Why does the jp version sound better :rip:

The delivery in the chorus especially

 

Okay who started the y2k trend because all the gg's are wearing the exact same stuff

am I the only one who prefers the Korean version of Poppy :dies:

 

idk the mixing is cleaner to me, and i like that the vocals are a bit more up front

I am currently watching Boys Planet and though i am not finished and haven't seen all the performances, yall are moronic if you don't think many of these boys don't eat up like 99% of the current gen, both male and female ESPECIALLY yalls faves.

 

Like look at this guy Jay, the technique, control and runs and all of this while hes LIVE, like play with me, this is A+ material!

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

So the standard is to do better than Itzy and Nayeon.  :bibliahh:
 

it’s crazy how every time a GG goes on hiatus a new supreme rise. 
BP 2020-21  : aespa’s dominance for an entire year, Brave girls and Stayc had a viral hit, IVE’s debut. 
aespa it’s been only 8 months and NJ is moving like BP, IVE back to back hit and daesangs. LSR 2 consecutive hits.

Bc kpop was ever never about originality :rip: Once the main group of a gen gets a concept to stick everyone becomes a clone

 

e.g. Twice -> everyone went aegyo 

BP -> everyone went noise girl crush

and now we have Y2K

Albums are what make money as their acts are capable of selling 1M each

 

Is it a surprise to you guys that Kpop is all about business profits? :deadbanana: Esp when companies like SM are established public company and they have to act for their shareholders' interests

Why do I feel like some people on Boys Planet are exaggerating their facial expressions/vocals to make performances look bad intentionally to catch people's eyes (like in the Glitch Mode & HOT cover):rip: They all wanna be Hyewon 2.0 so bad

If the other 2 are classified as hits in this thread, why not Illusion? :ahh:

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

ikr 

it doesn't sound as cunty so it's annoying me. I'll probably get used to it soon though 

 

ISA looks so good with red hair :loki: what a woman

Y2K has been/is a huge trend in fashion overall, not just k-pop

It's so funny, twice are always the go-to artist for everything, when people wanna talk about vocals the standard is always better or worse than Twice too like be fr :redface:

Eunchae booked. Talent, visual, personality and not a school bully :clap3:

Garam being booted is the best thing that ever happened to Eunchaes Career.

 

She would have been a sidelined maknae like Chaeyoung but now she’s getting lots of opportunities :clap3:

Just finished Boys Planet Ep. 1 and a lot of them are actually quite talented. I rlly need Zhang Hao to debut.

Calm down! They’re just talking about how both songs outcharted illusion but but it ended up having better longevity 

Finished the first ep of boys planet and yeah the talent is TEW high, of course there were duds like there always is but taking into account the live singing, many of these boys eat up the produce groups no question.

 

Need the hunk from the first group that performed, jay the singer, the amazing waacking guy and as always Jiwoong to debut! Like this group is a SMASH waiting to happen if only Korrier chooses the right boys :matty:

I know but like, ALL the girls are wearing the belted skirt, fuzzy hat, animal backpack, leg warmers, fingerless gloves, baggy jeans, stickers in their hair

 

It’s like all the stylists just got the same package delivery, and I was also wondering if NewRecordsetters were the first :keir:

Yeah because it makes sense to compare when NJ and IVE were less than a year old group Compared to aespa which was almost turning 2. :rip:

 

New jeans is now the best selling debut album and LD has 870k sales while savage has 760k. 
 

 

4th generation GG sales are increasing rapidly though?

Eleven is IVE’s debut and it sold less than Savage. And GIRLS basically doubled LD’s sales despite having IT girl Wonyoung too!

 

of course all of them are selling well. But trying to dismiss aespa’s strength just because they debuted earlier is insane though? Nobody said a **** about ITZY despite smashing right from the gate with DALLA DALLA but yet their sales are underwhelming compared to aespa’s.

Relesing 41 albums seems highly impossible tho. 

 

Maybe 41 overall releases, counting standalone singles. And even that seems far-fetched. :rip:
