Queens. They also mentioned they are planning "a surprise" in November for their 5th anniversary

 

 

Hopefully either their solos, single album or teasing their next mini/full album. These girls are the gift that keep giving.

Home Sweet Home is a G-Dragon song from the same album as the rest of his charging songs that is being unfairly credited to Bigbang because circle always finds new and exciting ways to discredit GD despite him still ending up far and away the top performing artist in the chart's history. In reality nobody will be catching up to him this year.

Baby, there's no denying he's smashing this year. But we have 16 weeks of charts left. He's about to pull just north of 20M when the charts refresh tomorrow and Aespa will be around 50M. Aespa have releases coming in October and November whereas GD doesn't have anything else on the slate for this year. 
 

G-Dragon will end up sweeping most Daesangs because he released an album so early in the year, but this is finally the year where Aespa will be the #1 digital act by a mile.

hybe really fumbled a legendary project. i mean they got katseye now but their discography sucks :'(

The KATSEYE fans think they're already doing it again to them :deadbanana: Truly a worthless company.

 

It seems like LSF got some good will back with "Hot" so hopefully they capitalize on that.

They have a release on 10/29 and 11/12. I'd imagine it's the Japanese release on 10/29 and the Korean solos on 11/12.  Daesang seasons usually run from November-November and Aespa missed out on a few Daesangs (and even bonsangs) just because they released "Whiplash" 14 days too early. I think SM at least wants to try for Bonsangs (potential NJ and BTS comebacks will block Daesangs).

Aespa's performance on GMA is the FLOP of the year omg

 

The korean comments are BRUTAL, they're getting skulldragged

 

The lack of energy, the no singing, and out-of-sync mid choreo, the mediocrity…

His lead is over 500m points. Let's not count our chickens before they hatch :lakitu:

 

After hybe and YG media play turned him into a laughing stock he really really earned this moment.

I hope so. Ahh i can't wait. So much new music. We better give a full length album. Whether it be a mix of languages like half Korean half English or full English and then let the girls rest please Dx

Relax it was just a bad performance. Flop of the year is such an exaggeration considering the run that they've had and are just getting started. We all know that they can sing and serve. They're human!

Outpeaking #1 is impossible, #1 on MELON & GENIE and hitting the roof every year for 5 years.

WELL WELL WELL The biggest KPOP Hits this year were co-written by Chat GPT

 

Vince said he used ChatGPT to help him write Soda Pop.

 

 

it's kinda crazy how big of a deal the GMA stage turned out to be, yeah it wasn't good and choices were made, but why everyone act like it's a career ending thing :rip:

Apart from twitter stans nobody is saying their career is over. Koreaboo why are y'all even reading that? We know just like AKP they will take one information extrapol it to death and run with it.

 

All they need is to do better the next performance and not pull a LESSERAFIM where the live was bad and then lipsynced the next performance.

But I'm fearing SM is tone death, they saw the backlash instead of ditching the choreography they either hired dancers or flew out dancers... Like they know the american cameramen and producer will always shows that one member standing on the side.

For a company that often is vocal about mental illness, they sure do have a lots of idols with anxiety.

Because they were jealous and wanted to make their own version that BSH could take credit for

This was definitely planned in the internal documents!! (Which everyone forgot about so quickly, it's very strange)

It took me 5 seconds to find "Going Dumb." Literally all of your faves have done it. You want to criticize SNSD, but you spend all day posting touring stats for a group that would have never even left South Korea if it weren't for SNSD. Ironically, JYPE's doors probably wouldn't have been open without SNSD Jr. (TWICE) keeping them afloat.

It takes about 2 seconds to realize that Going Dumb is a collab between DJ Alesso and SKZ - it's not SKZ's song, since they're only featured. And even if it were, SKZ have over 200 songs in their discography. If just 1–3 of those were Western demo-style singles, it still wouldn't change anything in the bigger picture.

 

Also, trying to credit SNSD for SKZ's global touring power is wild, considering SNSD themselves never even toured outside of Asia :rip:

 

When we talk about K-pop's global success today, it's clear that SKZ and the other 4th gen groups are benefitting from the foundation BTS and BP built on a worldwide scale - not from that 1 David Letterman performance by SNSD :rip: And if you really want to credit a 2nd gen act for "paving the way," at least acknowledge Wonder Girls, who were the first K-pop act in history to chart on the Hot 100 - almost a full decade before the next group managed to do it.

I've never seen someone outside of their fanbase say that nor have they ever had a performance that had everyone talking. 
 

Their concert production is top tier and I'm sure they're great dancers. But how can you be an amazing performer with bad music and no S-tier vocalist?

It's not about what YOU see - there's a whole world outside of your bubble. Calling their music "bad" is purely subjective, not objective, when millions of people worldwide are listening to and loving it. And if you actually knew a bit more about SKZ, you'd know their music is literally created and meant for live performances and big stages :rip:

 

SKZ consistently receive praise for their performances from both critics and general audiences, and I could easily drop multiple clips to prove the point :celestial5:

 

Also, let's not ignore the fact that they just wrapped a 54-date stadium tour - with 0 clips floating around of them being lazy, out of sync, or underwhelming. And that's while they were simultaneously working on their album. The way they still devoured every stage says it all. Honestly, their work ethic is kinda unmatched

JYPE sucks at marketing, media play, and payola wbk, which is exactly why people feel so comfortable discrediting their groups. In reality, TWICE and SKZ are literally the biggest K-pop acts after BP and BTS globally. JYP Entertainment just doesn't care about chasing headlines, and that's why many people fail to realize this. As long as JYPE knows their groups are successful and pulling in more profit than almost everyone else, they don't really care, which is a horrible marketing strategy.mp3. What a useless company that don't know how to promote their groups :rip: TWICE and SKZ deserve better

This person spilled

In my opinion, while BTS and BP are on another level, based on many metrics Stray Kids and TWICE are right behind them and I don't get how people convinced themselves that the company that has two such successful groups is the one that "fell off" in terms of success.

JYPE also never managed to build loyal company stans that will defend their groups to the end outside of their own fanbases, like SM, YG and HYBE stans:

Quote

I also think one of the reasons why a lot of kpop fans often feel comfortable calling JYP groups flops when in reality they are not might be because there aren't many JYP "company stans". Every other big company has a lot of them, while there is such a small amount of people who listen to multiple JYP groups, let alone make stanning groups from the same company their whole online persona like many HYBE/YG/SM stans do.
