So someone on the last thread mentioned Taeyeon's departure from SM
>>357806 and I found this
>And whilst I don't know how true it is but I have heard in the past about Taeyeon & Yoona having different contract terms and lengths that were signed back in 2014.. Apparently in those 2014 renewals whilst the other members of SNSD signed on for an additional 3 years to 2017. Taeyeon & Yoona's ran for an extra 2 years, putting them both into 2019. We're now in 2019 and whilst it seems that Yoona has renewed her contract. Taeyeon has held out on doing. That is if it is true that they both signed 5 year contracts in 2014.I wonder how and why both of them have different contract lengths than the rest of SNSD?

>>363068>>363070As much as I don't like Somi, I'm still worried that if she goes solo she might still have a chance. Just look at Sunmmi, she's not a good singer but she has the looks and lucked out with 3 good songs in a row.
I hope she falls by the wayside like Yubin

So sunmi used to look like this before she became a walking skeleton
No. 363093
>>363075Yeah they're trying too hard to go for the 2NE1 image and failing, because honestly JYP isn't good at making "badass" girl groups - WG and Miss A didn't have the "luxury swag" concept.
That said if they're real competition to Black Pink I'm all for them because they've been robbing an empty house with their "girl crush" image and I'd like to see blinks get salty when the inevitable fan exodus occurs
No. 363094
>>363065I don't doubt that Taeyeon and Yoona got better contracts, but I think Taeyeon at least signed a 2-year contract in 2017 and that was probably under immense pressure. I was expecting her not to renew after the Jakarta airport incident where SM let her face crowds with just one guard, but I guess SM's blackmailing worked.
They're not above using emotional manipulation to get people to sign contracts.

>>363105I don't understand why she stayed. She talked about being confused when WG disbanded and I guess that plays a big part. But the other girls were right to leave, I guess Sunmi and YeEun already had their solo debuts under JYP and knew how much he stifled their creativity and potential. Yubin is probably only now realizing that pretty much any label would treat her better than this. Anyways, she renewed two years ago so hopefully, her contract isn't much longer.
On a related note, there's been reports about Sunye singing with a label and returning to Korea to make music. Way back in the day, Sunye was actually my first bia in the group but then she chose to become a missionary and a mother/wife over her group before her contract was even up… and now that everyone else has gone solo she wants a piece of the action? She has a life in Canada with 3 kids and has denounced fame before. I don't understand.

It just goes to show that people here hate the ps culture from kpop idols but you then give them enough fuel to feel like they need it, and then make fun of them even more. It's digusting. First threads were definitely a lot better before you jealous bitches came to nitpick on every female idol under the sun.

Didn't care much for the "home" move they do with their arms during it lol kind of too literal.
Just to add to the critical before anons foam at the mouth, I really don't like the berets idols are using lately. It's just too anime bishounen for me.

>>363152Nice try Suju stan, but 20-something Leeteuk hitting on 14-year old Yoona and Krystal is not just SJWs being loud, it's creepy no matter how you try to spin it.
If it was, say, Heechul grabbing Irene's waist it'd clearly be a case of RV stans overreacting, but since Leeteuk is always fucking creepy it's natural to be suspicious of whether Irene allowed him to touch her or not. It's not a vendetta against old people, it's a vendetta against creeps.

Age gaps are not considered controversial in Korea and a grown man “waiting” to marry a girl once she’s legal is commonly accepted. It’s just like when western fans act appalled by sexist behaviour even though variety show hosts will literally hit female idols on their heads repeatedly during broadcasts both in Korea and Japan.

I have not seen a single person in this thread say that was ok nor did I make any attempt to imply that (it’s not acceptable under any circumstance wtf). That post was critical of the social behaviour demonstrated on public broadcasts, it’s literally backing up your point of culturally accepted sexism being an issue in South Korea, hence why some anons are concerned about certain men and the repercussions on the women around them.
Critical discussions don’t always require oversimplified complaints like:
>muh men are fucking creeps gross>korean idols r disgusting Sometimes you can just add to the conversation as an extension of a topic. Same reason I’ve seen other anons bring up that show where callers ask for advice on personal issues and unfortunately the guests often spew toxic bullshit at them instead of being any sort of real help, because it’s a symptom of a wider problem in Korea.

