I think Kiss of Life is up there. Also confused, not a MY but how is Aespa stuck in a rut? Aren't they on a roll?

It was a great album but it wasn't very memorable. Every single song was so beautiful but after listening to it, none of it stuck with me other than the promoted singles. I loved all the songs she promoted (APT, Number One Girl, Toxic Till The End), as well as all the B-Sides, but if asked to hum or sing a tune I won't be able to recall any of them other than APT.

I'm someone who wasn't really onboard with Babymonster. I like the group and the members are charismatic, but felt their entire concept was too try-hard for me. Their music wasn't to my taste either (Batter Up, Sheesh). I was ready to write them off. Even if the group had everything I wanted apart from the music, then it's still a no go for me.
However, ever since Forever, I've actually really been liking their music, and actually enjoyed almost every single track on the album. Drip is a bop, so is Love, Maybe, Love in My Heart, Billionaire, Really Like You and every other track on the album. I love this direction that they're going in, with dancey, R&B pop.
I HATED (not just disliked) Batter Up, and somehow, when listening to the remix on the album, I actually found it SO good and was bopping to it. Like it went from a -10 to at least an 8/10 and I can't believe it's even the same song. I've never turned around on a song so much before. Even the lyrics that I found so cringey when I first heard it somehow became palatable and boppy. It's crazy,

Lisa. I feel she really loves what she does and never gives anything but her full effort. We probably will never REALLY know what celebrities are like but every interaction I've seen between her and other people suggests that she's kind, sweet & positive. I also feel saddened that despite being unproblematic, staying in her lane and doing her best, she gets constantly attacked for doing nothing wrong. In the end, I feel her actions speak louder than words. Everyone was saying she's a non-musician and would probably retire/become a dance teacher after Blackpink, and yet she's proven them all wrong by becoming the most active member (by far), but musically and in other areas.

She reminds me of Thailand's Prime Minister

The documentary was a pretty bad move. It just casts this negative vibe over the whole group and now when I look at them I just feel sadness and negativity. It feels like the final days of CLC when I was watching their variety series and the members just seem down and tired. It really drags down the mood and made it tiring as a stan to feel positive about the group because when I see them on stage I just think about how they're forcing themselves to smile.

The chances she will be a "global star" is like 5% and I'm a bit generous with that. She is a kpop star, that is a totally different thing. It of cource depends on how you define the concept "global star". I say the same thing about CL, it's the same for Lisa even if I thing Lisa have a bigger chance maybe.
it took Sabrina Carpenter & Chappell Roan 10 years. For her first post-YG single, the results are actually really good. Very, VERY few idols could've achieved the same result. I don't know why they expect Lisa to become a megastar on her very first try. Is she that powerful?

Nah, talking complete nonsense just to try to get a rise out of me is jobless behavior on your part.
You're only proving that you can't be trusted to speak the truth.
Hag acts like Guns n Roses can also sell out arena tours in 2024 but that doesn't mean they're relevant.
In any case Im so happy Onces are still there to attend their concerts because it'd be so sad if Jihyo comes out again moping that nobody likes anything they do lmao
In the meantime it'd be great if you can keep idols who are actually still relevant and getting jobs out of your mouth as Onces & their idols enjoy the rest of their days in the retirement home (like Jongyeon said - enjoy them as if it's your last! Who knows how long they got left lol)

You'll get over it.
Kinda like the rest of the world with Twice, but here we are.
Onces being jobless just like their idols.

Come on now. Her relationship is far from unproven. There's more evidence for her relationship at this point than there is evidence for the moon landing (take that as you will.) If you can't even admit they're together after all this time, how can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you deny the accusations of her using those connections to her benefit?
I don't know why Lisa stans insist on making this about everyone else's "faves." I couldn't care less if any of my favorite idols promote this brand, so they're completely irrelevant to this discussion. It also doesn't matter if you happen to think she's "qualfied for the role." If a CEO hires a relative for a well-paying position because of their familial connection, and they turn out to be highly competent at doing their job, guess what, that's still nepotism. I'm just pointing out the obvious.
I hate to break it to you, but there are far more globally relevant celebrities and brand endorsers in the world than Lisa of Blackpink.
This is such a ridiculous thing to say. OK, if we're to assume that Lisa is dating LVMH heir, does this mean that she can no longer work with any LVMH brands otherwise that's nepotism? LVMH owns the vast majority of the luxury industry. Lisa has singlehandedly catapulted Celine into becoming a leading luxury brand, you don't think other fashion houses would be clamoring to have her represent them?
You want us to believe that such a brand (or any brand for that matter) wouldn't want to have THE Lisa - who generated 40% of the EMV for the entire fashion week season, representing them? You want us to believe that were it not for her personal relationship, she would not be able to secure such a brand ambassadorship? That just sounds delusional.
Louis Vuitton has offered ambassadorships to much less famous celebrities. They've even offered work to nugu idols like Nayeon who is practically unknown outside her fandom (she literally attended the same event as Lisa, Felix & Hyein but got zero mention from the brand, so perhaps her impact is negligible). It fair to say that even in comparison to other luxury brands, Louis Vuitton gives out their ambassadorships quite generously. The bar isn't particularly high.
I don't know if you're just saying things to be intentionally malicious, or if you're genuinely ignorant but it's so misogynistic to assume that the only way a highly accomplished woman in her own right, with both the talent and fan popularity to back up her success, is due to having personal relations with a man. You seem like someone who'd gladly mock Lisa for being jobless if she wasn't doing anything, but once she does have things going on, be it signing with a music label or starring in an Emmy-warded series - turn around and accuse her of achieving those things due to 'nepotism'. It's so deeply disgusting.

I think it's sad that when Lisa (someone far more famous than many idols currently representing LV) gets an official ambassadorship, other fandoms are so fast to slutshame her and accuse her of implicitly using (currently unproven) relationship to get the deal.
Everyone honest with themselves know she's more valuable to the brand and will generate more impact than their faves, so she's obviously more than qualified for the role yet she's the only one being treated this way. It just reeks of jealousy, misogyny and insecurity.

I don't really understand the controversy. Here are the 2 encores for references.

Then because of some posts, everyone has changed their mind and say it sounds bad??? Like???
It sounded fine to me - good even.

For reference, NMIXX is seen as the standard for good encore. Here are the 2 best NMIXX encores:

Both groups are talented so I'm a bit surprised why they're being extra harsh on KIOF. It seems like everyone is judging KIOF on a different standard. People seem to expect Big 4 quality from them (which they've been giving - at times even better than Big 4 groups), but forget they're from a tiny, TINY nugu company where they're the only group with maybe less than 5% of the budget.

If they were being graded, I'd say Twice is a consistently good student in the B+, A- range, whereas Blackpink are the kids who sometimes get an A+ (more often than Twice) and sometimes get a C (also more often than Twice). But Blackpink on their A+ days are definitely in a league of their own.
On the other hand, I'd say Lisa is the most consistent who's always in the A-A+ range, and never below an A-. I haven't seen one performance where it didn't feel like she was giving it her best effort.
