didn’t brave girls have a career resurgence last decade 

 

or was that someone else :redface:

they did, with Rollin but it was a fluke

all their next title tracks during the fame flopped (except for Chi Mat Baram maybe but it still was very frontloaded)

Mess but at least they are still together :clap3:

I completely forgot about Babymonster, their hype is gone huh :rip:

ew. some of these companies are giving cult vibes... can't they just create good quality kpop without this extra stuff? :skull: I really don't like it, it's so uncomfortable and it's honestly a disservice to the idols they project their "concepts" onto. These companies would rather persist with their unnecessary preachy ideologies instead of properly showcasing the talents the idols possess. It's the same sort of symbolism across entertainment (not just kpop) and I'm over it.

 

I'm also not a fan of the trend of making songs sound "experimental" just for the sake of it, limiting the vocal expression of idols which is such a shame. For example, NMIXX's music would sound lovely if given the right material with their gorgeous voices. I don't think their voices fit the concept that the company is pushing.

Sung Hanbin, Kim Jiwoong, Park Gunwook, Jay are locked in as my Top 4 for Boys Planet. The debut group has so much potential :jonny3: I need to figure out the rest of my Top 9. I'm currently considering the most between Daeul, Hiroto, Haruto, Seunghwan, Anthonny, Zhang Hao, Krystian, Matthew and possibly a couple others.

WHY must this SM/HYPE mess occur while history is being made with Bepler, Like can we halt this garbage until their creation so they can stay on the headlines???? :oxygen:

PHENOMENAL top 4, get into Seugnhwan & Taeree for excellent vocals that will make the group shine among the fourth gen :celestial5:

If we're gonna have loser useless visuals can we at least have him instead of daeul?? He's offbeat with his raps yes but his dancing is pretty good and the visuals GIVE, lowkey feel like Zhang Hao is not secured a spot so this bb right here can give the chinese coins! Daeul is cute and sounds like a sweet person but he is sooooo useless its laughable

 

 

has anyone started a petition to the SM executives to STOP playing out this lame version of Succession out in public??

 

I'm okay waiting on the aespa album for a couple more months (they should really take this opportunity to scrap Salty and Sweet AND Thirsty at this point but that's another discussion)

 

I need Bep1er WannaTWO / IZ*C0kCS to serve a christian horse boy concept like this:gaycat6:

mess 

...so they can have the same thing done by Kakao :rip: This guy is honestly trash, I am not a fan of LSM creative decisions and would rather have SM taken by Kakao over Hybe but imagine getting a nice cozy CEO position from your uncle and trying to push him out from his own company :clown:

Yes!! Taerae is another one who caught my attention, partly because I was curious why he was ranked #9 in the first ranking when I didn't know about him and also because he really IMPRESSED me with his audition tape in the Boys Planet : Star is Born special episode.

 

I was iffy about him being in the debut group because I feel like he would SLAY as a soloist like I could see him becoming huge in Korea with that kind of singer-with-a-guitar style and the glasses too. like his vocals, guitar and image for a solo debut is already there :jonny5: but from the little I've seen of him performing with a more kpop group style, he also delivers in that department! I definitely want to see more.

 

Taerae's audition is @0:09

 

 

I feel like there are some trainees that I can tell are READY to debut, whereas there are some that I would like to vote for but I'm not sure if they are ready yet.

 

I'm living for Jay and Haruto in Love Me Right - they have an effortless cool American vibe that BTS pretend to have! I also love how Jay projects his voice and has this almost surround sound effect. :loud: I feel like a lot of kpop idols strain their vocals too much just to hit the high notes but it doesn't sound nice.

Yeah, fine with sabotajing aedspa.

oh, you didn’t drag me that bad :rip: I knew I would get on some people nerves, but I was prepared for something worse 

 

also, at least true Tokkis know who will be the first people to turn against NJ, when they will either underperform or change music direction

Meh, it is the same for newjeans, YOU are literally saying they had it easy and others in the thread are saying everything they achieved is because of the payola lol. 

like, thank you? that was exactly my point and a few other users confirmed my standpoint too

I think I'm getting too old for Kpop. That did nothing for me.

 

And now NJ is the next big thing but their songs are average.

 

It's over.
