wow she looks like Hanni here :lmao: youthful queen

Except for the solo, all the songs were from the same project. It's very The Album (BP) type of album where all the songs could be singles but the album itself has not really any connection.

the truth is that there's probably been more discussion about aespa's musical "direction" and concept in this thread than in the SM building

 

a complete failure of A&R for this group

the reason why bp and nj smash so hard too is because they're very particular about their discography. they at least strive for no fillers/skips

aespa is shaping up to be a RV leftover group :deadbanana:

 

the fact that they could be the dark version of newjeans with risque hyperpop excellence highlighting the more "anti" side of y2k and they're not taking it :clown:

Next week we should get Taeyeon and IVE comeback info and start teasing for Kep1er. 2023 is such an exciting year :jonny5:

NewJeans’s concept is literally being an RV leftover group :skull: Like it’s literally Min Heejin’s concept for them.

sis when are you gonna give this narrative up? rv has no song as good as ditto, attention and hype boy and their 4 chipmunk vocalists will never be able to pull off those songs. they'll ruin it:lmao: 

 

also, rv's entire aesthetics/concept is "amusement park clowns/performers quirky make it a lil bit dark so they think its edgy" new jeans' concept is fresh, sophisticated and youthful a complete opposite of rv who are always doing too much with their concepts like be fr :deadbanana:

Physicals are great and all but that doesn't exactly show that people are listening especially when they're boosted by 100 versions and multiple album photocards. Some of these groups that are pulling massive sales are stagnant streaming or touring-wise.

 

Considering we're about to be in a recession and the only area that KPOP seems to be massively growing in is album sales which is heavily reliant on getting the fans to spend as much money as possible....maybe he has a point. 

 

 

We really need to find a way to stop bulkbuying.

IVE will deliver again with that full album :jonny5:

Can you imagine the transition btw this and eleven :duca:? And then we have Not your girl… really scared about the cohesiveness :dancehall:

Korean:

FIRST IMPACT: 396k copes

Queendom killed them. And Wake one are amateur. If the next cb do even worse they are getting shelved… It’s so unfair to Hikaru and Xiaoting…

I imagine Jisoo’s debut will be Friday March 31st. Right after the Philippines and before Japan / Coachella. It’s not like she’ll be doing the music show run anyways. She’s far too big, booked and busy to be performing on Music Bank or Inkigayo (as cute as it would be for her to return there with her solo)

No one it’s too big for MS If even IU does it

Olivier Rousteing (the designer behind Balmain) personally invited Hongjoong from ATEEZ to the Paris fashion week for Balmain, since he saw how much Hongjoong loves Balmain. Good for him!  :clap3:

Wow! It’s actually interesting since Balmain is one of the few houses who don’t have Korean ambassadors.

ive declined this time around tho, after like is already out of the top 10 after love dive's endless domination and even love dive ended up being overshadowed by hypeboy :redface:

and speaking of it girls, i went to the electronics stores and saw newjeans on all the computer screens, they're plastered on every mcdonalds because of their collab (:rip:), literally blasting in entire neighborhoods on the speakers, having a residency in the top 3 of the charts AND of the karaoke systems charts :skull: members are getting cf left and right and going to fashion week, then we have the long time it girls like IU or jennie. IU is literally everywhere right now still :rip:

and wonyoung? papa johns cf :rip: that's the only time i ever see her these days tbh and im not even trolling atp

 

the way newjeans are leading the trends rn is insane as well :jonny: every girls want to look like them

And yet IVE is still the best seller lol! 

 

The only NJ girl who attended FW is Hanni meanwhile Wonyoung already attended it last year. Let’s not talk about how except Hanni none of the brands has introduced any of them unlike Wy and Yujin.  Plus let’s not act like Wy and Yujin are not plastered everywhere either. They are the  2 it girls of the 4th gen for now :heart:

 

Yujin is also coming soon with the season 2 of her smash and viral variety show 

 

They are currently filming their PEPSI cf and preparing their first full album and their fans meeting in Asia.

the "aespa" name is still gibberish whack and honestly alienating to the west so whoever worked on that concept should be fired! theyre not going to make it big in the west for that reason alone.
newjeans, blackpink, twice all sound better because at least they're real, comprehensible words, plus they are ones you can find in a book for kindergarteners so theyre extremely easy to understand/remember.

i have a master of science in marketing so trust me on this. :katie2:
