Poor aespa :/ not even a full album and already they are planning a new group, did y’all even give them proper attention and time to thrive? Next Level was a moment and they could’ve had more, now I know why Girls was so messy 

It’s tragic 

Ok but Girls is not even 1 year old . Chill it’s not a big gap. Plus at least you are going to get a full album

She is very funny and good in front of the camera. Hopefully this goes well for her. So nice to see her get a gig.

Idk why people got worked up, it's normal for a company to have 2 girlgroups in the same generation, and the later one tends to not do as well as the flagship 

 

MissA to WGs

f(x) to SNSD

5Dolls to T-ARA

Who???

 

Also Rainbow to Kara, but seriously, who??

You guys really think SM is falling down while their groups are selling 1M album per release   like, I know you want them to be over so bad but even NCT is doing fine, 127 just broke the record for the biggest sales week for an SM repackage and NCT Dream just reached 1.5M Uls and charted on gaon's monthly top 10 chart They are not smashing but I bet DSP and MKB wished they could have a fall down like this one

especially Jeno, Jaemin & Mark! 

 

I have not thought about 5Dolls for about 9-10 years, reading that name sent me 

 

 

I wonder what girls who were in nugu 2nd gen groups are doing now. Probably mostly married etc I suppose 

Why does the jp version sound better 

The delivery in the chorus especially

Expect when the CEO is actively sabotaging the first group (who was a passion project of the former ceo), not promoting them and also giving them NCT rejects to debut his own new gg with a public friendly sound! 

Y'all seriously need to drop the sabotage narrative because there's no an ounce of truth in that.

In the same fiscal year aespa had dreams come true, an OST, step back, 2 pre releases and a mini, multiple sold out showcases and other concerts and a reality show. Not to mention the extensive promo in America. They really aren't getting the short end of the stick compared to their peers or their company mates.

I actually think SM has music that really suits the western market, like ofc they have terrible singles that tarnish the rest of the product but their songs have real appeal musically speaking. 

 

Aside from the obvious Bad Boy and Psycho tracks Red Velvet has other songs with potential, Look, Kingdom come, Sunny Side Up and even Automatic could be played on radio.

 

NCT127 has quite a few songs that could be well recieved like Love Song, Focus, Breakfast, Highway to heaven and Baby Don't Like it.

 

The same goes for acts like EXO or SHINee, they have the material, it's just hidden behind the songs like Obsession, Don't Call Me, Why So Serious

There is. The break between Savage and Girls was long if you compare it to NJ's or Ive's and after all that time, coming back with a track like Girls is sabotage. You see, it's not like aespa lacks power for them to smash, they lacked a good song, hence, a b-side outdoing the actual title track.

lemme just say sm new girl group will be embarazzing.. they have 12 year olds as trainees.. hopefully they dont make the cut cuz wtf . 

 

i truly feel bad for aespa tbh. i bet things are even messier behind the cameras, theyre on a whirlwind of mess

 

also watch this new group being super young and lively just like nj at debut

No 

Illusion is a hit though, no matter what people say

 

It's still sitting pretty in Melon Daily top 100 after all this time, while other hits around the same time aka Sneakers and POP are N/A

why did they even have to rerecord the chorus that’s fully English? that’s weird

one of the stayc girls looks like nmixx jinni

41 albums yet will be behind Hybe in the annual reports