>>363215Why are you so paranoid. I only ever stanned girl groups and that was many years ago (probably gave myself away with that WG clip from 10 years ago).
>>363216Yeah most posts are either about (1) a specific member of x group being "ugly" (usually they look fine or it's a purposely unflattering shot), which begs the question why one would care so much about a random idol's facial features if not because they're invested either as fans or "antis" (forgive the term but you know what I mean)
(2) x idol is gay, lesbian, hates the opposite sex, or is autistic around the opposite sex, or is stupid for being caught dating or choosing to publicly date
If you deviate from calling out specific idols for any of these reasons then it's totally off topic, don't bother discussing the wider issues of plastic surgery in SK just laugh at how every female idol has the same face over and over again, don't point out any systemic problems within the entertainment industy because anon only wants to bitch about x company or x group, any comparisons are off topic.

Honestly that show is just hard to watch in general, they make light of some actually serious topics instead of helping, and the hosts sometimes sympathise with or play devil's advocate for some really questionable people. I remember seeing one clip on YouTube of a son who says he doesn't think his dad loves him, with his dad fully admitting to prefer one child over another. It just feels so wrong seeing real problems made into light "entertainment"

>>363269Oh my god as someone who also had an abusive father this made me feel fucking sick. That fucker literally openly told them what he's done but even if he didn't everything about how he and his son acts screams red flag as well. How the fuck do you talk about this on a national program? He is so obviously abusive, said what he's done himself and this is how these so-called counsellors react? That child couldn't even talk or look at people and said that he hates it and they can't even see how fucked up it is? I really hope some Korean lawyer in their mind sues them and an actual therapist helps the boy
I remember seeing some other clips from the show, there was another teenage girl who talked about how she was getting beaten by her father and literally no one took it seriously, it was edited with these dumb texts and effects Korean shows use. What the fuck is wrong with this show? I understand making a lighthearted show with people who have basic dumb problems but seeing domestic abuse victims and people with mental illnesses treated like this is just disgusting. It's sickening that domestic abuse towards kids seems so normalized

Plus the hosts are disapproving of everything. So it is not as bad as it first looks (and they even introduce a member of government or something from Singapore who disapproves too.
This guy is super abusive, even making her clean while heavily pregnant, every thing he does is awful. Sexually harassing and groping her and even his own mother. Someone needs to beat some sense into him. The "kissing" his son while he is held down for 10 minutes is mighty concerning. It is ok because "they are mine". Like wife and child are toys to do whatever he wants with.

Whenever I scroll past that OP, I keep thinking that if they were non-korean celebrities everybody would have written them off as druggies already (which they likely are). But because they're precious k-dols they're so "woke, yas, slay, queen&king, couple goals,…".
Same with
>>363294Even if a let's say american celebrity would be a decade younger than Chanyeol people would already say he's either a pussy or rude/entitled for making a fuss about something so minor.
In the twitter thread of that hello counselor pedo scandal the top tweets are all saying "it's not a cultural thing". Yes it is! Why is it so difficult to grasp that Korea is a less than ideal country, that there are many bad koreans and that nobody does shit about that?! Parents beating their children, husbands/bfs beating their female partners, kids commiting suicide en masse either because of academic pressure or unimaginable bullying (not just namecalling, they're literally trying to beat classmates to death) has been rampant for decades already, and yet society always turns a blind eye to these issues. They don't give a fuck about their own people, and even less about some dirty foreign k-drama or music fans. But try explaining to a kboo that their Oppas are not innocent and soft and so much more gentle than the boys in their countries. "Koreans are kind, they respect elders and help each other!"…
Making fun of idols and their orbiters kind of stopped being funny; it's just sad.

