Good to see Chen more and more in their content esp with Baekhyun there I know his solo stans are seething 

The fact that Baekhyun is one of the closest to Chen :dies:. His solo stans obsession with Chen is so weird but we know the reason behind it.

be fr why are yall expecting a whole ass new show from pinkchella from YG:rip:

i've come to terms with this nn I just hope they kill it like they did in 2019 :duca: 

 

:WAP: the only time KTL sounded good

 

 

 

They need to recreate most of THE SHOW sets instead of Born pink. This version of KTL>>>>>
 


They need to brings back the shirtless dancers :jonnycat:

 

And the gays with Gaga :WAP:

They are coming, loving the dream payola after years of mismanagement 

 

What’s the point of an English single with no US label :deadbanana4:? SM incompetency is reaching new levels

Hopefully a big and anthemic song will come in the future. Hara's Midnight Queen is probably the closest to what a KARA song should sound like. Pure fire :flame:

I am kinda surprised to see that they're still promoting, even almost 4 months after When I Move. I hope it means we'll be getting new Kara music frequently, can't wait for another bop :jonny5:

I thought they have one atp  :deadbanana4:

 

I guess it just because they'll be touring in usa soon

It is highly likely for this reason. SM did the same thing with Red Velvet. They released an English ver. of RBB, but they have no U.S. label. It was simply so they could perform it in the U.S/Canada part of the tour. :gaycat6:

NCT Dream did have a U.S label. It was Virgin Music (same as aespa originally) but I think they got dropped sometime in 2021.

 

They used to post about the group but stopped after 2021. And a source from Billboard confirmed they were no longer involved in releases, but may be again in the future.

 

Happy for FIFTY FIFTY :clap3:

But Higher and Tell Me deserve this chance more :chick3:

WARNER? They couldn’t give this song to Aespa instead of the boring life to hard or whatever song ? 

I checked and it’s just Warner Korea just like how twice/Itzy are with Warner Japan and not the actual label like aespa

this is actually so interesting. kpop is essentially photo card capitalism and you can see why its so valuable to the company having wonyoung in a group diluted with 5 other "whatever" members so they can exploit this form of gambling and drive sales  :gaycat6: 

 

 

NCT 127 has huge different price margin too

 

It was like

 

Doyoung/Jaehyun

 

Taeyong/Mark/Haechan/Jungwoo

 

Yuta/Johnny

 

Finally Taeil :rip: Some people even offer to give Taeil’s photocard for free. I wonder if the member knew about this and  how they feel about it :chick3:. 
 

I like how Ador did with NewJeans album. You will get all members photocards if you buy the group version. And if you buy the specific members option, you will only get that members photocard. Not this random photocard bullshit. Organic Jeans :clap3:

Honestly I’m lost lol! SM should have made a deal with Capitol for them, Exo and RV, since 127 and Sperm already signed with them.

KARA not bringing Sweetune back for their reunion was so disappointing :dancehall3:

Everything about their comeback was everything a Kamilia could have asked for, probably the best hag comeback ever. Except the actual song sadly.

I feel like SM just lied about it being April tbh 

 

 

Both IVE and Aespa are supposed to cb on April but still no pre orders. It’s either they are coming at the end of April or they will only have 3 weeks of pre orders

make more sense lol 

Edited by Adama

The way we haven’t heard official statements about any of the supposed April comebacks, like are we even sure the April war is going to happen at this point ? :redface:
 

Maybe the girlies are scared of Billlie and postponing their comeback because of that

everyone should do like STAYC and announce the cb two weeks before its release.

1 month of teasing is just annoying

I feel like kakao is waiting for aespa to announce theirs for mediaplay purposes

YG suck but they invest when it comes from performances (not always :penguin:) Even their dance performances are high budget. I trust BP :redface:

 

We can’t compare to Ariana she has never been a  strong performer while BP are known for their SP. 

 

Itzy two songs with 200M streams.  I hate JYP:ghostface:

Ou- mothering so hard, too bad it will be useless comeback anyway

I hate it too, but they do it bc the longer the pre orders are, bigger the sales are, I guess.
