Given that only 30 of these 65 shows are planned to be in North America, the number of shows will undoubtedly increase. Considering the additional dates, I think it'll probably reach 100. But I doubt they'll stretch it out over several years. They're likely planning a tour lasting 1-1.5 years. Then they'll take another break and focus on their solo work.

 

 

The group has some really good Japanese songs, and their performances are really good. I think they've made a good debut for their Korean album as well. They just need to tone down the autotune a bit more.

 

 

 

After all, Taylor did The Eras tour in 1.5 years, but with their intense choreos, it's going to be very intense. If the album is coming out at the end of March, I wonder if they're going to release a pre release ?

Rumor has it that they will be releasing 2 pre-releases. The album is reportedly ready and they've already started some photoshoots. It seems they've become gym bugs lately, partly because they want to get physically stronger to handle the intensity of the tour. 

 

This top 15 hit

 

 

 

Oh, he's been pushing all the Wattpad bad boy buttons lately.  

 

 

Well ... 

 

Court rulings, police decisions, and notices from the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism (MCST) consistently found "no evidence" of SM engaging in illegal or deceptive practices, undermining ChenBaekSi's bid to invalidate their exclusive contract. 

 

 

 

And the judge's decision over the validity of NewJeans contract is also coming this week too... 

Im loving this mess, exols are destroying each other in X 

 

South Korea is the biggest example of a capitalist dystopia in the world and idol culture is perhaps the biggest example of commodification of human lives (not counting the slavery that goes on in the Gulf countries) in the world so I wouldn't expect any south korean court to rule in favor of CBX or NJZ.

I forgot that EXO has a lot of toxic solo stans . 

At least this time there won't be too much fighting about line distribution

Spaghetti is one of the worst songs I've ever heard in my life. Not a single catchy thing about it 

The i e a i e a part is kinda cathy ngl

 

How is Riize suddenly selling 200k copies of their six month old album out of nowhere?

I see you SM, trying to make Oddisey the best selling album of the 5th gen.

I mean, there are so many one-hit wonders in SK; it's wild . It's like Knetz have no problem looping a song for months but don't even bother checking their follow-up. 

But you're right about K-pop saturation. Companies aren't helping with putting in a new group every year without letting the other one grow and establish itself more! The worst part of this is that everyone seems to have the same tiring aesthetic and style on their teasers and mvs. 

I wonder if people are exhausted of kpop or if it's just because the music doesn't click. 

Hopefully next year is better. 

 

You guys are trying so hard to turn everything into a K-pop vs Western thing when it really doesn't apply here.

 

Casual listeners are like this everywhere,  not just in Korea. Do I really need to list how many one-hit wonders we've had in the West over the past decade?Artists like Carly Rae Jepsen "Call Me Maybe" was massive, but nothing after came close to that kind of mainstream success. Meghan Trainor had "All About That Bass," then faded just as quickly. Gotye etc

That's definitely part of the problem. K-pop was in expansion, so we kept getting more and more groups until there was no more demand for all of them. Like, what was CUBE thinking when they debuted Lightsum while i-dle was still hot?

This 5th gen was a mistake because they debuted when 4th gen groups were still at the top of the game. They had no one to replace! Now the newer groups struggle to get enough attention because people are already invested in the older established groups. And I learned HYBE is gonna debut another gg? This bubble is gonna burst 

u are easily debunked 

 

Wonder girls/Miss A

SNSD/F(x)

Twice/Itzy

LSRF/New Jeans 

 

 

Thats not the issue

Spaghetti might be the weakest LSFR song but it's still catchy and fun
