HYBE never did anything creatively nor supported the girls in their personal development. The label paid for playlisting and gave them access to certain manufacturing, but they also took a significant portion of their revenue to pay for it so it's not like HYBE did it because they wanted to support the artists.
 

What makes HYBE even shittier is that they were still taking that some cut of the revenue in 2024 from NJ to fund struggling groups like LSF and ILLIT, yet they stopped pushing NJ on Spotify and cut a significant portion of their promotional and advertising materials in hopes they could transfer that success to groups they had more control over.

LSRF struggling when they had to wait 2 years to get into TTH playlist

 

Nj was promoted as BTS's sister group btw

When will dearALICE ? SM needs to buy the rights to this song asap

[Zack]

She really walked on that set and said "after tonight, no one will ever again question my powers"

 

 

[illia]

This song makes no sense

Are they singing about falling in love with a lesbian, or an Ariana Grande fan? Or a lesbian Ariana Grande fan?

Or...*gasp* what if the Ariana mentioned in the lyrics of Ariana is not Ariana Grande at all but in fact a completely different Ariana altogether that people are simply confusing for Ariana Grande when the Ariana in question simply happens to share her first name with Ariana Grande. The mystery deepens. Their Ariana could mean anything! 

 

Keep streaming and the mystery will unlock. I'm sure of it!

Exactly, the song is clearly about a Ariana DeBose stan

 

 

In all seriousness though, SM needs a better stylist for them.

Ugh im such a hater idc this was the last thing we needed 

[JonginBey]

The way I find NCT 127 so unappealing now. Never thought I'd see the day. Obviously once they record new music, they can cater to the current members; but they do not sound good performing older songs. Also, Haechan's voice sounds even more annoying and unseasoned than before. Did the vocal coaches leave SM also?

Either way, off the record and baddie debuted all out of the top 10  Baddie managed to have a PAK, heya despite peaking at #2 was according to Gallup, one of the most loved songs in Korea  Rebel heart is rising, and the title will push it to the top 5 like baddie did with either way.  
 

And NJ didn't fall off at least in Korea/Japan 

Yeah exactly like...why are some people (it's the same few users btw) acting like they can speak on IVE's "downfall" with illogical essays and hot takes noone asked for? Lmao they're fine. If the main title track doesn't do well like Baddie then there is maybe room to worry but Korea still loves them. Yeah their global spotify numbers performance is kinda directly related to the bombastic pop-perfection quality of their songs like Love Dive, After Like, I Am etc. but that only means they just need to bring that back. Rebel Heart isn't bad by any means, it just doesnt live up to the big pop moments of their former title tracks and that's it. Some of yall are doing way too much while writing them off.

Awww~

 

IU on casting Taehyung for LWA MV

 

" V is also up to his ears. He has only a week to enlist in the military. It's a ridiculous schedule, but luckily, we were able to work the schedule, and thankfully, it got to take place. I think I'm using all the fortune I got from having kind friends on this album. I got so fortunate, so I was a bit surprised, and it gave me a lot of energy. "

 

" As soon as I woke up this morning, I checked on V, 'You didn't go to Seoul, did you?'. Even if V said he went back to Seoul, no one would have blamed him. Because we put him through so much trouble yesterday that it'll be inhuman to blame him for that. He's so kind. He's back at the site today. How can I repay him?" Taehyung provided food trucks of hot meals for the staff for both days of shooting. "He must be an angel."

NJ deserved TTH because they were organically popular from the start. They destroy LSF in every metric. Yet somehow LSF happens to be getting more playlisting than Aespa (despite doing worse). Let's not act like they aren't massive label pushes.

 

NJ were promoted as MHJ's new girl group. BTS fans latched on when they became commercially successful. It's not NJ's fault that nobody latched onto LSF's troubled debut.