American solo singing career for herself.
Am I the only one who has realized that the GP doesn't even respect the so-called 'legendary' SNSD anymore. All of this time, I thought they were 'legendary' to the public for songs like Gee, Oh!, RDR, Genie, etc, but I guess the recent comments towards SNSD members in their solo ventures reflect the attitudes towards girl group members after their time is up. They're no longer the "Nation's Little Sisters" or whatever gross peso shit they can come up with to infantilize them. The only member who gets positive comments is Yoona but she's nowhere near the level of fame in the public eye that people (Sones) thought she'd have years ago.
And I apologize if this is all irrelevant, but girl groups truly have the shortest shelf-life, no matter how fans try to make excuses, "Oh, they're still popular!" AOA has fucking tanked since Heart Attack, EXID kinda died after Ah Yeah, Girl's Day was popular for like a year maybe. It's basically a known fact at this point that being an idol is just being a puppet for years and then being left with no education (except if you "study" Acting or Music at some "university" like they all do kek). BP and Twice fans act as if they've surpassed 2NE1 or SNSD, which were far more influential in their time, and yet 2NE1 and SNSD don't have the longevity of solo careers afterward. Twice already has that same pedo-bait image, and once a scandal breaks out, or when they've gotten too old, they're done for, unless they somehow pull an APink and keep trudging on, but idk. Seems like 3rd Gen Kpop fans don't realize that this is gonna be their idol's reality soon.

They likely won't make much money from songs alone. The only real way to make any money is through CF deals, album sales, and concerts - all of which only artists with a fandom get to have.
I doubt Hyuna's druggie image is landing her any CF deals and she was never a beauty like Sulli (who continues to land deals on her looks alone) and her last song barely charted. I don't want her to fail but let's be realistic, her time in the spotlight is almost over.

>>363424Yeah. Starting with ICC Dr. Kim really did a number on her face. I'm guessing they were trying to lean into this "rich foreign exchange student" aura she was assigned to. The plastic surgery wasn't as obvious as it is now because of the bleached hair and overall styling (and because it was fresh) but the problem with these extreme procedures such as a jaw shave is that it requires constant maintaining which ups the risk of fucking up.
Not to armchair too much but with her fluctuating weight and plastic surgery girl seems to be very insecure. Shame because I really liked her kind look she had when she first debuted and she's undoubtedly one of the best vocalists of her generation.

>>363465The staff of Seungri's club Burning Sun are being accused of sexual assault. A video that was uploaded in late December last year has come to surface. The video is of a guard at Burning Sun dragging a struggling woman, which the video explains has been drugged by the guard and is being dragged to the VIP room. The woman can be seen trying to get help by grabbing the computer, but the staff does nothing but put the computer back.
The woman tried to report the sexual assault to the police, but the police did nothing, and Burning Sun deleted the CCTV record. The video was taken by a Burning Sun staff member before the video was deleted, and the video has been passed through many hands. Burning Sun is accused of having paid the police a large sum of money to keep things quiet and to not investigate Burning Sun. Reportedly, this kind of sexual assault happens at least twice a day at Burning Sun. There is another video where the police has admitted to violence happening at Burning Sun.

26 yo (or 27?) Jin can't either - poor dude, he probably is depressed now.
Some freshly turned skinny 18 yo american, who got fake tits and posts lewds - disgusting slut lol.
20-something yo old female idol, showing her panties on stage - omg, her company forces her to do sexy concepts, she's clearly uncomfortable! They completely destroyed her self esteem, she even got plastic surgery… Does she have an ED too??
And not just their stans, people here do exactly the same.
American artists are also told to get ps, to lose weight, to be sexier etc by their companies - every preteen knows that the show business is hard, so why do you feel sorry for kids from wealthy families, who're greedy for even more money and fame?

Not saying his personality isn't fabricated, just that it appears more real than other idols. He's also humble, hardworking, a good dancer. He's handsome in that he's quite masculine and fits the Korean standards quite well, he seems soft faced at first but his looks start to grow on you. He's just a really nice, cute boy really. Silly, humble, goofy, mischievous, fun. He reminds me a lot of Chanyeol in those ways who's also a very popular idol domestically.

One second their oppar is a poor overworked slave, the next he's being sabotaged by his company and not getting enough work. Their oppar doesn't get paid enough but the company also isn't spending enough on their MVs. And so on and so forth. Most fans dont understand the role of management companies, they dont understand the contracts, and they sure as fuck dont know what's best for idols. They automatically believe any bad thing they hear without fact checking (all kpop fans thing there's a 90:10 split in SM's favour, for example, despite public documents proving otherwise), and all logic goes out the window when they think their fav is suffering.

