they have no base in the US. they will need a lot of VPNs to make it happen.

Sunmi releases since 2022 have been so nugu like. 
 

Looking at her older songs, she used to be so blockbuster like and had a flawless single run

They'll have one by the end of 2026, as per the article

ATEEZ are bigger in the US than we actually give them credit for though

These are obviously fantastic but this time I wanted her to serve the 2013 dark Sunmi ala these smash classics:

 

the way her entire debut EP was flawless. Oh well, having said that, I'm not mad at the new song since I know it's just a digital single. I know she'll serve so much more with the album. She just needs to hurry the **** up. Agree? @sunmimi imfurst

BabyMonster had insane potential, but way too many bad decisions ruined their momentum:

- Group announced on January 1, 2023.

- Way too long of a teasing/training period.

- Ahyeon's controversy/absence during debut.

- Debut came almost a year after the first teaser (way too late).

- First song was really underwhelming.

- Second track Sheesh was decent (and the only one that managed to chart properly in Korea).

- Drip was pretty good, but the MV looked really cheap.

- Hot Sauce was fun, but far from the badass image expected from the group and YG in general.

 - Rami went on hiatus with no communication from YG.

 

Their physical sales aren't bad, so the potential is still there. But they'll need a solid plan and strong tracks for the October comeback and beyond 2026.

Also I've seen people slander this absolute HYMN and I'm disgusted

YG is setting himself up. why would you publicly share that you're aiming for the Hot100 by 2026 when Hot Sauce couldn't even go Top 100 domestically?

ad views dont count for the hot 100. 

 

 

BABYMONSTER and TXT are true boatmates. Both are direct juniors to 2 of the biggest K-pop acts of all time, both have struggled to live up to those expectations, and both were publicly set up by their CEOs with unrealistic Hot 100 goals

Do you seriously believe that Wonyoung is contributing more to the song other than writing a few lyrics? 

 

Lmao, idk but the TT where she's involved are not it!

There is not one Gen 4 GG title that blew me away this year. All of them have been lacking. What's going on? 

Yeah, so far only NMIXX TT was good from the 4th gen this year, imo...

Mel. would still say they are the biggest thing ever, based on their YouTube views and Spotify stats alone.

 

IVE's mini is good, the highlight medley was misleading and didn't do it justice. 
 

heartbeats and Midnight Kiss are my favorite bsides but I think I'm using all tracks. Wild Bird is easily the worst track tho

i dont expected xoxz to be a chill bop

cute but it's not after like

XOXZ sounds like a hit

XOXZ is amazing however they should do something with Liz hair its too similar with wonyoung theres several scene when i had to double check whether its her or wonyoung 

Queenie is serving

They need to work on Wonyoung's styling cause she doesn't stand out anymore  

XOXZ goes nowhere outside its chorus

This obvious green screen but the girls looking absolutely gorgeous

Who would've thought „Stacy Girls it's going down". Was their career trajectory. Can't believe these tracks came from the same people that gave us Fancy and Gotta Go. What happened

With $3.99 CDs. Do BABYMON have the fanbase to bulk buy yet?

I truly think that she's still serving what she always serves to the max, but they've actually amped up the styling for the other girls too. It's not "Wonyoung/Yujin & friends" anymore. It's now IVE as a complete unit. Something truly shifted during IVE-SWITCH era, and all of them have been serving looks and confidence like never before. Especially Gaeul and Liz. @hallucinate correct me if I'm wrong.
