Another source said 2 thai and 2 jp girls but I guess I was wrong

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'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.

And I thought Usher popping up in Atlanta was wild. France's NGG

Will come in handy for kpop cause a lot of songs have great instrumentals but terrible over processed chipmunk vocals

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?

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 .

Does anyone have the numbers for this? I know she's the global kpop MPG but overall this year ? When those men dropped so much solo work?

Now imagine the Saudi one ... considering the issues kpop labels tend to have with .... researching foreign cultures. I have morbid curiosity. 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 ???

No nonono. you're supposed to show tiktoks and tweets of people that never went who say it was terrible because if some half a minute fancams from the beginning of the tour. Do better

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.

Soyeon saying they don't accept made up awards then cut to Idle getting up for "Favorite Female Group"

So now you can win a daesang by basically releasing your discography again and slapping on a few new songs?? Shouldn't the repack rule apply to this ?? Because then I already see labels trying to use this tactic to secure album daesangs and revenue from their older groups instead of repacks now. Next year we're gonna see NCT/SKZ special compilation albums mark my words lmao

The gen talks and the specific use of the pinks in there... How much longer must we pretend that BP are dependent on the 3rd gen being in the spotlight and lump them in like they're going through a career defining decline (or just straight up LIE like OBPHs have) just because South Career is currently obsessed with a bunch of 15yos faces. Let it go.

Exactly! They haven't baited but then chickened out in front of a pride flag (yet)

Jokes aside the homophobic agenda OBPHs tried to pull is very lame. Anyway, Idle has more to lose than them I guess. BP have the rest of the world. Idles strength is domestic and they currently have eyes on them cause members pissed off the koreans about something again. They must want to stay out of negative publicity since they're smashing in SK this year and also most idols are probably told to avoid queer topics cause the companies consider them political and that's a big no. Kpop is just edgy Disney channel that appeals to a wider variety of ages . Other idols have had to come out and say they're not gay for previously expressing support and / or just because their fans joked around on twt or something. Some koreans are very no homo to the point where agencies feel like they *have* to clarify and the responses are always filled with relief and taking offence at the idea of being considered fruity lmao What's funny is they have queerbait elements in their lyrics/concepts I think lmao Red Velvet would never

BBC are cartoon villains level of stupid but they're actually getting away with it because of how messed up the industry is lol They have been exposed now for multiple transgressions and we don't even know if Loona /the staff have gotten their full compensation from previous unpaid work yet. They probably never will. What they did was obviously sabotage and to punish her by ruining her schedules, then fabricate this attitude problem and then finally expel her. This is a sign to all the other members that want to rebel and speak out even probably for basic things like a paycheck to.. well... be quiet and obey. Very sad. Extra difficult because she's a woman, you know some knetz will be jumping to try and "connect the dots' and rationalize this. YG and BBC are too utterly incompetent companies who seem to hate having female talent as their main sources of label income and are determined to mess up and fumble it for the chance of plucking away more cash than they should.

It went viral because the majority will always defend homophobia and queer genocide because they still, in a lot of locations ,consider it a religious and cultural right and those "must be protected". That view is supported from not viewing homosexuality as a natural or human process in the first place, but rather as something 'new" or to the stupidest- "invented" and something they're being forced to adjust to so they begin a passive build up of annoyance. That's why there's so many people making the WC critics out to be the insensitive aggressors while the polite soft spoken Qataris are trying to calmly explain to you why it's a necessity for them to oppress their women, minorities and have slaves. "Everyone is equal and welcome to enjoy, unless you wear a specific colorful shirt that reminds us some of you exist" When it doesn't affect you but the affected voicing their concern ruins your "vibe" , that's all it takes for propaganda to come swooping in to validate your prejudice and suddenly human rights aren't that important since nobody laughs at your homophobic jokes anymore *shakes fist* alphabet mafia ruining everything etc. Also because an important step in dictatorships and religious cults is to very clearly define a minority within their community and vilify them as the enemy to get their primal brains go bzzzz with all the sweet uniting tribalism. We will always be used as a tool to be trampled on by the regimes populations to distract them from how much they're ******* their life over. I don't have much hope for the future esp with the upcoming climate crisis.

The ever-growing monopolies such as Hybe and Kakao etc should be the ones put under a magnifying glass and be wary of but according to the average kpop stan and OBPH the industry standard is still *checks note* YG saying Blackpink are the no1 gg that can sell albums, tour and chart well.

Wait ? What if they retired LSM because they want to chill with Kwangya and that was his vision or whatever right?

They're probably bluffing but if YG don't send a couple of extra guards around Jennie just in case at least to SHOW or pretend they care about her safety .....but then again this is YG who said they can't help Jennie that one time cause they were going through a rough period with their image so they had to lay low as an excuse for not doing anything. Gotta save that money for when they (allegedly) gotta bribe whoever when a male idol or someone from the board messes up again I guess. World is going through inflation after all it's expensive
