Just so you know, I have already listened to every SVT song that has an MV, since I did a SVT MV marathon and watched all their MV's in order last year including both b-side MV's and Japanese MV's. I'm more familiar with SVT than you are with SKZย :khalyan2:

Well thats probably true then. I don't even think I've seen every SVT MV either so let me catch up bc this is strange :khalyan2:

Iโ€™m trying to think like Pluto here, I think I already know what his thots will be on YC and AO based on his (questionable) views earlier so whatโ€™s the pointย

Their growth has been amazing :clap3: 2024 next!

It's crazy to me how they can pull a crowd like this in Japan, and yet they barely do any promo over there!ย 

ย 

ย 

Instead SM are too focused on the US where they are only doing theaters

She didn't say anything she hasn't said before (and did not mention SNSD openly, the video title is clickbait for views)ย ย 

ย 

BUT I'm glad she again hinted just how hard of a time she was going through at the end of 2014.ย 

ย 

There were hints, such as in her song lyrics for Dear Diary and also from a letter Krystal wrote to her in a fanmeeting, that she went through a severe depression and breakdown, forced out of her life's work and left all alone. She is a super strong person to get through all that and still standing. :clap3:

was she really meant to debut in CSJH?

Itโ€™s literally a non descriptive floral poster thatโ€™s not coming out for two months. What are we supposed to talk about? Iโ€™m sure once more promo comes out ppl will be more hyped.

The โ€œlesbian on the leather jacketโ€ is someone your fave Troye Sivan has been leeching onto and also tried to spread his ass cheeks to.ย

Funny how they were actually collabing while everyone was calling him attention seekingย

I think we'll be getting a Japanese single coming 2024. But yes, I agree SM's strategy in the US is questionable. They keep giving them super safe songs like Better Things and Life's Too Short. While Better Things was cute it does nothing to make them stand out in a massive market with a ton of songs like that. They need to switch their strategy and sell Aespa as Aespa. They need their English singles to be like their Korean ones. It'll differentiate them from other acts and help them stand out, and their style would help appeal to and build a strong niche fanbase there. Building a consistent image across the board will also mean the people they attract w their English singles will also likely be more interested in their Korean music rather than if they're complete opposites

ย 

I don't think they're doing bad in the US by any means but they could be doing a lot better if SM would take a risk and recognize an opportunity there

They match the energy even while itโ€™s sped upย :WAP:ย truly THE performersย 


this trend needs to be killed though wtf is this remixย

GIDLE only released Hwaa in January 2021 and didn't do anything else, since the whole group was on a hiatus due to the Soojin scandal. STAYC were in their peak and had ASAP and STEREOTYPE that year.ย 

ย 

LE SSERAFIM had more sales and streams than GIDLE in 2022. Antifragile was also one of the biggest Kpop songs last year.ย 

ย 

ย 

Gidle ย had two back to back #1s in 2022

(compared to LSFM #2 & #9 peaks)


How were LSFM more streamed? What are your metrics?

ย 

Melon

Gidle - 317Mย 

LSFM - 159M

ย 


Spotify

Gidle -642M

LSFM - 420M

ย 

YouTube

Gidle - 315M

LSFM - 121M


ย 

Im not even a Gidle stan but they had an absolute massive 2022ย :deadbanana2:

ย 

First week sales

Gidle I Love - 678K

LSFM - 567K

ย 

Your StayC argument was also pulled from your arse

Just because it was Staycโ€™s peak year doesnโ€™t mean their #9 & #27 chartings are bigger than Hwas #4 peakย

So TOMBOY & NXDE which were both bigger than Antifragile is now unexistent. And I-DLE also had a World Tour to back up their stats.ย 

And this year Queencard is also bigger than all of their release, and their World Tour too.

Not y'all ending me like thisย :khalyan2:ย Let med edit quick!ย :khalyan2:

you guys, I'm sitting here charging my car and some lady pulled up in the stall next to me blasting that Jimin dreadful screechy Set Me Free song

ย 

bitch I've never rolled up my window and locked my doors with such quickness

ย

ย 

ย 

Set Me Free has to be one of the worst vocal performances to ever make it into a mainstream release without being saved by editing

ย 

it's up there with Private Show by Britney Spears and the person who died while doing the high note in the Kidz Bop cover of "We Belong Together"

Riize needs more songs NOW. I fully expect them to compete with Enhypen / Exo's almost flawless discography. I deserve to be fed well.
