    Approved the thread.
  • Was there even a male kpop group that went to GMA concert? They just put gg there for no reason.

    I’m not sure but that really is a problem in Kpop though, people be like “gidle has the best charting song by a gg this year” and I’m like NO it’s the best charting song in Korea by ANYONE :pepe-hehe:

  • As iconic as Sm is, their acts were simply not popular in the west compared to other companies.

    Yg had psy and his hit to be the 1st ww hit to ever do it, 21, bb and bp in 3rd gen who is the blueprint for them now;

    jyp had rain, wonder girls and their first korean bb hot 100 top 10 entry to ever do it


    and ofc bts were the first kpop group that snatched the rarest jewel of all, "first eva to do it" card before sm. Which is why soo man was salty and talked about how his acts like Boa debuted there first paved the way for the rest or something.

    So they created aespa for this and will milk it till the end even if their popularity and "firsts" are artificial. They want that western clout mediaplay too.

  • A bit hilarious a big company like sm makes post like this. It's giving chart account looking for anything to make up achievement

  • it's mostly SM lol they are a mediaplay machine

  • didn’t know that… did he really talk about boa like that? any source? psy yes but boa didn’t seem to achieve anything in the west when she promoted there…

  • Good on them. It's their whole job to mediaplay. Hilarious how people are upset by it.


    Then again, not like these pressed antis will ever have the smarts to run their business or obviously go into marketing.

  • There isn't a single lie, half truth, exaggeration or shade toward anyone in these 2 tweets. It's just a company doing their job.


    Aespa antis are truly miserable.
