The fact that Blonks are slowly turning into BoTSARMY 2.0 means that they’ll never be secure in their faves’ position and they’ll keep going after Twice just like how they went for NewJeans before that. 
 

the way we saw so many of them foaming at the mouth yesterday over every little thing and now Twice is reported to have the highest kpop gg sales first week in the US :dies:

 

also the countless posts about “music quality” while stanning BLACKPINK out of everyone else :lmao: BP is literally the definition of ‘great gowns beautiful gowns’ with the same rehashed demos every year, and the poor souls don’t even get enough material for THAT. The utter lack of self awareness is baffling :dies:

Don’t forget the weird fanfics 

 

“if YG sold bornpink for less (despite it being 3.99 with additional 10 dollar digits) and had released today it would TOTALLY hit 300k in the US “ :)

The way they were used to be the 2nd biggest bg after BTS, until they wen't on hiatus which resulted in SVT surpassing them and now being the 2nd biggest 3rd gen bg 

It is what it is, unfortunately a hiatus is inevitable for any Korean bg, I’m just proud EXO can still stand on their feet and reach newer peaks for them 11 years into the game

And still no official announcement about aespa, SM truly has no shame :mad: This is like the 1263633th music content from NCT Dream while aespa still being N/A :mad: 

HYBE TAKE OVER SM NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Helen was supposed to debut with aespa but she didn't at the end and people though she left SM but now people found their brother Insta and he's following SM and SMTrainee account which makes some people believe she's still in SM

The streets said she pulled a Lami and left SM, but then SM got her back as a trainee again sometime later. She originally joined SM at the same time as Giselle (December 2019).

 

If Helen does appear in the showcase, I hope she makes it to debut, since she missed out on getting into aespa.

For Kakao and their collection of authoritarian government investment funds to make money on this deal, I'm guessing we're going to eventually see a steady stream of SperM contents.

And that's why we need HYBE to take completely over, since SM keep trying to force NCT and SperM down our throats when they have more popular acts than them such as aespa, Red Velvet and EXO :coffee2:

As of today, looks like the best you're going to get is some kind of joint custody of SM as Kakao is offering what the SM shareholders want -- money.  Then again, it took Bighybe about 8 years to debut a proper girl group off the success of BTS, so there's always the chance it ends up being the same difference.

Were people crazy for dragging Chaewon when she won and made it into I-ZONE?

 

i remember all the draggings and saying she was “useless midget” etc, way before the mess of favoritism and payola was exposed (which I think she still got enough votes and would have made it into the group anw)

 

Or was she not the SLAYFUL powerhouse she is today?

 

Cause damn, seeing her in LS, she is clearly the firecracker and ACE of the group

 

:bird:

The image change really suits her imo. She gets to do more with it. And HYBE seem to have good performance directors who can really capitalise on her talents.

this is f*cked up :mazen:

those executives are going to HELL

When that coking coal logistics company decided to expand their media empire into the music business, and then start things off with a girl group, it was almost like they wanted to fail.  Maybe to offset profits made in their construction, real estate and consumer goods.  For almost no logical reason, GWSN were by far the most expensive flop to debut that year -- if you ignore Loona. :cupid:

 

Of course, the pandemic.  But whatever with that nonsense.

Just saw Twices album is sold at $24 at Target which is less than half of what the BP albums were :ahh: 

 

So at the end of the day BP still made more money despite selling less. Especially considering dividing the sales by 4 instead of 9 kiii

Why would they even do this??? Beatbox is old now, not to mention their main audience is literally in Asia which devour Korean songs

Considering how much pressure Twice have put on their fans over the years by releasing sooo many albums, $60 is like a bargain.

I guess we'll only know the future of SM late in the month when SM 3.0 plan kicks in.
