Anyone know who their MV directors are? Love the MV, very cool! Not liking the song though, prefer their previous releases and it started very abruptly. Kinda sounds ITZY-ish (Dalla Dalla, Wannabe).

I only want them to disband because I know it will make their obnoxious fans cry a river. But that really has nothing to do with my speculation here. My wanting their disbandment and their actual likelihood of disbandment -- which is considerably higher than you'd like it to be -- are kept separate. This is my estimation of what happened based entirely on my knowledge of how the business works, and how Dispatch works, not "I want BP to disband so I'll just say some shit." I'm better than that.

If you were paying attention, you'd realize I didn't even imply that she wouldn't renew. I only implied that she hasn't.

What you're saying may be true since we all saw what happened between SNSD and SM during their contract renewal period. But I don't think it's the case for BP and YGE like I mentioned. Besides BP's brand is too lucrative and compared to SM back then (they had other acts to carry the company) while YGE heavily relies on BP atm.

Not. Very. Likely. Idols are almost never voluntarily open about their private lives, even the more careless ones who don't painstakingly take every measure possible to hide it. That's why Jennie still hasn't said anything publicly, despite everyone and their mother knowing she's dating and with whom.

The only real exceptions to this rule are idols who are about to get married and know they should say something or potentially face backlash.

The more likely scenario here is that Dispatch called up YG and was like, "Yo, we're leaking this if you don't pay up" and YG was like, "She hasn't renewed, we don't care," and so she was essentially left with no choice but to play along. If I were a betting man, that would be my play.

Lol that's also because you want them to disband (and they won't) This scenario you're building didn't apply to YGE's own artist Taeyang and Hyorin though.... He renewed his contract after their dating confirmation and is still with YGE/TBL since then.

Ah, btw, this post looks like this:

EXACTLY lol

Quote from SooYoung

People who knew the songs were only fans

I think majority were fans but some were probably also people who have heard of their songs (casual listeners)? I guess it helps that their songs have a lot of English so they can sing along.

Where are they getting the numbers from? Looks like it’s just the usual prediction/estimation by researchers/securities firms….

Quote from kingkook

NewJeans. Tbh Aespa's Govball performance felt better than the Coachella one. And I don't think it was the girl's fault either. The stage wasn't well-managed to begin with.

Even comparing to aespa’s Govball, I prefer NJ’s performance. I do think the crowd helped them as they knew the songs compared to aespa’s and NJ were more engaged too because Giselle (English speaker) wasn’t present iirc.

I was surprised with NJ ngl. I thought they’d be boring (because their songs are towards the chill type lol but they proved me wrong). Both did well but I’m gonna go with BP!

Yeah, some kpop companies like to change the lyrics to make them more "family-friendly"... Should have sticked to the original imo.

Quote from killingtime1934

Not even yg will get that again

And I will enjoy him trying and failing

Jennie solo stan at it again…

Quote from doesitneedsaying

I don't get this opinion. Just because they had chemistry in some show and are both gorgeous people doesn't mean they are attracted to each other or their personalities fit. What we see on screen is acting, we don't know what's going on real life, we don't know these people. You are essentially sad because two people who look esthetically pleasing together aren't dating. And that's weird

Quote from loneranger1

i just think it is sus that the news is released so close to BP renewal

Why use Jisoo though? Isn’t the probability of her renewing the biggest out of all the pinks?

Quote from Chaittra

You do know he is losing money and his stocks are dropping due to uncertainty of the renewal... the delay in announcement is in no way a profit

It will start to be worrying if there’s no confirmation until end of August. They could still be negotiating but I think they’ll just move to TBL and maybe YGE are confident that BAEMON’s debut will help them.

Quote from Lulu_Key

Kpop companies work like a clock

As soon as someone doesn't renew they get outed for datinf

Examples? Recently Hwasa iirc, who else?

Quote from killthisfenty

No the amount of albums

Just visited the website and translated (unless it’s a mistranslation), it says:

According to the entertainment industry on the 2nd, the Fair Trade Commission conducted an on-site investigation on YG (YG) Entertainment on the same day.

Starting with SM (SM) Entertainment on the 31st of last month, on the 1st of this month, we conducted an on-site investigation of JYP Entertainment.

Quote from killthisfenty

SM 31. JYP 1. YG 2

These are the dates when they were investigated…

SM - July 31

JYP - Aug 1

YG - Aug 2

Isn’t Ning2 the all-rounder in aespa? Karina is not an all-rounder imo. We are all going to have a different definition of what an all-rounder is lol

Can we take sites like "viraltakes" seriously? Where are they getting the info from?

Ohhh hope they make it more upbeat and change it up a bit! I think someone mentioned it’s going to be a dance-pop song?
