It’s just different culture. Celebrities in the west get away with tons of stuff, that may not affect their career. While in SK is very strict.
Plus kpop groups live in dorms, with handlers (managers), often have to ask for permission to leave (or sneak out) etc etc.
When your a child star with money, no one can say no to you. Not your parents, not your company, so they tend to go down bad paths. Plus drugs etc, just aren’t as frowned upon in west vs SK.
i would rather use a stage name if i was in their position. Helps with searches and it separates their personal life from public life a bit.
I think TxT ruined kpop names. They know they will be called H2H so they don't really care how Hearts 2 Hearts rolls off the tongue.
TxT sounds good, but no one actually spells out of pronounces their full name and i'd wager it will be the same for H2H. I personally don't think kpop companies should get away with this lazy naming, but whatever.
yeah definitely a lack of energy, but then again, its if a training sessinon, it could be weird going at 100% next to someone going 25% lol.
Im trying to hold off any judgement of the groups till debut.
If im history of dragging Giselle during Aespa debut era is any indication, i'll try to be as fair as possible with talent and skills of this select 8
Blame HYBE. SM is realizing HYBE fully intends to oversaturate the market with their multiple labels. This is clearly SM responding to that. Bigger labels have the brand recognition and money to market, so over saturation doesn’t affect them, due to their groups being pushed to the top.
Oversaturation only really hurts smaller groups. But like we’ve seen with kiof, smaller groups can still push through to the mainstream.
I think SM had already come to this conclusion with NCT, we are just seeing it in action now.
Also is this the best looking JYP BG? 
I actually don't think its that bad. The beat is good, the start of the song is great, but then they lose it around the chorus and the 2nd verse on is just bad.
Good idea, poor execution in my opinion. Feel like its a beat that needs to be more rap focused, but they tried to be both rap and kpop at the same time, and it just made the song unremarkable.
I think it’s just how companies view kpop. Either you get viral/popular from debut, or it’s nugudome forever.
So JYP doesn’t see much more progress happening for their current groups, so they need a chance at a smashing #1 group again.
Objectively having a top group in Twice (3rd gen) and Stray Kids (4th gen) is fine. It’s a decent record tons of other kpop companies would kill for.
Just goes to show you, that performances matter, especially to GGs to rely so much on their public perception.
They put too much money/effort into it already, probably had the real person to play Naevis under contract and realized they had to follow through or they wasted the money.
i think it’s a cool idea, just shouldn’t have been attached to Aespa.
i mean, there is gonna be a long court fight. They 100% aren’t keeping the name. Maybe Ador can work out a deal for royalties so that can perform old songs.
But honestly, groups cover groups songs all the time, so i wonder if they can freely “cover” their own songs for concerts (maybe never perform on broadcast)
i mean, it just sounds like something a western GG would release. It’s inappropriate for kpop standards, but just regular sexually suggestive western music.
I think it ruins their image a bit in kpop, but maybe HYBE is aiming for western success.
I mean, they are kinda already stepped in it, so might as well go all in.
Like the alluded to, they are perfectly fine losing the NewJeans IP and starting over. They are still young and can still have a good career.
If they started over and redebut, they'd be around the age Aespa was when they debut/Black Mamba era, and look where Aespa's career is now. If Ador doesn't meet demands, starting over might be the move.
Display MoreYes. its addictive and my little sister also plays it non-stop
but we're reffering to WHO right?
