the song is a big bop. The two choruses + switch ul are fine. It is very smooth like Next Level
Maybe leaving out the TTS bridge will make the song much smoother with the drastic drop in climax... disjointed song is okay but having two different bridges seem excessive and unnecessary long. Even SNSD themseleves cut the TTs bridge for latter part of the promo on music shows

cause AKP is full of success stans?
You will only see "stans" of the 5th gen when some of them hit big and become popular. Now, even KIOF, ILLIT and BM are performing soso
Nonetheless, the above 3 are the better ones so far. BM will continue to have international success i guess. Illit might have bumpy road ahead but i believe they can pull it off. KIOF can go either way

They probably could survive depending on if a label, other than ADOR/HYBE, wants them, I guess?
I don't know if they'll be able to bounce back to the same level of popularity down the line.
But, did the fandom dwindle during the debacle???
I suppose I'm being optimistic for them.
I honestly think some fans left (especially those on the side of HYBE groups). Those are likely casual fans (less invested), as reflected in their streams globally.
But they definitely sustain majority of their core fandom to get that level of sales with How Sweet + Supernatural albums.

If i were you, i wont be overoptimistic about this situation.
Winning the public opinion court now doesnt necessary wining the legal case later. There are much more complications that restrict NJ from freely promoting, continuing their schedules etc once the contract status is determined (whether it favors ADOR or NJ).
Good luck. I do hope the girls able to come out unscathed to their career.

I don’t think you actually understand what’s even being said.
The fact that choices have to be made and sides have to be taken isn’t really about “strong arming” it’s about doing whats easy.
It will be EASY to backlist new jeans than fight with hybe for mnet that’s all there is to it.
This is how corporate in general works lol.
This is a LEGIT concern
Dont think NJ will be blacklisted but there would be pressures for the industry players such as Mnet, MBC, KBS etc to not make enemy with HYBE which housed many popular acts including BTS, Seventeen, Enhypen, Lsrf, Illit ... losing these acts on their shows have big impact on viewership and ratings, as well as ticket sales. MBC had given in to HYBE eventually after the previous beef. This kind of pressure is as effective as "soft" blacklisting.
Dont be surprise if NJ get a lot less festival invites, year end show stages etc
But again, it really depends on MHj's network and who is the new company backing NJ. Maybe they will fight their way out. Or maybe if HYBE loses the litigation, they may be letting go to preserve their reputation? Only time can tell.

I think with their loyal fanbase, they will be fine, even they dont get to retain their group name NJ and wont be as popular as their initial years.
However, their future potential is greatly reduced. Not sure in future they will have decent promotions (e.g. music shows, festivals, spotify playlisting etc) due to cost and connections barrier. Also, we are not even sure how HYBE gonna put restrictions on them with all their industry connections. On top of that, the uncertain outcome of contract termination...
NJ will be one of the most wasted potential in kpop history, due to greed of the adults

Bestie was wasted. At least EXID made it but i pity Uji.
How about Hello Venus? They are wasted too due to dispute between fantagio and pledis. Yooara and Yoonjo are wasted in Pledis, doing nothing
Also, if we could turn back time, AOA, back to their pre-scandal (by this i dont mean the bully case but the stupid history scandal by Jimin and Seolhyun). Good Luck was wasted because of this scandal and AOA barely regain their momentum + ChoA leaving

i mean honestly if some people don't care about this issue and care more about twice's comeback i see no problem with that. you can't force people to care about things, or try to morally police them into it.
but yes, i think it is wrong that some are trying to tell other people who do care about the vcha issue not to care
I second this comment.
No one has the rights to morally police others into supporting KG by boycotting JYP acts. Most of these fans don't even support/dont know VCHA in the first place
Let those who want to support/boycott do their own decision

HYBE definitely will want to keep NJ because
1) Manage investors expectation + stock price. This is super important. Letting go NJ = lower profits = negative outlook
2) Save their reputation- they need to clear themselves from the bad reputations that they mistreat their artists. Nothing better than winning in the court and prove they didn't violate contracts. Letting Nj go = they admit they have mistreated them.
3) Reduce competition. Letting NJ go means creating a strong competitor for themselves.
If keeping Nj in their dungeon means one less competition for LSRF and Illit, why not? The company is big enough to absorb that kind of opportunity cost. Moreover, to (4)
4) NJ will still be relatively profitable. Merchs sales, fansigns to sell albums,brand endorsement. Rarely in history there is thorough + complete boycott from fans. Even when sales decrease, there is a chance for them to gain new fans which are not involved in this civil war.
If NJ losses the legal fight, then NJ members would need to pay HYBE/SouMu a big sum. From business perspective, this is a fight that HYBE MUST continue and will never let go

International fans needed a wake up call. Several times throughout this year I've seen threads on other platforms praising JYP, the man and the company, for how well they take care of their artists' well-being compared to the other big labels. Well, in the worst way imaginable, all those people are forced to accept that JYP isn't an outlier in any way.
JYP? Seriously?
That man and/or the company literally overwork their artists and spend little to no effort on the comebacks of their older artists including Twice, ITZY.. that's one of the biggest reason they have the highest profit margin because they barely reinvest the profits into the groups and just milk them + the fans

OP u have to reword the title of this thread. It is worded wrongly
Should be someting like 'Fans Statement Requesting Withdrawal of Day6's Dowoon'
You made it sounds like Dowoon himself releasing a withdrawal statement

Aespa has the vocal, GIDLE has strong stage presence
However, imo GIDLE is hardcarried by Soyeon (used to be Soyeon+Soojin). Miyeon (my bias) is great at singing but girl is the WEAKEST link in dance and it is very obvious on stage.. Shuhua's vocal also dragged the group's average down. Minnie & Yuqi are okay though but not as great as Soyeon
Aespa is more balanced in that sense, especially with Giselle improving so much this year and catch up with the other 3 in term of performance.
Edit: if we dont care about group balance then honestly LSRF has some of the best performers here. They have two stable vocalists that can dance well. Kazuha dance elegantly and give the group a nice contrast. And their stage/remixes are usually very well designed. This is not taking into consideration the weak vocals of the other 3
