That knowledge kinda helps to be more positive.
There is a creative drainage in Kpop and music in general. Most of the production has been outsourced to the west long time ago. And with the speed that Kpop groups put out music, no creative is able to keep up.
SM and JYP are in complete shambles. YG used to rely on Teddy but even his creativity is coming to an end, which BP's last album perfectly demonstrated.
Hybe has a better creative network so they are delivering the most in terms of it right now. But even in their case, New Jeans currents songs have been complete years ago as per Min Heejin herself. I'd be curious to see where they go with NJ once they are out of their hit stocks and have to produce new albums from scratch.
