Yeah but unfortunately that's what keeps this thread alive. When a girl group sees success, it somehow automatically means a doom for another group but they never learn :coffee2:

crazy how SM sent aespa to Coachella, mediaplayed about them being the "first girl group to be invited xyz" , booked them gigs on GMA and Macy's parade, and sent them to American TV, but some SM stans will still claim they don't care about the U.S. or being popular overseas. That's more U.S. exposure than any other 4th gen girl group.

 

I think newjeans' success proves that the western kpop audience is big enough now that a group can blow up as long as they have the right sound. 

SM will be throwing their money into the void as long as they insist on trying to push aespa stateside.....with songs like girls :bibliahh:

yes, SM wanted aespa to underperform so they sent them to Coachella, organised US promo for them and released mid English track to pander to the western radio, we get it 

 

Red Velvet did too good with FMR so they needed Birthday 

 

amazing logic! 

 

I guess NCT Dream should be locked for at least two years now, since they have a streak of successful titles! or at least they will get a song like 2 baddies or something 

:ahh:

not people praying on IVE’s downfall :rip: they should kick leeseo out to avoid this imo

nope

IVE's next comeback better focus more on Yujin, Liz and Gaeul with more lines, screentime, etc or its OVER. It needs to be a LD/AL sized bop too. :gaycat6:

 

Leeseo is obv being pushed because she's the 15yo but it's backfiring hard. Hope the poor girl is fine with the amount of lashings online. :gaycat7:

 

SS needs to wake tf up and change their strategy.

The Reigend erasure is not cute! 
Hope she snatch another writing credits, so sis can get her deserved royalties 

once Wonyoung chooses the right demo once again, it’s OVER for the haters

The way I predicted this. Starshit is so dumb. In SK they had a Naver article with more than 6k of reactions and like 3 trending articles on the the Qoo dragging them

Nothing against Reigend though, but we NEED miss Liz the singer to SING

They’re setting them up at this point because it’s not looking good. Yujin is well pushed not too much enough to get some exposure while Liz get not lines and Gaeul is treated like a dozen 

 

at a time maknaes were among the most popular now no one wants to stan toddlers (see with Hyein, Leeseo and Eunchae at least eunchae gets some love sometimes) 

 

also give them an IG acc why are they pushing the same members all the time it’s annoying

Right she deserved her lines but Rei is the third best singer in the group

Listened to CLASSY:y’s discog today. Some catchy bops! Had to check to see their contract length as didn’t want another IZ*ONE situ :weeps:

Yeah they used Wonyoung to the max by leveraging her popularity and the queen served her purpose in the beginning, but now it’s enough. They better utilize Liz and Gauel and Rei properly or I’m gonna riot. :biblio:

I'm sorry but yall are being overly dramatic over IVE like every day here :rip:

The silly argument here, the reason why no sm artists achieved huge success since snsd because they intend to, kpop company is filled with money laundring etc thats why yg and hybe casually branched out with the black label and hybe with ador, see what happened to blackpink when they become so huge? They dissapear and only released once in a while this is to escape tax law, newjeans is technicaly under ador so they will maximize ther tactic and effort to succeed, kpop company received the money from government for spreading hallyu wave, sm has been very succesful and its their will to slow it down, i believe once sm branched out with new company like ador they will start to push harder. 

 

Sm is in a very good condition with smcu they dont really need to be more succesful kpop is at the peak and they are maintaining it to not make it too saturated, i believe they are playing for a long success of kpop and i believe all these music experts from all company has a group meeting to discuss about future of kpop. 

 

I love aespa but they will never really become huge like blackpink because its not the time, when one girlgroul emerge you can feel the difference if thats the choosen one. Lets be honest,  newjeans sing are terrible they are b side red velvet aong but how come they very succesful?  Company sejegi and indsustry plant, i think sm has already takrn their part in kpop with snsd superjunior nd tvxq as the pionerr of kpop...

u are so pressed that u can't even type properly lmaoo, just accept it aespa won't see the same success in the west as newjeans' their concept is too cringy for a western audience no one cares about their ai ****:bibliahh:

No, we’re being realistic. SS is going to kill their momentum if this keeps going.
