I love her vocals and obviously love her rap. Her vocals are so underrated. I've hated both songs but her vocals/rap are what kept those songs from being 0 out of 10.

And i agree overall - it was insane to think she would just randomly open up a dance academy in Thailand the second she left YG. Why would she have busted ass for 15 years in a foreign country, learn a brand new culture and language, just to open up a rando dance academy in Thailand? This is something she can do when she is ready to settle down and leave the pop music grind.

Nothing wrong with Lisa's choreo but the hate on Kiel was ridiculous. Dude has come up with the best choreos in Kpop.

Who is that? And why is he being compared to Nicolas Cage?

Some rando former BG member named Hui i think. They have a collab single out right now.

I think he's supposed to resemble Cage facewise. I kinda see it tbh.

Their song isnt bad, the performance was fun, but he's nowhere near good enough for mah girl Eunbi.

Quote from Jasque-O-Part2

Still not older than the senior singer

But be honest...i bet you had to look it up right? Cause i did the exact same thing lol.

4th Gen Leader Eunbi is old enough to be noona to Jungkook, Jimin and V.

4th Gen Leader Eunbi is older than all of Twice except Nayeon, who is only five days older than her.

4th Gen Leader Eunbi is older than all of Gfriend.

The only Jiwoo i know is the one from NMIXX and who in Sam hill is Youngseo?

I still think this is a mistake by Teddy. He's got Somi and Izona to make music for, Somi and Rosie to manage for. That's three acts. already. Adding a whole new group where he has to do both is gonna be really taxing and risky.

If he would just be patient, he could have a chance to manage New Jeans next year. Far more preferable than debuting a brand new group.

Quote from bangmenah

Like these songs are so relevantly good, and they still feel kind of true to BlackPink in some way.

And this collab is way better than ANY collab theyve done before. Like this song is so good… the Spanish chorus? YG could literally never

Lisa literally had the two worst BP solo songs ever conceived of with the Rockstar travesty and this New Woman horror. These songs combined are a 5 out of 20 on the 10 point scale.

Lalisa cleared both of them and it wasnt even close omg.

This seriously threatens my prediction of New Jeans being managed by Teddy by sometime next year

If this group blows up on debut, i would consider it the first true 5th gen act. Izon-a is another contender for 5th Gen pioneer.

Sieun the only one that stood out to me before (her stage presence and her English skills) but now she's turning into even more of a visual.

Terribly boring repetitive song overall (Rosalia is utterly generic too) but i loved listening to Lisa sing, which is the only reason this gets a 3 out of 10. Still a flop though.

Compare this repetitive nonsense with an actual song that has actual progression and interesting changeups like Lalisa and it aint even close.

I see nothing being a threat to it currently. It would have a straight streak of #1s on circle weekly chart too if not for the BG mass downloads

Circle depends too much on stuff like that. It's a chart meant to estimate the income earned by songs (1 million Gaon points equals 1 million KRW earned), not which songs are actually the most popular.

As someone who was born in and spent most of his formative years in Korea, with grandparents who lived through the occupation, i will offer my two cents :

Koreans need to let this go.

Everyone that was responsible for the occupation is dead. They're gone. It's been 80 years since the occupation which lasted 35 years. How much longer is Korea gonna hold onto this? We've got Communist China building 1000000s of drones, missiles, and ships, North Korea insanity, and Russia's Pacific Fleet lurking. Instead of letting the past stay in the past, we've got Korea still frozen in time, still letting things that happened three generations ago materially impact the literal survival of the entire country. NOW is the time to move forward, to address these threats, to unify Korea and Japan with America in a three nation security pact.

It's a losing battle i know. My words will fall on deaf ears. Koreans are intent on wasting time obsessing over the past and jeopardizing their national security. The way my parents, esp my dad, still talk about Japan makes it clear. Stuff like Felix having to apologize for A LITERAL NOTHING BURGER makes it clear.

My homeland is amazing in so many ways, so effing amazing, yet there are certain things inherent in Korean culture that will prevent them from ever achieving greatness.

This whole thread is fascinating because we're seeing literal arch enemies rallying around each other. I see Onces and Tokkis and Mys banding together in one corner, then you got Armies and EXO-Ls banding together on the other side.

