word on the streets is that hybe wanted to push Jks momentum and do a tour before enlisting 

guess we should be happy he didn't chose to join the air force or navy 

 

btw Suga was selling out 20k US arenas during presales alone

JK could have done stadiums

 

 

Why would they not at least let him leave with a hit tour? They could've at least waited 4-5 more months

 

HYBE you are going to HELL

It was so good to see Uhm Jung Hwa giving the daesang to SEVENTEEN, legends making history 

 

 

The gayest performance of MAMA's entire run and she served it in 2006.

when the men took off their shirts

 

wooo i lived

 

they really liked MEN and not boyz back then

[OrgVisual]

It's kinda funny that all Kpop music labels now are using Norwegian/Swedish songwriters/producers   

 

Shade Lee soo Man as u want but he was truly a trendsetter

Carrots also don't do much to motivate less popular members to pursue solo activities. Minghao serves an artsy self-choreographed contemporary dance with a beautiful self-directed video and it's just now passing 500k views after over a year while a video of Mingyu working out gets over 2 million in a fraction of that time

 

 

The other members might feel more motivated if Mingyu's left boob didn't get more relevance and acclaim than their craft

 

Well The8 is insanely underrated, easily the most underrated member of the group along with Dino. Even more than Dino probably. 
but i still think the others could be at least somewhat popular outside the group if the Pledis push was substantial. There is a reason why Mingyu, Vernon and Woozi are the most known members outside of the fandom, because they have a perfect mix of individual push(Mingyu more than others here) and self motivation for solo endeavors. I think the other members are lacking one or the other of these aspects.
 anyway, maybe we’ll see some of that after the military enlistments start (but they’ll probably be too old for kpop by then so what’s the point)

when you think about it, Super Shy was the only true SERVE of the year

True, Dino and Seungkwan might be my favs but Minghao is definitely the most underrated. His talent would probably get more recognition if his entire audience wasn't kpop fans. Most of us are way too use to/prefer a certain style of dancing and his flowy contemporary dance isn't like it. I think thats why Hoshi and even Dino get more recognition for their choreography while being substantially less interesting and creative (imo, but don't get me wrong. They're definitely not bad by any means)

 

I like jokingly hating on the Mingyu bias but hes definitely the member with most motivation to be individually known and I respect that. It's probably why pledis gives him so much of a push. I just wish they would also extend that same level of support to other members for their crafts. While they've given a nice budget to Vernon/Hoshi/Jun/Dino/Minghao/Woozi MVs for some of their songs and passion projects like their choreo videos, they don't do much to actually promote them. Danceology and Contemporary Art's promo are N/A and the solos at most get one special stage, a studio choom type of thing, and maybe a dance practice

 

And oh I'm fearing the military enlistment if they don't keep group activities running. I already know Jeonghan and Wonwoo will be MIA 

 

Stanning talented slightly lazy** people with a flop'd company is rough. It's somehow more annoying than when I've stanned untalented groups

(** only outside of group activities)

I might not be a RBB fan but Joy was incredible during these performances  I love the vibe, just wish I loved the song

NewJeans didn’t even bother giving an acceptance speech 

 

and i don’t think them or ADOR even acknowledged them

Seeing the actress being completely immobile while he's kissing her is throwing me off  Like she's frozen in fear

ENGOD should've been given this in the summar. And then they could've come back with Bite Me for the current comeback.

the way I'm addicted to this song now... see when you do TALENTRY

Wait, are we really doubting that Jungkook could have sold out some stadiums? 

I mean, no one said he could do a full 50 stadiums tour but an hypothetical tour of arenas and some nice stadiums (at appropriate locations) is literally feasible. The only thing stopping him was his short catalogue?

 

SUGA sold out all his arenas in presales, he could have thrown a couple of stadiums in there too. Now imagine Jungkook with the way he has way more fans perched for everything he does...

Oh yes The (h)it girl and the two main slayers of the group. Momo should drop a cute dance-focused 90's solo beforehand too so all 3 have their own solos

 

 

See this performance convinced me that they should be a subunit for sure. There’s no lacking performers and there’s a vocalist, lead vocal, and rapper with a dancer. It’s kinda the best trio imo

[Save-Me-Oprah]

 

will they just make it official that Seunghan is gone already so we can stop having hope

Liz is right there and she’s better than Miyeon and Minnie for sure, Yujin is half of the vocalist that Liz is

 

Lizard has an annoying tone

None of the HI’V girls have enjoyable vocals which is weird because Starshit literally had SISTAR
