Butters

Now how is A2O almost top 10 on Apple Music Global. There's no way

JESUS WAS SEEN maybe there is hope for a reunion

Finally saw LE SSERAFIM in Newark last night. I haven't been following kpop as much as I used to and honestly didn't expect myself to get as hyped as I did. They were so present and interactive with the audience. Our seats were kinda far up but I was jumping up and down like an idiot whenever one of the members would scan over our section. And was thorough impressed by the live vocals dancing and energy through the whole night. Not too many intermissions or vcr stuff, it was a pretty tight set. There were more kids at the show than I expected, I think IBM brought in a lot of the KATSEYE stans Anyways I love LE SSERAFIM I will always be a fan

looking like a The Fact Music Awards lineup

not you pretending LSF Coachella wasnt like the best few weeks of your life

omg they botched Hyein's LV brand deal! someone go alert the Hague

le sserafim never really had brand deals like that even before newjeans. im glad we're finally establishing that "hybe connections" and "hybe privilege" isn't really a thing, though. if anything hybe is a scarlet letter.

the concept of Sophia being a snitch for HYBE

I wouldn't be so certain

The techbro above is currently being destroyed for this take, but really imagine listening to music by swiping through an algorithm full of melodies that doesn't exist before it reaches your phone, sounds personally tailored to your taste, indistinguishable to the ear from something human-made. Would it ever be accepted by the public? Do you think you would ever want to consume music this way? On one hand, music to me and others is an extremely communal experience. It's meant to be shared, and discussed, and enjoyed collectively - we care about the singer, the human who created that music, how they perform it, how they connect to the world and to us. It's why this site even exists. I don't think there's any way that AI could replace that experience. On the other hand, I probably would've responded similarly to the concept of TikTok/consuming algorithmic media a decade ago. I'm concerned about how far this tech will advance a year down the line. What will you be doing to combat the coming AI revolution era in music? some additional food for thought.

I saw her night 1 at barclays last week maybe my favorite concert ever. top 3 for sure. actually started levitating during lost weekend when the strobe lights started going off at the outro. so special.

genuinely what happened

many kpop stans conflated the brashness of the synths (not easy listening) and taglines (i'm your bias! its me!) with brainrot/lazy songwriting- its actually a well made pop song that doesnt really feel out of character for ILLITs brand and its success speaks for itself. never deserved to be lumped in with the likes of hooti frutti and boompala..

the biggest kpop gg song of the year i fear

LSF released ONE (1) boompala and ******* swear that kinda music is the only kind they put out

dont clock ktrl's tea like that

I always forget 95% of kpop fans in the real world like both groups and aren't invested in these corpo turf wars

I just remembered this week that her song Sober existed. I would have been sad to remove it from my Liked Songs if i had ever had it added in the first place

Sawadika is a bop but the repeated flexing riches and fame act turns me off from the idea of Lisa, the solo breakout popstar when we can all tell the song was generated in a lab specifically for her. the audience expects more than just bops and looks from female popstars in 2026. They want substance, vision, authenticity (at least the illusion of it). popstar inflation is real. New Woman was the closest Lisa got to something on a higher plane imo- there was something there, in that sleekness and feminine intrigue. she needs to keep chasing that

rose the only pinkster with a vision. the others need to pack it up

captures the essence of le sserafim. at least what I think their concept should be

those bored gooners and incels are buying up OverwatchXLE SSERAFIM "MADE MY NIGHT" exclusive emotes and skins which will pad Blizzard and Source Music's profits which will then get funneled into gen AI training for Pureflow part 2 and SoumuNGG... actually you know what

so theres this (once) massively successful cross kpop/video game industry collab

NFR is finally on sale on Amazon omg I've been waiting for literally 2 years
