i miss the kpop days when they would add new members to groups in a grand fashion. kara, wonder girls, after school, t-ara, red velvet.  like why cant le sserafim one day wake up and add ahyeon or something :jonny5:

No. Not here for that. Le Sserafim really came together for me as a 5 member unit. Also not for nothing but any group that has more than 6 members is just way too much. Feel like people get shafted, side lined an underutilized.

Bc kpop companies are pushing the image that kpop isn’t manufactured like back then :fan:

 

Also fans will not accept it, and no one want to revive what’s happened with Yeri 

Keep it that way. We don't need groups to be featuring an entire staff full of people anymore.

The performances this era are insane tbh  :jonny5:  They all brought it 100% every time and I LOVE what their styling team was up to

 

 

I kid you not these girls have the potential to be just as big as Blackpink in terms of crossover appeal and international success. 2024 is gonna be their year. I need their first single for the full length debut out like now 😫 

People are accusing him of plagiarizing filming on a street, hes being mocked for a nickname he didn't even choose, and hes still nugu'd and flopping

 

I expected the last part but the rest is unnecessary

This is very true  :1stplace:  We just need SM to stop with the Better Things and Life's Too Short type of English singles bc their usual sound will do much better!

 

The Game Caterers crew and Na PD are angels for making this cringe banner but not even the carrots are streaming and any potential for part 2 is cancelled

Did I already talk about how happy I am that Yujin has an older, more experienced idol like Jiwoong fighting in his corner? There's almost 9 years age difference between them and you can always tell that Jiwoong is looking out for Yujin and making sure he is well taken care of

 

I'd still be more happy if children weren't being debuted but its inevitable that they'll continue to be, so I wish every group could have a Jiwoong to advocate and look out for the younger ones who might not realize they're being mistreated or taken advantage of

Actually, Gyuvin is the one that actually takes care of Yujin the most, maybe that is his role in the group.

 

 

Also he is funny af and kinda cute, so stop the hate :giraffe:

I was able to get two people to watch One Piece from his face alone  :clap3: I'm surprised hes not more popular

Speaking of a powerful face :gaycat1:

 

 

I know that she's gotten work done on her face but it was done so tastefully. She doesn't look botched. Older or like an alien. She truly is something else. She's the reason why I even gave Aespa a chance because I couldn't keep my eyes of her.

Um let's not do all of that. Life's Too Short I understand. But Better Things is a major bop. I totally support Raye writing more songs for them.

I like Better Things too but it was not the move for an English single imo, or at least it should have been a "bside" type to a main English single. They did it because it sounds like a lot of English pop but because it sounds like a lot of English pop, it doesn't stand out. Doing English tracks that are as impactful as their Korean ones would do way more to make them unique and appealing rather than seeming like just any type of a pop song you would hear in the background while shopping. Better Things is cute but SM needs to give them something with more power next time

It was the right move only because they need to play it safe. Their signature cyberpunk sound can be a little polarizing to the general public so a clean pop song is easier to cater and sell to the masses if that makes any sense. Better Things does not sound like anything that's popular in the US and I live here. I feel like it's the US thinks and expect K-Pop to sound like but with English lyrics if that makes any sense 

Now they need to tone down the fillers and the glow in Jake's face, but nevertheless, PRETTY! :bird:

Thats fair, I guess it makes sense to play it safe. If their signature sound is too risky, maybe they can find a happy medium? I just think the song should stand out more and maybe a more toned down version of their sound could work
