gigantopithecus Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The difference between ggs and bgs... oh wow. Is 2024 the year Korea will stop saying no? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantopithecus Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Also I think neither Seventeen or NCT even charted in the 2022 yearly chart top 100 right? Looks like they both experienced major growth to be in top 30 3rd gen groups have surprising longevity as far having continued growth. Even if Korea can't appreciate their grown women era, Twice is still blowing up globally the past couple of years too. BTS and BP are a given in this regard Based on Maniac's current chart behavior, I think Viviz is growing again too. RV is still doing really well despite SM sabotage too. I can't even imagine how much growth they'd be having rn if they had proper support Edited January 9 by gigantopithecus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this same post you identified at least one way they're completely different than their peers and predecessors with the music comment. How is it all marketing if the material itself is different?

Not you calling Jennie irrelevant when she's arguably one if the biggest kpop stars of her generation. Jennie is a d-list star in the US at best. She was a part of one of the biggest media spectacles in the US last year and nobody outside of the kpop sphere was mentioning her involvement except in passing. If Jennie Kim hasn't made it here, Wonyoung with her image which is totally opposite of what the US likes in artists has zero chance. 14 minutes ago, SchmoodRing said: Zoomers??

Witnessed ET Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 57 minutes ago, Rainy Devil said: idk. Not a chart expert. I honestly can't say is the music because there have been questionable songs that became hits. And their recent music was fine to me. Maybe the song will rise after a few days/weeks, I remember that Drama took some time to rise as well. My only issue with itzy is their vocals. I really don't like their tones. Their vocals are fine as long as Yeji, Chaeryoung and Lia take the key parts and the other two are distributed based on what suits them. The main issue has been the music since 2021. Im not saying it’s outright bad, some of it bops too, but it’s lacked a clear direction and branding recently that made Itzy Itzy in the beginning. People are just confused. Also they clearly have taken a back seat in terms of budget and focus after Nmixx debuted. That’s very clear to see. Either way, as a non-fan and a casual listener of Itzy, I did enjoy this comeback ngl, because there seemed to be at least more effort put into building individual profiles of the girls while also improving the music quality from the last few eras. Also I will never stop praising these 4 girls’ performance skills. Like it’s such a feast to watch them dance, I’m sorry LIAbility and I hope you get well soon, but I needed to see this OT4 dance era at least once. They’re such incredibly polished and sharp performers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait. 2 hours ago, Sailor Moon said: Poor Yuna I just recently got into them and have plans to see them in concert. I've just checked out their titles tracks but when I've tried to check out their other songs it's been a hit or miss. What is their concept and what does Itzy mean? Like what's their thing/lane? I love Dalla Dalla, Icy, Wannabe, Not Shy, Ting Ting Ting, In The Morning, Loco, Kill Shot and Psychic Lover. Cake and Sneakers were a hot mess. What in the kidz bop was even those 🤣 2 hours ago, Rainy Devil said: Quite shocking how not just koreans but like even their int kpop listeners left them behind. Gidle is a year older and they are doing better than ever. Probably has to do with the fact that G-Idle offers something different. I'm relatively new to them but I love how they're overall more mature and aren't the typical "cutesy" girl group one would expect from kpop. They kind of remind me of mid 2000s girl groups like The Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane. If Itzy is so "forgotten" I wouldn't have bothered giving them a chance. From what I've gathered in this thread it's a mix of poor choices in title tracks and then the odd marketing and promotion of this comeback by releasing content but not releasing it and have it available on platforms is rather weird... I'm currently listening to their new album and Mr.Vampire is still not it to me. Sounds like two different songs put into one but not in a good way. More Born To Be, Untouchable, Escalator and Dynamite please. 2 hours ago, geniecantstophypeboy said: Is Itzy truly over? They need better treatment. Why drop the gag that is BORN TO BE and then no promo and not available to stream? Very weird. The girls deserve to be managed properly. 2 hours ago, illia said: Le Sserafim are in LA right now, some of their staff is posting pics They must be shooting a music video already Comeback in mid-late February I guess I am really curious about them.
