    some of the new members not giving new at all 

i think most of us expected Jungkook to smash with his solo & be the biggest ksoloist,

 

but the way he is surpassing all my expectations & going neck to neck with his group and most of western A-listers :dies:

Truthfully though Anton/Eunseok and Sungchan/Seunghan could be ranked interchangeably depending on the day.

 

The only constants are Sohee & Wonbin at the top and Shotaro at the bottom, poor thing.

I don't think y'all remember but back at their debut we had a discussion with @harrythevifantalking about how this group dynamic was basically 2 groups mixed in 1.

If they ever say this was their plan all along, they're lying!

 

Kinda feel bad for Huiyeon (Light) and Jian (Sum) never being able to be in an appropriate group, even if just for a moment.

You mentioned that you want Yeonjun to be the leader of TXT since they don’t have official positions. But Soobin is the official leader of TXT.

I was kind of thinking about something that could be one of the topics of discussion for the day (something I want to do regularly):

 

For those of you who were fans of OT9 SNSD, how did you deal with Jessica’s departure? If she was your bias, did it change how you looked at the group afterward?

 

It’s been almost 10 years since she left SNSD. With most of the girls at other labels now despite coming together for group comebacks, what would you make of Jessica reuniting with the girls and that leading to her rejoining the group? Think it could happen or has too much damage been done?

snsd was lowkey already on their way out in 2014 so honestly i understood jessica's perspective and didnt care

but jessica shouldve joined forever 1 and surprised us all appearing out of no where for the last chorus :'(

I bought their comeback album Lion Heart, I made the video below, I streamed tf out of all their comebacks

 

the group will NEVER be the same. I never revisit the comebacks post-Jessica because she was literally one of the two main vocals and you can tell. It was the blend of Taeyeon's and Jessica's voices that actually created the sound of Girls' Generation. Yes the rest play a small to bigger role in the harmonies (namely Seohyun), but that distinct SNSD sound was all because of those two, and Jessica's lack in the group is very noticed.

 

8 people somehow managed to make them look like so much less on stage. I can't explain it. One person shouldn't have this much of an impact but it does. They just look smaller. Their iconic choreos and formations are all based on 9 people as well.

 

I'll be honest, had it been Sunny or Sooyoung or even Tiffany, I wouldn't have this opinion. 
 

This is the video I made btw lmao:

Were they on their way out though? They smashed after, and that's without their most distinctive member vocals wise.

 

Releasing Forever 1 was... Well, uneventful to me without Jessica. The whole illusion of their everlasting friendship was ruined for me.

 

They have other great aspects about them and I love the girls' personalities regardless, but it was after that when I realized that they really are just colleagues rather than sisters.

Like you guys don't understand the sheer blueprint that SNSD's friendship image was and is now used by Twice for example

 

There aren't any girl groups that did this before SNSD. Trust and believe that no one gives a sh.t about Kara's Gyuri and Nicole together, or Wonder Girls' Sunmi and which ever other member idk their names

 

SNSD had separate fansites for their duo friendships, people wrote dissertations on who was best friends with whom and why and how and etc, and there were so many fan edits

Like this was so extreme, I'm still not sure if TaeNy is genuinely a friendship thing or like a self inserted lesbian thing

 

Google "TaeNy taeyeon" and it will automatically finish with "TaeNy taeyeon possessive tiffany fanfic". People were OBSESSED with the inner group dynamics

Edited by kataraqueen

And one of the bigger (maybe the biggest, honestly) reasons why Taeyeon was blamed for Jessica's departure was because TaengSic fans had been analyzing their behaviour around each other for a long time, and noticed how Tiffany had gotten closer to Taeyeon, with Jessica distancing herself from both
