....

maybe WJSN The Black

or WJSN Chocome could make a comeback in right time

WJSN The black-Bona is maybe focusing on acting after her successful kdrama acting stint.

WJSN Chocome might be difficult as Luda didn't re-sign for individual but maybe considered for full group activities but is considered still part of WJSN/Chocome, while Yeoreum is in ELZ 7UP or however it's spelt. Even tho no sign of activity there either rn.

Maybe a new subunit-Dayoung, yeonjung & Soobin+Eunseo maybe? But SSE seem to be more invested in their new gg(I stan IVE so no complaints from me there) but...if wishes were horses I'd wish WJSN could comeback soon!

I couldn't believe my ears when they sang: honk honk hit the klaxon, soyeon can't be for real, we are accustomed to cringe lyrics on kpop but this one feels so off

Not every song can be Bob Dylan-esque Nobel Prize winning lyrical masterpiece(I believe Dylan himself wrote some clunkers <possibly?>)

For a contemporary kpop song, in Soyeon's non native language, I can accept Klaxon as an attempt at a summer bop. Whether it's a clunker or not, ... ahh the lyrics don't make sense to me but hey, it's popping up on lots of youtube shorts in my timeline rn. Maybe just let it be if you can't accept it. Lots of non kpop lyrics sound more cringe (or just as much) AND were far more successful-eg Wannabe by Spice Girls for one.

We all knew it

But even if i hate HYBE, she doesn't need to act like if the group was disbanded it's only because of HYBE

because half of the group still find a way to stay together because they wanted to continue GFRIEND as a group

If the other girl didn't want to disband they could also follow the 3 other members and form VIVIZ

Quote from SooYoung

First of all i'm not judging her, i'm just saying that she implied that if Gfriend disbanded it's only because of the company

So i'm adding more nuance to her sentence by saying that Gfriend could have their contract terminated by Source Music

But it doesn't mean Gfriend had to disband, they could have all follow the VIVIZ members and continue as 6 members

I disagree people would have sign them because as a group they were a big name in korea

They could have continue to promote as a group and continue their solo career on the side it's what everybody does

Highlight left cube and they continue to promote as a group and do solo career

I just think that if they have disbanded it's in party of HYBE but also cuz of the members too

It's obvious that some of of them wanted to go solo and didn't want to be gfriend anymore or promote as a group

If they were offer to join viviz or not ??

I mean met's not be naive

Viviz members talk about how they talk with each other when their contract was terminated, and sharing their vows of continue as a group

Do you really think only the three of them had this discussion ? They probably had the discussion with all the members asking them if they were interested and then they could search for an agency that would accept them

But the 3 other members probbaly told them that they wanted to pursue a solo career and give up on their idols career

That's why only the 3 members of VIVIZ looked for an agency that would accept to sign them

Historically, SHINHWA from SM split becos a member wasn't offered to re-sign, n the leader decided he would risk everything to keep 'em as 6(afaicr).

SNSD did not all re-sign with SM in 2017, n it took 5 yrs for release as full group in 2022. Now only half left in SM(No one knows if there'll be another OT8 release in future-2027?).

Tats even supposing all 6 members of Gfriend could hv found arrangement/agreement to stay as 6-it's kinda pointless if it takes 5 yrs till next release, ie 2027(?)

Apink, mamamoo, exid, BEG, BP as other examples where mmembers kinda continued as gg(just read only eunji remains signed rn tho, so not sure if apink officially disbanded/hiatus/inactive. Also not sure abt exid.) after solo activities out of original company(contrast with SouMu after HYBE acquisition, we still don't hv a official statement if HYBE offered any contract to remain as 6Friend or not)

At least this way(after HYBE non renewal), VIVIZ is active as 3 member gg, Yuju n Yerin hv solos, n Sowon can study n train as actress(as SONE n buddy, I can agree tat gfriend =/= SNSD level when renewal/attrition/last comeback(not counting 15 yr anniversary cb) just my opinion/0.02$[not even US, S.E.A unit of currency in my country 😀.

Quote from Drew_B

Blackpink became the biggest girl group of all time DURING BTS prime so why did she have so little faith that her own group could do the same? What's with the insecurities?

She should have been waiting with the rest of BTS to greet Jin. That would have helped her image with ARMY.

Westerners (and mostly westernised Asians, of whom I am one also-albeit in S.E.A.) might not realise how shamans (and traditional Eastern beliefs) are fully ingrained in some Asians. Frex, feng shui and Chinese fortune-telling.

I dont even believe in either, and it's perfectly normal to consult/ask advice from experts. If you watch the mentalist: Simon Baker's character encapsulates the techniques(if you're forgiving/innocent you might even believe there's no trickery on the expert's behavior, maybe they're a natural talent for it).

I seem to remember the reference was to B*S being otherwise occupied when MHJGG was due to debut and the shaman positively encouraging her that the debut wouldn't be impinged because the enlistment was on(and would go ahead for sure). I don't remember all the deets now, but it sure seemed then tat MHJ was seeking reassurance tat enlistment wouldn't suddenly not go ahead and affect her gg debut, that's all. If she was asking more, it wouldn't surprise me with how some of my older relatives(even tho MHJ is younger than me) are about fortune telling/traditional eastern practices.

Less so now with most or all the younger Asians I know, but for certain age it's still pertinent to a certain point. The question still remains how much MHJ let it affect her thinking/planning.

Dahyun is so funny

Tzuyu is pronounced differently in Chinese and Korean

Quote from selfmate

I'm not that familiar obviously with korean but it seems like there is not equivalent for zhi and yu sounds in korean

(disclaimer: i can neither read nor write in chinese or korean) - in chinese, it's 周子瑜

(Zhōuzi yú); in korean - 쯔위 (jjeuwi) so that's why there's 2 ways to pronounce her name. (Being chinese diaspora and all, im slightly more familiar with the chinese name, tho im hokkien <but english speaking/thinking>) a slight reversal is (G)I-DLE's Yuqi who is yu-chi [i aint goin' to wikipedia/google translate again for her] n woogi in korean.

Kim Jong-wan (NELL) always seemed similar to Ed Sheeran to me, because they both made great songs and seem popular with the general public but never made inroads to kpop/pop fandoms, so to speak.
