I have a feeling Smngg won’t blowup until end of 2025 
I think aespa, ive, gidle, Smngg and…… NJ! With the right moved NJ can ride on their legacy like how BP does every group comeback they just need to make smart choices 
I think BM can go either way as usually YG gg tend to blowup from debut so it’s hard to predict BM path. KIOF I see become Stayc level , maybe a better but not far off 
ILLIT, LSFM, Meovv and Itzy can go either way depending on the songs and when they comeback 
I like 5th gen! I think they’re just in 4th gens shadows kind of like early 4th gen were overshadowed by 3rd gen Also 4th gen didn’t have as long in the limelight like 3rd gen did so as a result 5th gen might have to wait a few more years for public interest to shift in their favor
This is funny 
they caught him when he thought it was safe to dance
Oh gosh things are spicy
Deserved 
still charting really well too!
She’s gorgeous aespa should do a short hair comeback they all just have bobs and pixie cuts
Maybe because Korean appreciate successful people with talent. It's a competitive country,it's must be annoying when regular people need to study, work hard and still not success,while seeing rich idols who only relied on "luck" and "privileges" with vocals ability no more than karaoke singer. Why they need to give support and their money when idols don't deserve it?
I don’t think Lsfm are untalented! They’re just as talented as the average K-pop group and Chaewon and Yunjin are great singers and Lsfm as a group are amongst the best dancers and performers of kpop imo I truly think they’ve been very unlucky a mixture of bad luck timing and wrong moves from Hybe!
It’s clear they’re caught up in Hybes drama which has given them negative press not to mention all the wrong moves Hybe has made! The encore stage is one thing but Illit also had a bad encore stage in fact almost all groups do
I think Hybe never should have sent them to Coachella so soon after since everyone wanted to watch only to see how they sounded. Hybe should have let the bad press die down a bit before sending them to sing live at one of the biggest festivals globally!
Then to create a documentary about the pressure of it all was a massive controversy I personally enjoyed it but that’s when they got a lot of backlash about not being able to take criticism to improve etc
Then a few social media scandals with members posting pictures of middle fingers and such ( I know it’s not that serious but that caused them a lot of backlash) they started losing followers at that time too!
Not to mention the stuff with Hybe and NJ coming out about Hybe using NJ to better Lsfm and take their opportunities. It’s clear Hybes wrongs are catching up to them! Hybe is the problem and Lsfm are collateral and victims of bad decisions from Hybe.
Oh gosh that was lengthy
It has never been about song release before the scandal it goes easily in the top 10.
LSRF fanbase in Korea has always been weak and most of them are males and we all know they aren’t as loyal as fan girls. HYBE’s reputation in Korea is in the toilets so it’s funny how people think HYBE can end NJ’s career in Korea.
Exactly! When you really think about it they’ve had back to back to back scandals from the encore stages to Coachella to their documentary and then Hybe drama in general
Comparing to Illit who’s only thing has been copying NJ and Hybe drama it make sense to see how LSFM got the bigger hit to their support out the two gg
The change was so drastic Imo but who’s to say they can’t recover. Others have done so before but their drop wasn’t so immediate
I know I keep repeating it but people are not grasping how much support Lsfm have lost so suddenly
They went from blocking drama from getting PAKs with perfect night a full English song which was a massive achievement to their recent comeback being out charts by songs released in 2022/23
Even perfect night has fallen out of the charts! People keep saying Crazy is a bad song which it’s not imo but how come Whiplash is a hit when it’s the same song concept 
I think their backlash is a lot more aggressive than ifans realise. Truthfully their next cb will decide
This is the ultimate one imo if they agree to this then NJ has won
It doesn’t! I knew this would happen it’s just for the public! I knew something was up when ADOR suddenly said they magically acknowledge Hanni’s bullying case even thought she said this months ago!
Publicly they’re just going to agree with whatever NewJean says in a halfass way but bts I’m sure it’s more sinister
Display MoreWait, they didn't??
Honestly, I only care about live singing during concerts and MAYBE award shows.
Concerts because actual fans are paying to see you perform.
Award shows depends for me because I know some groups focus on delivering a more captivating performance and leaving a better impression on their general audience (through dancing and stage presence mostly) so i understand why they wouldn't want to take a chance with vocals in the case that something goes wrong.
Not for Mama 2024 they sang some parts live but it wasn’t fully live like KGMA! It’s frustrating cause they sing so well live 
Yeah I think performances and visuals are more important for companies compared to previous gens!
I personally don’t mind lip sync in music shows as long as they sing live eventually but I will admit I was disappointed aespa didn’t sing live for Mama awards
I feel like with SM they’re so focused on sounding perfect but when there’s stages that demand more than the usual they don’t risk live singing which is frustrating
