no wonder some people hate newjeans with a passion omg. they were in my most listened artists in 2022 but i never considered myself a stan since i dont even know half of the members. but they're truly a one of kind group

 

The way it hasn't been the same since the day I randomly entered this thread in 2022, minutes after they surprise drop the Attention video. Wow, what a moment... a moment that is most pleasing to me.

 

Having lived through my 2nd gen Kpop stan phase in middle school, I almost dropped the whole genre altogether after things became stale and predictable. These girls + MHJ singlehandedly reintroduced (and introduced) a lot of people back into Kpop again. I literally bought the Bluebook album (my first K-pop album purchase) + their LINE collab merch because it finally felt good again to listen to K-pop (and maybe cause Ms. Hanni is Viet-Australian). They're truly a once in a generation kind of group.

what the hell is going on this year 

 

if she's retiring, I'm guessing it's probably a wrap for ALICE soon since she's like their most popular member

Sad how no one noticed Bella and Hyeseong running away with rich guys, but Sohee requires a press release.

BSH wanting to copy Billie Eilish for his new gg. 

 

I mean how would that have worked??? 

Before BTS' fluky success, the top pop producer turned business man was Kim Dohoon, and his Purky girls have been influenced by Billie Eilish a number of times.  And then there's that group owned by SM and managed by former top Loen executives that straight up named their artsyfartsy group Billlie.  It's just kpop!

Both groups were associated with BTS, by the media, but the promotion of Newjeans in Korea was behind the title of Min Hee Jin's new girl group. The media would always say that it was an interesting choice. This BTS little sister narrative is not so true.

Just looking at Bighybe's recent earnings reports (done before there was any public knowledge of Min Heejin going rogue), they didn't delineate subsidiary performance -- all the good idol group results were presented as going to the main company's bottom line.

Just a question..... Is something fishy going on with the government in Korea rn ??? Like public officials getting sued/investigated/elections/new laws being pushed, etc ???

 

You think they actually took down pannchoa to protect the teenyboppers?

OMH keep saying Min Hee Jin pedo this pedo that, but in fact NewJeans girls were always wearing very long safety pants, while those pig mans in HYBE keeping making minors like Eunchae doing sexy dance and ILLIT girls wearing SEE THROUGH skirt

They learned from the disaster that was Weeekly, where the actual school uniforms the girls were wearing revealed more skin than the stage uniforms they were performing in.  Really turned off a potential audience from spending less time at school.

I think HYBE overplayed it. Fifty Fifty are basically nobodies so the media blitz worked but MHJ might be a bit too famous to turn the public against her with just the media.

Fifty Fifty broke down when Warner Music decided to stop supporting the crooked Ahn Sungil soon after signing their deal with aespa, so in someways aespa stomped Fifty Fifty, but that's obviously one of those kpop coincidences.  In this version, the crooked exec tried going after the biggest label in Korea, without even major label support.  Kinda gutsy.  Or just crazy.

It's crazy. Majority of K-YouTube (which has lots of right-wing leaning boomer Koreans who spend their days leaving hate comments), the "left"-leaning female K-communities like Nate Pann/TheQoo/K-Stan Twitter, and the right-leaning/incel male communities like FMKorea are on MHJ's side (or at least sympathize with her) after MHJ's press conference.

On the right side, most of the comments are condemning PD Bang for trusting a woman in the first place, and that Heejin is pretty when she cries.

then why did she work with irene for so long?

At SM her position was more of a staffer level, so of course she was scared of Irene.

I wonder what happened in a parallel timeline where BPD managed to get his hands on SM.

We truly dodged a bullet.

He was never in it for SM, he was in it for his new friend Lee Sooman could get all the money out of the situation, as Bang PD was the new kid in the club.  Surprised he wanted to stop aespa rather than bury them in the ground like a tree sapling.

I noticed it too. It's sad because woo!ah! had some charm to it, while WOOAH kinda gets lost in hundreds of other uppercase group names

@harrythevifan do you know why they changed it?

The new investor in the company didn't like the old name of the company, probably doesn't like exclamation points!

Welp I guess this officially confirms that NATURE has disbanded since their company won't announce it.

 

Haru now works at a hostess club 

 

 

Uchae is also a cheerleader.  There was a news article about the company's CEO that read more like a press release/state-of-the-n.CH and didn't really mention Nature's future, either.  Apparently they're auditioning new girls.  Maybe CEO Changhwan can hire his old friend from SM as the art director for that group.

to think bang pd and bts were once underdogs

 

bangpd need to stay humble and to not forget his roots. all that bts money really got into his head and belly

Underdogs to who? Got7?

 

He may not have been as well known internationally like his good friend JYP, but he had all the experience, financing, notoriety and connections to succeed in idol entertainment.  Just needed some luck, like Block B disappearing and someone thinking the future for Got7 was in aerial martial arts, for example.

Still can't believe I witnessed this song live when I turned 23 this year.

 

And heard Taylor's 22 for the last time before I turned 23 this year too.

 

The stars aligned for me this year.

It wasn't even that tbh (even tho we were scammed lmao), it was just the whole room was SCREAMING, doing the choreo and waving their lightstick. I really want to see the aespa movie but Idk if I want to pay 25 bucks to just be annoyed for 2 hours.

Jay Park left which wasn't a big deal until he set up a new agency 6 months later. 

 

Nobody is staying on that sinking ship longer than they're contractually bound to.
