The songs enhance the viewing experience, and they are well integrated into the flow of the movie. Usually musicals take you out of the story and provide a space for the characters to sing.

I actually think that's one of it's strongest point

I usually get bored to have to spend 2 min in a 2h movie listening to people singing

Most of the time when i watch disney i skip the singing section cuz they are to me kinda of a filler thing

While honestly in this movie the "musical" section didn't feel burdensome and were flowing with the rest of the movie

Because the theme of the movie is kpop so it feel kinda natural to see them singing

And even if i didn't like some songs it wasn't just here to be "here" but the song was a central part of the movie and actually serve the purpose of making the story evolve

For example i think the song is takedown ? ( I watched in french so the songs were also translated which was disappoiting so i don't know the exact name in the us version)

I didn't like the song but because the creation of the song, the message, and the way it was included in the movie was a big part of the storyline

It didn't make me want to skip it when it started to play like i can do with disney song most of the time

Not sure what counts as nugu but Pentagon or LIGHTSUM, if they count.

I'm already an Universe since "Shine" era

But i think they are pretty much disbanded

And i never really liked any lightsum song

Quote from bartkun

I liked TRI.BE and Rocket Punch but both groups disbanded

Don't twist the knife in the wound

I was obsess with Tri.be and Rocket punch

Rocket punch had one of the best discography when they debuted

Red punch is such a good EP

They had so much potential 😭😭😭😭

Honestly I feel bad for Famous.

I think it couldve been at the top for way longer if they released any other time of the year

And just like that because of timing of Blackpink and demon hunter songs rising they might be on their way out of the top 3 now.

HOnestly i doubt Blackpink will be able to pass ADP on Melon

ADP popularity seems pretty crazy in korea, most of their performance have +1 M view in just few days

And it's still gaining the same amount that BP is gaining when their release is older and should have "stabilize" after all these weeks

A lot of drag queen from Rupaul drag race have a music career on the side

Do you listen to some of them ?

I don't usually listen to drag queen music cuz most of the time they do electronic music or just music that feels to autotune

But PICHE from Drag rance France is killing it

All of her songs have been amazing

And it's great to see a Drag queen trying to take over the rap world that is so male dominated

If you don't know Piche i sugget you to give a try to some of her songs

I used to like nugu group in 2nd gen ( sunny hill etc...)

But since 3rd-4th gen big companies have been releasing groups like they are a manufacture

And it's kinda overwhelming, so with the times i only listen to big 4 + cube, starship group

But recently i discover Xlov and it made me think that it's maybe time for me to get back giving a chance to nugu group

SO WHO'S YOUR FAVORITE NUGU GROUP AND RECOMMEND ME THEIR BEST SONG THAT WOULD MAKE ME STAN THEM !!

Yeah the toxic boyfriend/ex lyrics

Why people are obsess of making mashup to ruin songs that are already good enough on their own

Quote from Yama-Chan

Charts are absolutely everything to you. You talk about it more than me, and you are deeply upset when your expectations get crushed by the harsh reality.

Clearly I hit a bullseye given how emotional you're getting over the mere suggestion you have some ulterior motives. Especially since I also now remember how mad you were that people roasted Taeyeon for her comments about the movie.

Yep, it all makes perfect sense now.

Also, give me some random who's obsessed with charts over a person who just can't possibly fathom why other people loved something they didn't.

Omg you're so dumb i can't

Did i say that i can't accept that people love this movie

Your reading comprehension is seriously lacking

I clearly said that i didn't find bad neither very good and i was neutral about it, and my thread was only asking for people opinion about this movie and what's the thing they like about this movie to be obsess

If people likes it or hate it, it's their opinion i'm not gonna judge them about it

I'm just here to discuss a MOVIE !!

LMAOOO trust me nobody is more obsess about charts than you, i mean look at this

We are all just sharing our opinions about a movie that i didn't even say i dislike

But you're the only person here who still find a way to talk about chart in a thread who have no link to chart

Talk about chart obsess !

Quote from nasdadwg

songs are good, movie is ok but boring. i couldn't watch more than 30 minutes. Most kdramas are more interesting

I wouldn't say boring

It actually was a good way to spend my time

I didn't have a really bad time watching it

But like someone mention i think some scenes were cut

And you can feel it in the way the movie flow

One of the thing that honestly made me hard to me to really enjoy the movie

Is that i liked none of the characters cuz none of them had any depth or backstory

I thought Rumi had potential

But the lack of development of her backstory was something that really made it hard to enjoy the movie cuz it was hard to understand her motive

I get that she's part demon part human but she hate her demon part

But i would have love to get more information about how her parents meets ? if she hates demon so much does it mean that she hates her own father ? How she was educate to hate herself ?

So much questions left unnotice

Quote from Yama-Chan

Wait a second.

Are you actually just upset HUNTR/X is stepping on aespa on every chart and using this thread to vent your frustrations?