Imagine being in your 20s (most managers and stylists are very young and ridiculously underpaid) and having to care for a dozen wo/menchildren. When idols only get to sleep 3 hours per day and some of that time is spent sleeping in the car - while the manager is driving, just imagine how little rest they get. They have to get up earlier than the idols themselves, have to make sure that they all get up and ready (god knows how many idols drink or take drugs), they get blamed if they're late, they're either hated for not protecting oppa/unnie enough - or for being too rough with fans. And all this without getting the money, fame and love from fans that idols receive as compensation for their troubles.
You constantly hear fans call for getting stylists etc fired because they don't like what their darlings "are forced" to wear (as if the idols themselves know how to Dress better… see Hyuna) and so on. I don't believe one second that idols are as innocent as they try to present themselves as. If they bully each other, just imagine how badly they treat their staff.

>>The gossip magazine alleges that the pictures came from a woman who spent the night with him, with the woman purporting that Seungri had a habit of choking her and being violent during sexual intercourse.The magazine also quoted the woman as saying, “He ejaculated on my chest and just threw me a towel and didn’t even wipe [the semen]. He didn’t even kiss at all [during intercourse].”
So far, YG Entertainment has not spoken about the matter nor has a confirmation been made the person in the pictures is Seungri but many netizens are saying the pictures are unmistakably the Big Bang member.
Netizens have also been divided in thoughts and opinion over the matter with some saying the story sounds fabricated and fluffed, especially since it comes from a gossip magazine, while others are alleging the article was made to purposely try and bring the singer down.

the only difference is koreans arent SUPPOSED to earn money or film something sexual in nature to distribute, but more and more koreans are breaking those laws so it will be interesting to see where it leads and if stricter laws actually get enforced but im not holding out hope tbh

>>367117Thing is anon, everyone and their mother know by now how shitty idol agencies are. And they're not going to change anytime soon, because they've been making lots of money off these shady business practices.
Everyone calls out bad agencies all the fucking time. Amber did the exact same thing last year, Key called out SM for showing extra favouritism to Taemin and Onew, Taeyeon regularly shits on SM whenever she gets a chance. She's not the first SM idol to call out her agency and won't be the last. Despite all this complaining, SM will not do jack shit because their business practices aren't even out of line by Korean standards.
I think Luna is stupid for staying with an agency that she's so unhappy with. If she hates SM so much she shouldn't have renewed her contract two years ago.

No. 367123
>>367121Mte, lots of smaller agencies would sign her on but she wants the power and prestige of the SM name behind her.
If she wants the SM backing, she's got to accept whatever conditions they have - many agencies wouldn't even offer failing artists a renewal contract, and I'm not just talking Kpop here. Hollywood actors get dropped by their agencies all the time if they're not booking gigs. Luna had the choice to walk away and find another agency like the three SNSD girls did, but she didn't.

No. 367191
>>367173I don't think she is a hypocrite either. The industry has a way of tearing people down who aren't perfect visuals. Some people can take it but some can't. Look at Jimin and how he looks like a wax figure of Chaz Bono now. Or Uee chopping up her face and body because she thought she'd make for a better 'actress'. The industry has a way of chewing you up and spitting you out. Not to mention SM probably told Luna she was ugly, fat and useless every damn day. This is the same company that used to beat TVXQ and most likely starved their female (and male idols).
Luna probably just didn't have the support circle she needed to withstand being in the same group as Krystal and Sulli. Even Jihyo probably has it better because it's not like the other members of twice are that much prettier than her and hell some of them aren't even as pretty. Plus she gets the cheerleader effect. But f(x) was always known as the group with three of the best visuals in kpop. It's not like you're a Hyoyeon in a group with Sunny, Tiffany etc. I'm not surprised she went off the rails. Not to mention SM PR goes out of its way to make their idols feel like you're nothing without them and then reinforce that by picking and choosing who gets work while the group is still popular (thus setting certain people up for future success and stunting others). It's a messed up world and I don't blame Luna for what's happened.

>>367173SM doesnt block idols who finish their contracts and leave. The Shinhwa members, chaos with their group name notwithstanding, still appear on TV to promote. Seohyun and sooyoung aren't prevented from promoting either.
While I do feel for Luna as a person, the cold hard truth is that she's just not selling and she's not that marketable. SM is a business and at the end of the day they will want to focus on more profitable acts to promote.
I agree that SM hasn't given her the promotion she deserves, but SM hasn't given most of its artists promotion. She's not alone in that aspect and it's not the responsibility of the general public to purchase her music out of pity for her situation.
I just think it's unprofessional to publicly whine about her situation when she decided to renew her contract despite knowing how badly SM promotes her. If Luna wants better promotion and more control over her content, she should not be under a label whose first priority is idol groups.
I think she needs to find a niche to flourish in, like Key with fashion and Hyoyeon with DJing. She was doing well as a musical actress, she should have stuck to that and given up on trying to be the next Taeyeon. It'll be better for her sanity in the long term.

