If I see one more delulu in here deny BLACKPINK's impact in fashion :toofunny3:

 

 

Love how BTS' second fandom here is always first to post about them. lol.

 

What impact can BP have on BTS? You can claim that bullshit for any k-pop group, but BTS? Be serious. 

 

Just be grateful that BTS dedicated and prioritized 10 years of their career on group activities. They could have bagged all these individual deals and more 5 years ago if they wanted to. They only accepted LV global ambassadorship in 2021 because it was group deal. 

 

Keep your stupid opinions to yourself. It's embarrassing. :rip:

 

Watched twice perform at billboard and Moonlight sunrise is such a bland song :rip:

It's just a fact that BLACKPINK got their brand deals because they look they way they do and they believed they embodied their brands. It was organic. BTS only got their deals because they became biggest the K-pop group.

They're about to GAG:duca:

okay I just watched the Twice billboard performance, do they usually perform like this? cause they're so bland, faceless and uninteresting on stage 

I always thought they were atleast good dancers because of how the oncez here talk about them but they're not even serving in that department

 

was it the song? were they nervous? idk it wasn't it

 

is this how 99.9% of kpop groups performs without the whole inkigayo lighting and setup? :lmao: 

 

and please don't come at me with those born pink tour videos like i'm not allowed to share my opinion here :rip:

Interesting debate going on here.

 

Will I be wrong to conclude this then:

 

Blackpink got those brands after arduous model work, playing into the fashion industry, slowly escalating the ladder by being local ambassador and attending shows as +1 until the global industry finally noticed them.

 

Whilst these luxury brands are salivating over BTS members and immediately filling them with global ambassador positions and campaigns because of how relevant their MUSIC career is.

 

Looking at it like that, BP members do hustle a lot when they are actually interested in something

Wow :gaycat4:

and NMIXX lipsynced acapella video is NOT it.. they should’ve released a normal video

It’s their first award show in the US, also had the mic issue. It’s not their best performance but give them a break. :ghostface:
 

It’s kinda stupid to say BTS get brands deals  inorganically when they have in the industry for a decade they didn’t get brand deals because HYBE said OT7 over solo deals. It’s much better than  toddlers getting sponsored while they have no relevancy individually :ghostface:

I get they wanted to show off their vocal talent but this is just loud and annoying

NMIXX chooses to showcase talents, but does anyone in the Kpop world care about talents anymore? Just looking at the top groups and the flop groups right now

What’s up with this user and his never ending PRESSED behavior at Twice :ahh:there must be something personal.

I've seen it at a lot of concerts since COVID. I think it's a TikTok/Gen Z thing, but the Kpop artists I've seen it at (Sunmi, LOONA, Dreamcatcher) were taken aback and thought they were being called dogs.... :biblio:

 

It's harmless but kind of annoying because they do it constantly.

It’s honestly disgusting. There were a few in my Twice date in Oakland and I wanted to ******* punch them in the face :rip:

They are doing amazing being who they are, the charm is there even if the language barrier still exist.

 

Main event indeed :bird:

Exactly :clap3:the language barrier is there and they are visibly nervous because this is their first televised red carpet and “award show” event in the US, but at least they’re not pretending to be someone they’re not. I believe Nayeon can speak English better than anyone in the group but she decided to stay back (I blame the veneers lol). Mina was there too but whatever. That translator though, couldn’t they get someone more spontaneous? :dies:

idk what’s up with you recently and your constant “what happened?” questions about Twice pretending to be clueless just to drag them sis….but to answer your question: no, they’re not usually like that. Their dancing wasn’t bad, they were really going for it. It’s an amalgamation of a lot of things that made it look bland. The messy camera angles, the mic going off, the lighting not even highlighting anybody in particular during their point choreos, the nervousness obviously-being their first televised honor event in the US.  

and no, people CAN come at you with born pink tour videos because they’re also ‘opinions’. Stop acting brand new.

Wow :gaycat4:

I mean theres only one thing thats objective and that BLACKPINK opened the doors for BTS to even be considered . No one is gonna look at BTS and wanna design their clothes after their image.

Anyway

 

Whats happening in boy’s planet? And what does this mean..who got eliminated? i want my boy Jay to debut :chick3:

 

so no one wanted to give BTS a group deal even tho they are the biggest kpop group? :deadbanana2:

lets be real they thought brand ambassadorship was pointless until they saw what BP did 

that LV group deal lasted what 1/2 years? now they are all booking solo deals while their fans were shaming (yeah literally) BP for it :lmao:

idk why you would think that but I genuinely haven't seen 5 twice performances in my entire life I swear to god but whatever :rip: I came to watch the billboard performance just because everybody in here was talking about it and I was disappointed cause whenever I see people here talk about them like they're amazing performers and that's what I got when I watch it :confused:

 

and since you said that's not how they usually perform then I guess my question is answered

 

I also just mentioned the born pink tour videos because a blink in here cannot state their opinion without the born pink videos being brought up and you know that :lmao: idk you're one of the oncez here that complains when deluluvs suddenly brings up twice everytime the flop and talentless conversation happens so I thought you would understand the born pink tour part :lmao:

right? they are so "huge and relevant" and only does group stuff as 7 but they only got LV in 2021? please:lmao:

Right, I was confused

if you're gonna post an acapella I expect it to be live, not you just lipping to the recorded version just without the music

I mean they’re just returning the same energy you’re giving them by showing you that your faves can also have the same kinda stages that you’re talking about other artists :michael:

And I’ve never instigated anything against rv and I only reply when they wanna drag my faves into it. Otherwise I leave them alone :michael:

As a BTS fan, I see what blinks mean this time tbh. Yes, BTS could have all the brand deals they wanted for years but HYBE didn't let them, that part is true. (Also, BTS are expensive so I don't know why one would think all brands could afford BTS as a whole :rip:)

 

But it's also accurate that fashion brands being so interested in K-Pop now is because of BP. They saw the appeal because of BP. My problem is why do blinks only want BP to have brand deals... I mean I have an idea, but I'd like an explanation :chick1:

Kep1er coming back again after 2 misfires, hopefully third time’s the charm; things haven’t been looking good for them since debut :dancehall3:
