Need IVE to make an attempt this summer after their Valentines smasha next month.

Considering that IVE and NewJeans are more girly / pop like GG used to be, one of them serving something like The Boys would be iconic just like it was for GG, but they donโ€™t have the vocals I fear.

Does it really matter who gets more lines in IVE?ย :michael:ย All of them have catchy and pretty voices anyway, I'm sure the producers just choose who they would prefer to sing each line depending on who fits it best.

Iโ€™m sorry but Iโ€™ll never get over Leeseo getting more lines than Liz. And for whatย :biblio:

ย 

but having said that, the overreactions need to stop. IVE will be fine as long as they utilize all the members properly as per their strengths. And itโ€™s not too late to do that. Theyโ€™ve established themselves as a top 4th gen gg by leveraging Wonyoung and Yujinโ€™s popularity until now, and now they need to shift the focus onto other members as well. Wonyoung will still remain an integral part of their promotions because sheโ€™s quite literally the one member bringing in the most fans. I donโ€™t see that changing. She was hated from the iz*one days and she is hated today simply because she is a bigger star than most 4th gen female idols. This situation is really more similar to Jennie than we think. I just hope WY remains strong as Jennie did during her peak-hate days and sheโ€™ll continue to rise up.ย 
The people who are making a big deal out of this are those that want the group to fail, especially Wonyoung to fail. Itโ€™s pretty clear.ย 

Honestly the only 4th gen group that could do something like The Boys is NMIXX but the song would be a mess. NewJeans is going to serve something like Bad Boy in the future or Red Light, I can see IVE doing something like Run Devil Run. (If they switch up, of course)

Uhm If anything, she's going to be the talent hole, like have you seen their rap line cause Hikaru cannot rap like that at all??ย ย :rip::rip::rip::rip:ย They literally have the best female rap line in Kpop history:

ย 

All of the girls are at least lead dancer level as well and I mean ALL OF THEM.ย 

ย 

ย 

ย 

Lmfao you clearly donโ€™t know Hikaruย :bibliahh:. First of all, all these girls rap are cringe af, the 2 girls have litterally the same tone and why are they trying to challenge Jimin voice from AOA ???

ย 

2nd, Hikaru is one of the best dancer from the 4th gen, and her stage presence is insaneย 

ย 

ย 

itโ€™s crazy how sheโ€™s hidden in the back despite being one of the most popular.ย 

Kep1er is a whole mess ย

Okay youโ€™re right about thatย :dies:
ย 

They ย stan SEA idols if they meet their beauty standards. Minnie, Hanni & Nichkhun Lucas are/were all very popular. Nichkhun was an It-boy before his DUI.ย 
ย 

Idols like Lisa & Bambam donโ€™t look Korean enough for them to stanย :toofunny2:

ย 

ย 

Yeah itโ€™s all about visuals for Knetz lol!ย 
I fear for the 2 Thaรฏ girls, if they donโ€™t fit their tastes โ€ฆ.

The comments are really eating them up omgย :redface:ย 

This performance will really be a huge scar for IVE sadly, which is very unfair, cause every group are literally lip syncing while sitting down as wellย :deadbanana4:ย 

Liz could've easily sung this live and all of this could've been avoided, but Starship was too stubbornย and of course had to give Wonyoung aka their worst singer the gig, since she's "Wonyoung the it-girl"ย and there's simply just no other optionย :cm:ย Well the It-girl they was so confident in just ruined their credit possiblyย :redface:

I wonder if Starship would still dare to give Wonyoung and Leeseo more lines than Liz in the next comeback, cause they NERVE if they doย :toofunny2:

ย 

The way the comments are filled with NMIXX praise as well, and how talented they are compared to IVE and how unfair the popularity gap is between them and IVE. I hope this will make people appreciate NMIXX more especially Knetz, since they choose to ignore a talented group like them over IVE. Actually Knetz have no right to complain about IVE, since they have always preferred visuals over talent and majority of the most popular 4th gen girl groups right now in Korea are literally the least talented onesย :biblio:ย 

