The Conservative Party leader tried to issue martial law and use the army to take over the country so they have no opposition at all and then that same party wouldn't impeach him?

What does that have to do with Karina? Was he not immediately impeached?

No he wasn't immediately impeached and it took whipping of votes for it to occur as most of the Conservative Party didn't impeach him. 
 

You're asking what's the issue of someone supporting a Conservative Party and that seems like a pretty big one to Koreans given it's recency.

What do you mean "if?" Here's V wearing red and doing a peace sign before voting in the presidential election in 2017. Where has @Ubermensch criticized your fave for this? Maybe show female idols a little grace the way your fave was shown grace. 

I genuinely wasn't aware of this and I doubt that user was either. He just can't weaponize this now without looking like a hypocrite lol.

 

But as for my thoughts, this really is disappointing if he did vote that way (and he probably did). But at the same time I think there's a difference in him being photographed by other people AT the booth vs. Karina CHOOSING to make that post to all of her millions of followers herself after the party's previous president tried to stage a coup. And miss me with the "showing grace" when I clearly said I don't think she's evil or anything. My point was just that you people would be treating other idols differently than you were treating her.

 

At the end of the day, I also don't claim to be an expert in Korean politics so I admittedly don't have a fully informed opinion on this but from a cursory search the party still held its homophobic views back in 2017 so I AM disappointed in him. All I can do is hope he has grown and changed since then, which I will choose to do.

 

The main difference is that none of YOU GUYS are willing to express the disappointment and move on, and are choosing to pretend like she did nothing wrong.

I don't find it catchy, it's unlistenable garbage that lacks melodies and vocal moments like wdym you have 2 capable singers in the group but you're not utilizing them to save such mid ass song?
 

Also it's pulling 2M daily on Spotify but it's not charting anywhere? s:wan:

idk the song is clearly catching on because people find it fun. its a pretty good track. campy nonsense. not very different from an aespa song like pink hoodie (boring) imo.

You not liking something doesn't make it a fraud though. It's been all over social media, it's successfully caught on. No shade but other groups can't say that.

I guess good for Hybe investing for Katseye, they no longer have a girl group that can generate hype after NJ

Pink Hoodie was actually my first thought too when I first heard Gnarly and they sound like they could be on the same album. So I don't really get why some MYs in here hate it so much :skull: I didn't mention it earlier though, because Gnarly was getting dragged here at first and I didn't want to get jumped by MYs :dancehall:

I just think the song is pretty boring and too NCT adjacent for aespa. Kill It is like that too but more vocally interesting so it makes up for it. Pink Hoodie is fine, but Gnarly is a lot more catchy. I'm a vocal MY and said Gnarly was pretty good the second Gnarly came

Outside of their title tracks, I like this genre of aespa the most, and I feel like its so underrated.

Ningning is getting dragged now :monkey: Mind you she can't even vote

 

Karina worst leader, We want Ningning solo with a R&B concept

 

 

 

 

I warned y'all that all the musty blinks were only token stanning last year because they were undraggable. Suddenly every username that used to say disgusting things about aespa members has a personal interest in and is an expert on Korean politics. If I had a dollar for every time I was either bullied for or was labelled a bully for my accurate predictions...:suburban:

I'm really not liking the direction of the  new Katseye era after that Anitta demo leak. The "Beautiful Chaos" concept just to tie together the different genres just feels like what Lisa tried to do with Alter Ego.

 

Gnarly...I just can't get over the "Making beats for a boring dumb B" line. I know it's supposed to be a demo, they really changed nothing about the demo so it just comes off as Katseye being the boring dumb Bs that the original producer was mocking.

I think this part is really camp because we know idols hate the music they're forced to perform a lot of the time. :dies:
