho literally look identical though with Yunho just being the taller versionย

Also, why is Minji coming back from Paris to Korea today? I thought she was going to Chanel Show...

Haerin also didn't go to Dior'sย ย :emofish:

Probably bc the Chanel ambassadors already have their appointed shows.ย 
ย 

And Dior, itโ€™s probably bc of her age? ย And like Chanel they already have invited a lot of ambassadorsโ€ฆย

So annoying how they're actually doing decent in Japan but they still choose to promote for 4 weeks at Inkigayo insteadย :gaycat6:

ย 

honeslty I donโ€™t understand the strategy to not promote in your own home countryย :biblio:! Especially when your home country is the 2nd biggest music marketย

When was the last time a male rookie had such an immediate it-factor right at debut? SM better be paying Wonbin handsomely because he's gonna be massive

see when you release good and listenable, gp friendly music? meanwhile i completely forget about the existence of 90% of those million seller boygroups until the moment i enter this thread because of how irrelevant they are in the real worldย :redface:

The fact that he was the one who got the most freedom, was the favorite and the face of the company! Itโ€™s insane actuallyย :rip:!ย 

ok so for a while I was a bit confused cuz I've been scrolling past so many posts of users telling how gagged they were or telling others to gag - I didn't read any of that since the conversations didn't seem that interesting to me, but my brain kept seeing that word coming up, and sometimes I event thought the girls were fighting - until I realized they were talking about the new SM boy group song...

aespa are f(x)'s daughters, I wish SM stopped giving them these basic english sings and let the group release cool weird music/concepts

It's just further proof that Yang Hyunsuk won't be going to prison for threatening a dopehead.
