Thought it was cool that Lesseo got a decent amount of spotlight instead of taking a major backseat to Wonyoung.

Now if they only do the same for Gaeul.

I thought Nayeon's solo album was decent. I still have skepticism over her live vocal ability, but crazy to see time pass and see a large production put her in a dedicated spotlight, which was in due time.

A couple listens and then this grew on me. I typically don't like repetition used to create a hook, but this is one of my favorite Loona tracks. I'm whatever about the video concept.

If the Coachella performance didn't drop first, I would've thought this was some kind of token English track only meant to be heard as a studio rendition.

Never really sure how these English tracks go. Maybe only Giselle really knows what she's saying, and to the rest, it's just memorization and vocalization of....sounds. But it gets interesting that way because they kinda style the language in their own way.

This is probably what threw me off, thinking they were still coming off the same promotion because Wa Di Da was performed there.

Mixed fortunes for this group. Won a few awards as rookies, but maybe there just was dry competition at the time.

They're pretty much just revolving around Dita because of her audience draw, but I think she brings something different.

Fitting as a pre-release as intended. Surely doesn't come off like a single or B-side, but just something to bring attention to the upcoming album.

Production quality is there, concept isn't (imo)

Also not a fan of how much they rely on colored contacts to count towards their aesthetic. Gets ultra weird that they have Chowon doing stone cold looks into the camera.

Looking out for the Lightsum comeback. There's a lot vested into their visual package. They just have to come through with the actual musical side.

No Garam. Sadly, the choreography does look better. Part of that is because Eunchae and Sakura ended up absorbing that line distribution.

I'm not into hats or short hair, but Chaewon's stylist has been on it.

Find this to be the best choreography vid for them so far. The variable telephoto lens just goes well with the choreography, whereas the HYBE/Studio Choom/SBS One Take sessions kinda broke focus on what the stage performances actually look like.

Meanwhile Classy also debuted and they've been pretty overshadowed.

IMO there's a game of opportunity/timing in an industry with fast-moving trends. A successful release/exposure relies a lot on finding a window of time or the jump on "getting the first word in".

At least to my foreign/casual perception, Le Sserafim already took my attention before I could build anticipation for anything else. Because especially in this industry, listeners kinda look for the next development in sound and image.

I can't fault Classy (or anyone being a fan of them), but already to me, the sound and image isn't so much of a standout*. I felt that way about StayC early on as well, but Young Luv came at the right time.

*for my own personal tastes, I'm still more mindful of how Le Sserafim's fashion/aesthetic is put together. And I'm not someone who's into shopping with/for women or stuff like that. Uniforms (well, I never liked that) and overly-themed outfits (like the goofy/hybrid or half-constructed jackets) have gone way outside my own taste. That's going on, while Yunjin is here with a revealed thong.

Might just be my PoV, but SM seems to be unable to keep up with promoting every solo artist they have under their hat. It's like NCT, Aespa, then everyone else.

Between that and Station features, they're pretty spread out.

Likeable, although I'm still thinking it's bit "over-produced".

This and StayC's album kinda come with this shift in Gen4 sound of sorts imo. The B-sides don't feel like they're short of being capable of replacing the lead single.

Little wary that it's going to sound overproduced.

But only time will tell. Right now I can't imagine what Fearless will look like as a performance. But that's just 15 seconds of what might not be a significant part of the track.

Aespa, who have very little experience performing in front of even small crowds due to debuting during COVID, and who still have never actually sang live during a performance, are going to perform at Coachella. The response should be interesting to say the least, they will get torn to shreds if they go up there and lipsync

Yeah I'm fearing this. I mean I'm confident they've been trained as hard as could be for this, but then human factor of it being the first time may really kick in.

where do i begin

they're a kpop group right. they're supposed to make korean music and shit. kpop is all about the fandom and making them happy

but YG is like nah they're pretty much models to show off how wealthy my company/korea is oh look we got cardi b on the album we're so cool right

so like yeah where are their songs? wheres that john travolta gif. they make like 1 song every 2 years, and theyre like "guys this comeback is going to be amazing they're so talented and amazing" but then Teddy is just "AW SHIT THE COMEBACK IS TOMORROW? BRB 10 min" and shits out some boring ass track. the last time he was creative on a song was fucking 2017 for Gashina so i know hes got it in him

but what are blinks gonna do? NOT LISTEN?

but there they are. in paris, italy, america, etc. going oh yeah we da best kpop group ever and blinks are like "yes daddy YG give us our one song a year"

I HATE IT. THEY ARE THE WORST

and the thing i hate about it most is that i fucking love Lisa and Jisoo. they deserve better. Lisa is legit one of the best dancers in korea, but they have to dumb down all their dances for the rest of them. and Jisoo is just an angel i love her i hope she sticks with acting BECAUSE SHE DESERVES BETTER

NO IM STILL NOT MAD YG KILLED 2NE1 AT THEIR LITERAL HEIGHT OF POPULARITY JUST TO SHUFFLE IN JENNIE. FUCK

I think that's just YG. They find a marketable product, that's all they're going to milk, and play the market. They probably got a good deal out of Teddy producing most everything. Don't get me wrong, the girls themselves are talented, but no offense to anyone, I'd say at least half of BP's songs are a total miss. I'm seeing a similar thing with Somi, who - not to hate - is yielding another blind fandom.

Unfortunately, they're ahead with this. A lot of sheep out there.

imo one reality I see with this industry is most everything gets outdated and disposable. Few groups and songs can persist through generations. It's so heavily reliant in the upfront, short term gains.
So, just gonna make the most out of each product.

I'll have to wait until the debut to judge how I like it, but so far I do like how different the approach feels. They might be my favorite aesthetic if it's going to keep looking like this.

I do wonder if ambassador deals are already lined up with fashion houses and designers. I would like to see a group that completely does away with the uniform looks, overdone hair, and overly bright melodies (although arguably that's what created the draw in the first place). They look like people to be realistically be attracted to, if that makes sense.

I'm pretty oblivious to the ongoings of ballet, but she sounds like a serious talent. Wonder what her vocals will be like. I'm guessing she figured there was more opportunity to earn or enjoy herself in this industry vs ballet.

How successful has Eun Bi been? Kinda surprised at Yena's popularity and winning an award.
I can't speak from a Korean pov, but it doesn't sound like she makes much noise. I could be wrong as popularity there vs.international can be two different stories. Don't recall her getting any wins.

I always felt like Yena had a strong following, and it's partly with the speculation of her joining Everglow. Otherwise IZ ONE's main draws seemed to be Wonyoung and Sakura imo.

Groups also seem to net spotlight better than solos imo. IVE has familiar faces of course, but the group as a whole has more draw.

To me it was another JYP exhibition where they try to feed off other trends and then try to invent something as well.. I felt this way about Stray Kids, sometimes Got7 and Twice's work, among others.

I actually find it hard to believe Itzy is part of JYP. Sounds like they get handled way different.

NMIXX does have promising talent. Lily's vocals are A+

...but it's still crazy how Ahin became bad af. Her vocal has always been on point but it continues to develop.
