Sorry buds. The last one purged because it was inactive for 2+ days. Usually it survives that but I guess all the political/election topics drowned it out.

Also, apparently God Jihyo and Kang Daniel split.

I'm not sure if we 100% know, but I thought Synk was going to be some attempt at an avatar app of sorts, vs, them trying to go straight K/DA about it all.

I don't think I'll have a set opinion until maybe the 2nd comeback. They can start ultra weird like some past SM groups, and then level out.

...I'd really hate to jump on a hate bandwagon so I'll hold my full judgment for now but I wish they hadn't gone with so edgy a style. like I don't think that was the right call, yeah it feels like they're just following the trend and making a grab for it, which is a sad day for SM

What strikes me most is the lyrical concept was heavily set towards nods to Synk. This can become a memorable or forgettable thing for their discography.

Otherwise as a group they seem to make a pretty good visual and vocal impression imo.

Finally a proper Momoland comeback.

https://youtu.be/MsNH0qBoJQs

Hyebin's been slayin' lately. I love her look in this video. I think she's my bias now (sorry Ahin).

Anyways, I thought this was a catchy number. I think they did too much with the colors or filters or whatever though, it's uncomfortable to watch at times.

My current opinion was that the song was decent, but really just serving as a feeler vs coming with any real expectations to chart. Believe MAMA nominations are already locked. I'm more sold on the general sound and potential talent. Supposedly more members will be added. Not sure if it's going to be some kind of NCT revolving door, but SM has gotten that to work.

Momoland Ready or Not MV was better than the performance. I am questioning their direction. It seems a bit dated vs where Twice, Itzy, BP. Moo, and I guess Aespa are going. Still too much instrumentals driving the chorus. Jane on her own time is practicing far more impressive choreography. Feel like this group is more talented than what they're given to work with.

Something's up with the topic retention algorithm. Someone needs to analyze the topic/post velocity of the board because it's either overheating or dying, and I don't think it's the former.

Yeah they're perfectly fine as a group, they're adorable really. I guess there's nothing wrong with the song either, the choreo looks fun, I'm sure their performance will be great. It's just like I said, I would've thought the world of this song and even the concept two years ago (yeah like Popstars), but now for me it's like yeah it's good but you're not really contributing anything to the genre. I guess maybe I was expecting too much and the wrong kind of expectations at that, which to be fair that wasn't hard to do with aespa. But like you said, it's just their debut so yeah, there's certainly plenty to look forward to. Also it's still more original than anything BP have done as of late, so there's that.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


lol, on the one hand this is how I've felt ever since I got into idol pop. On the other hand part of the reason is that SM is really going for that feeling. I feel old not so much because of the song and the style and all, again it's not really anything new, but because this is what SM decided to go with. Also I should know better than to question it, they broke the views record hard, they know what they're doing. Which just helps make one feel even older. Don't feel too old though, the swing back to something more traditional WILL come one day, it's just that day is not today I guess.

Studio stage, doubt Mnet and all them will be rigging up that kind of camera work lol.

Choreography is kinda what I expected. I'm never really a fan of backup dancers, but first go gets a pass. Moves are sharp and at the moment it seems they're all equal, vs. Something like BP where Lisa is clearly a different level.

Honestly it's just distracting lol. I like the choreo, I just want to get a good look at it whole. I guess i have to wait for a dance practice vid or something.

Can't say I stan that group (well, I don't stan anyone if I had to be real), but as the new thing I am curious how well they can do an actual live performance.

I have a dilemma because with RV's future uncertain and Izone's time ticking down I'll need a new favorite soon.

I've been kinda keeping track of NCT.
Resonance Pt 2 is a strong contrast to Pt 1.
On both albums I felt they peaked at the lead single, although I liked more of Pt 1 than 2.
127 and Dream albums were better this year imo.

I know next to nothing of NCT, what are some good songs?

I only started really getting into EXO a couple years back, I'd heard some of their most famous songs and liked them just fine then started listening to their other songs and found out I really liked them.

Have you guys heard/of this group? Formed by Black Eyed Pilseung. Sounds a lot like classic Twice heavy on the retro. I really like some parts, the other parts are okay, too.

Tbh they're a bit of an acquired taste. A lot of what I ended up liking ended up being stuff that had to grow on me, but the realization for some is like "wow, this actually was a genius idea"

Most commonly-liked tracks:
  • Boss
  • Baby Don't Stop
  • Kick It


Other good tracks that imo can be totally subjective:
  • Almost all the lead singles that have an MV except for the early Dream unit stuff because that was straight up geared for a stupid cutesy kid concept. Also avoid the English renditions of stuff (like Regular). SM makes garbage translations.
  • WayV is very underrated imo. They are an NCT subunit focused for the Chinese market, so they don't appear on many regular Korean programs. This was a very-well put performance imo, and they've got some of the best vocals in all of NCT for sure. Ten is virtually all the dancer Taeyong is but a much better singer. Thai guy, Korean agency, Chinese group, and sometimes has to speak English. Ten.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH9qQzWzVJI

  • The more recent NCT U "Make A Wish" single imo is a great example of how the NCT system works. Implementing Jaemin from Dream and Xiaojun from WayV. Especially with years passing, it's hard to make sense of the point of Dream vs 127 units, apart from giving all the NCT members a better opportunity for line distribution.
  • Up until like last year, Mark was almost in like every damn song because he was assigned as a regular in all units but WayV. It was funny seeing how true that was when NCT was on that random dance TV show and he pretty much was in every song. Also funny when NCT did a collab with EXO in an SM stage and it's like "well shit now he's part of EXO. Ironically enough, he's in SuperM.
  • On that note, SuperM isn't all that great imo. A combo of NCT/EXO/WayV and Taemin, so crazy talent, but the songs don't seem as well thought out.

Might just be shoes, but I didn't realize Ninging is perhaps the shortest of the group, and Karina was the tallest.

Of course moves look much better since they're not in heels.

If the additional 3 members are true, wonder how long until then. "Black Mamba" clearly relies on the backup dancers

I'm not sure what to expect with Kai's upcoming solo. He's not a bad vocalist, but his range is limited. I can't recall when he could really back a high note.

Kinda want that hat/mask he's wearing, and I'm someone who doesn't like hats.

Oh, hahaha actually the one NCT song I knew was Chewing Gum because of Produce 48.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CRZsCWDReE

I really liked it lol! But yeah it's ridiculously cutesy, which is why it looks okay on girls I think. Actually I heard it was considered for an RV song which I can totally see RV doing it. Speaking of I also knew Taeyong from RV's Be Natural remake of course.

Thanks for the recs, I can see the level of talent and preparation in all the members as expected, but also that they're a pretty versatile group which I think is always good. I'm sure I'll give them another look later.

Oh I hadn't seen the Black Mamba preview in Make A Wish! I see the Mark joke lol, he's everywhere. Yeah Chinese (and other countries) idols could really give Koreans a run for their money, and the government has been allowing the growth of idol culture but they want to make sure that Chinese gets promoted first, understandably.
