Mel. Posted January 13 Posted January 13 It has to be said I'm gonna be bold enough to say "APT" is bigger than "Gangnum Style" 8 4 2
Mel. Posted January 13 Posted January 13 It's sad that it took one year-end performance for Koreans to get it, but better late than never 4
MAKSIM Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Mel. said: It has to be said I'm gonna be bold enough to say "APT" is bigger than "Gangnum Style" I'm inclined to say no, it's not, at least in the US. I can't speak to the European/asian/latin American markets though. You can still play Gangnam Style 10 years later in the US and both younger and older generations know the dance or lyrics. Will that be the case for APT in 10 years? It also has to be said….Apt is a pop song with a Korean word in it. Gangnam style is k-pop, with purely Korean verses where the English "hey sexy lady" hook doesn't play until 1:30 minutes into the song. Apt SHOULD be bigger as it has the ingredients to be bigger, but I still don't buy it. Edited January 13 by MAKSIM 2 1
OrgVisual Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Gangnam Style came at the time when nobody outside of Asia knew what Kpop is and no Korean artists have ever made it to global stardom. And the song was 100% in Korean. Its success was monumental and more akin to Squid Game which took the global world by storm. APT is a 90% English song featuring the most popular artist in the world right now. The comparison barely makes sense 10

I saw her bubbles and I was fuming I think there was a mistranslation of her bubble messages which made it seem like she was stopped from doing RDR. I think she was just too busy with filming for her acting projects at the moment, so probably couldn't fit it all in. Still strange/disappointing that SM couldn't arrange her schedule so that she had time to participate in it though. They've been planning this anniversary concert for a long time.

hallucinate Posted January 13 Posted January 13 4 hours ago, OrgVisual said: Is this a pre-release or title track? It's okay I guess, very much I AM 2.0; much better than their last 3 title tracks though. MV is very boring pre-release single main title track coming along with mini album on february 3rd
thedeathbymusic Posted January 13 Posted January 13 "Love me, hate me, you will never be me" should have been used in a c*nty title track for Wonyoung's debut as a soloist, not a watered down I AM 2.0 that is showing just how useless IVE has become as a group 1 1
Rainy Devil Posted January 13 Posted January 13 The new IVE song tries too much to be I AM 2.0. Is okay, but I was expecting something new and better.

Gorjesspazze9 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Heart2Heart Debut song better not be them in a classroom and singing about first crushes. We want a revolutionary change for K-pop. Also I hope all of them are more vocalist
Bewitched Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) Ryan better be ******* trolling bc I do not need him to be involved with Loossemble unless it's just making music for them if they join his company it's gonna be the trenches after what he did to bugaboo he can kick rocks!

illia Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Jisoo comeback YES we had to cheer Rebel Heart... is definitely a song that exists.
ItsJustMe. Posted January 13 Posted January 13 okay REBEL HEART is cute BUT the LOVE ME HATE ME part is so good, I wish it was the actual chorus or they at least did it again after the bridge they made it sounds so iconic and epic at the SBS Gayo Daejeon the rebels in our heart part is a little lame, so it's not as perfect as I AM but still very nice! 2
