As much as MHJ is a side-eye-able creep and as much as I think NewJeans never even should've debuted given how young they are, the material has been serving. OMG is yet another win for them, both the song and the MV. The way they pre-emptively made the Twitter teens look ridiculous at the end :rip:

When is SM going to release the 127 teasers?  Or is someone  before them releasing?

None of the new 2022 girls are seeing aespa unless their name is NMIXX. 
IVE sound like they have cat hair stuck in their throat in performances where the vocal backing track is bellow 70-80% 

 

And I was talking about vocal skills required in a LIVE setting. Momo and Kang Daniel also have pleasant tones (and for the later I listen to his music quite a lot) to me but I would be scared to hear either of them sing something without a heavy backing track / or a fullon prerecorded track.

You’re missing the point. 

IM not only talking about beautiful tones. The ones that I mentioned can also sing. Liz has proven that plenty of times when it’s just her singing acapella. And so have the other girlies I mentioned. Just because they haven’t gotten the chance to have a 100% live stage doesn’t mean you should ignore their abilities and lump the whole respective groups under “vocally talentless” category. 
 

And no one is calling Momo and Kang Daniel vocalists lmao. You’re insulting the girls I named by mentioning Momo in the same context. :rip:

this is actually no shade because I liked the last two NCT Dream comebacks (Beatbox + Candy) but how do they sell that many albums without going on a proper world tour, get no good streams on Spotify or no decent YT views?

also I absolutely despise BTS but I‘m kind of shocked only them and Blackpink get HUGE streaming numbers on their b sides.

 

I guess k poppies will forever only care about the title

 

Why?

missed the newjeans convo but i want to contribute hihi 

 

my thing is that the music is great but 1.) it’s not refreshing. maybe in a k-pop context but again….

 

2.) the music is so good that there’s really no reason for some fans to serve a pretentious tea

 

also the way the MHJ stuff just gets brushed over is weird bc she’s really the reason why the girls (myself included) were reluctant to even stream newjeans in the first place 

 

Spoiler

 hype boy was just too good to miss out on no shade 

 

debuting minors will always be worrying to me but people forget that the backlash comes from having them sing cookie in conjunction with them being minors :deadbanana2: 

 

so while OMG is a great song and i’m sure the music video was interesting, MHJ and Ador hiding behind the group and shading people who had an issue with cookie is just nasty :skull: i get that it should be expected from the music industry regardless of location but it’s still wrong

Somewhere in an alternative universe, these 7 girls are all Korean who debuted under YG with the name Baby Monster :heart:


Like imagine if these girls were Baby Monsters instead cause they would’ve fitted so well YG! :jonny6:
 

Imagine if YG in the alternative universe released this cypher as pre-debut content to introduce their flawless rap-line, and how much buzz and hype it would create:jonny4:

 

They couldve been like Niziu at JYP. A japanese group created by a korean company. XG deserves more recognition ughghh

They focus in Asia, since Hot Sausage their singles do well in Korean charts, they sell decent in Japan even without a japanese debut and Jaemin has a big fanbase in China. 

 

And the YT and spotify it's an SM problem overall, none of their acts have big streams in those services.

Here's your daily reminder that Attention is pop perfection while Hide Boy is NJ's worst song to date :cm:

def agree with this part, not sure about the second

ditto kinda sounds like a tinashe demo :dies:

attention >>>>>>>>>> ditto > hype boy

don’t care about the rest 

deluluvs now accusing any newjeans stans "token stanning" when all I see people talk about newjeans here are just about their music and how good the music only

 

red velvet stans token stanning aespa now this was real. they kept talking about savage and girls sales, next level's digital points and melon charting 24/7 cause these deluluvs havent experienced talking about million sales and massive digital points like ever :deadbanana: they were like "they're from sm of course we're gonna support them" plssss :ahh:

Better yet, they should've been virtual idols so they would never get older.

Yeah the ages still bother me and Cookie bothered me a lot, the statement made it worse for me because they were BSing

 

I’m casually into this group bc of their age, the songs so far are great and the videos make me miss the weirdness RV abandoned 

i dont really like OMG nor is ditto hitting as hard as it did last week. Hype boy is still my favorite song of theirs. The melody just does not get old for me

The way NewJeans has the best lore out of the groups that has lore concept :deadbanana4:

 

I was gagged when they do the MV rewind :deadbanana4:

I actually like New Jennies for the music rather than the concept. I hardly watch YouTube videos these days :rip:

 

Plus the Tinashe demo’s are hitting :jamming:

BABYMONSTER will have a documentary before debut

 

 

 

 

I hope that doesn’t mean there’s a chance of some members getting cut? That would suck if this is a survival show, tho I know the statement doesn’t say that
