Who‘s talking about self referencing exclusively? are yall this dense?

 

the color palettes, settings, styling, props down to the MV being shot the same frame by frame at some as Rosé‘s video.

 

Some things are a coincidence some stuff is down right copying and I stand by that :fan:

 

 

For GG I was talking about alleys with posters that referenced their past material. They did it with “Paparazzi” like a decade ago.

 

I don’t think anything here is unique that JYP could even be accused of stealing from. It’s not like the NMIXX/Min Heejin plagiarism they have going on :skull:

Just a side note, but you can see by how well Eleven, Love Dive and After Like charted on both digitals and album sales that their next era will be an obvious smash. They’re going to hit 2M+ physicals with ease and Wonyoung will be on her way to being the female idol with the biggest overall career (group + solo). :jonny5: 

Idk, I don’t think she can either surpass Yoona’s biannual top 5 highest grossing movies of the year + hit dramas OR Taeyeon monstrous hits & solo touring numbers? 

Atp I'm convinced @WeFoundWill has some sort of mental illness because there is no other explanation!

starship’s management of all IVE members was actually good during eleven era (and ‪LD to an extent) but then something shifted :rip:

Everything went downhill. The styling, the promo, the creative team. They look so cheap :rip:

 

 

Leeseo was pushed since debut, she got viral during eleven and SS expected her pull a WY it backfired. 
 

Even when Liz didn’t have have weight gains (before she dyed her hair black) her lines were tragic tbh. I feel like she was the most loved member after Yujin, and amassed a fanbase really quickly. But I don’t think that was the original plan and with her weight gain. SS had a “reason” to sideline her.  :ducky:

It’s simple, Liz gained weight and they sidelined her. Then Leeseo somehow gained more screentime.

To be fair, crackstink fans thought BlackPink invented the color palette combo of black and pink, so its kinda fruitless to argue with a bunch of degenerates. :rip:

imo she shined a lot in eleven and her lines were great

i’d still put her in 3rd when it comes to popularity though (among kpop stans at least)

 

starship just needs to give her more lines and that’s it, like i’m not even asking for center time or something :rip:

The whole album leaked via concert kii

 

And it's great, Born Trash cant relate. 

Siyoon had rent to pay :jonny5:

they're so underrated, top 3-4 stage presence wise among 4th gen girlies

 

What are Everglow doing?? :celestial5:They've lowkey disbanded because there is seriously no sign of new music anymore

Literally. We’re not asking for center. Or most screentime. Or dance breaks. All she needs is more lines and adlibs because that’s where she shines the best. The vocals.
and the reason i keep complaining about Jeongyeon is the exact same as Liz. Poor sis has only one role in that group, and even that is not utilized properly, so how is she supposed to get a member-shine? 
i know kpop stans usually love to “root for the underdogs” but these two girls’ situation goes way beyond just being “underdogs” because they’re arguably the best vocalists in the respective groups, so it’s different. :gaycat6:

Billlie is kinda my fave nugu except ring my bell kinda sucked.

 

Their two first mini's though, WHEW. Scalped :jonny5: the new Loona!

You already know even by looking at her offscreen persona that she’s way more mature than most girlies of this generation. I have a feeling she really knows what she wants out her career and she has the skills and talent so she’ll go far :coffee2:

It is so refreshing to have an Idol like her in the Kpop industry. She is really talented, funny and relatable. She is like one of us and you know you will be very good friends if you meet her. My ultimate favorite idol ever. Hot girl Yunjin indeed :jonny:

as if everglow haven't been tanking with each cb cause of bad song choices

Let see what viral moment will Gaeul have this comeback :bird: The Gaeul cult will make her more famous than Wonyoung. Thats what happens when you are actually a nice person.

I kinda feel like they're closer to f(x) rather than Loona

anyway I hope their next comeback will be a success, their sales keep increasing and compared to other nugu girls they're doing extremely well at least sales wise, basically on their way OUT of nugudom, but we NEED that first win :jonny5:

Both groups need to be saved. I suggest to smash them together and make a new group Glowiteverzy :chick1:

Considering they appeared as a full group just about a month ago (and looked good doing it), they're probably preparing for something soon, I'll guess coinciding with another global tour to meet up with all their youtube fans. 

 

Some think that Everglow being the one Yuehua act not to launch a bubble app is some kind of sign of demise, but really that's exactly the kind of activity Everglow needs to stay away from in order to continue without more delays. :keir:

Ring Ma Bell isn’t my favorite song but the b-sides on that mini are still incredible

 


SAAY her pen never misses :jonny6:

The fact that even in this lineup Mia will still get the most lines :dies:

KRYSTAL x Ralph Lauren

 

She's so effortless. The last outfit reminds me of a f(x) comeback so much too :jonny:

I Have noticed that you have a very specific and clear type in terms of which idol you’re stanning. 
You seem to always stan the “underrated main vocalist” such as Jeongyeon, Liz, Woojin, D.O etc. like I see so many parallels between Jeongyeon and Liz especially. 
All of these people you stan have also been claimed to be “visual holes” by Knetz (of course I don’t agree though)
