I can't believe I'll get to hear Sungchan singing in the bridge. Instant bop. But really, the song made me remember something I can't quite pinpoint but it's definitely closer to the teenage nostalgia of late 2000s and early 2010s. This sounds so refreshing to me.

The fans who went to the showcase were really not lying when they said the song is so good there's no way for it to not do well on the charts.

this is incredible! it reminds me of the slow and steady growth of next level.

can they crack the top 10 today?

I was about to say this remembering how next level debuted exactly at the top100 and slowly climbed to no. 1 slowly and steadily

Koreans are definitely getting their guitar at 9 am because they're always riizing at this time. Impressive, especially since promotions had long been over

Quote from SooYoung

i feel the same i was interested for sungchan and shotaro

but memories was the type of song i always asked for bg, fresh, cute, young and free vibe and great cinematography

so it just hype me so much and gag just cemented this vibe i felt

but the members are also so captivating on stage and they have a great energy off stage

also i loved the fact that in contrary of 90% of bg they didn't think that you need to bite your lips, cools cool and sexy to be consider as a great performer for bg

exactly! they don't come out as exaggerated to me. Their charisma on stage including their facial expressions comes off as just naturally fun, energetic, and youthful. Youthful without being cringe. They're actually the first BG of this current generation whose performances I actively searched on Yt because I genuinely enjoy watching them. And considering I'm mostly a gg stan in this current 4th gen era, Riize is such fresh air to me. They're just so attractive on stage.

I don't know really, but subjectively speaking, among the boy groups you mentioned, Riize has the most attractive, charming, and fresh vibe both in photographs and in stage performances. These are the initial materials that have made me interested in the group (aside from Sungchan being there). Then, the musical direction SM had for their debut had me wanting to hear more of them. I love, love Memories and GAG is such a nice debut song. Then again this is a subjective opinion. But who knows, maybe more people have the same subjective opinion as me and it translates to them checking out the group and the song, which eventually resulted in a steadily increasing charting. The prolonged music show appearances might have also helped because as I previously mentioned, Riize is such a joy to watch performing. They're so charming on stage and it's not just one member, the entire group has that overall charming appeal.

In order

Sungchan, Wonbin, Eunseok

No. I think your parents made a mistake having you.

Usually when people have kids they make an effort to raise them right, say most other people for example, their kids grow and mature and become quite decent people.

When we compare you to the average person though, only your toxicity seems to stand out, but everything else about you is really meh.

I love this so much I might actually put this in a frame

Deserved. After everything they've went through since the Girls era, all the company drama and the long overdue hiatus, aespa still release such an excellent album. They've worked so hard for this and this promotional cycle is also their best so far. I'm so happy their hardwork and perspectives are bearing much fruit this comeback.

re peak at no. 1

Next Level, truly the first mega hit of the 4th gen that actually challenged some of the records set by the reigning giants of the previous gen and actually succeeded.

Even with it underperforming, Girls still managed to enter top 10 and peaked at top 8. In a general perspective, that's still a good performance. I hate how people have double standards for aespa (and most top groups actually). If Girls was produced by other group and still charted as it did, people will count it as a hit. I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't deny it as an underperformance for aespa. It did underperformed compared to their previous releases but people here and from other sites are writing it off as a complete flop and the end of it all when truth is it actually did quite well for an underperformance. With the way people write Girls off, you would assume it failed to enter all major charts with how seemingly career ender people made it out to be.

I know I was gonna like it after I looped that teaser for countless times, something I haven't done for any of the past aespa teasers and I'm a My.

Hard BOP

I know Mys will snap after everything that happened 🤭🤭 It's time to revisit my bookmarks 🤭🤭

SPICY GIRLS DID THAT IN ONLY HALF OF THE FIRST DAY TRACKING PERIOD

10 OUT OF 10 HONESTLY!!

And they actually listened to aespa when the girls asked for the track videos. A miracle I should say

Oh, I actually like it!

SM is not stupid this time. We won

Tbh I am currently having anxiety for Thirsty !! I know SM is capable of blatant stupidity but I hope not this time

Quote from Lulu_Key

initially SM booked a small sketchy venue for 15th anniv fan meeting and just 1 date

Shawols threatened boycott + send trucks + 2 lawsuits and filed FTC report

SM finally got scared

I don't think the boycott was what that did the job

Lawyer shawols literally filed a lawsuit against the organizers due to shady public tax record then another lawsuit bc the venue is not safe and a stampede almost happened for a nct127 event then another complaint to FTC due to bad faith of how seats are arranged.

They literally tried to send people and their moms to jail.

Freaking finally. I'm beginning to think the May comeback will come out in 2024 because their silence is becoming unbearable.
