I think it's true that (with the exception of FMR), post Queendom, SM seemed to give RV more generic choreographies which don't always show their full strengths.

 

SEULGI is clearly the best dancer by far, followed by IRENE, but all members have a good standard of dancing. More evidence of this is how impressive Wendy looked in GOT The Beat's performances, even though she takes the main vocal role in RV...I think it's definitely more a case of RV's routines sometimes not allowing enough opportunities for the members to really show their range as dancers.

 

I love Joy and Yeri but I do NOT see them being able to pull off what Seulrene and even Wendy can pull off. Maybe at debut….feel like both prefer the singer/songwriter type vibes.

SM (and their stylist) should be embarrassed for having H2H perform in these outfits

H2H's "spicy" image rehaul can't come soon enough.

half the group is 16 and under, so yes, it can indeed come too soon.

Sksksksk.

 

I mainly want SM to step up the quality of music from them. You can be cute and still serve quality. SM doesn't have any Ice Cream Cakes or Russian Roulette's in the vault?

Need SM to handcuff this workaholic diva to a pool chair and a pina colada 

Industry experts in Korea continue to praise and acknowledge Stray Kids' global impact, and how they are one of the biggest Kpop acts of all time 

 

Quote

Jung Jae-pil (session guitarist for BTS, TXT, etc.):
"The fact they continue to tour at large concert halls around the world and  sell out every show  is proof how great of a team Stray Kids is. I think the word 'amazing' doesn't even do them justice."

Quote

Shin Sang-wha, Dream Earth Company (performance planner):
"Stray Kids is a representative global artist who is stronger outside than inside. "Their overseas influence (popularity) is second to BTS."

Quote

Vocal trainer, Jang Hyo-jin:
"In the future, the K-pop world will be divided before and after Stray Kids. Stray Kids is truly the turning point of K-pop."

Quote

Famous composer, Yoon Il-sang who has written countless hit songs: 
"It's a team that has its own originality, stronger than any K-pop idol. It's almost a unique team that doesn't feel like any group at all."

Quote

Professor Kang Joo-won, Hongik University:
They are a team that best fits the description of 'first', not the 'second'. They are no longer just next-generation idols, but peak idols"

Quote

Professor Shin Yeon-ah, Howon University:
"Stray Kids' music is like a comprehensive gift set that the whole world can't help but love, with sounds like rock, hip-hop and electronic that are popular in the US and UK.

Gabriela is the exact kind of basic but good radio friendly pop that GGs have been failing to deliver for years. I'm kinda obsessed

I'm not a fan of their music, but they are talented and have the star factor, so It's good to see their songs are clicking with a lot of people and have so much hype.

I love how everytime industry experts have their take on Stray Kids they always emphasize how unique/original they are as a group; what is true. They have a distintive flavor I can't see anywhere else in K-pop

KIOF were almost there but they're basically over now

Kpop becomes excellent again the second its not pandering to people who are in $3000 of credit card debt for labubus and video game cosmetics. discuss

 

Ate that
