Now that IVE is the indisputable leader in fourth gen, let's discuss. Where did SM go wrong with Aespa?

I think they should be spending more time solidifying their Korean/Asian fanbase instead of trying to immediately hit it big in the U.S.

A strong domestic fandom would help their popularity overseas anyway.

Where did NewJeans ever sing live? i am seriously asking because all the "live" singing videos i have seen aren't even live

Also no MYs care about trolls anymore we had our fair share when Girls released that we are inmunne to it so maybe you should try dragging another group if you want to get salty reactions

Quote from SeulgisAbs

-lore - only works for bts. Every other groop with lore namely Exo, Gfriend, Txt, Enhyphen are flops

Thanks, I laughed.

One day I want to write a whole ass essay about why I think aespa's metaverse concept is toxic for their success in the west, because the concept of metaverse in general is toxic and unliked by most people thanks to Zuckerberg and gross NFT/Crypto-bros.

Quote from IVEgotNEWJEANS

Red Velvet didn't smile either after their first year.

Their biggest song got its popularity thanks to the choreography & adding to that SM bought the song so they didn't have the producers that create a signature song with aespa in mind.