Oh please

Go put your finger in a n electrical outlet maybe it'll finally create an electric current in your brain to reactivate your braincells

I literally said in this same thread that i actually find Golden very good as a song

And unlike you, charts aren't everything

I watched a movie about KPOP that make the Kpop community talk about it

So it's pretty normal to make a Thread to share My opinion about this movie and discuss it with other Kpop fans who watch it

Quote from Tru-Multistan

The music and animation are really good, and its just a fun time with all the kpop references. Its really not very deep, I think people can recognize the pacing issues and problems with the story but still have a great time watching.

Actually i thought the kpop side of the movie would make it great

But imo it was so under utilise, they could have show more about what being a kpop idol means

i feel like as a kpop fans i found it underwhelming but also i felt like the movie made a misleading representation of the kpop world and idol life

Quote from z1

The hype is most regarding the OST and song released. Even though they are technically a fictional group and should not be compared to actual kpop ggs (and some chart accounts do not) but the OSTs are pretty good.

The movie itself is really not on the same level as the good animation movies like Coco, HTTYD. But these days good movies are becoming more and more scarce

Tbh i find the OST songs pretty bland

The only good song from this movie is Golden and that's it

Quote from OnehoeforWonho

For me, I actually didn't really like the movie when I watched it, it felt too choppy and like nothing was fleshed out. We didn't even get a proper enemies to lovers arc with Rumi and Jinu, we didn't flesh out the other characters and I wanted to have seen the place where Rumi grew up and how she was raised to hate demons. Allegedly the movie was meant to be much longer than it was and it showed that they cut a lot of scenes.

But the songs are just so good and I couldn't get them out of my head, and then I started seeing edits of the characters and lore videos on the movie and idk now I'm excited for a movie 2 which will probably come out in 9th gen...

Bottom line, the songs make the movie.

The storyline is honestly a big mess

- first of all the jinu rumi love story came out of nowhere there was no development to it

- jinu motive are so dumb, he's doing all of this to forget his memory to the point that he's ready to sacrifice himself because it can set him free

In this case he should have let rumi kill him

- the 2 other members zoey and the red hair girl ( just the fact that i don't remember her name is a proof of how underwhelming and underutilize they were) background could have been explore more

Cuz they are presented as strong people, who went through a hard training and are positive etc...and then it took 2 seconds for them to go to the dark side

- i thought that we would get a flashback to understand how a demon can make a baby with a hunter which would have been interesting and give more substance to the story

But i never got the answer

I think i don't disagree with people calling it a kids movie

It's an animated movie where most of the gag in it didn't make me laugh at all and were clearly targeted to a younger audience.

Plus the plot lacked of substance and depth would be hard to enjoy if you are use to watch movie, while a kid i think could enjoy it without thinking about all these things

ALSO BIG MINUS TO ME

I thaught that it was cool that an anime was talking about kpop idol

But even this was badly executed

They are so good

And the song is a bop !!!!

And i have one thing to say

EXPLAIN ME WHY ARE YOU ALL SO OBSESS WITH THIS MOVIE ???

Looking at people comment here defending this movie with all their strenght

I thought it was going to be sooo good

And turns out it's just like any other animation movie

Clearly not on the level of a pixar or disney movie

Not bad not good, just neutral but i wouldn't want to watch it a second time and it's probably not a movie i'll remember at the end of the month

Congrats

Ningning is also the new ambassador of the skincare brand Dr.Jart

Quote from Taemin-Identity

I would say for them to use that money on ads on different promotion style for Babymonster.

Like yeah yt ads are good, but over 100m ad views are excessive and bring little result. YG could use that money on different promotion style like Playlisting on Spotify, TikTok deals paying twitch streamers and so and on, which would bring more exposure imo.

I don’t think there is a big difference in bringing fans with 20-30m ad views compared to 100m+ ad views.

Probably cuz Youtube is the one who reach the wider audience

I don't use spotify, i use amazon music

And i don't watch streamers so i don't care what they are doing or saying

Tik tok is influence by what you're watching, i like kpop but i never use tik tok to consume kpop content only to look at decorations and recipes

While Youtube is pretty much the only thing where you're sure to reach all the kpop stans and more

Cuz even if you listen to your music on spotify or watch streamer or look at tik tok

You always comeback to youtube when you're looking at your favs new MV

Cuz Ytb is the only place where you can consume idols mv as product

So immediately if you watch 2-3 mv, you end up getting a baby monster ad

I think ytb ads will always be a thing cuz in comparison of tik tok which have an equivalent with youtube shorts, or instagram reels

Or spotify who also have their equivalent with deezer, itunes, amazon music, ytb music etc....

Youtube have no equivalent, every kpop group use ytb to share their content and MV

So all the kpop fans at one point are interacting with a kpop content on ytb

So you have better chance to reach a bigger audience imo through youtube than spotify or tiktok etc...and that's why some companies go so hard on ads

Honestly it just show how 2025 is a really weak for kpop

The #1 song on circle is a 2023 song

And even for GG 3/4 of the top 4 gg song on circle are songs released in 2024 by gg

Unless we got a big surprise in September, 2025 would have been the weakest year for kpop ever
