RIIZE "Emo pop" isn't a genre, it's a Concept

RIP Kwangya 2020-2023

Emo pop as a concept? It makes more sense as a genre lol the words they use is a bit weird but maybe it's a mistranslation/Korean thing. Btw who is that guy in the video?

They are going to use black clothes and cut themselves to feel something?

Are you ok?

Bah. Nobody here appreciate a little of dark humor.

Sounds like it just means they'll be singing about what everyone else sings about - human emotions in the real world vs. more detached and distant Kwangya themes. But they want to control perception and don't want to be compared:

If emo pop means this, i will be tuning in FOR SURE. These are two of the greatest songs in pop/rock, and they're not even from the 80s lol.

Quote from SooYoung

I think groups like NCT and Aespa will continue with kwangya because they are very lore oriented

But going forward new groups will not include kwangya

They stopped saying Be my ae. It seems to me that they left everything about Lee Soo man behind. That's why I think the futuristic concepts will not continue, as in their debut period. Concepts that will likely continue in the real world.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. These all happened in tokyo dome concert just few days ago. aespa might be in their real world phase right now but there is no saying that they wouldn't go back kwangya.

Plus isn't it just last week that sm announced an entire centre/division/whatever dedicated to naevis only?
