    some of the new members not giving new at all 

I listened to the new nMESS song, it’s not bad, but it’s nothing special. Idk what it is about this group, but I just don’t see it for them, I’m just so bored. The talent is there, the dancing/performance skills are there, but they’re just also…there.

 

nothing about them makes me want to invent in them, Lily hard carries the group, the others are pretty much faceless and just there. I don’t get any personality from them

 

i just don’t care and the music definitely doesn’t help

The day Koreans collectively lost their taste and never found it since

It ended because Bighybe didn't want them on the books when Pledis was transferred from CJENM.  It'd be like Source Music incinerating Gfriend before getting acquired, minus the success. :cm:

 

The real sad part is Hinapina lost their financing when the money guy who partnered with the former Pledis/SM executive found himself with millions of dollars of medical equipment circling the Pacific with no where to port during the beginning of the pandemic and freaked out.  And none of those big boy group companies were willing to throw them a lifeline.

 

:cm:

PRISTIN disbanded a year before Pledis was acquired by HYBE

also how do you know so much about flop kpop girlgroups? :deadbanana2:

It’s the day I entirely stopped trusting Koreans as a nation and never saw that country the same since

 

A DENT in Korean history!

 

Also, GFriend never could fully recover from it despite having some followup hits, koreans just were anti-women and wanted the school girl concept forever

 

GFriend was READY to move and evolve and with such a great concept and song

 

GFriend disbanding is Kpop’s biggest loss of the decade

the fact that all JYP ggs’ last comebacks failed to enter melon upon release is just… :psyduck:

twice is somehow understandable due to friday release, lack of korean promotions and stuff but still the others :deadbanana2:

the difference :redface:

Maybe if these girls could get their  Instagram accounts it would be less tragic!!!
 

It’s going to be interesting to see which one between Gaeul and Rei is #3 in the long run. Gaeul have a very dedicated c bar but Rei is popular in Japan and in SK and have the best engagements on twitter. 
edit: 

 

‘wait Rei is stomping right now :dies:

 

Liz sales :rip:. Hope it’s just bc it’s the beginning

it will be Rei imo

tbh i’d put Liz above Gaeul too when it comes to overall popularity (even though she lost her momentum and has been getting sidelined nnn)

 

Leeseo might end up overtaking the others in the future tho, she is super young so it’s hard to tell

Gaeul's popularity seems to be just a stan Twitter thing :deadbanana2:

Can someone explain to me IVE/IZ*ONE's Wonyoung popularity? I'm a casual IVE stan and Wonyoung was never my bias in IZ*ONE (it was Yuri) but Wonyoung is really popular is she the visual in IVE?

Starshit cannot manage ****

 

i wonder how long it’ll take them to fumble the IVE bag and the mess erupts in flames
