SM Need To Stop Pushing AESPA In The West When There's No Demand

This thread doesn't even make sense.

Aespa is a group and they are being promoted. End of the story. Stop trying to gatekeep places ffs. Idc and you shouldn't compare BTS trajectory to others and any other group trajectory to others. Let kpop groups do whatever they are doing.

Do you want just NewJeans, BTS and BP there? Lol, this is peak comedy.

why are u mad lmao

I think SM ent
already give up for AESPA
they milking them
now as much as they can
possibly they preparing to debut
a new GG by 2-3 yrs from now?

I am western and I demand

Wow Aespa being defended and nj fans attacked. Aespa flops for real

America dont appreciate terrible live stages though. These girls are good in studio but need to work on stage presence. And get some better song producers. So they get back to hits.

Btw every artist has right to promote anywhere.

they can do whatever promotion they want lol

listen to :

well they can promote any way they see fit. if you don't like it then it is your problem

BTW listen to this :

If they want to spend money on promotions, let them. They had masses of fans who showed out for them when they went. Time will tell how much success they will have, but in the current Kpop climate, it entirely makes sense to target the US.

is this thread really about aespa though? lol look at you trying to sneak newjeans already as part of succesful global groups along with bts and blackpink. isn't too early for that?

Its embarrassing to see sm pushing my girls like that... They would slay so hard with a "we dont need western or gp validation or whatever" attitude and kept releasing bops and break kpop industry every time they drop a teaser

Pls aespa is one of the coolest groups

But honestly, good for the people that have the chance to see them live, i would too if i had the chance

Maybe theres logic in what sm is doing after all..

While SM is notorious for pushing acts that had low demand or whose sound isn't popular in the US (aespa, BoA, SNSD, SuperM) yet sitting on their ass when it came to EXO and Red Velvet, SM has the capital and they'll do what they want with their money.

They paused on US festivals and TV shows for 7 years after SNSD failed to break in until NCT in 2018, but by 2018 BTS had made their way in and shown that K-pop could be profitable. I don't think SM ever stopped wanting to target the US market, but were just waiting until the time was right.

Now when it comes to music, I don't think pushing songs like Savage or Superhuman was smart in all honesty.

They only attended one fashion show.

There’s nothing wrong promoting in the us the problem was SM prioritizing the west over Korea.

i say groups should take whatever they can get. can't be too picky about the gigs you end up landing

Ridiculous tbh. They push their least appealing artists internationally but crickets for exo and rv.

at that time exo was charting on BB200 they had everything to gain some tractions there. Their music is pop perfection.

RV have psycho and bad boy in their discography and SM still give them red concept.

EXO and RV both had potential if SM had gotten off their ass in 2018.

EXO still had plenty of hype internationally after Love Shot, but they went into solo and unit promotions instead.

Red Velvet should have been pushed harder after Bad Boy and not just at KCON. Psycho was fucked up due to the SBS mess with Wendy, and then they put RV on an 18-month group hiatus.

I SM poster try to audition ten years old kids are they gonna debut new group with baby shark concept. It's seem interesting look at how successful baby shark this is new market expansion

it's nice to see when companies promote their artists, every company should do so. but if sm or any other company wants their artists to do well in american market they need to give them western gp friendly music. without it everything else is useless.

I don't think you need to worry about SM promo tactics

just look at how they are promoting GOT the beat

you don't need to wish for them to mess up

they are perfectly capable of doing that all by themselves

just don't worry about SM and have a peaceful sleep tonight for a change

I would assume the people at SM know better than us mortals about what promotion suits them best and if not well the money is a tax write off

'tis better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all

Isn't that is what US label do?

at least warner is doing it's job getting aespa US gigs unlike SM for aespa Domestic promos

Warner getting aespa jobs that could actually expand their US fanbase unlike SM. They have made little to no effort to promoting aespa in Kr last year.

Let them be seriously, if they want to promote just let them be

keep the hate train going so we could get more "Life's too short" kind of song... the song really reaches certain audience LMAO

This is new SM concept to conquer the West

this post is more about NewJeans than aespa lol

Quote from uwuno

Aespa members are 10/10

they just need better songs

Can they sing baby shark song

exactly

altho they have released good ones. just need the right song to show their talents

and if they wanna push aespa, let them. Why are you being so bothered? Let's not gatekeep shall we.

aespa is just mismanaged by SM imo
