LE SSERAFIM and NewJeans got one thing in common

Quote from momamae

I couldn't have said it better

i speak only facts lol

those bitches will continue to eat it up

It's not actually surprising. Gimmicks work. HYBE are terrible, but they've proven they play this game better than most.

I mean, look at the YouTube comment section for the MV; 95% of them are seemingly for J-Hope, so ARMY was never going to let this flounder. Perusing the comments, you would think it was "Spaghetti (feat. LE SSERAFIM)" by J-Hope. The HYBE Mind ensured that this release would be reasonably successful.

The song will do well enough, and the group will be just fine. Even though I understand the intention behind the collaboration, it's just a shame the girls weren't given the opportunity to shine on their own, because they have so much to offer. At a length of 2:16 and nothing to differentiate it, their version was deliberately made to be less impactful. Therefore, there are few reasons to choose it over the track with the feature. It's an afterthought. Thank the stars they gave us "Pearlies," because the girls do shine here. It would've been a great title track, but it wouldn't have generated the discourse, and therefore lasting interest, that "Spaghetti" has.

Even though the song does nothing for me, as a fan, I know that these talented women will always deliver in the performance department, making even the most questionable song a fun and worthwhile experience. So with that said, whether you like the song or not, watch them do what they do best: serve.

Valid points but I think it's clear this was made to be a fun song for the group to perform, and for your reasons above. I think smart to just have it as a singles album and to provide something for the fans to enjoy. It really does feel like it was for the fans because watching the stages, wacky promotion, and the group having fun feels rewarding.

The only thing I fear is Pearlies being overlooked because that's a very good song and deserves attention. I hope Source gives us a special clip for that song. I think that song deserves that treatment.

Honestly i will admit Lesserafim are legends for doing so well with such a terrible song

I don't disagree that it is mainly intended to be a fun track, but as we can see from the varied responses here, intention doesn't always translate well, nor is it compatible with many expectations or hopes that fans hold. Like you said, due to the divisive potential of the song, it was smart to release it as a single. At the end of the day, if the girls actually enjoy the song, have fun performing it, and it does well, that's all I can ask for, really. Beyond just the music, I enjoy seeing them happy and having fun. I'll always support them because I value what they have to offer. When they are truly playing to their strengths, I think it's difficult for even the loudest naysayers to discredit them.

I would love to see a special clip for "Pearlies" too.

idk i thought the song was pretty fun

I agree with both of you.

Those who are doomposting on LSF saying that all they have to offer clearly missed the fact that the song is supposed to be fun and not really taken seriously. I mean, they are close to the end of their world tour and my guess is they started prepping for this comeback during the tour hence why its a single album.

And being a group that is sometimes actively involved in writing their music, they'd need a good amount of time to actually put something worthwhile together so the logic is that they will do so after the world tour and during a period where they can actually put more energy into the quality of their work.

Although, I must add that Pearlies will never get the attention that Spaghetti gets because its a LSF bside that showcases some of their vocals, which directly contradicts the "lsf cant sing" narrative that even some fearnots have fallen victim to. It's was same thing with Impurities, Fearnot (bymatl), Sour Grapes, Ash, etc. All great bsides (better than the tt of their respective albums, dare i say) that gives a snippet of lsf's vocal potential but in the end, it was overlooked.

They're under the shittiest Kpop company.

It's exactly that. They're having fun with it. Sometimes idols need a comeback where they get to have fun and fans will enjoy the moment. It's also nice to see Sakura participated in writing the song.
