they ate omg

Quote from Jasmine_Waters

Set Me Free is a bop and the only people who retort to this tried narrative are success stans.

Or some people just don't like it? It's subjective and not everyone is going to like it.. For me I thought Talk that Talk was really good but this song is just kinda meh, and their success has nothing to do with that (considering they both aren't doing too well on the charts)

Im ready for Taeyeon

Quote from Daisy_Queen

I didn't criticize the members but it is very hypocritical to kick him and keep Ravi. Whether it's because Ravi is more popular or the main producer, idk

Hongbin has written multiple apology letters, did a 2 hour long Livestream apologizing while crying and has apologized numerous after. He's apologized more over that livestream than I've seen from idols getting into actual scandals. To say this is really something incredibly defining of his character off screen and something worth being removed for is just always gonna be an extreme I disagree with, especially when that zero tolerance isn't spread evenly across the board

The crazy thing about the whole Hongbin situation is that I feel like the whole scandal could've easily blown over.. Like the scandal happened in 2020 and Vixx's last comeback had been in 2018 and there was like no attention on them at the time (and they still haven't even made a comeback since then and it's already 2023). Like the thing is, he didn't even do anything illegal, all he did was have bad behavior. I remember thinking are they really kicking him out because of this lol this is gonna pass so easily if they just let it be. I honestly was kinda thinking he didn't wanna be an idol anymore and used that as an out because the scandal felt so miniscule to me. To compare, the Irene thing happened soon after Monster, and Red Velvet (and in particular Irene) had way more attention on them at the time. Her scandal was freaking ginormous and although the situations were different, they both just had bad behavior and didn't do anything illegal. Yet Irene still was able to stay.. There is no doubt in my mind that Hongbin could've stayed and everything would be fine for the group. I honestly even feel like his individual reputation wouldn't be tarnished like Irene's is. Like any activity relating to her is quiet sans Red Velvet nowadays, and she used to have CFs and brand deals left and right back then.

Paradise and Expectations seem the most interesting to me so far

But that's exactly my point. It is not a friend like behavior. That's a colleague like behavior. A "friend" wouldn't feel pressured to leave and "friends" wouldn't allow him to leave. It definitely sounds like getting kicked out by colleagues for me. And tbh it is not a topic I'd wanna argue, it is up for everyone's personal interpritation and this is mine. Everyone else is free to have their own conclusion.

Well if your friends found out you did something bad and they don't agree with that, then I can see how even friends could draw a boundary and say we're not gonna stand with that and ultimately decide to kick you out (For example, not sure if Seungri left BB or they kicked him out but they would be fully in the right to kick him out and cut ties imo). Whether they were actually friends or just colleagues though not sure.. They truly did seem close to me though because of their rough beginnings, the whole Hyunseung thing (which was a whole mess and when a member leaves a group on bad terms I would imagine the rest become closer and try to stay together like with SNSD), and then leaving Cube and creating their own brand and new name and everything, but who knows.

Is O the title?

I feel like it would be Hwasa as she's had multiple successful songs not just one. Everyone else that's been named (Nayeon, Jennie, Rose, Lisa) has only had one successful song.

Why though?? They really had a chance to get big but they didn't really follow up with it

Yeah ofc, It's unreasonable to expect people that don't have a certain language as their primary language to sound like it's their native language. I think the only issues I have is when the English grammatically doesn't make sense (not necessarily the idols' fault as it could be the fault of the producers/lyricists), and/or when the idols' accent is so strong I can't understand what they're trying to say. I wouldn't blame them for this exactly, but it is something that could just be coached and fixed during recording imo.

I really don't get why people argue over who makes more money lmao.. it's so pointless

Shouldn't 12:30 by Beast be in 2014? It came out then

Snsd in 2015, I saw Lionheart for the first time and was like ehh this is ok at first, but then it got stuck in my head and I went back to listen to it and then got into Snsd, and then eventually other groups

Who is Sojang?

I listen to and appreciate music alot more than I do performances so definitely great music mediocre performances

I doubt it as they are doing really well as 5 currently but I guess it could happen

Quote from uwuwu-99

I think Beyond love is going to surpass it.

It's looking like it might not pass INVU either, I'm guessing 10 for Beyond Love, 11 for INVU, and 12 for FMR

Probably Celebrate

I thought their upcoming album is a full one?

Quote from Lulu_Key

well I think this is his solo debut album

While singles were nice, we have been wanting a proper album for so long so the plagiarism saga is completed.

Ahhh gotcha hehe