>>367425BTS is bringing a lot of money to the Korean economy because of their appeal to international fans. In theory they and bighit should treat them as more than just atm machines but it's the international fans themselves that happily allow themselves to be used for whatever reason. It's like they're all in some kind of cult where they've convinced themselves that their purpose in life is to make sure bts succeeds in the West in all their endavours.

>>367413BTS are a fad with zero public recognition in the West but are getting by off fan support and American media support (and by support I mean American media outlets have figured out that army are massively easy to make money off of and they want in before the bubble bursts). That's all well and good and helps BTS make money but regular people aren't listening to fake love and they're not taking BTS seriously. Their one English speaker sometimes sound incomprehensible and the rest of the group look and act like aliens. People acknowledge that they're a huge online thing but unless BTS can score a real hit in the West - and not a funny viral song but a song regular ppl don't mind listening to on the radio on their way to work - then their buzz will fizzle fast.
The Grammys has zero big names and no hype and falling ratings. People that watch the show that aren't Kpop fans are more likely to clown the group than praise them esp if they're just showing up to stare bug-eyed and waxy into a crowd of ppl who don't gaf about them but will take pics for social media engagements.

YG has made so much off BB they don't really have any need to be bitter, but to argue that Ikon or Winner are anywhere near BTS (or Exo, or a bunch of other SM groups doing much bigger concerts than them) in terms of profitability is just lol. And to argue that YG cares more about reputation and hit songs than money is also just lol.

The biggest issue with blackpink, aside from the musical production of their title tracks being so poor and outdated for actual real people in America to enjoy (and not brain dead Kpop fans), is their utter lack of personality.

They look and sound like awkward ninth graders in their interviews, who is going to believe them when they start acting 'hard core' on stage? Especially when they don't have the performance ability, stage presence or calorie intake to pull off the amount of energy they'd need to convince people they're viable performers?
If anything all this Kpop in America is just going to annoy a vast amount of people from the American general public because as much hype as the groups have, if regular ppl can't get into the music or the performances, then it's just weird shit kids are into that the media is throwing a bone because that's how terrible American mainstream music is now.

Personally I think JYP's new group, itzy, will probably be the biggest competitor to blackpink when it comes to sound and image - BP have been robbing an empty house because there really wasn't any other "girl crush" group to compete with. G-idle are too new and not from a big 3 company.

I don't know why kpop fans 'debut' in Late night shows like it'll do anything. Most of the people who watch Stephen Colbert are older liberals 30+ of age they won't be interested in an ana girl group from korea. GMA also doesn't do much unless you're already a huge artist or you have a viral moment. The only people who consume these performances are people who are already fans.

These album sales mostly come from bulk buying, if it was the count of the purchasers and not purchases it would be way lower than a million and their views also mostly come from mass streaming, but at the end of the day they still have these numbers attached to their name.

They're not selling the same amounts of albums (though it's hard considering that gaon and hanteo aren't really legitimate charts for counting sales) and the most important thing: they lack American hits. 1D had public relevance in America because of one or two hits that were known in the country and thus which gave them hits that were known world wide. Harry Styles was also a house hold name in America for a time.
BTS's music is largely consumed by their fans. Even the general public of Korea would rather listen to other boy groups before BTS. Aside from their fans and media oulets who have to learn about/tweet about BTS to better make money off of their fans, few regular people care about them.

