I got my copy, did you?

I bought like 20 copies. It was worth it cause I got Sunghoon's & Jay's clothes fabric from the album. I'm not going to tell you guys whether I sniff it or not

Wait I just realized my first mistake was expecting people who listen to Baddie by choice to be capable of thinking critically. I'm done for now. :sistrens:

For the last time, Odette Violet's negativity is literally just throwing obsessed anti's **** they constantly fling back in their faces. If you're not part of the problem like you're pretending not to be, it's really not that hard to see the pattern in who they do/don't drag.

Lol alright then. Whatever you say.

I wish you put all this energy into fighting OGHs who display actual vile and unhinged behavior for literal decades instead of pretty harmless IVE stans (I'm pretty sure some of them are kids too) :monkey:

Notice how the flavor of the month favorite GG of the sm antis here changes every couple of years but the users and their stale drags stay the same. Meanwhile we're still here talking about Genie in 2025. I wonder who the genuine fans who are being targeted with toxicity are vs who is a foaming at the mouth anti looking for excuses to be hateful.

Girl I literally caused Digitalism to have a mental episode less than two weeks ago. :deadbanana2: These people are more deranged than the OGHs but it's actually a very similar scenario. This Dive trying to convince themselves and the rest of the thread that Odette is the problem was doing the same thing to me a couple years ago but behind the guise of a different group who had better stats at the time. Claiming not to know this thread or the people in it but having strong opinions about a user's posting habits. Claiming defending your favs from antis by dragging the anti's favorite group is okay when Dives do it but not when Mys do. It's all just contradictions and double standards and trying to get away from the truth. They all act exactly like OGHs, they've been exposed for having a discord and dupe accounts exactly like the OGHs too.

and I'm here informing you that @Odette Violet, who is an anti of groups I'm a fan of too, is just keeping the same energy for obsessed haters that is thrown onto them. The week @Odette Violet joined, one of the 3 Dives was literally begging for them to be banned. Some users literally cannot mentally cope with the existence of SNSD fans, let's just call it what it is. Nobody cares that much about a rookie debut, the aespa hate was always intensely personal from day one. If Blinks hiding behind IVE Dives like yourself and others didn't want smoke with Mys in the present, you should have said something 2 1/2 years ago when aespa had 2 songs in the top 10, a 1.8m selling album, and a stadium concert but were being called flops. 

:bibliahh: who are they? I didn't know I was already this impactful day 1 

 

 

Unfortunately I'm still here and well so you just gotta have to deal :agaycatabra:

'Local' group IVE did THAT :clap3:

 

IVE is having a very interesting and remarkable start of the year.

Deserved :clap3:

I feel like Fad2Fad will shock us with their debut. Probably will have reverse-aespa moments. K-Netz were gagged when SM introduced aespa members then Black Mamba happened. Meanwhile the Fad2Fad early reactions towards the members were meh, maybe their debut will be great :jonny6:

Do you not see the hypocrisy of moaning about aespa getting hate from 3 years ago while putting forth that same energy to other groups in the present?   

Who is moaning about aespa hate from 3 years ago? It's just pointing out that you guys always act like aespa stans, sm stans, or whatever the term of the day is, are the only ones who have anything to say about other groups. And the dramatics as you guys act like people are saying IVE are the worst group since earths creation and are flopping into oblivion. 
 

All these dramatics because people just said they're not as successful as they used to be and Rebel Heart isn't a smash for getting a PAK when the charts are dead. Majority of their fans in this thread didn't even like Rebel Heart when it was released :rip: 
 

Then the dramatics from you because not everyone liked Jisoo's single? Like, are you 12? Me saying it sounds like an H&M jingle really triggered you that much? To each their own I guess. Keep being hyper sensitive

All those payola couldn't get LOS SER's album into the top 10 IFPI or whatever?!?!?

SM boycotts never work. If their profits go down, they'll just trim all of their female idols and release a new boy group or NCT unit.

SM girl groups historically either peak with their first smash single and then go on a steady decline (S.E.S., M.I.L.K., CSJH The Grace) or they underperform and then go on to become a huge group (SNSD, f(x), Red Velvet, Aespa). Weird how it's always one extreme or the other.

It explains why they kept telling us "dust" was a large part of the comeback.

We defeated GOT and got comebacks for red velvet and aespa. We can get Wendy her justly earned $100m signing bonus.

I just look at all the Lesserafim albums on my shelf and how ugly those albums look together. Is this supposed to be aesthetic? Cause girlll…..

 

Compared to the beautiful design of Gfriend albums 

 

Based on the album preview, Hot will have ugly packaging as well. :deadbanana:
 

I missed cover album with the group photo like all those LOONA albums. Blockberry kinda ate with their album packaging

GD is signed to a Korean label but is using empire for global distribution both physically and digitally.

 

It's not unlike how every HYBE act is distributed by YG Plus. If Jisoo has a deal with them too it's probably a similar scenario.

 

So then what's Warner records doing?

NMIXX debuted at an unfortunate time with a concept that was overly daring and campy, especially as K-pop was transitioning into a new era defined by the NJ formula, girl next door concepts and an overall minimalistic approach in general. If they had debuted just a year earlier, they might have found more success, given aespa's breakout with Next Level around that time. It seems like JYPE wanted to capture some of the success from Next Level and launched a group whose concept heavily borrowed from that song. However, by the time NMIXX debuted which was less than a year later, the concept already felt outdated, leading them to be overshadowed by other rookie girl groups who debuted the same year such as NewJeans, IVE and LE SSERAFIM.

 

Like O.O and Dice would've been way bigger if they were released in 2020-2021 for example

I feel like they should've debuted last year, everyone is copying NJ, so they'd stand out more OO is a mess but dice as a debut single is great. 

 

Aespa smashed as soon as LSM left :gaycat6: I can't imagine drama being about plants

This, though NMIXX concept is also a problem. I see they are pushing that "Utopia/Field" thing again this time, which is a copy paste of KWANGYA/FLAT :ace:

 

So far every NMIXX single has failed to reach Circle digital top 10, their touring is non-existent in 4th gen terms and their sales have been questioned from day 1 (with legitimate suspicions). Their JYP division has been exposed for pulling publicity stunts to promote the group. They are desperate.

 

At every stage, JYP has failed to do anything original/good for these girls. They are also wasting a talent like Lily with these screaming songs and awful concepts.

 

Actually the best thing they did was when they were "JYPn". If they'd stuck to that live band type aesthetic (kinda channelling Wonder Girls) I feel like they would have been so much better off.

 

I just think the music ain't hitting

The whole appeal of v-tubers is the 2d characters itself and not the people behind it so I don't think Plave will be that much affected from their past-life getting exposed :michael:

He apologized 10 years ago, and gave one of the best raps in a nugu k-pop BOP ever, so I forgive him I fear:ryan3:
