it was slaying because of the music first and foremost

absolutely no one cared about naevis, kosmo, flat and kwangya except for sheep

i still feel like it's a fun idea

but you can only do something as epic as a universe if everything is though out and there's budget

that's where it went wrong (plus the wrong song choices etc. lol)

 

It's kinda giving fathers & daughters musically.

This time last year SM had multiple hits, 2 PAKS within 3 months of each other. Even NCT dream + red velvet were close to getting a RAK. Things only changed in the 2nd half of 2022 when they started giving their girl groups nct rejects to make them underperform on purpose by Chris Lee

Ageism in kpop is crazy. Irene and Boa are called hags meanwhile Taylor, Beyoncé and Rihanna are reaching a new peak. 
 

i don’t care if HYBE is a monopoly or not they need to save my XG girls 

When you're in DEMAND 

at this rate they might need to add another show

PREACH RANDOM KNETZ

 

FORCE YYJ INTO RETIREMENT

 

BEGON DEMON!

Taeyeon's success in her 30s is truly unfounded in Kpop. I think only Lee Hyori has had comparable success at such as age coming off being an idol. BoA's commercial success dramatically declined.

 

The fact that she got her biggest hit (4 Seasons) at 30 years old is madly impressive. And she's still bagging hits to this day. It's insane when you think idols are considered "old" by 27-28

 

Taelent music is top tier because of her link with SM & their producers, kinda afraid of what’s coming for her career if SM truly is finished.

she’s the only one in SM nowadays releasing good music so the industrih lost I fear.

as for aespa….the girls had massive potential but we’ve got newjeans and lesserafim now so whatevs

RV has been selling well & can potentially revive their career with good music, if someone with a good vision takes over their management and them start rihleasing Bad Boy/Psycho 2.0, with good promo they will fly to the top of kpoop popularity omg, hybe adopt them please

I'm still waiting for this song

It’s insane, her success despite being LOCAL feels underrated imo.

Weekend digital points is nearing 800 millions and INVU will surpass 500millions soon.

the one and only TABS in kpop I fear 

 and they agreed after recieving Karina signed PCs??

 

 

not karina going to jail for being involved in these lobbying shenanigans

Is anyone worried about Kakao buying up everything in kpop and becoming this huge monopoly on our music? Like this SM entertainment business is sad but the bigger issue is the monopoly that conglomerate has over our music 

 

☠️ well

I said what I said. someone needs to strip away the "kpop" from a group like Red Velvet that has the talent beyond what kpop usually needs.

 

they don't need to dance anymore. they don't need to rap anymore.

 

IU is 29. Lim Young-woong is 31. Taeyeon is 33. Adele is 34. Taylor is 33.

 

just give them good songs they can sing live and their career can have at least another 5-7 years.

yeah, it feels like the current state of kpop is going to be a battle against two monopolies

 

HYBE/YG/Naver vs Kakao/SM/Starship
