The BP renewal contract thing is so messy. It makes no sense to me how nothing has been said, besides YG saying it's still on going. I'm highkey over it.

Korean media is so unserious with their made up awards

 

imagine if anyone other than RIIZE won the "RIIZE Rising Star Award"

the individual parts are raw, but the group choruses are heavily processed

the way the mic covers their mouths is so annoying, like you cant actually see them point blank expressing thru singing 

[Odette Violet]

Aespa has the best visuals of all Kpop on top of all 4 being vocalists, songwriters and being women. Not everyone has that  

[Asscatchem]

hani and danielle are the only interesting members of newjeans. the rest are kinda boring. im not usually biased towards the western group members but hani and danielle have that star quality to them like they really want to be on top

[Odette Violet]

The fact that we only have Wendy  Houston and Ningyoncé knowles has the guts so far to cover actual vocalists pop girls needs to be talk about a lot more

Did you watch their Lollapalooza concert?

Minji is so lively on stage, gorgeous gorgeous girl. Haerin and Hyein are younger, they hold their own but they'll grow and improve

Still can’t believe they debuted Ni-ki at age 14 AND he was kept from seeing his parents for over 2 years because of the panny 

 

I just know YG is behind this somehow 

 

Wait til you discover that HYBE is not moving towards protecting the idols but just themselves. 

For example, they are the biggest advocate against the power that broadcasts hold, how appearing on music show is not effective as the appearance fee is nothing against the amount of money they have to spend, from hair and makeup, plus the whole clapping at the end for the producers, and they also revealed that winning group often buys meals to the producers. 

 

Which is all of these paid by the company.

 

 

But the fact that minor and foreigners are less paid than adults and people from Korea. They are on MUTE.

RV is really such a force and has had amazing longevity. Not many 3rd gen groups can hit #15 on Melon daily these days. The way that their Killing Voice alone has so much hype and is just pumping out hit tweets and gaining so many views in less than a day. Their comebacks aren't just an event for fans but even nonfans join in the hype. The way they've taken over this entire thread is a little amazing tbh

 

And this is with their longer breaks, lack of promo, and general SMisogyny. Most groups can't achieve what they do or even garner a fraction of the hype with 3x the care from their companies. They get discredited a lot because their peak wasn't as explosive as some other top groups and I still remember how nasty so many people were towards them back in the day, yet they've come out as one of the longest lasting groups in kpop and haven't lost any members so far. They're also not a legacy act no matter how much SM tries to treat them like one while (unfortunately) a lot of groups at this age become a "fan thing" and lose relevancy with nonfans and GP. Everybody's still tuning in for every new comeback of theirs and another hit is always on the table

 

It kind of goes to show how truly important talent is. So many of their songs would not be half as good without their vocals. The girls carry a ton of their songs while a lot of groups are carried by their songs. Quality and talent will never be a fad and will always be appreciated I guess and I really feel like they'll be getting a lot of support for as long as they choose to be active. Like their vocals only get better and it feels like people kinda just love them more and more as time goes on because it was a little too easy for people to look down on them back when a lot of 3rd gen groups were at their peaks, where many of us weren't seeing the bigger picture of longevity and musical value. Yet here they are

 

It's just been really nice to see how almost everyone can come together and appreciate their greatness, even this far in their careers while most groups become nonevents at this age

 

You spilled so much this post made me emotional.  I’d say it’s true for almost any female soloist or group that they never get their flowers at the time but I noticed a change once 3rd gen slowed down where people were being way less harsh on them because it wasn’t as much about stan wars comparing who was doing best. I saw so many tiktoks about their varied discography and how talented they are and no one was arguing or disputing. Definitely people are looking at them through a different lens these days just like what happens with many artists when they prove staying power. I just feel so proud of them

Stray Kids is performing at the BBMAs

 

Wow HYBE can't stop Stray Kids no matter how hard they try and boy have they tried 

[geniecantstophypeboy]

Fans of Big 4 girl groups should feel stupid

Ok this is a bop I support

 

Although their whole 'crusaders against bullying and sexual predators' concept does feel a little... opportunistic? Idk :/
