I just realized only 3/7 of the group are korean... doesn't matter to me obviously but when it comes to securing the domestic market especially after they're coming last with a strong line up of competitors and NewJennie's living out the strongest debut amongst ggs since Blackpink themselves...... good luck. They're gonna need a miracle song basically.

Well.... Super Junior is still the worst kpop group name in existence, if that makes it better for Baemon.... . The only thing that made me gag in that video is YHS face -and it was literally. It was literally just grabbing whoever was willing in YG and say go and say some kind stuff. I don't doubt Jenlisa and the pinks in general want to give them what they never experienced- kind and supportive female seniors during their rookie era, but aside from Lisa saying she gave tips and hung out with Priya, everything still feels scripted to me. Like get in the studio and dance around a bit with them for the teaser rollout. But they will probably have a full skill showcase rollout in Jan since this was so yawn. I will judge then. And poor girls, knetz already dragging them because YHS couldn't curb his main character syndrome. That mean "cleared" his charges and then immediately went to dropping the gg. They will do well as long as he goes into hiding again, and they have like, half of Jenlisa's presence and 3rd of BPs overall star power/charisma tho. BP(specifically Lalegend) smacking you in the face with their dance practice while BJs were waving around torches and pitchforks was so iconic tho.

No Baby Monster is just another name for Blackpink before the girls rejected it because it was corny like along with Magnum. It's basically just the duality concept but switched Baby Monster instead of Black Pink, sweet/cool. I do believe they will do rnb since watered down y2k is the vibe now, thank you NewJennies. Check the nameplate. I'm excited to see the old eldritch villain (YHS) struggle against the new sus machiavellian mastermind (MHJ) in January. Let's see if the old bog beast still has it in him, for girl groups at least, we saw the ordeal with Treasure already...... Also Lisa is apparently close with and mentoring the thai trainee, so we are excited for mother Lalisa's progeny.

Elon Musk gets booed for 10 minutes at Dave Chappelle show
Elon's right wing tech yes man bubble on the internet and Dave's transphobia fueling his career and relevancy obviously made them brave and deluded. This won't teach them anything or have much impact on their careers, but at least it's fun to listen to the boos for a bit . Especially when you know Elon is cripplingly insecure and this will stay with him for a bit, or perhaps fuel his resolve to help Thiel enslave the world in an Orwellian nightmare sooner so anyone who laughs at him will be sent to jail by Big Brother.

New Apple Music update lets you disable vocals in songs
Will come in handy for kpop cause a lot of songs have great instrumentals but terrible over processed chipmunk vocals

Kanye: "I see good things about Hitler"
Yea he's always been an edgy narcissist, but that's normal in the industry. I never thought I'd see someone like him, a music genius back in the day now mentally eroded, what's left of his credibility and clout just being used by the conservatives and far right like a condom. And there's no one left to help him because he's burned all the bridges and the only people who want to be around him are n*zis who will leave him for dead if they ever gain power. Now he's with hundreds of millions in debt conspiracy crackhead Al*x J*nes and a 4ch*n n*zi troll (+ closeted catboy chaser) while also being abhorrently racist and homophobic... I pity his children the most. They're old enough to understand what's happening to him or at least North is .... I think? Idk that kid is on tiktok so she's using the internet. How much longer is this clown gonna be humored and excused???? Do we gotta wait till he puts on some SS regalia for a Fenty show or wears the full hugo boss uniform fit for a VMA or whoever is gonna take him on for controversy and clout?

Actors in gay show going to film festival in Saudi Arabia
They're not gay and probably settled the no homo before hand since they got invited and will prob have security to avoid misunderstanding considering the show they do. But most bl actors are not only straight but homophobic too so this is just smoke and mirrors. SA probably want some quick pr by saying look we're allowing these straight men who are gay for pay to walk on our holy lands unpunished we're better than Qatar .

It's gonna get scrapped like NCT Hollywood tho I bet No oppa isn't against human rights he's just in his first life it's his culture !!!!11!! Also who asked for more superM??? Has the BTS hiatus and orchestrated sabotage by the blackpink stanning spotify heads according to armys underperformance in their solo singles this year re-ignited that old jopping flame in LSM ???

The scamming has gone too far that after the ready to tank situation and Born Pink era overall. I fully believe Jennie's comeback will just be the official release of Me and You even tho it would be out for a long time by then (like RFL). Shut Down MV was absolutely a last minute tax write off (that the girls were forced to film 4 days without sleeping since they had other work, no wonder Lisa was off for me for the first time in her solo MV scenes , ever. ) They shamelessly said it was never before done and revolutionary- ended up being recycled sets they hoped would smear the rushed blandness with nostalgia. The way they sold the album and era vs how it turned out to me was the last straw of that labels snake oil salesman audacity. No amount of love for the girls was enough to brainwash me to eat YGs mess up lol Blackpink are in a dead-end label when it comes to female idols esp creatives. The girls are VERY lucky they managed to build such a powerful social media and influencer portfolio to keep them relevant aside from their fanbase that continues to exist despite YGs best effort to just snatch every coin out of us without re-nourishing the fandom with content and excitement. But if YG fits in with their desired lifestyle as a celebrity and idol, then even better for them. But the fandom knows they're not happy with their music strategy lol It's like YG signs female artists only because everyone else is doing it, and not because they have an interest in actually developing any female talent and see value in female creativity.

They're retired already in most peoples minds after this tour so if they end up announcing another era in 2023/2024 it's gonna be a gag no matter how much the 4th gen girls have advanced by then. Maybe papa ratgee has realized they won't be independent from BP anytime soon even if Baemon and their rumored group power of 10 Jennies () go after NewJennie wigs right away. Or they just had 2 extra spots and didn't know how to fill it up LMAO I remember when the Square project had to have 4 releases which ended up in a debut album that never happened. But these types of visual marketing rarely have unplanned/random elements, at least it's all *supposed* to mean something, cause they know stans analyze everything. Also I just realized BP are the only YG kpop group that never lost a member and/or suffered decline (yet), instead they keep getting more profitable and they're on their 7th year . Karma just keeps sending that trash label signals, but there's nobody to see them.
