4. I miss Aespa’s stage so much… I need to watch Karina’s fancam

Relatable

Honestly I'm okay with that. What they need more is appearing in variety shows since they didn't really appear much since debut. I need more content from Aespa.

Honsetly i could listen to Next Level all day without mushow performances so i'm still okay with it. What i want is them having more reality content that could introduce their personalities more. From what we see from Weekly Idol and Knowing Bro preview they are so fun.

I'm fine as long as SM give us regular contents

Where is the dance practice and behind the scene?

I watched their weekly idol show and I'm in love with Ningning. She's so smart and so entertaining.

I thought I'd love Winter's personality most but Ningning stood out most.

I want to know more about them all.

i liked the performance stage that SM did for the first week

it gives people a good idea of what SM expects the camera work should be like on music shows

2. SM is taking care of their artists’ health

i hope this is the reason

I feel bad for the Show and Show Champion though. They should at least get a courtesy visit each.

But overall, i am FULLY SUPPORTIVE of not having the poor idols do these music shows on consecutive days. The schedule is fucking grueling, waking up at 2 AM every night and spending the entire day on set only to have to do it all over again the next day. It's unhealthy af and to do it for three weeks??? No. This is why you see groups like Twice burning out after only three years.

Ideally, a group does 2 music shows per week for a total of 3 weeks, which means they can appear on each show once. They have more time for rest and other kinds of promotions. More rest also means they will sound better in encores if they wanna sing live.

i like this promotion style. Next level was already doing well before promo started so most people are okay with this kind of promo. if the song is not doing well people will say SM is sabotaging the group.

Music shows does help a lot, aespa got lucky the song had done well but for example Black Mamba would had done better with regular promotions on music shows, SM stopped them just as the song was rising and they didn't even gave something in return.

I would say most of kpop songs rose with promotions in melon 24hits, Oh My Girl and Itzy's latest songs are the perfect example.

To be honest I very much prefer the self produced performance stages SM is making for aespa. The stages are more appealing and the camera works are, by a huge mile, greater. One thing I'm dreading about music shows is the poor camera works. The only thing I will miss from any music show performance is the fancam. But I will trade the fancam anytime for a good camera works. Plus, by doing this kind of promotional style, the girls can have more rest between performances. They don't have to stress themselves for two weeks promotional cycle waking up early and preparing the whole day for only a little 3+ minutes of appearance. They won't be overworked, jumping from one music show appearance to the next while having little to no rest all because of a loaded comeback schedule. At least, the self produced performance stages can be made during the comeback preparation period and the music show performances right after the song is released with a good amount of resting gap in between. By going to music shows two times a week, the promotional period can be extended up to three weeks but the group will not be as exhausted and the expenses for the stage set ups will be minimized.

I don't care for music shows now but when things get back to normal, I wish they go because of the fans there. It helps the group in developing their stage presence. I also love the interactions of idols. Socialization between idols is good and it works mostly in music shows. Also, I want them to go if they have a CB where they are strong contenders to win just so we get an encore without backtrack lol.

I don't care for music shows I think aespa has been promoted ok so far it could be better some things feel rushed.

music shows on alternate days? That is amazing..

idols and their staff team can barely sleep during music promos and we saw on workman episode even stylist get to sleep like 5 hours in the whole week because of constant promos..

making it alternate days is genius as it reduces workload for both artists and the staff teams..

other idols who attend these all shows are seriously overworked.. which is why most senior artists promote either 1 or 2 weeks max because its so tiring..

I hope this actually becomes a thing.. we as fans are greedy for promos everyday but these idols have to get up early in morning like around 4 or 5 and get ready, wait in broadcast stations till evening and for what? its seriously ridiculous...

and imagine the makeup, stylist and managing team.. they have to wake up even earlier and they leave even more late than idols after whole cleanup and next day plans..

They are promoting like this because too many SM artists are having a cb at the same time and music shows have limit on how many artists from the same company can perform.

I agree. There is really no point promoting in music shows everyday if there is no audience.

SM really know what they're doing after all our girls are doing so well I'm sooooo proud
