Lee Soo man must be mad now

At how good ive is charting on Spotify us and global without any effort, plus itzy title overtaking Aespa's title in korea. With all the promotion they had done for aespa, so many exposure in USA and it was wasted. I hope they learn their lesson and next time give aespa something more catchy like black mamba or NL. I'm not saying this as fun srsly if I was him I would genuinely be angry, not to group itself but how his work didn't worked

I agree Blackmamba was their best Title track. They should also shorten their song. And all their bridges sound the same

Papa soomanie on your mind all day every day

They wasted so much money and effort promoting in US only to IVE achieve all they wanted without any effort. They better learn with Hybe and invest with payola on popular spotify playlists instead.

without any effort? ive have huge amount of playlisting I found them on 8 different playlists already and itzy's first hit since debut is barely charting above girls/illusion wow congrats lol

you thought you said something OP

Aespa gonna ditch Blackpink and copy Ive now.

Ive is the future.

IVE is on many playlists because their music is easy on the ears and have wider appeal, it's not rocket science. Do you really think Starship would put any effort paying for playlisting when they've been negotiating IWS sample for 6 months, and how they never spent money mediaplaying about their group's achievements? Why effort if you're not rven gonna brag about it?

Like I said SM should have spent all that money to buy a spot on TTH instead, at least it would help on charts. Maybe he learned the lesson.

You know? I'd like to think that. But this is Lee Soo Man we are talking about lol. The same guy who had a whole street named after him in LA. He definitely thinks of himself as the Grandmaster of Kpop and is probably sitting somewhere right now stroking the non-existent hairs on his chin looking at IVE's success in and going "Ah, yes, I sure did a great job!"

Like that man definitely believes all roads lead back to him and trust me when I say he will have learned absolutely nothing from this situation with Aespa or NCT. That man's sense of self-importance is just too great for any form of reality to break through.

lee sooman doesn't care about ive. He will give aespa publiv friendly song by the time love dive gaining good results but he still gave aespa experimental song. He might be bothered about New Jeans success because of the fact Min Heejin is sm ex.

Aespa is more popular in the U.S thanb IVE though. Streams aren't the only factor. Aespa has more impact on the general public because of swag

That will be funny. But aespa don’t have a Wonyoung, so I don’t think they will succeed.

lee sooman will never give up on the YYJ sound or the kwangya concept. it didn't work for NCT or SuperM, but he's not gonna change it. they'll keep throwing their money and connections at aespa and still get less results than ive would get with the same push.

???? you do know companies make arrangements for playlists? nothing is free in life

it's huge promo not charity

starship put them in all those playlists as soon as the song came out it has nothing to do with being "easy on the ears" look at how bp are doing

they literally sampled IWS ofcourse they are putting extreme effort that song is iconic

aespa could get into tth if they had scooter braun(hybe) that can buy it or starship that immediately adds their groups songs onto 50 playlists the first day

also mhj is an ex-sm employee ofc she knows how to give the groups concept the public cause she just copied old SM vibes and public likes it

SM is 10 steps ahead of everyone as always now jyp even copying aespa for that new flop gg they have

lol Starship is broke af because they even need to reusing IVE's outfit in many shows.

Black Mamba is their worst song.

Aespa being forced on gp by SM, but gp aint consuming it.

No one knows AESPA over there.

Cringe, yuck.

I think Aespa should come out from the SM Universe that limited their ability to show versatility.

Savage is good too

They should get rid of the lores and “experimental” music but then would MYs and SM stans like them? Since they always parrot SM saying aespa is revolutionary and a never have done before group in kpop.
