One teaser and people are already writing paragraphs

chile anyways so….

 

Hmm this is food for thought :bird:

The docu clownery :bibliahh: There's that march 22nd thing so maybe they're onto something... the our youth mystery still isn't solved but I'm still rooting for that 4-part project rather than it being a tour :bird:

There's just something about TWICE that's so uninteresting. Like no tea no shade, but when a group has had like 50 comebacks and their most distinct concept is a cheerleader concept...

 

Like idk, do something exciting, groundbreaking, anything. IMO their issue at this point isn't the music, it's just the concepts and music videos are so bland.

I don't agree with this up till last year tbh, Talk That Talk was really uninteresting outside of the outfits where they played with layers of lingerie, but this new opening trailer didn't even have that, you could place Itzy in there instead and I'd believe it's theirs:rip: 


But hopefully they can get back on track, if there's one thing they do well is bringing the era and creating the concept through their styling perfectly! And it always served Twice while keeping it different :jonnycat:

TWICE has a comeback faster than IVE in their 8th year is insane :psyduck:

These girls are workaholic to the core :bam::bam::bam:

Sweet Juice is kind of the best title track in 2023 so far, we need more of that concept in kpop now :loki:

Idk their outfits have harmony, but they’re not really “concepts”

 

e.g.

 

Gee - Vibrant/Playful Rainbow Jeans

Genie - Navy/Marine 

Oh! - Cheerleader

Hoot - Retro

Mr. Mr - Masculine/Suits

Party - Beach/Pool

Lion Heart - 50s/Gatsby whatever the time period is

 

etc. 
 

TWICE (and BP for that matter) seem to just put on pretty outfits nowadays. It’s not really a concept in itself. Just nice styling. 
 

It’d have been great to have a goth concept with Cry for Me but it got no Mv

The Clueless vibe for ICSM was great tho, wish that was the vibe of the whole MV

Twice keep releasing bops after bops we love to see.  I hope they will not switch their concept and music genre because every time a group does that people keep complaining :cm:

Yeah I’d rather take good music and bops instead of good “concepts” and limited music to fit that concept. Their cute era (2016-2018) is reflective of that. But even so, their current eras still have some binding concepts to tie everything together (Alcohol Free) but they could definitely do way more to flesh that out and make it more distinct. 
but all in all, this is kpop and there are plenty of groups that do their “concepts” leaving plenty to be desired. So until my girls Twice keep delivering bops and serving LOOKS, I’ll keep stanning :gaycat2:

I mean who cares about some concept when this is an absolute mega BANGER :WAP: the way it keeps getting better and punchier as the song progresses

I'd say those I posted are concepts tbh, just not taken in a costume-like manner like those or twice's early ones 

I guess feel special could fall under the ''pretty outfits with harmony'' thing but I really can't think of other people putting them or similar outfits on without straight up thinking of that era

fancy - artsy/vaporwave
more & more - bohemian
I can't stop me - retro (specifically clueless in that set but the gray suits and the denim were good for the concept as well)
alcohol free - summer vacation 
scientist - scientists :rip:/women in STEM :jonnycat:

for talk that talk the y2k concept is there but it was basically just what was trendy (and still is) and they gave it that lingerie twist and had the charlie's angels-inspired sets to make it a bit different but I don't think it was enough to make it as interesting imo

They went as 4 to the anniversary gallery today and were welcomed by 200+ chanting fans :weeps: I wonder if they could legally use a name like B Girls or something like that

This is exactly how I feel about RV, like apart from Psycho, none of their songs have really been connecting with me

we need concept outfits (?) or whatever they are called back

they were one of the best things about k-pop :chick1:

Red Velvet is the best recent example of this. Not just in the outfits but also the MV imagery too.

 

So much so, that they could dream up a whole theme park about it

The ReVe Festival Day 1 album cover was giving creative genius. The way everything visible represents one of their comebacks :clap3:

YG has been botting Botmonsters BabyMonster's youtube views to soft launch the 60M in 24 hours record...

Uhm, did you see what that other user posted right before my post, like that user was shading BP and coming for Blinks out of nowhere? :biblio: 
This is the problem I was mentioning in my post about you NJ stans always painting NJ as victims and that the whole industry especially Blinks are pressed by them :redface:

 

I’m not pressed by NJ or anything, like I even posted about how there are stomping every 4th gen act on Spotify right now. You really tried it, huh? :redface:
 

 

Sorecer is both Blink and Tokki :rip: and I don’t see how that was a shade towards BP and Blinks, believe me neither are threatened by NewJeans, since Blackpink is a legendary group and far from flopping or being forgotten, they even have a shot at repeaking and finally scoring proper western hit (if YG won’t be dumb, which is questionable)

If TTT had the ending outfits as the main theme it would have been a slay. I really like Nayeon’s Y2K outfit in the scenes with Momo and Chaeyoung they just barely showed it. Just wish they had a main theme and it was present throughout the whole video. 
 

Sometimes the best/thematic outfits are only there for 15 seconds in TWICE videos :rip:

  • Multiple people have made tweets about getting ads from botmonsters
  • the like to view ratio
  • the hype for them died down a long time ago

Obviously all this so they can get a high debut for the mv and nobody will bat an eye

YG definitely got some payola going for the girls since I refuse to follow them but their videos stay in the suggested :rip:

 

But the fact that at 16 she's apart of the unnie line, most of the members are 14-15; that's where the clear problem lies  :deadbanana4: and looking by the pattern; the should be done teasing the members in March so a late March-early April debut seems guaranteed at this point.

allmost all 4th gen girl groups used ads during debut except for newjeans maybe

so I'm not sure why single out baby monsters
