Buy out popular trainees, bring in expensive famous foreign producers, buy the same western demos through Scooter Braun, recycle the same concept outfits and "hot girl dancing" formula again and again, push 1 million remixes, hammer 1 million tiktoks, release half-baked albums, buy promotion with usual big names in the industry, variety shows / influencers / youtubers, push more promotion with the Hybe Family program... Quantity over quality. It's not bad, but it's a bit souless. Maybe it’s part of Yunjin storyline who will change the idol industry!

Pluto6 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 (edited) The way LE SSERAFIM have never missed with their title tracks and are 3/3 so far, only if we use the Fearless (Cassie remix) version instead of the original Otherwise they would 2/3, cause we don't claim the original Fearless over here I fear Edited February 12 by Pluto6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geniecantstophypeboy Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 30 minutes ago, Mitsuki said: It could be a copypasta Am I wrong, though? Unforgiven teasers were the biggest whiplash in recent times in Kpop and a clear example of overcompensating for the mid release with expensive marketing and style over substance. Other labels would have put more thought, spent more time and money on the album and comeback itself and less on the teasers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aespa have that SM experimental sound and image, Ive have a very strong musical identity, GIdle and Stray Kids mix spectacle and more personal input/message, Newjeans also have a very strong musical identity and do a lot of work with indie / non Kpop / non mainstream 3rd parties. That's alongside the usual collaboration with big brands and other promotional tactics. For Lesserafin, the balance leans heavily toward the latter. They don't have a creative identity as much. Their unforgiven album was also the weakest album among all the artists I mentioned here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
