THE EVIL IS DEFEATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All the awkward pauses aside, this was cute tbh. :heart: And it’s sweet that Kelly learned their

names prior to the interview.
 

 

but seriously they need to brush up their English speaking because it’s like even an answer to one question takes forever to go through each member, then add the translation time and it’s even longer :rip:

Especially with how they have an actual big audience in the US now, it’s very necessary.

I love the fact that their friendship is pretty well known in the industry :clap3:my two faves :heart:

Excellence 🤝 Excellence

Y’all need to stop throwing dirt on this man’s name. Savage, I’m Your Girl, ID; Peace B, Tri-Angle, Girls On Top, O-Jung.Ban.Hap, Purple Line, Sorry Sorry, Genie, Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer, Keep Your Head Down, Mama, I Got A Boy, Bad Boy, Nega Dola, Butterflies, Black Mamba, Better, Next Level, Step Back, Girls, 28 Reasons, Stamp On It, NU ABO, The Boys, Cherry Bomb, Something New, Monster and Dear Me ALL have credits from this man.

 

His credits span over 20 years and are so wide and diverse with some of the best K-pop songs of all-time in there. :coffee2:

I dislike half of those songs. He's very hit or miss but for me, it's mostly a miss. He always gives disjointed and nonsensical title tracks. Next Level worked. Savage...was ok. Mostly carried by the hype. Girls was bad. Like if he had a consistent quality level I'd be fine, but he doesn't.

Maybe you only like easy listening music and you should work on expanding your horizons, sis. Savage is the best produced 4th gen song by a mile and has the most interesting chorus. 
 

It feels like you girls want to see lazy ass Hot Adult Contemporary music and that is the antithesis to what SM is about. If we see them regress and release some of the trite garbage that this thread eats up, I will fume. We need flavor, even if it means alienating the mindless streamers. :coffee2:

Was really hoping Kakao would stop the aespa US push :rip: 

The point of all this is for the kpoppers to help push Kakao's software and IT services.  And webtoons.

Savage was completely ruined by the last minute of the song. The prechorus is one of the best ever in Kpop, the chorus is ok. It gets old after a while but the prechorus never does. But that last minute of dubstep and nothing but high notes... its a no for me.

Everything you’re saying reminds me of the worst trend ever from the early 2000s - the removal of ad-libs from modern pop music to give songs more mass appeal.

 

My biggest fear is that K-pop will get so desperate for Western streaming validation that we’ll get songs under 2:30 minutes long with no ad-libs. And I will always thank YYJ for not going that lazy ass route that so many artists do. 

 

All 8 of them together :heart: (minus Lay obviously)

the POWER I can feel already :WAP:

 

Also i listened to Kai's mini and his first mini is definitely still the best one out of the three so far.

Idk i had higher expectations for this one after his Antifragile serve with Rover but it didn't do much for me.

Suho still remains as the best solo music out of EXO :coffee2:

Sehun looks like such a b****, feel like we would be great friends.

 

Kai is so hot and intense, whew. :jonnycat:

They kind of give off decent coworker vibes.
