The biggest disappointment the company of your artists gave you

Not promoting Anti Romantic when it was doing so well everywhere I guess

Quote from Marmaladeheart

the song is so nice. I'm not a fan but I like the song. Could be much more popular.

Yup, it got lots of buzz and did really well on its own without the promo

As far as promotion goes? Delaying it by a ton and then when it finally is coming giving it 0 promo to the point where album details were only given a couple days before the album dropped. We should probably know how many versions there are a little more in advance??

SNSD cluster fuck of a 10th anniversary

Literal sabotage by SM

Letting ed sheeran write permission to dance... I like the instrumental but the lyrics are a bit generic I guess?

not putting spring day (brit rock remix), dope jazz version, not today (remix), dionysius (trap remix), black swan (orchesrtra), various mixtapes in spotify...

Giving that messy MV to TWICE's Fancy, a big ass bop. Should have made a more aesthetically pleasing MV.

Giving TWICE More & More while Jeongyeon's disc is not good, should have made Eyes Wide Open the only comeback.

Not releasing Cry For Me until TWICE asked. Not giving it an MV is also a crime.

Not creating a MV nor promoting Cry For Me after it did so well with the Korean public. Like wtf JYPE?

I was about to say something like this! The problem is it wasn't even going to be released until the decide to do it for a special performance...

But the way that they could've saved it for a mv and proper promotions is like wasting a song as great as this one...

Well I mean...it has its own, very, very complicated storyline but let's not get into that

Let's just say, it's one of the most non-linear and tangled up Twice mv storyline

I think many people really like the retro vibes in the MV, but I think the retro vibe should have been executed more properly. I would want an MV like Fake & True, that's amazing. Good thing they came up with Feel Special, an amazing MV that year.

Also, some people think the non-linear one might be either More & More or I Can't Stop Me

Same as my thoughts. It was also one of the songs that the international netizens really like.

It felt more futuristic to me honestly...more futuristic than Signal imo

That's true, Fake & True is honestly one of their best mv...and Feel Special is very, very pretty too

I especially love the album exclusive mv

LMAO it's actually not that non-linear. It's still pretty easy to figure out. Long story short, Twice is in the Garden of Eden, they eat the forbidden fruit (apple) they go into a world where it's no longer paradise like in the biblical reference and then in ICSM they are slowly being overcome by the darkness of the forbidden fruit

Fancy is all over the place, it literally starts as it ends lol. It's a dream world and they're slowly realizing that it's not real and as you can see it's slowly melting as the video progresses. And every moment is how they perceive love like Nayeon thinks it's precious, Jeongyeon thinks it's dangerous, Momo feels like she's flying, Sana thinks it's sweet, Jihyo thinks it's unique and so on lol. And Jeongyeon pricking the rose is like them entering this dream world...gives me major Kura Kura vibes tbh lol

Disbanding Gfriend when their contract was supposed to end later and that could mean they may have had 1 last comeback although it was hard to continue the lore after Mago.

If that was too much I ask because they weren't doing that well at least give them a goodbye song with a budget mv for the good old times.

ON ft sia

It was so random/unnecessary and sia's voice did not fit the song at all

Permission to Dance
Autotune
Be deluxe edition price
there are more but I will stop here.

YG?Their Existence

SM?Their Existence

HYBE? Those water bottles, and not promoting your most famous song(cough cough Anti Romantic), not giving black swan orchestral version, etc.

JYP? JYP oppar

Hotel? Trivago

I still didn't receive Kyungsoo's album and I pre-ordered it 1 month ago

even more disappointing is that it seems the companies Hybe and Source lied to the public with false news about "extensive discussion", "contract expiry" and "Gfriend choosing not to renew"

imagine how gfriend members feels when they found out that the company terminated them and make them look like they have been lying to their fans.

YG letting 2NE1 disband.

SM not giving F(x) better treatment.

