I totally get why Sooyoung’s mom was a *****

This is completely out of pocket and totally uncalled for and also exactly why Jessica's miserable published SNSD lies are so problematic to me. How dare you call anybody's mom a ***** completely unfounded like this.

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?  

No target version just an US store which they announced a week ago. I don’t even think they will chart on BB  

They should just stick to Korea no more Friday releases.

There’s no need to rush their global expansion especially with their least friendly songs. 

This IVE era is so weird for me. I'd understand Starship acting this way If IVE wasn't thriving and they needed them to expand their public globally desesperately hoping something sticks somewhere. But they literally already have one of the biggest K-pop groups at the moment.

 

It doesn't make sense at all to change abruptally the path that was working so great for them.

IVE really rushed their global expansion, like yeah they are very popular in south korea (and internationally among kpop fans), but they should've release on friday..

 

I got reminded of NMIXX when they used to promote themselves for the latin market  like .. get a hit in korea first.

the only 4th gen group that would benefit from friday releases is newjeans, and stray kids/txt/enhypen (for billboard 200).

The way I stan all of them, I’m truly a JYP version of SM sheep, wow  

Deserves 1B streams alone

 

the fact that IVE did better globally when they were focusing mainly in korea is so funny to me

we’ve been yelling that this was a bad idea ever since the comeback announcement

hoping this was the wake up call that starship needs so they can go back to having proper rollouts and focus on korea first

 

 

TABS

the fact that 2 of the biggest hits this decade (hype boy and next level) peaked at #2 is a crime!!

served longevity, acclaim, quality ..

the way an US exclusive version was added to the starship store a week before the release and on top ‪of that they didn’t even officially announce it on social media

absolutely embarrassing

 

edit: just checked target and they are not even selling it on there

When this song dropped I didn't like it at all. But then I noticed the chorus was stuck on my head, especially the "beep-beep, jingling, jingling, keep-keep, mingling, mingling" part and I listened to it a few times more. Now I like it.

exactly!!1

 

Yuna 

We need Cuntzy for Korean comebacks. 

RINGO and ZOOM ZOOM both have appealing parts, but as a whole they're just too noisy for me

Are we going to pretend that Yuta, Doyoung, Taeil and Johnny aren't very average looking? 

How is Doyoung average?

 

THIS IS SO GOOOOOOOOD

 

our baby Seungmin starting off the song sounded so beautiful. Han's rap also sounded beautiful. Lee Knowles and even Felix and I.N also ate.

 

This is so GOT7-coded, from the song to MV. It's like an experience to imagine how would be If SKZ debuted under the same concept

SKZ is slaying the collaborations this year 

TOPLINE, Social Path, All My Life... they are all so good.
