The Meteoric Rise and Fall of ITZY: A Modern Kpop Tragedy

They lack SHOCK factor and IT girls.

Kpop sells based in visual, hype and not just good music. This is the same thing happening with IVE too unfortunately. As time goes by,people get bored of your repeitive concept.

Aespa latest 4 title tracks stay in their lane but are diverse. Knetizens were praising them for staying with their metal sound but all 4 are different taste. NJ reiginite the love for Y2K sound and then go R&B with Get Up. Lesserafim switched their sound after people complained about Unforgiven and they found success with Easy and Smart.

Switching is not a bad thing but it has to be done tactfully.

Who knows! I remember Lia had that bullying scandal and people were demanding she gets kicked out or they’ll boycott them To me this is the only logical thing because their music hasn’t changed that much imo. It mirrors gidle but they did kick out the member and the group has been doing better than ever! I guess this is why SM did this to Riize too

What is Lia's scandal?

What is Lia's scandal?

Not exactly sure but something about how she was a bully during school years and people were demanding she gets kicked out the group

their albums still sell though, song charting is nothing but bragging rights unless you're day 6 and the songs are under the members names
