I dont know what your definition of western pandering is (and frankly i'm not interested ) but aside from all those 20+ english songs from TWICE, they've performed/appeared on:

- Today Show

- Kelly Clarkson Show

- Jimmy Fallon

- Late Night Show with Stephen Colbert 

- Billboard Women In Music

- Lollapalooza

- Billboard Interview

- Kiss FM Interview  

- Hollywood Reporter Interview

- Zach Sang Show Interview

- Various Western publication youtube interviews like Vanity Fair, GQ, ELLE etc

and more

 

promoting, being interviewed and performing all these english songs. if this is still not western pandering to the west to you then godbless your innocent little once heart

 

and please do list all these kpop acts with "long english discographies" you're talking about cause so far my research for kpop girl group with most english songs/releases is TWICE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks to this wonderful showcase of jobless and obsession behavior, I've discovered some performances and interviews videos I wasn't even aware of as a stan. Nayeon looked snatched in that ICSM performance, whew.

This is so boring, like the song is not catchy and is going nowhere!

 

Jesus, Joy's mini is horrible  

 

Joy's mini is so boring wtf

 

It's sad in SM, when you get "demoted" to a lower division, they only give you the scrapped demos  

also to bring this useless disussion to an end, no group has successfully "westernized" themselves like BP. It was always the plan and it never felt forced or inorganic. It also has nothing to do with the amount of english versions or songs released, bc BP was cracking the west easily way before The Album dropped in 2020.

 

but the thing is that also has a lot to do with them seemingly being more comfortable within western norms due to their upbringings and world views.

 

To bring it all home they basically cheated the system by just sitting there and eating their food for 7 years whilst connecting and socialiting in Hollywood and Europe (mostly Paris), making connection and securing their spot in modern pop culture, where they are cemented as culture icons individuelly as well as a group, which Twice anf BTS failed to do. 

Basically everything panned out right in the end. we had to cheer.

How come no one has posted JOY yet?

 

 

This sounds like a Power Up / Umpah Umpah follow up Was expecting the chorus to be more exploding

 

Yeah… ended up being boring because the chorus went nowhere

Red Velvet's solos are way too late in their career. Like it needed to have been end of 3rd gen or early 4th gen but they're getting their solos during 4.5/5th gen and it's just entirely too late

 

 

After Rich Man, we need to start getting official Aespa solos before it's also too late for them.

Get Up And Dance is kinda cute

Yes. You probably didn't knew because it was actually not that good. Love her as an idol but none of the songs stood out for me.

I legit can only remember Nayeon having a solo  and then the Japanese subunit just because it pissed me off they didn't go by MiMOSA instead of MISAMO  

I like the title it's cute! Mini is easy listening. I'm going to Busan on holiday tomorrow so JOY will be perfect for that. I just wish they got better solo music but wishing for more from SM is not worth losing the hair and my patience  

Where is the chorus for Joy's comeback song? It needs to have a much bigger impact. This is basically her first original solo song and it feels like a b-side.

 

Then SM will act confused when it bombs

The trinity of best last choruses in Kpop 

 

I just woke up. Streets saying Joy's album is bad 

gonna watch the Mv and stream it after work

Why is cortisol releasing a 90s-2000s pop rock boyband song now, what's their musical direction apart from trying to appeal a western audience?

 

Also no one conveniently brought the IVE's dance snippet for their new title...
