Like many others 2018 was the best to me, but 2022 was great and 2023 was really strong too. I think we're in a new golden era of ggs. I think in 2030 we'll look back at 2022-2024 as like one of those classic stretches for ggs, just like we (rightfully) do with 2016-2018.

never thought I'd see a Mamamoo stan being a LSF shooter lol

My initial reaction is that this is the best non-EXO SM bg single since like Baby Don't Stop. We'll see how it grows on me tho because I bet I'm going to be hearing this a lot in public the next few months.

lots of my elementary students are already talking about Wonhee and how cute she is (even though they're all like 8-10 lol), so maybe her. I feel like the others are too reminiscent of NJ to get more popular than Haerin/Minji domestically or Hanni internationally.

gonna be quite the battle with Magnetic, this, and the new IVE song

I second this. IVE have already proven they're more than capable of holding their own with their live vocals, and they'll have a ton of touring experience by the time they perform at Lollapalooza. Anyone hoping for that stage to become an opportunity to tear them down will be bitterly disappointed, especially those demented haters. I personally can't wait to dive into IVE at Lollapalooza this summer.

I wasn't thinking of you as one of the demented ones lol, you're more just a NewJeans super praiser/troll. You downplay IVE's digitals kinda but I don't remember you ever saying they were bad singers, Wonyoung is a bad person, or it's all fake and sajaegi like some other regulars.

IVE are perfectly capable singers (there are so many videos of them singing live, even their music show promotions for I Am were more live than most other 4th gen ggs concerts), but people just project their fantasies onto IVE (especially on this forum) and then say them as if they're fact because they're just so desperate to hate them for some reason. I'm not even an IVE fan but I feel like I am one whenever I scroll through these posts because they have some legit demented haters here.

NewJeans

IVE

LE SSERAFIM

TWICE

Seventeen (I guess one of these big album sellers has to make it)

I don't think anyone would be surprised if ILLIT is on here by the end of the year either. Also SKZ might get a domestic hit finally, now that they've teamed up with SK's adopted son Charlie Puth.

Thank god it's six unique songs, and no other language versions or instrumentals.

I don't mind those generally, but I need a minimum of six songs to get excited about them lol.

so biggest debut song ever right?

Even tho I think EXO is the best they've always felt the least "SM" of their big groups to me (probably why I like them the most by far). I voted for SNSD because they were the flagship SM group for so long and because Taeyeon is still the SM idol in SK after all these years.

NCT does seem to embody the SM philosophy more than any other group, but they're so unpopular in SK compared to every other SM bg so it felt weird to vote for them.

I care because I know they get happy about it and it means the fandom will probably grow, but it doesn't impact my opinion of the song (well not too much anyways) for better or worse. Probably I'm a little biased towards the less popular songs because of like an underdog mentality if anything. But it really is so heartwarming seeing all the group members get so thrilled about chart success.

miss red curtain don't play with my heart

at one point in the stream Suho said "last year The First Snow was a big hit in the winter time so this year . . ." And then later on he mentioned the full album and world tour when Sehun/Kai get back, but then he was like "but that's a long time from now right? So this winter or should I say, before this winter is over, we'll return to you with new music and new stages." And then Baekhyun said at the end of the fanmeet "we'll see you again before this year is over!"

not to mention it looks like there will be a winter album this year, they were hinting so strongly at it.

Baekhyun (although idk if he counts because he left SM (as a soloist anyways))

I thought it was a mediocre performance, like it didn't improve my opinion of them but I didn't find it unprecedently awful or anything like that. It didn't change my opinion of them for the better or worse except I like Chaewon a bit more now I guess. She's so charismatic.

I guess this shows Zico is still thought of as an idol, it makes sense because Block B was much, much more popular in SK than with ifans

yeah your #1 is such like an earnest, nostalgic song that I think it gets a bit undestimated these days because everyone wants sexy or dark concepts and it's basically the antithesis of that lol. The vocals are really amazing on it too.

the name of the album is literally "Blossom" so of course it's spring vibes everyone lol. Can't wait to hear this tho! May can't come fast enough.

that number is gonna go way up when BBH4 finally drops too
