Is it standard for a SM group's second single to be a cover?

I don't think so really? In the past that wasn't the case. Maybe it's a new trend.

Be Natural was a remake?

SNSD's 2nd single "Girls' Generation" was also a remake

More so for the GG, it also happened with SNSD, but I don't think Fx. I think they do it to show off what people think they lack, cause when RV debuted with happiness people said they couldn't dance and were just singers, so be natural is dance heavy and when aespa debuted people said they couldn't sing, so they released forever. I'm just waiting for rapselle to debut now

What from who is the remake ?

For f(x) it was their 6th single 'Hot Summer' that was a remake, not their 2nd.

And that's bad because? lol the things people will rage over

It's getting better now, around 2009 plus seemed like the dark ages, especially at the start of social media, the trolling must have been crazy. I Feel like now people know what to expect and idols should be taught how to cope/ stay safe

SJ's happiness also was a remake

Quote from jdpm12021991

So far I've seen it happen with Red Velvet and aespa. Is this a new tradition for their second pre-release to be a remake?

SM GG tradition minus f(x)

Quote from jdpm12021991

Why only GG tho?

SM and its misogyny

Yes.

Waste of resources me thinks because of questionable SM's choices of song cover especially for RV and Aespa because it's completely different from what the fans want to hear.

Well, look at bright things:

Be natural- have chair dance chef kiss, boring song tho

Forever - proved that all Aespa can sing
