Fifty Fifty making a comeback?  In like 7 days?

 

In commemoration of Fifty Fifty releasing something called "Perfect Crime," ablume should release their album of "Cupid (Twin Ver.)" re-recordings simultaneously.

plave aren't AI dlkjdslkfjdsklf they're virtual idols. like virtual youtubers / streamers. they're actual people behind avatars. they sing, dance(?) etc but behind an avatar to maintain anonymity. virtual youtubers are very popular in asia and somewhat in the west too actually

naevis is actually very good friends with the server farm where Jennifer gets most of her streams, they probably see each other so often that it wasn't worthy of a photo op :fan:

@kendoll2001 Have you watched this video? I love how it breaks down some of the creative process and also puts into perspective how Seventeen is so famous yet so underrated as a group. It made me fall in love with them all over again tbh :heart2:

 

No I haven't seen this! Thank you @Witnessed ET  As we always say — no matter how much people try to diminish or erase Seventeen's success and impact, their natural and effortless TALENT will always prevail and speak for itself :heart2: great watch 

AHHHH FINALLY I WON

They were not lipsyncing. Their mics were clearly on (you could hear their breathing and outfits moving etc, WINTER's mic was even switched on way too early).

 

However, they did have a (very) loud backing track over their live vocals in this performance. There were definitely other performances on the night which sounded less live than aespa's did.

rosé's "rosie" is the 5th best selling female album of 2024 (9th overall)

 

jennie's "ruby" being the 4th best selling album of 2025

they were singing live above a (loud) backing track

 

idk why but kpop performances always look so empty to me... like the stage is so empty for some reasons... aespa did great though

i need to get into jennie fr because her performances are so well produced and i heard good things about her album

 

her main pop girl potential :jonny: she needs to end my fave IU in korea

 

edit: not me getting an IU ad right after a video of a jennie performance on youtube :skull: also i remembered how i randomly saw jennie up close at an event... last june and she was so stunning :jonny5:

SM Staff... :matty: 

The list is long of the number of stuff the staff has blocked or banned any artist to do.

The performance was alright, but it was obvious they were lip-syncing and lacked energy. If they're going to lip-sync, they should at least have better stage presence.

 

Aespa aren't natural performers, and that's okay, but if they actually sang live, it could help cover up the areas where they struggle with dancing and stage presence.

 

Groups like IVE are in a similar situation as Aespa, with both groups not being strong dancers. However, IVE has managed to cover up their weaknesses and connect with audiences by singing live. Aespa could do the same if SM allowed them to perform live more often, as their biggest strength is their vocals. Their choreography isn't that difficult either, so it's unclear why SM doesn't let them sing live more.
