Wanna start with this because they look so good. Specially Rei, I can't get over the new hair.

Also imagine how much heat Yujin must generate. I'd be dead just getting up on stage.

@KainWind

There's a lot of people I can't tag :( Why does this happen?

Rei and Liz really shouldn't have carried their bangs past debut. Not because it looked bad, but it's such a singular look. I understand having dedicated styles for specific releases, but they can get played out.

I'm guessing the timeline is consistent, but I feel like the Young Luv album was so good that it's still holding me over as something fresh.

I see what you mean, I agree that switching it up is good, specially with bangs. Then again some idols carry the same do their whole career, with little variation.

lol they are keeping a good pace, which is good specially when you're this good. I agree, to be honest in the beginning StayC was a little too "teen fresh" I guess is the term for my taste (although still great), but I've liked each new release more than the previous so very much looking forward to where they go next.

It was my first ever kpop concert! Usually they don't come within a few hundred miles of me so I had to go. Loona will be at the same place next month, but it's a lot more expensive so I'm not sure about it.

Never fails to make an impression. Not necessarily a good one for everyone, but an impression.
Really what has me struck now is they've not let up on this theme/concept, you'd think there has to be some type of consumer product that should materialize by now, like some kind of social media app by SM.

And I'm wondering who is in charge of writing these lyrics. Like is it a core team that keeps things contextually consistent, or do they hand it to someone new each time? Are they more musically-inclined, or more...something else-inclined? It must be an interesting job.

But otherwise remove the subs and the production quality is at the forefront to digest. Fan of how they diversified the use of Giselle's vocals this time around.

Oh wow didn't know the first was full. How long did it last?
Totally forgot to check

My best recollection is it was surely around during "Next Level" and fromis_9's "Feel Good" which both MV's were out that same day (May, 17 2021)

Yeah, I mean it's just a silly theme but at this point it's just not really adding anything. Which is a small shame because everything else is chef's kiss, as expected. But I'm always ragging on everybody (well, not everybody...) for doing the same thing over and over and aespa shouldn't get off scot free just because it's what I like. The thing is the concept still comes with so many motifs and styles we've seen before that regrettably give the whole thing a little played out feel. Oh well, it's still a minor, superficial, ignorable thing, hopefully they just wanted to wrap up the whole Mamba storyline and they'll be moving on to something else. I mean you can still have the avatars and everything, just change it up a little, we've seen them do it. Or like you said maybe even do something different with it.

It got pretty weird when they also tried to tie in with their UN Speech.
Believe yesterday I saw there was a countdown for another showcase outside of the GMA performance, but I can't find it today.

Maybe a bit too much with the camera in that take.

Imo the best IOI member, more so because she went from being a minor focus in the group to making her own way as a solo artist. Was a little put off when she was endorsing some whitening cream, tho.

I knew who you meant before clicking (I mean she's really the only one that fits). I think it's a pretty widespread opinion. Produce 101 was pretty much made for her: trainee from a small, newcomer, unknown agency, recognized for her talents and charisma, makes the team then goes on to have a successful solo career. It's the trainee dream.

Mmm, sounds about right for you! It's the one I like least, lol... How about the remakes, DCT came out nice and classic.

Conversely (?) I've been watching some Gidle variety and reality/bts because they're too lovely and adorable. And Yuqi is something else, wild.

i didn't give the remakes the time of day tbh since, well, they're just remakes. not a fan of DCT - neither the original nor what they did to it.

wanna say that life's too short is better because they're a lot more convincing with that sort of image and there's no kwangya bullshit, but i'm sure i wouldn't mind the nonsense lyrics if i liked the rest of it.

Ironically DCT might be my favorite track of theirs.

My opinion of "Girls" as a song is still the same.
I thought the choreography vid and GMA performance seemed like two extremes of camera work (too much and too little)

However I am liking how it was prepared and handled for Korean broadcast. The choreography works at different distances really well. They move really well as a unit.

Lukewarm about this one. I get the concept but something about the chorus doesn't follow up the pre-chorus build up all that great for me.
But they're one of those groups you just don't have to like all the time, and still see them as solid.
Chae looks...different.

I agree. Actually I don't think there's a bad Itzy song, or at least they manage to make all their songs work well, as I think I've said before. I liked this one, yeah kinda simple but still fun. I hear Twice a bit in some parts, it's more of a throwback style they do sometimes, which is nice.

Yea Garam who needs her

STAYC album is an ok short listen. More of a summer focus.

Hyolyn album was nice too.

For some reason I think there may have been group input about her too before HYBE made the termination.

I kinda liked Garam and was hoping for a redemption arc but eh, the other girls have never showed any sign of missing her (on the contrary), so it's probably for the best.
