i'm so over twice  I started dragging them just 2 weeks ago but they're just so uninteresting, basic, faceless and overall just really mid i'm starting to question myself if all my energy being wasted was worth it 

 

enjoy your "quality music" I guess but make sure yall are actually listening to them okay? cause... 

 

 

 

shut down still charting on global spotify 6 months after release

see when you release quality and not just coming back every 3 months for quick cash grab with turd after turd 

 

 

 

 

omg the EVISCERATION  

 

meanwhile Twice Charts has STOPPED updating SMF chart positions after just 1 day

Onces : "We getting fed"

PAO already !! 
 

[BTS]

Hybe is after making so much money off of this. SM’s fall has been embarrassing. 

 

[Eternium]

I think it’s funny Blinks are dragging anyone over Spotify like their faves weren’t the background when Spotify openly admitted to payola and chart manipulation  

 

 

Like @MonsterNavy trying to drag physical sales when fans actually pay for that while praising the streams that YG pays for. It doesn’t make sense

Y'all are being very hatery today. RELAX a bit and go listen to that music you're wildly defending.

The way the Ratmys have had to try and spin this because they got caught in their lie that BTS made HYBE successful enough to buy SM  Bang didn’t have the liquid assets to buy SM and couldn’t get a loan/borrow his brother’s money to keep up with SM’s share prices and now they have to hang their heads in shame.

 

I’m kind of sad because when CEO Bang said he’d use some of the Spotify payola he uses for BTS, NJ and LSF for SM artists, I was excited to see it because we’d be able to gauge just how many of their Spotify streams are organic.

Im so exited for their cb

Where are their Korean fans? At least they should keep this on charts for more than a day if there is no GP interest.

Twice were asking to Set Me Free and Koreans did just that 

[WhalieX]

Is Starship announcing that IVE comeback today? People were saying they were coming back too often and they took that to heart. 

[hallucinate]

twice needs some promo in korea

time to cancel all of jinni’s ex group’s upcoming schedules for their comeback and replace them with twice

Or maybe Hybe didn’t think SM was worth the price.

Shows how profitable SM is anyway.

They obviously did or they wouldn't have been hitting up Morgan Stanley for a $1B loan to acquire a majority of SM's shares.

 

Bang PD obviously wanted SM but was doing so at "any cost". The shareholders were unlikely to be happy with all the loans being taken out to achieve this. HYBE was already having to take out quick loans to pay for the shares they already bought.

 

Plus Kakao has already infiltrated SM's board and employees, which is why all those crazy YouTube videos were being released. It damaged HYBE by association and caused friction and made a takeover by HYBE very difficult.

 

And finally Kakao recently got a huge $1B cash injection from Saudi Arabian government in January, on top of their own existing cash reserves. There's no way HYBE can compete with that kind of money without loans.

 

OT: I think this is good news because SM needed to keep its independence, which is more possible with Kakao (even though that company is horrible).

Ningning Minaj rapping better than problematic Nicki Minaj without even trying

90% of K-pop main vocals would NEVER be caught making their debut solo song (not single i think) a hip-pop smasha but wHEW legend Ningyonce Knowles truly did thaT! The star of Aespa indeed!

its crazy how irrelevant TWICE is now in Korea when 5 years ago Korea could not get enough anything they released, the way the audiences were so PERCHED for Yes or Yes like

[Kayseri Mantisi]

Where is aespa's comeback  

[illia]

"Perfect All-Out" is kinda iconic as an achievement tbh
