This is their best era ever. Likeeee you girlies aren't ready.

 

Imagine if they deliver another "Fever" or "Drunk-Dazed"…

I think the director watched this flop and assumed nobody else did.

 

 

It looks great!

Off topic but I saw the trailer for this back when it came out and was intrigued. Was it any good?

It's just okay. It's only 90 min but still feels sluggish and too long, because you kind of know what the film's doing within a few minutes, and it doesn't deviate from the only path it has. It's very vibey and nostalgic, so it's interesting in that respect, but it's mostly forgettable and doesn't really bring anything new to the table, aside from some solid performances.

 

So, in conclusion, skip it and stan Enhypen's new video instead!

They're really coming this time.

 

i wonder how big the apple music user base is in korea because HANDS UP is #5 on apple music and its charts is usually a good representation of what's popular

 

HANDS UP is also charting high on youtube music and it's the most used platform in korea…

 

i'm seeing a LOT of people using apple music and i'm using it with many of my friends… i wish apple gave the official numbers but we can't even know because it's a built in app with the iphone 

 

spotify has a rapidly growing user base and its charts is still unhinged 

 

either way it's a HIT

It's pretty stable on Spotify as well! TBL finally promoting them with a ton of schedules is doing them good. They've been visiting every building doing Tiktoks and releasing content every day.

RV haven't had a good title song since the pandemic, there's a reason why they were shut out of the Japanese market.

Cosmic was literally one of the best releases of last year.

i wish Red Velvet('s label) had the resources to put their physicals in US stores like Twice, NCT, BTS, Blackpink, etc id splurge an entire paycheck on RV albums if Target had them in stock

They did. Red Velvet had excellent distribution for Feel My Rhythm and Birthday. SM got bought by Kakao and had to switch their distributor to Dreamus before Chill Kill and they are awful. It's the same team who does IVE's releases which makes them so hard to find in the West.

 

You can literally see the devastating effect that Dreamus had on SM's sales:

Birthday - 995,090

Chill Kill - 613,776

 

My WORLD - 2,162,162

Drama - 1,385,537

Actually, SuperM was born out of Capitol approaching SM about signing Red Velvet. SM offered them the twink scraps(plus bacon and taemin) instead because they were too short sighted and thought the only way to break in this market was to copy BTS.

 

They had no interest in pushing RV here unfortunately and kept them from a chance at competing with their 3rd gen peers in the west. I think some of their recent releases have got distribution here but it's too little too late, they could have been big stars. 

Dreamus is too late on shipping new albums and they charge way too much compared to other labels. On top of that, they don't release unique versions here and instead will do something like store exclusive versions. Like look at Whiplash - every "exclusive" was so ******* similar that it was almost offensive.

 

gnarly is ksoty so far i'm afraid

i can't get lara and yoonchae's verse out of my head

How tf did Woo!Ah!'s company get the budget for this stage it's one of the most gorgeous background stages for a music show I've seen in a long time 

 

 

It's not the same company anymore.  No one has to sell a car or an apartment to fund a comeback now.

a single 

watch that single is going to be an engrish song

 

we're going to wait for few more months before we get a mini then another 84 years  for their 2nd full album

 

SM is a mess

 

 

I know it's not k-pop but since it's a 88rising release i'll post it here, such a solid debut
