These are proper singles

It's always funny to me when people call things b-sides after getting music videos, weeks of promo, months of TikTok challenges, etc. 

 

Like those are fully fledged singles

In K-pop, technically anything that isn't a title track is a B-side. A song can be a single and still be a B-side there.

 

It's just different in Western culture but we still consider promo singles to be B-sides here.

Another one thank you

 

Not up on my makeup game, apparently this brand is based on the "classics of literature" and has product lines like "Madame Butterfly" and "Peter & Wendy."  This free publicity actually works for them!

This is a protocol left over from when the Gfriends would sneak across the street to use Bighit's bathrooms because they were nicer.  They ruined it for everyone!

 

'Nicer', when SinB clocked it saying the girls would come to Big Hit to eat and go to the bathroom because Source Music didn't provide meals for trainees and didn't have a bathroom at all until around GFRIEND debut. (SinB was a Big Hit trainee who transferred to Source Music).

Except 

Blue Flame

Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard's wife

Smart

Were literal promotional follow up single (yes it's actually very real in a Kpop Terms, so it does count as a single not a B-SIDE).
Blue Flame MV was scrapped because of Garam scandal.

 

I will take it as a STARSHIP way:

 

This was Monsta X Song Title

 

But this was the follow up single of the same album

I understand that K-pop has digital singles, English singles, etc. But a title track is the true equivalent of a single in Western culture so anything that isn't a title track can be argued to be a B-side. 
 

Title tracks are the K-pop equivalents of singles and digital singles/pre-releases are basically the equivalent of promo singles.

I have faith that Handlebars will grow. If she had released it instead of that awful Love Hangover song, her album debut would have been so much bigger. She really stopped her own bag there.

I wish their spoken word intros would be a bit shorter and then lead into a song. This could have been a gag.

Finally. She has some of the most underappreciated visuals in K-pop. And add a stunning voice and incredible modeling talent on top of that. I don't know why she isn't more popular.

Oh RBW hates them

EXID IS BACK  

 

I didn't even recognize Hani I had to watch this twice lol

 

When are we going to get an actual comeback with promo 

I'm annoyed when this happens, so I'll give you a heads up that Inkigayo will be live at around 1:15PM KST.  Or as we used call it, Simply Inkigayo time.

• Inki.EP1260: Kim jihyun, SAY MY NAME, ILLIT, KiiiKiii, Hearts2Hearts, LE SSERAFIM, YEJI(ITZY), SEULGI, TREASURE, 8TURN, ONEWE, SF9, JEONG DONG WON, HxW(SEVENTEEN)

Speaking of which, Simply K-pop is finally coming back tomorrow after a 4 month hiatus, but the live show is not streaming on Arirang's default kpop channel.  Instead it's on something called "Koreanet" which is more focused on tourism propaganda.

 

 

So, now you know what you're not watching.

 

What happened to NPOP? Are they monthly now?

All of Blackpink back in Korea, YG probably sent them straight to the studio and locked the doors to the building

What studio, you'll see and hear those songs from the same session than THE ALBUM, exactly what they gave the world for Born Pink. And you'll act as if it was fresh out the oven.

 

 

 

I mean even GD is giving us that...

 

Home Sweet Home was a BIGBANG song, even had a T.O.P verse originally to tell you how old it is.

 

 

Now I need GD to leak it and take [Redacted] vocals out, cause I know he was on it, since it was for Still Life.

Farts2Farts and Kiikii are still promoting???

 

G-Drag getting off fully free and becoming ~the king of k-pop~ after getting caught with weed back in the day but T.O.P being fully crucified for it and the Korean public continuously attempting to destroy his career for it in the big year of 2025...

 

it's kinda weird huh, I wonder how they pick and choose when to dig in on the hate and when to get over it
