The forums feel incredibly sluggish. Trying to view or interact with a post, whether scrolling, replying, or editing, makes everything slow to a crawl. If I didn’t have uBlock Origin, I wouldn’t even visit this site. I'm using a modern MacBook that rarely has performance issues anywhere else.

I’m curious if other users are facing similar performance problems and if that could explain the drop in traffic compared to the old forums.

This is her fifth solo OST track AFAIK. She is also featured on a few other OST tracks with various artists.

This is her ninth solo OST track AFAIK. She is also featured on three other OST tracks along with Minnie and Yuqi.

Congrats to them.

This makes it the fourth song Soyeon wrote and produced to get someone their first win. (Latata, No for CLC, Beam Beam for Soyeon as a solo artist, and now My Name is Malguem.) (cr. healthyscalpsforall)

(G)I-DLE's Soyeon is unusual in that she's the least popular member while being the most successful and accomplished.

Like all other small company groups, they don't really have "fans" only a lot of multis who switch over to them for novelty or hype. A bunch of gidle multis probably jumped to them seeing how massively gidle's latest song plummeted

Gidle is in their second week of promoting and Klaxon is still rising on the charts. How has it plummeted?

Quote from visualkei4402

Soyeon is very talented, good composer, song writer, rapper. She's not a bad performer but she doesn't have a strong presence and often comes off as trying too hard.

You're out of your mind. She has one of the best stage presence of any idol.

Quote from FoReveries

But in the category 'great idol performers that also compose/songwrite/produce their own groups' top hits with great success' aren't really that many idols hanging around.

Besides GD and Soyeon, who else who can also stand on their own (so not just 'co-credits' in a long list of contributors for 1 song)?

She's at the top regarding the combination of performing and producing. She's a great producer but I think she's an even better performer.

Quote from thelightoftruth

Come on now, both those groups get decent budgets. Look at their MVs. Didnt Gidle's Super Lady MV cost like a mill or something? Ive's MVs are some of the most lavish out there right now.

$820k and the members paid half of that.

Quote from SooYoung

Fate did well yes

It did so well that it topped all the Kcharts and achieved PAK. It's still charting well after five months as it's currently #6 on iChart. That far outweighs Super Lady not becoming a hit.

Quote from versatile

gidle fell that badly huh

That's strange since they had the most votes for the top 4th/5th gen group last month:

Best 4th/5th gen GG? - K-POP - allkpop forums

They and Illit are the only GGs with PAKs this year. IDLE also has the highest first-week sales out of all GGs this year.

Super Lady wasn't even Idle's highest-charting song from their latest comeback.

BTW is KP loading very slowly for anyone else?

Bonus:

Quote from David33

Not mainstream, basically, like BIG4 groups.

Although they haven't had large mainstream success yet, they've been recognized by the mainstream. They've performed at mainstream award shows like Melon, Seoul, and Circle charts. They've also been nominated and have won ROTY/Rising Artist awards.

Quote from hype-girls

ugh i know they’re still technically underground but they’re already iconic to me and the allkpop forum nation

What does it mean to be underground?

Hasn't there been a rule put in place in China recently that restricts individuals from purchasing an album more than once? I thought I saw that somewhere.
