Yall do realise that we are essentially getting songs that were written, produced and recorded years ago?

Twice recently mentioned that they recorded Set Me Free a year ago. JYP talked about Itzy's Cheshire during Sneakers promotions. Min Hee Jin mentioned that NJ's songs were chosen 2 years ago.

Wtf man, like Kpop is indeed as manufactured as it gets. It is not just idols but even the songs. They were produced and put inside an incubator until their time comes.

That's why Kpop is struggling, because there is no innovation. Like the next big musical trend won't come from Kpop because they are stuck in the past.

Not to mention that we start to get songs which were written for/by unknown western artists. Purple Kiss - Sweet Juice is example of that.

Didn't RBW allow Mamamoo stans to participate in song choice? Why don't they do the same for PK?

Well I mean New Jeans is innovating right now, when have you ever heard a song like Ditto? with new jeans I think it has a lot to do with careful planning before they debut to make sure they'd be a hit, Min Heejin did it the right way, but with other groups like itzy and twice, they don't plan head, they just record music but don't make music that is fresh and new, but pre-recording music isn't really the issue, it's the quality of music and lack of creativity in these big companies, they are just lazy and don't want to create art anymore.

They got lucky finding a very unlikely producer who used to do trot. They should seriously make him their Teddy, guy is a genius.