>>369492YG is shoving BP down everyone's throats as much as possible - even booked them a Grammy pre-showcase. But they're using the same tactic as sm did with NCT back in Sept-Oct. Let BTS go to America, drum up hype about "k-pop" and then once they leave American soil, let another k-pop group swoop in and try to get the tail wind of American interest in the k-pop narrative. The second BTS left America, NCT was in LA for their whirlwind American promo that ended up being a total flop. And at least they had something to promote - a new album, a new song. Meanwhile, BP are going to be performing I'm assuming the Korean version of Du-Du-Du at the showcase on Saturday, GMA on Monday and Stephen Colbert on Tuesday. The problem is, only K-pop fans and Koreans with bad taste actually find those songs enjoyable to listen to. NCT's "Regular" sounded more Western that D4 and they even had an English version. None of it helped.
The songs are stale and dated, the girls have zero performance/singing skills, they all look like weird ana anime characters and the second they open their mouths for an interview, viewers will be shocked and disgusted by how they sound like scripted 10 year olds. Nothing about this project makes any sense whatsoever, but SM and YG just can't let it go that BTS pulled the rug out from under them.
If anything, all the K-POP promotions in the West will only expose how subpar the content is and how crazy and annoying the fans are. The DJ Snake vs. Blinks incident is just the beginning. That entire fiasco occurred because just like the companies, the fans overestimated their faves' potential for the American market.

It's like they forget these kpop idols are grown adults that can have friends they may dislike, and not children for them to handhold & guide away from any potential ~danger~.

https://www.kpopmap.com/yg-entertainment-announces-next-blackpink-solo-debut-more/
>How do you forecast BLACKPINK’s entry in the US market as a producer?“This is only my personal and subjective analysis.
There haven’t been popular girl groups in the US and Europe for the past few decades,
as the last group I remember is ‘Spice Girls’, the 5-member girl group that made debut back in 1996.
It is probably because not many girl groups made debut itself, due to the cultural system.
Therefore, I am hoping and expecting that the US and European market will be a blue ocean for BLACKPINK.
These expectations came from the data analysis on BLACKPINK.
When you look at the YouTube view analysis by country of “DDU-DU DDU-DU”, BLACKPINK’s latest release, the largest amount of revenue was generated in the US. The US was ranked at no. 5 on the number of view counts, Brazil and Mexico at no. 7 and no. 9, and France, Russia, UK, and Germany all ranked within no. 20. If BLACKPINK’s overseas promotion begin in full-scale, we are expecting those numbers to rise accordingly.
When I recently met Lucian Grainge, the chairman of Universal Music Group, and president John Janick of Interscope Records in the US to discuss terms,
I felt that they have a lot of affection towards BLACKPINK and reaffirmed that they are passionate on setting up a successful promotion plan.”

The pussycat dolls also did well in touring and sold millions of records for years. Korea was obsessed with them at their peak.

They've completely outsold SNSD and no group is even close to touching them. I'm genuinely surprised this fact gets overlooked, especially in this thread when the conversation is constantly RV vs BP even though the top girl group is not even a competition anymore.
I really don't know how JYP did it but now the real question is whether Itzy can bring in those types of sales with the right kind of marketing or whether Twice was a total fluke. Prior to 2016, I never would have imagined that any group even had a chance at outselling 1st and 2nd gen groups. Just goes to show that the kpop market is still malleable despite being oversaturated.
No. 370349
>>370290It's hard to say for certain because it would depend on the group and company in question.
But even in the early 00's Shinwha, SS501, tvxq etc fans were accused of lining up at record stores even days in advance before drop dates to bulk purchase copies and sometimes fanclub owners would secure thousands of copies to sell back to community members, I guess to cover fans who couldn't make it to the shops on release days.
I'm not sure how S.E.S or Fin.K.L albums were packaged in terms of photocards but i'm sure SM and DSP didn't fuck around when it came to marketing and enticing fans to purchase bulk copies. At the end of the day, companies will do what they can to make fans purchase as many copies as possible, it's the sales charts such as Gaon and Oricon that are held accountable in terms of evaluating the autheticity of a product's popularity (whether it be albums, singles, DVDs etc).
>>370301Their methodologies have adapted to the digital era. Whether we're talking Billboard, Gaon, Oricon or whatever, the onus falls on them to analyze sales in a consistent manner, even if the purchasing formats have changed over time.
I mean, obviously Katy Perry, Rihanna, Ariana have never sold as many physical albums as Michael Jackson or Madonna. Yet they still have just as many billboard #1 releases and singles that have sold millions of digital copies, which is considered comparable because otherwise it's apples vs oranges.
Anyways, if you look up press reports you'll find that Twice's sales are considered remarkable by every measure.

