Ngl I assumed every girl was fluent in English which I thought was the point of this group for international appeal.

 

But whoever the Korean (?) girl is in that fearless video… her accent was intense  

It’s literally like a 13 year old Japanese girl

 

Watch them debut her ass too  I’m sure they are delusional enough to think she would work in a western market 

 

at least Nayoung can communicate in the girls’ common language

No it’s not. If the point is to have international appeal, you have 0 chance at a radio hit if your English isn’t discernable (especially with how little Asian acts get AirPlay in general outside of Asia). 
 

Like I’m confused. If I decide to debut as an idol in Korea with a very clear American accent singing in Korean do you really think I’d get any semblance of a hit  

 

How many times have they complained about foreign idols accents and pronunciation in songs? Like bffr. You can have an accent, but it has to not be overtly distracting from listening to the song (like Shakira having an accent singing in English but it’s not strong enough to make anyone go “what is she trying to say”)

I got called a racist in the comments of one of their IG posts because they had Yoonchae, who doesn’t speak English, speaking in Korean with subtitles 

 

I was asking what’s the point of debuting her in a global group when she doesn’t speak the shared language of the members and could easily go into a Korean group??? And got lashed

 

ready for a terrible lineup of 15 year olds who can’t speak discernible English in their own song

 Do you have to be this fuming when it’s not final line up 

She most likely not make final line up anyway Because the final line is going to be Manon, Ezrela, Samara, Lexie, Nayoung and someone white 

Just go watch the show, stop the fuming and use your votes  (If you are going to vote all white girls though……. please don’t watch it)

The way Weverse fans line up is like Yoonchae, Nayoung, UA, Mei and two random white girls  They thought they ate 

[Cyanide]

The more I think about it the more I think Lisa probably should leave Blackpink

 

-Could easily smash solo, even if she only lasts an era or two in the west she has south east Asia locked for life

-Could tour stadiums alone 

-1M+ per sponsored IG post

-Extremely popular on social media with a dedicated fanbase in several continents

-Dating the HEIR OF THE LARGEST LUXURY CONGLOMERATE IN THE WORLD, not only will she live fabulously for the rest of her life if they stay together, but her future projects will be backed and promoted by LVMH. 
 

Imagine if they got married and she had a kid by him??? On top of already being filthy rich herself???

 

She REALLY won in life.

the a2k girls are much more interesting and likable than these manufactured hybe contestants

[Odette Violet]

While I do agree that Miss Taeyeon needs a rest but we shouldn't be limiting Women to make music just for the fact they are already well established like If all this men can still release music in their 30's, 40's. It shouldn't be different for women regardless if they are well established or not. You don't got tell Miss knowles the same thing cause she's a cultural icon already. 

 

 

Singing/music is Taeyeon's bread and butter. She ain't like any other idols.

Girl I ain’t watching this  I was just commenting how distracting it was when the Japanese girl sang because her accent is horrible. I can’t see myself really stanning a western group anyways. I loved LM music but didn’t care for them as a group

join ADOR and have MHJ direct your solo queen  the MOTHER of newjeans

OMG my original BIAS

 

tho good luck with that reunion after amber went and talked all that ****

[bunnyeyes]

Maybe I’ll get hate for this but I don’t think Manon should debut with the group. She doesn’t really seem interested in the group part from what I’ve seen and she has the star quality and talent to go solo   I’m sure an American label would love to snatch her up to do solo work and she clearly has the support, talent, looks and potential. There are a lot of other equally talented contestants that have the fire in them in wanting to be in a group.

Yes they really are. Hybe trainees look like they casted from modeling agency. And lack of personal scenes affecting the viewers.

You have the worst taste in men, my love.
 

Like Imagine calling Hyunjin ugly while praising Shotaro’s visuals 

 

I’ve never called Hyunjin ugly

 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

Changbin is right there if I really I wanted to call someone in SKZ ugly 

 

but I would never

She’s gorgeous and gives ethereal energy.

 

Samara, Ezerela, Emily, Yoonchae are my top picks. Ua and Lara are almost on my list. 

[bunnyeyes]

Does anyone have the current popularity ranking for dream academy? Poor Adela she was in the original lineup before it became a survival but rooting for my top pick Samara.

So YG canceled Baby Dumpster release? G dragon leaves and BP is almost gone?

 

 NCT alone have more idols that YG at this point  Only BP keeps them in the Big 3 category.

People get so mad when you mention accents in SINGING... People sing in foreign languages all the time, it's really not that hard to learn the pronunciation and replicate it. Like ok this girl is 13 (shouldn't be in the show but anyways) so we give her a pass but there's plenty of adults who don't put any effort in correct pronunciations.
