It's funny because all of the top groups are starting to get a lot more uniform and boring in album packaging. My guess is that production costs are rising. IVE fans are pissed that they're just getting photobooks in plastic and Aespa have stopped doing unique version covers (Dirty Work didn't have unique retailer covers and Whiplash's were painfully bad and hard to tell apart from the original cover). 
 

I'll be pissed if Rich Man doesn't get a plushie version.

These are nothing alike from a graphic design standpoint and they're also both nothing novel. I highly doubt ILLIT was their jumping off point.

JYP and SS are the cheapest companies and their top groups sell million albums so there's no reason to invest that much 

 

twice you are that group 

 

I'm genuinely obsessed

Casually selling out stadiums in the US despite being a traditional kpop group without ever strictly pandering to the west with their music and none of the members being fluent in English nor any of them having any footing in Hollywood/American influencer culture. I mean they are absolute LEGENDS but who even doubted them tbh 

By the way, how comes idntt MV has twice as many views as Cortis's? Does MODHAUS use a lot of payola?

The way this was announced almost 2 weeks ago, yet the next teaser is still over a week away

 

they needed to create distance between the comeback and dirty turd to get the girls interested again

Nugu groups operate at a loss. So they aren't expected to recoup money until about 3-4 years into their career.

 

I'm sure JYP, Starship, SM, etc. are making cheaper physicals to save anywhere from $1-3 per purchase. And when you save that much for a group selling 1M+ albums, it really adds up.

but unlike JYP and SM, Starship has only one active group that is bringing money, so why not give interesting packaging to the moneymakers? dives wouldn't have an issue with the other groups albums if IVE also got some creative stuff 

they don't have company stans so now they are just alienating fans and making them hate kiiikiii, idid etc.

Cause IVE just like SKZ will sell albums no matter what, so Starship and JYP probably don't wanna invest too much on album packagings  

 

let's join forces and nuke these companies together

well sweatpiss, the Corticosteroid song is one of the worst songs of all time so people really have no reason to relisten, which probably explains the lack of views

 

thinking of adding it to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_considered_the_worst

whew if they gave this to NSHITTY WISH, poor Golden

 

 

 

 

Just found out Surf is a pre-release single, so that statement I made about WISH finally releasing a title track I like is null and void. Hopefully the title track is on par with, or even better than, Surf.

Modhaus does not play with their ads. The way I got ads in tiktok, insta & twitter back to back for them.

Why do you keep pretending that it hasn't been years since Twice has been actively promoting in the US? How are they not pandering to the West with their multiple English songs and features ? Like why deny the efforts that JYP and themselves made for them to grow in this market?

I liked the chorus a bit (and the choreography), but it didn't have much replay value for me. Might be one of those songs I appreciate later on.

When record labels do it, it's a promo.  When Modhaus does it, it's a pump and dump.
