I'm so happy for Yuna She will also be playing the sister of my favorite actress Park Shin-hye. I wish great success to Yuna.

Katseye is a multinational group, if you see it like this, you will understand that there is no need to categorize. Katseye is not in the kpop mold in terms of musical concept, language or style. They do not act like a kpop group, they said that they live separately and everyone stays in their own homes after their promotions are over. Since they founded a kpop company, there seems to be a cheat code, so they can promotions for Korea. But they can definitely do it because they can also play to the fan base in Korea, why wouldn't the company promote it? You can even discuss it under this title. Because the group was founded by kpop methods and a kpop company. Since they are a multinational group, they can promote it wherever they have an audience. Kpop fans call Katseye kpop whenever they want, when they don't want, they say it's not kpop, the answer is neither, you definitely don't need to categorize everything. So let's say kpop groups are not kpop groups anymore because they sing in English and promote abroad. Companies promote where their fan base is large. What's wrong with that? Why does it bother you? Katseye can promote everywhere, Korea is a part of it and they also has one korean member.

I asked Chatgpt and got the summary answer:

The main reason why JYP can't produce hits in Korea anymore is that they have lost their musical identity. In groups like ITZY and NMIXX, the songs are either too experimental or too ordinary, and they don't connect emotionally with the public. When the MVs, styling, and stage quality are also low, the first impression is ineffective. The success during the TWICE era came with the right producers, a clear identity, and melodies that the public would love. In order for JYP to break this cycle, they need to clarify their musical line, work with external producers, establish a unique image for each group, and reconnect with the public. Otherwise, they will continue to produce "good but forgotten" groups that don't reach outside the fandom.

Lara is so pretty in your avatar!

Thank you

Hitseye indeed

it's big bop, pre chorus so catchy. I love Lara siren voice in pre chorus and love Dani bridge part.

And MV is so fun to watch.

ITZY dance practice is perfect as always, their synchronization so good.

They ate live perfomance. I also loved bside Kiss and Tell, it's very catchy song.

This is definitely Bop

Finally Joylo is comeback

Because kpop gives songs that are so serious. There are no more music groups that try to be different like the Red Velvet, Blackpink and Twice trio did. This year Katseye Gnarly released a song that gave a kpop flavor, so everyone commented negatively. But kpop used to release different songs and experiments like this. Now everyone is stuck in certain cliches. Of course, it won't have the old fun anymore.

Finally we get to hear Seulgi on mujin, it's definitely a long overdue promo.

Sounds very promising so far. Reminds me of IT'Z Me era of sound wise.

ITZY looks so pretty with blonde hair color.

Sadly, yes some casual SKZ fans tend to be obsessively controlling over him in the sense of demanding he does not wear certain things or do certain stuff. They tend to be solo stans who also send hate to the rest of the group from my own experience. They gave Felix hell for complimenting and sharing a dancing video of an "overweight" independent Latin singer dancing to their song. She was not even overweight but they still got mad and used it as "Reasoning" Hyunjin is best as he will "never betray them". Like bruh y'all do not own them. They also cursed him out on live stream for cutting his hair recently as "he did not have their permission to cut his hair". I am a Stay myself and I f00kin hate that part of the fandom.

The reason Hyunjin shaved his head is probably to show that fans he is completely free. I knew how obsessed kpop fans are, so I assumed he didn't want to deal with it. They can't even compliment dance of female dancer. Kpop fandoms wasn't this toxic in past generation. Of course, there are fans who only listen for the talent and music, but unfortunately the kpop industry feeds off this toxicity.

I liked concept teaser ITZY look so cool

Quote from Elliah

He's just known to not do challenges, so other idols doing it doesn't matter At concerts fans asked for Sticky and Like Jennie many times and he dance a little on stage, but the Tiktoks never dropped even though the entire industry posted them.

Like Mina said, only Yeji seem to have the power

If he has obsessive fans, maybe that's why he doesn't want to deal with the negativity. They don't see Yeji as an enemy or a threat because fans see her as Hyunjin's sister. Or maybe he is truly an introvert and that's why he doesn't do dance challenge people outside his close circle.