Like I can't believe this is a scandal when this have been the norm for YEARS, poor IVE...ย 

ย 

Poor Wonyoung, we are literally witnessing the start of her downfall and it looks like Starship are already over Wonyoung, and have already moved over to Gaeul as the next it girl I fearย :gaycat7:

wonyoung and leeseo have a similar type of voice (wy is better tho) so when the producers give both of them lots of lines in one song it just doesnโ€™t workย :redface:

ย 

also people complain about wy and yujin being the center but honestly itโ€™s the right choiceย :penguin:

Yeah imo Yujin and Wy deserves their center positions. But Wy getting the most lines is UNFAIR. Like Imagine if Naeun was getting all the lines instead of Eunji ย ?ย

All starship needs to do is a little damage control (which will probably start once half the group is better) and all will be well again. ... I hope.

Liz in King of mask singers is coming thenย :duca:ย or a group LIVE stage in Immortal songsย

Why is my girl Jeongyeon gaining so little?ย :biblio:ย ย I blame that weird username and her barely posting compared to other membersย :rip:

her hiatuses probably didn't help her numbers surge right off the bat when they made solo accounts either.

Screaming at Tzusus kinda surging.

Yeah her multiple hiatuses exactly at the time when Twice was rising globally with I Canโ€™t Stop Me affected her popularity.ย 
and she also doesnโ€™t post many beauty shots like most other members do. Like come on girl, youโ€™re gorgeous. Flaunt your beauty moreย :rip:

ย 

But you gotta give it to Twilegends. Even their least followed account has over 6M. Imagine if JYPig had allowed insta accounts early on.ย

I had never thought about this but ugh it would be so goodย :jonny5:

a 2000s eurodance-inspired bop like Theme Song of Love would fit NewJeans so well

So obsessed with OMG and its only been a week into 2023. :deadbanana2:


Those tweens DID THAT

Brave Girls contracts expire next month and there's still no information on renewals

ย 

Fans protested outside the building today and placed banners all over the street because the company refuses to communicate (they ignored over 150 hand written letters)

ย 

They're saying Brave Bros blew a lot of money on his flop NFT project and the NFT buyers are suing him for $2.5m because he refuses to answer them

ย 

It's all a mess. He's getting dragged on Korean online communities

ย 

I think they will probably not renew which is why he sent them on tour and 1654325 festivals instead of a comeback.

ย 

He was startled and refused to answer when Yoo Jae Suk asked him if BG renewed back in June

YG needs to stop lying, everything about XG screams YG, even their name rhymes.ย  ย :cm:

Don't care if this has been posted. Still gonna get my clip off.ย 

ย 

ย 

Sharon full on reverted with her English or maybe the southern Texas accent clashes with the Japanese/Korean....:biblio: Second generation Latin-X American Jihyo sounding like JLo without her fraudulent Puerto Rican accent. The evolution.ย :clap3:

The dramatic over IVE on the last few pages :biblio:

ย 

They'll be fine for now and the stans and GP will switch back once they served bop on their next comeback. However Starship need to do some damage control after the lipsync mess. It's time for them to push Liz and Rei to the front seat and even form a subunit with Yujin to showcase their vocals and shut the haters off. At the same time, send Wonyoung, Leeseo and Gaeul to do more vocal lessons so they can sing live.

Noย one gaf about lipping especially in kpop, it's just being used toย moveย onto theย next gg (newjeans) just like it happened with aespaย :bam:

Wow the way you gagged me, causeย I'm a casual listener of Kep1er but I didn't know that Miss Hikaru could move like thatย :clap3:ย  Though she still isn't touching the XG rap-line in rap

Sheโ€™s an amazing dancer! In fact Kep1er dance line is packed with excellent dancers (Xiaoting, Dayola, Youngeun for the main alongside Hikaru and ย Yujin and Yeseo for the lead dancers)! I think these girls are almost on par with Itzy dance line, but their creative team donโ€™t showcase their talents well.ย
