[Pann] What netizens say about Aespa performing at Coachella as the first K-pop girl group

Quote from chounim

it is all inside your head and reflects your own butthurtness and insecurity, because not a single official statement compared them with Blackpink or said they were bigger.

we're at a time where literally reporting facts as they are became "mediaplay" lmao

I agree with u for once, it's just reporting news. Do I still think they are trying to mediaplay it by being nitpicky? Yes but it's whatever lol

Wasn't talking about the official statement but about the coms of some knetz asking if Aespa is bigger than Blackpink in US, and why are they asking that? Because of SM mediaplaying The main stage thing.

I don't feel insecure lol it's a good opportunity for Aespa. Just posted about SM mediaplay that's it.

Best of luck to the girls

The title is click bait and wasnt 2NE1 main stage?

Quote from chounim

Aespa is the first kpop gg invited to perform IN THE MAIN STAGE

now keep crying about it

2NE1?

Quote from Lenalee17

This main stage thing SM is trying to mediaplay is so embarassing tbh. Yes Blackpink didn't go on the main stage but it's because Sahara (the biggest tent not stage*) was just perfect for them since it's mostly for edm and rap music, it's not some side stage lmao. The main stage is for headliners but during the day others artists are performing on it too. Last week-end there was CL, Bibi and Jackson performing there on 88rising set, does this make them bigger than Blackpink in US? lol SM is "smart" with their mediaplay because knetz don't know how is organized coachella.

Exactly..

Quote from Ves

Are we sure these are knetz

I dunno but it sounds exactly like what knetz would say

They are too blined by their company standing to see it

Its the same as when jyp mediaplay twice stadium tour and people ask if twice is bigger than bp there

Quote from Pearl-Iris

God, I don't even gaf about Aespa but the amount of negativity they are getting just for performing in Coachella is appalling to see. One would think they or SM has snatched someone's deserving spot to give them this opportunity.

SM groups eating oppas and unnies dinners for the last 4 decades

im looking forward to their stage

I hope it is live singing and look forward to the unreleased song

Also the double standard towards Blackpink

people in the past have been saying that Blackpink /YG always mediaplay as the top kpop girlngroups

But when SM and JYP mediaplay (about 1st Kpop GG to perform at coachella main stage vs side stage, largest stadium tour in US now vs years ago), so many defending them.

I'm just here for the western reactions to aespa.

Here's hoping they'll blow everyone out of the water!! (fighting!!)

Lol even knetizen know about Mediaplay. Coachella has 7 stage so every company has chance to mediplay or may be next group that gonna perform on mainstage could media play like being the first group to perform 10songs.

Reporting on new is "mediaplay" now guys! I mediaplay when I talk about GWSN all the time! Mediaplaying is my favorite hobby, I wake up and think about mediaplay, I eat mediaplay for breakfast lunch and dinner, I go to sleep and dream of good ole mediaplay

Quote from SooYoung

Where is the mediaplay here ? OMG some of you can read a definition before using a word you don't even know the meaning

Mediaplay is :

Using the media to pass off a lie or gross exaggeration about yourself as the truth

Using the media to attack your competitors or their reputation.

What the article and SM did is stating a fact they didn't lie, didn't exagerrate anything or attack a competitor.

Did BP perform on the main stage ? No

Did 2NE1 was invited by coachella ? No because only CL was and through 88rising

So, is aespa the first GG invited to perform on the main stage ? YES

Stating a fact isn't mediaplay, BREAKING NEWS you can't call whaever you want mediaplay just because you doesn't like the reaction that people give to an article made by a journalist stating fact

Aespa is performing as part of 88rising stage too. So technically they are in the same vein as CL, so they cant be first. So that's the mediaplay. Period.

But people can stilla argue 88rising invited CL not 2ne1. But we never know cause none of us are insiders. So, just be happy aespa is performing there, whether invited by coachella or not is irrelevant if u enjoy music not the bling