That's what happens when you partake in the oldest conflict in human history - men vs womyn

Can we all at least agree that the toxicity is expressed in different ways depending on whether you're a male or female?

Toxic male GG stans generally fall into two categories: obsessive creepy uncle fans who fantasize over young girls and trolls who like to incite fanwars.

Toxic female BG stans generally fall into two categories: obsessive stalkery saesangs and Twitter shooters who trash rival fans and groups on social media.

Toxic male stans can actually become physically dangerous, while toxic female stans hurt idols in a more insidious way (hate comments impacting mental health).

For the love of God, just call them Glitters.

Quote from sveznalica

Ohhh the name dropping... is there any troll who is a woman????? Are we all with jobs?

The MHJ fan, Tatiana, is the only one i can think of. I think one of the veteran trolls who isnt around much these days is also a woman but i cant remember which one (teshubs, Seulgiabs, or someone from that era of AKP lol).

Song is just a massive bop in every way. I always have a hard time picking an actual #1 SOTY instead of a SOTY contender, but this one is right up there along with Off the Record.

Quote from vzal

Most popular member in lesser known groups like Gugudan, OMG, April is better than being the least popular in top groups like RV and Mamamoo. Who do you think is more relevant in Korea: Sejeong and Arin or Wendy/Yeri and Moonbyul?

Sejeong didnt get her fame from Gugudan though, it was all from IOI and Produce which was clearly very popular at the time - she was a popular idol from popular group. And using Arin as another example is sus as well - OMG is top 5 of all 3rd gen groups behind only BP, RV, TW, and MMM. She is the most popular member of one of the most popular groups.

Quote from kazuyakamenashi

I would too. But as a Korean man I know doing that would result in serious consequences, so I didn't. I hope yoongi didn't do this and it's just people being mad and making stuff up. But if it's true then yes he'd be a disgrace and will face some serious consequences. Falting your duty is a guarantee career killer nobody has ever survived that. The last idol that did that not only was kicked but even got exiled from the country where he spent 25yrs crying about coming home taking 3 un requests for him being allowed back in . The Korean government finally became not petty enough to let him in

Very damn true.

Folks may question the veracity of my opinions on Korean culture because i left there when i was a kid and naturalized here many many years ago.

But i feel very confident in reiterating everything said in this post.

99 percent of what we Kpoppies like to argue about, whether it's LSRFM vocal scandal, NJ-Hybe scandal, Snowdrop scandal, Karina BF scandal, Wonyoung-Leeseo lipsync scandal, etc etc, has absolutely no relevance to the actual GP in Korea. Regular Mr and Mrs Kim dont care about none of that, if they like the song, they'll like the song.

But this military stuff is extremely sensitive. Extremely.

If he used his status to shirk his responsibilities in any way, it could result in a legit boycott of BTS in Korea and permanently damage them - there will be headlines EVERYWHERE and even 90 year old grammies who've never watched a single Kpop video will know of it. Especially since folks will already be biased against him for getting the special service exemption no matter how legitimate his reason for getting one was.

I am praying this isnt true for Suga's sake.

Love this topic tbh, even when this forum was at its peak you barely saw any fighting between 4th gen stans. That was a solid indicator that 4th gen BGs just didnt have the same overwhelming popularity of their 2nd and 3rd gen seniors. The Bigbang/BTS/EXO fanwars were probably gigantic in scope in the old days, rivaling the Blink-Once-Army fanwars.

But nothing remotely comparable has happened for 4th gen BGs. Where are the epic 4th gen fanwars between SKZ, Ateez, Riize, Zerobaseone, Txt, Enhypen, and Treasure fans?

It's a shame though because there has been some great music from 4th gen BGs including Mixtape #2 by Stray Kidz, Hello by Treasure, Lovesong by TXT, etc.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

Man that group was full of visuals, dare I say the most visually appealing bg in kpop history!

I will never discount my conspiracy theory that the entire Produce scandal was motivated by Big4 companies that didnt want their precious new BGs to have to compete against another massive Produce group like X1 was fixing to be. They were afraid of another WannaOne type group stealing the hype from their new BGs or planned upcoming BGs like SKZ, NCT, Treasure, TXT, Enhypen, etc.
