Not necessarily, only 2 or 3.

 

S*ngchan has been getting back into my good books these days anyways because he's good to Wonbin.

But still no unions for idols I see 

well I mean company staff would have to back off of dating 14 year olds first in order for that to happen

 

 

 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

An idol union would only work if everyone stuck together, but there are so many people willing to be scabs to break into the industry idk idk idk

 

maybe if all the big groups put their foot down and threatened to strike, but they're the least likely to be mistreated because they're already in a powerful position so idk if they'd be willing

Screw idols, but this law does make it even harder for smaller companies to disrupt kpop from being controlled by the big 4, so mission accomplished!

 

[Asscatchem]

no one is going to remember spicy/betterthings/drama in 2024. next level and savage is still the bar.

 

[LipaBlink]

Born To Be is EXACTLY what was needed from HITZY, their very best in a LONG time, JYP not putting it on streaming I feel is going to lose them some international hype :( 

 

But god it's perfect, forget about the noise haters, I hope this is exactly what we get from them in the future, loved it, loving this noisy/girl crush renaissance

I mean it kinda is nowadays, but she needs a bigger individual push outside of the group too. At least recently she’s been getting more and more brand deals and is booked and busy, but this should have started a long time ago when she was making waves  among the gp and she would have been much bigger. I can’t believe how many potential IT girls JYPIG has wasted over the years.

Twice as a group isn't really interested in sexy concept. Some members are, but the group aren't. And they probably afraid that JYP fail and being called cheap by the GP.

Drama will definitely be remembered - the MV, the choreo, the styling, the perfomances were all very much iconic. Spicy not sure but it was peak cvntspa

 

 

Agree about Better Things, it's cute but it's another Life's Too Short. The RAYE remix slaps though

When did DumDi DumDi became their anthem!?

What are your thoughts on this?

 

Quote

"In my opinion, how to put this, looking at male idols...

I feel like they're receiving less and less attention

If you look at the digital charts, they're practically all girl groups

Of course all their songs are super good

But I believe that male idols also have a lot of good songs

This is why I'm a bit disappointed"

what thoughts are there to have? he's right. there have been more gg #1s this year alone than boygroups combined for the past like... 6 years

 

[Save-Me-Oprah]

boygroups still far and away clear when it comes to album sales though so I guess it evens out

The concerts look so fun too, the numbers are deserved. While the encores are my favorite bc of everyone just goofing around, the actual performances themselves are amazing. The way so many of the performances have time set aside for adlibs also helps make every show even more unique. A great touch and can create really fun moments like in Home;Run where they break up into individual groups or Clap (I think?) where Vernon does a surprise move and everyone has to follow. Oh and I just love the Home;Run segment in general

Sana's power is impressive, especially when considering how incompetent JYP has been with handling the girls individual careers. I still remember the hype around her with Cheer Up and the whole Shy Shy Shy thing. The way she captured the Korean GP, she could've easily been a massive it girl imo if JYP gave her the proper push. And her being Japanese too would've helped open up her being a massive it girl in both Korea and Japan. At least shes still doing amazing now, I just wonder how much bigger she could've been if JYP wasn't JYP. But in the end, shes bagging those luxury brand deals so whatever
