what 100s? new jeans is still charting inside top 40 and cool With you is still charting top 80

 

and those three songs that ive released weren't just any songs that have mv, they are title tracks just like what newjeans did. guaranteed those 3 songs will still rise tho but I fear they can't top I am or even kitsch charting but it's fine as long as they're stable

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?

Ryan, I like the "discussion for the day" idea, but does this topic really have to be the one we go with :gaycatx:

 

Time and time again, some of the resident sones have shown they are incapable of sensible discussion when it comes to Jessica's exit whenever it comes up, often the discussion just breaks down into them accusing her of being a criminal, villain, attacking her looks "jawshavesica" or calling her "disfigured by plastic surgery" "horse face" etc. It just devolves into misogynistic and very unpleasant language rapidly.

 

Or they parrot proven to be untrue media planted stories, such as her planning to quit for marriage, outing Seohyun as a lesbian in her book, or being up to her eyeballs in debt etc. None of these are true.

 

Just go back to this thread in May 2022 (when Jessica released her second YA novel, Bright) to see what I mean by that. 

 

On the question, my personal opinion is that they are best as 9. The whole thing was sad and unnecessary, her livelihood was taken away from her by the members and SM...and she has had to fight against the odds to get it back. I think a full reunion is *almost but not totally* impossible. 

 

Jessica (and Krystal) has hinted at her falling into a severe depression after she was forced to leave and nobody checked on her. I don't blame her if she doesn't want to revisit the group again and just wants to move forward.

tbh I’d say STAYC also have solid live vocals. they’re not powerhouses, but didn’t their mics being mostly on and the girls sounding stable during ASAP promotions partly help them breakout domestically?

There’s a little decline compared to their previous era,


The same with IVE who didn’t even chart this era, while their previous comeback with I AM charted despite being a Monday release with less tracking hours. 

Even Kitsch debuted on the chart back then

But let’s wait for the final unfiltered numbers

TXT and IVE aiming for the US just to bomb on Spotify at least TXT charted :bibliahh:But IVE were doing just fine without this messy rollout

was randomly reminded of this hilarious moment :eli:

We don't talk about it.

hii i'm new here (i've been lurking for way too long now:rip:) 

 

some random thoughts:

- there are no 4th gen it-boys, the girls really dominate

- yes red velvet yes quality

- TXT really released their best music in the first year.

- noise groups= stray kids and nct

- newjeans are 4th gen leaders

- genie best kpop song of all time

- favorite is nct 127 best song

- blackpink should release more bop like playing with fire, as if its your last.. (basically more melodies and actual choruses).

- thanks to that user that posts kpop news everytime :heart:

- exo is the best boy group (visually too)

I was devastated, even though it was clear that Girls’ Generation were kind of aging out of promotions. I know there was turmoil in the group, but I think the stans who blame any of the girls are incredibly misguided. SM has a history of trying to turn members against each other when the company has an issue against a particular member (they did it to TVXQ and some other groups).

 

I don’t think the girls recognize quite how evil SM is. When they realized they couldn’t control Jaejoong, they then tried to create a rotation group so that way every member would be replaceable and fans would grow attached to the group (which would just be more of a brand) than to the individual idols. I fully believe they sank Jessica because they knew what her fashion label would do and how big SNSD would get and so they created turmoil about unfair payouts and then refused to give other members equal promotions and opportunities to upset their parents. I totally get why Sooyoung’s mom was a ***** and I think SM played the girls’ parents like pawns so they could use them as scapegoats.

 

It’s part of why I get so mad at @Zack and @Century when they fight. You really think the evil tyrant SM would actually dissolve the top girl group because there was turmoil among some members? Y’all can not be that naive.

Let’s not drag IVE into this. TXT is from HYBE and they use Discovery Mode and have connections to Scooter Braun. Them flopping on Spotify just shows us that nobody wants it. IVE doesn’t have the same tactics and their U.S. label doesn’t seem to care about them at all. Is IVE MINE even in Target stores or being distributed on Amazon? :deadbanana: 

ive not charting a single single on spotify 200 this era

it was bad for them