No. 370747
>>370734Not @ how they have a loona icon whose stans praise them for being lesbeANS when none of the members have been vocal about LGBT rights because in reality that would bring complete death to a Kpop girl group.
I like Loona, but the only reason I don't keep up to date with them is the stans ramming "GAY UWU DRAG QUEENS LOVE EM LOOK THEY EVEN HAD A SONG PLAYED AT PRIDE" down my throat every second.
But I cant help but feel (and this goes for most if not all Kpop stans) they've got a lot of internalized misogyny built up. Especially when it comes to Loonarmys who seem to like the idea of Loona and Bts being together, or even being related, because "they're on the same level of talent" which is far from the truth since some of the Loona girls have showcased far more talent than all of the BTS members combined.
Sometimes it feels like Kpop bg group stans are stanning ggs bc they envision themselves in the ggs place to be closer to their oppars more than anything. That's why they're so territorial.
No. 370751
>>370747>BTS>talentLol I'm not a fan of Fifth Harmony, Little Mix, 1D and the alikes but these groups came out of singing contests and have members that can actually fucking sing. Camila made an international hit at the beginning of her solo career. You have armys insisting that they are more talented than the evol western groupz but I really don't see it. They also see them as superior to other k-pop groups but their vocals are painfully mediocre compared to most groups, only 2 members out of 7 are good dancers. I'll give it to them that their rap is okay for k-pop but that's all, they are nothing special.
Some fangirls self-insert themselves into girl groups and analyze 0.2 millisecond eye-contacts with male idols at award shows like the SEA stans who self-insert into Lisa. The others self-insert themselves into the overly feminine quirky ftm oppars, ship them with their bandmates and get
triggered by anything female that breathes around them.

I kinda like their voices, but this song is bad.
No. 370836
>>370826This song is terrible. They're trying to change up beats like Red Velvet songs do but it's just not working. The dancing is nice enough but the girl aren't pulling off the "luxury badass" image.
I don't think they'll be a threat to Blackpink anytime soon
No. 370842
>>370826Okay so I hate the song so far. It's far more cutesy pop than I expected.
Based on the girls pre-debut clips, it's clear that they all thrive with the girl crush concept. In terms of sheer talent, they seem comfortable with "empowered" or "badass" dancing and vocal styles.
I was impressed that JYP seemed to be going for a concept that was based on their personal styles rather than forcing cute concepts with high-pitched vocals and easily repeated hand movements, which he did with Twice and WG. But it looks like that's exactly what's happening once again, just with a little extra rap in the verses. Overall disappointed.
No. 370846
>>370842Samefag, just adding that the sets, props, cinematography, editing and post-editing effects are ALL AWFUL.

They better release a b-side video asap if they want Itzy to recover from this nonsense debut.

lee hi's career is dead because she was under the highgrnd subsidiary and tablo bailed on it, and he was already to her what teddy are to blackpink. somi's under the black label and could get more attention and resources since they she's the only idol like that under the subsidiary
No. 370876
>>370870Jimin got lucky with that MC gig. Baek Ayeon's songs always do well, I don't know why JYP wouldn't give her regular comebacks considering she appeals to the general public rather than idol fans, so it's a nice way to diversify their company portfolio.
But I guess JYP is sticking to its policy of prioritizing idol groups only and forgetting about the rest.
No. 370916
>>370826Aside from sounding awful, the lyrics and sets (and the rainbow puppy…) make this song seem like it's for really young girls, but the outfits and dances make me think that any sane mother of an 10 year old girl isn't letting her daughter watch it.
Some parts of this video definitely seem like they're meant for preteens, while others seem pretty indecent. I don't really understand who they're trying to target with this. It's too much for actual kids, but too juvenile for teens or adults. I can't see any 16 year old finding this cool.

>>371420>wasn't old enough to drink openly in americaLol more delusional bullshit. Jungkook has probably been drinking in Korea since puberty, age restrictions probably won't be a big deal. That "excuse" is just something armys made up to convince themselves that they're #1 priority in BTS' eyes, and I'm sure Big Hit is encouraging this charade.
What's even the point of going to big events if you can't have any fun? To get big collabs with Western artists, you need to befriend them, not just jerk over how much you love them. And the informal setting of an afterparty is the best way to do that.
Besides, I'm sure most Western artists think that BTS devotion to their fans is a bit creepy given the bad experiences they themselves have had with overbearing fans.

Sad that the debut song of IZONE, a rookie girl group with a centre 10 years younger than the centre of TWice is also much more mature than any title track Twice has put out
