Why on earth are they using the African accent :deadbanana4:! No originality, always stealing other cultures! Bang PD you’re a loser and this is why no one will take you seriously 

 


I fear you made some point a few days ago @geniecantstophypeboy

 

because the song is afrobeats/amapiano inspired. you only hear it when they sing the one word so the demo was probably sung that way so they followed suit. similar to the way antifragile was done.

What bothers me is what exactly is their brand conceptually and sonically? :hippo:

 

 

they've long since established their concept, its about being strong and confident and hardworking. all their 4 title tracks have had similar themes... they just sound different and that's ok.  :coffee2:

They need to hire better art and concept directors.

 

 

This is not a shade but I felt like they are just a more palatable and  Gen Z friendly Itzy.

I know exactly that the song is inspired of African music lol, but why try to sound like an African artist when they’re Korean :ace:? It’s very problematic and perfectly explains why Kpop still doesn’t have a distinct sound compared to others musical genres

Wish You Hell will have 3 versions and pre-orders are open now. 

 

Hopefully SM releases a teaser schedule so we know when the album details might get released, I'm curious to see the packaging concept!

because the inflection/tone is a big part of the musicality of the genre, no? it's also why they had people accusing them of singing like Rosalia/sounding Spanish, HYBE/kpop in 2024 prioritizes what sounds better/emulating trends over pushing boundaries and creating its own niche wbk

Blog post from the designer.

 

Short summary: They say the whole process felt like a class assignment given to the NJ members by representative MHJ, with each member spending hours shopping on their own IRL or while traveling, taking photos / selfies and discussing the why and the how of the furniture they wanted, with the goal being to create a harmonious living space reflecting each member's individual ideas and taste, as opposed to a more uniform living space done by a professional.

 

It's interesting how MHJ go about teaching them and mentoring them even outside of work. :celestial5:
