No one said their concept was directly “stolen” except bitter fans on twitter. But I personally see their similarities, you don’t have to agree. I’m more saying that nothing is created in a vacuum and of course new groups will draw from their predecessors.  I love aespa and am a sheep; apologies for my poor wording!  

Can I ask what exactly is similar between them? This is a genuine question btw cause one lore is high budget and thought out years in advance (2015) meanwhile the other is 95% carried by just fan theory

Don't forget when my mothers TWICE smashed with S*gnal  The fact that it won SOTY at MAMA as well 

 

As you said, it has nothing to do with boy groups releasing bad music, but the fact that the GP simply doesn't care about bgs most of the time. But with ggs destroying bgs in digitals it kinda balances it out, since bgs are destroying them in sales. Though they are pretty much even in touring and streams

they were so heinous for this song, it makes them almost deserve all the fumes that come from Buttstink stans

 

almost.

 

aespa is SM's answer to blackpink

like ITZY is JYP's answer to blackpink

 

the influence is clearly there 

The victim complex as if the sheep aren’t the ones to always start a fight

I swear if that user says "geek culture" or brings up how much of a geek he is one more time, like we got it the first time 3 times

somebody is really insecure about being @Odette Violet's fellow kpop dweeb. None of us are cool or normal even by Korean standards pack it up.

if I don't see a pic of Lee Knowles holding today's newspaper for proof of wellness I'm gonna call the fuckin police

 

NCT 127 FACT CHECK IS A BOP noise done right fell in love with taeyong all over again

The fact we have such incredible girl groups out right now that are smashing so hard we can’t help but fight: oprah_hello_lets_celebrate_that.gif

What we're NOT gonna do today is pit Loonaverse and SMCU against each other

You started it months ago, it's your fault that your own stupidity came back to bite. Let's not forget that Girls and Next Level were barely over a year apart too.

The reality is KTRL's darlings right now  are kinda underperforming and the supposedly fads had just wrapped up the biggest and most attended tour for a 4th Gen so far.

 

 

There is no shame to admit that.

 

 

And that's the biggest take away I have for today.

 

 

NewJeans are smashing tho

Educate me, queen 

 

In general girl groups weren’t really doing lore though the actual lore is different. I’m not familiar with LOONAs lore but knew it was a big point of interest for their fandom and helped them in expanding. Interestingly,  the rise of lore was predicted in general across different types of products and brands by analysts before COVID started, it’s a natural progression and aespa has killed it with their movies. EXO really tried to do lore first but the GP said no

The hatred toward IVE and NewJeans right now feels so personal plus the fact that it’s from new users shocks me This has to be some evil foreplay

Shut up. Weirdo. You have always a thing for playing the victim when you’re always starting ****. Practice what you preach 
The fact you are still traumatized over a fight that happened a month ago is concerning

Nobody is playing victim here except for you. All that **** you talk came back to bite and will continue to. Somebody is clearly traumatized here and it isn't me.