I saw it coming since D-1

Theres nothing YG truly loves like milking their flagship acts through any means necessary

With BP it's even worse tho , so much unnecessary recycled content....

- For Twice, a lot of people mentioned cry for me sooo I'll say the creepy jyp whisper in alcohol free (bleh).

-For Weki Meki, it is not giving the girls a solid debut cause they had so much attention on then when they debuted but their company just had to give them their worse song

Not only that. They mistreated their fans too with the Weverse fiasco, returning their money with Weverse currency or something like that. Come one at least some respect

LSM is 100% satisfied with all SM artists...

Not putting Black Swan orchestral remix on spotify, and basically all the amazing concert remixes and their soundcloud discography on spotify.

Not promoting Anti-Romantic when it's doing so well (missing out on a golden opportunity truly)

Quote from Marmaladeheart

waiting for the last one to say it was the biggest shit they've ever planned.

The last one here you go. Now its completed let's say it's bullshit

Quote from TheBotter

The way JYPE approached Niziu.

The company had no foot hold or means to entry to Japan beyond Twice so they directly used Twice as a launch platform for the group and consistently as the show was growing advertised and sold the group to largely Twice's core demo' and cannibalized Twice's market and fans tactically choosing to grow Niziu, even if it meant at the expense of Twice.

It completely destroys JYP's 'our company is a family' image and shows, no actually your company is just a company and has 0 care or respect for artists or fans beyond how they can impact your bottom line.

100% bro, 100%

Blackpink

Mismanaging girls and leading to akgae problems

4+1 crap

"Special stages"

Lack of comebacks

Lack of award show attendance

No free content

No original Japanese songs

BTS

Autotune and shitty processing

Too much free content

Lack of rest for boys

Waterbottle

Too many high notes for the sake of high note

BTS styling

No individual accounts for BTS

Solo projects esp in acting

How fantagio and pledis treated Hello Venus

And of course the mediocre and half-assed promotions IOI got. The quality of the physical albums is so bad, even as a fan I wasn't excited to buy them...

Hybe Labels Japan giving us nothing, despite saying otherwise two months ago.

Still waiting for K and the other Jpn group boys.

(OK so technically not kpop maybe but it's a Korean company so I'm counting it)

Not putting BTS’ original soundcloud songs on Spotify.. So many top tier songs there and they gave it free..

Examples

4 o’clock RMxV

Ddeng Rapline

Still with you JK (this stupid lyrics video already got 80M views)

Promise Jimin (this one too)

Tonight Jin

The biggest sin SM have while managing OT9 SNSD was not debuting Taeyeon and Jessica as a subunit, or even a duet song

They debuted TTS and release a Taeyeon-Tiffany duet in IGAB

LSM deserve 1000 years' jail for this

- Getting Weverse notifications instantly for things like merch, useless announcements, learn Korean with bts, even comments from groups I don't even follow but never for things I actually care about like bts member comments or run bts. They always come at least 2 hours late or most likely never at all.

I'm always tempted to go leave a scathing 1 star review but I doubt I'd even get a helpful response from them.

- BTS MVs are scattered all over YouTube but not once on their own channel. Their brand is instead used to promote their entire freaking label channel and it sucks always getting notifications for the million different hybe artists I could care less about.

- So much merch. And I honestly wouldn't mind but I'm poor so it's always a daily reminder of things I want but can't afford

- Collabs like On ft Sia. I honestly don't know what went on there but it seemed like they discovered too late in the album making process that the collab was ass and they had no choice but to add it anyway. Looking back, I can't believe I was ever excited for that song. My mind was blown at the possibility of my favourite artists making a song with Sia, my favourite vocalist.

-BH running out of ideas for Run bts so they just stick bts in a kitchen and hope for the best. Bts cooking is always entertaining but there's so much more they can be doing. They should just stalk armys like they always do and steal our ideas like they always do. Armys have such fun ideas for Run. Better yet they can just ask us. And I guess they tried heading in that direction with that survey they did.
