i'm pretty sure it's even more severe now since there's this obsession with perfection

It's not about perfection, it's about being ready for their closeups.

I don't think nugu groups have that luxury. Only comeback stages with big production

Nugu girl groups don't have to worry about that anymore because they couldn't even go on these shows.  Like yesterday we only had Naver's crypto girl group, Kakao's #1 girl group, and Kakao's other #1 girl group.  Meanwhile, 4 more boy groups coming back next week!

starship probably tells them to make the choreo "more elegant" but it just doesn't work for songs like that

The bigger problem is they didn't put the girls in heels.  Elegant and flatforms do not mix.  Even boy groups get to be sassy with the wedge insoles.  Soyeon and the Griddles would come down with a mysterious illness (or bust out their own credit cards) if they weren't provided the correct work wear to elevate the concept.  Comfort is great, but presenting awkward femininity is awkward.

Kep1er extending their contract is great news, but Mashiro and Yeseo moving to the suburbs of the nugudom residency doesn't sit right with me.

 

Part of the reason Kep1er had the appearance of an over group last year is because the Yeseo/Mashiro contingent stopped supporting Kep1er (and may have contributed to some antis behavior) and bought 35k Limelight albums instead.  So while breaking up is sad, this conclusion is really better for all concerned.  Kep1er can do stronger concepts, Limelight can double down on what they are, and we end up with two crossover JPop groups instead of one.

The way 2NE1 shows up together every few years doing the bare minimum and still leaves us gagging… oh the international implications that that has

You've been in the trenches for Sistar, Monsta X and WJSN. You knew what you would get when you decided to Stan IVE.

But this isn't as much about the company anymore and more the time we live in.  Sistar went 3 years without a day off.  Nowadays, after a group appears to have any sort of traction, activities that go beyond 2 weeks are rare.  That Ive are out there for a 3rd week instead of just cramming everything into 2 (or less) like the rest of their class is unfortunately commendable.

baddie is a bop btw, people need to chill with the hate

 

Baddie is a bop  I didn't know it was hated

But I will say that the delivery of the IVE girls in these types of song is a bit hit or miss. Aespa would've ate Baddie.

uhm, you do know that the Kpop market has grown way bigger since SKZ debuted in 2018, right? Such as the album sales boost in 2022 for every Kpop group.

 

Btw, SKZ were always the best selling 4th gen group even in their first 3 years, with IZ*ONE being the only group giving them a run for their money

 

The way LOONA was the best selling until IZONE and stayed #2 over ITZY at times, yet Pluto loves disrespect them and for what? Stan wars

The beat is fast and their choreography is still sloppy  It's pissing me off because they're just walking. 

Honestly Yujin and Gaeul are still trying their best to salvage the mid choreo and i gotta give them their dues. These two always serve 100% in dancing and that tells us how good of performers they really are, but unfortunately, ive choreos are almost always "be elegant with a lot of hand flailing" and it's disappointing especially in bangers like Accendio which had so much potential.

Also any live my life slander is an automatic Permaban. Yall just don't understand Real Music

 

The cuts in the video are a bit much tho. Like every 3 million seconds the frames transition to a different scene.
