Fuck off, sister. We're boycotting SM because it's been crickets on Seunghan since November and we aren't supporting any of their projects until they at the very least give an update or bring him back.

to think HYBE was about to acquire SM and none of their idols can't even hold a note, vocals and live performing are truly dead in Kpop

the clip i saw twitter was the only bad part, they actually did well overall

the first girl/one in the middle singing sounds beautiful, which member is it?

Minju. I kinda thought they picked her because she looks like she could fit in NJ and nobody would blink an eye, but yeah, she's got a nice voice. Age plays a factor here as well; she's almost 20 and not a child like some of the others.

That encore

WENDY shined in her solo comeback because she did ALL her music show stages in FULL LIVE and delivered stable vocals while doing the complete choreography.

 

I know she pushed and fought to sing her stages live and even used the microphone purchased by her fanbar instead of the standard mics. She did the same during Like Water too.

More idols should follow her example but the majority simply don't have the capabilities these days, evidently.

the way less than a year ago I was calling NJ babies but no, those are actual babies on stage 

 

that one with the eyes look terrified

Wendy Houston is the huge exception of course. She's been in the industry for like a decade now  Kpop sadly don't produce vocalists and talents like her anymore.

 

 

NMIXX and that girl from Purple kiss were cute tho

Illit ofc has payola but the term has become meaningless as instead of meaning "unfair / illegal practices or bribery" it just means "excessive marketing" now, and Hybe does that very well. Combine that with a cute image + an excellent, catchy earworm of a song very specifically marketed towards Tiktok, and you have exactly the same situation Hybe produced with NJ less than 2 years ago.

 

The other groups are just not marketed well enough in the sense that: a) they're too focused on one market, b) they're too focused on one sound (like BM copying BP, which surprisingly is now outdated), and / or c) they look at Tiktok as a "dance related app", which it is not. For kpop, it is a music app; it's where people discover music, rather than Spotify/AM/YT. Also, as much as we complain about underage members, the reality is that audiences generally don't care, and in fact, having younger members likely makes the group more relatable to the Tiktok demo.

[Odette Violet]

HYBE destroyed kpop. It's all about tiktok and children now

 

[newaespa]

Obviously ILLIT have been taking note from LOS SER, hence we can see the strong influences in their encore live

 

Hope they can learn from newjeans soon

Which one? The Korean websites Theqoo, Pann.nate, Instiz or the English website Pannchoa that translates the Korean websites?

 

Theqoo is a big general Korean discussion board with a mixed userbase that skews on the older side. Comments are usually civil.

Pann.nate is a discussion board dominated by female users that skews on the younger side. The comments don't hold back. You know what they say, Women's worst enemies are other women. Some call it a female incel forum.

Instiz is similar to Theqoo but smaller and more focused on pop culture talk.

 

Pannchoa is like what Netizenbuzz used to be and translates in English hot topic from Korean forums. It has its own community section that overlaps with "angry" Twitter users as far as I can tell. It's grounds for rants and fanwars.

 

The snarky comments I quoted were from Pann.nate.
