a shame to see her go, but rocket punch was really a dead end anyways. as much as she desire to be a kpop idol, I fear her best hope is to go back to japan and ride off the "former kpop idol" gimmick

very simple, easy listening song. nice but perhaps not the aggressively catchy bop some were hoping for

2nd gen idols were definitely forced to sing live more so we get more live vocal material to analyze from 2nd gen but idk that 2nd gen were necessarily better singers across the board.
it's also hard to compare because 3rd gen put more of an emphasis on dancing talent at the expense of vocal talent, and comparing good singers versus good dancers is apples to oranges
personally i think most of the best vocalists in kpop debuted 2010-2015 so late 2nd, early 3rd gen?

whether the premise for the hate (LSF being bad singers) is true or not, this mocking trend is a sad reflection of the human nature to gain entertainment and notoriety off other peoples' flaws and public humiliation

the metallic sound to many of the notes indicates some live pitch correction/auto-tune going on, but other than that (if this is really live an not AR) this is a good kpop live for a non-vocal group

Impressed by Dahyun, her tone is nice

worst thing about this group is their songs are in english so us english speaking fans are continually inundated with how awful kpop rap lyrics actually are when you know what they're saying.
also people always gush over this groups aesthetics but i find this very dark and ominous and not in a good way.

This is not good. Even if BTS is cleared, the fact that they were investigated by KOCCA for chart manipulation is already embarrassing.
This is what I mean with opening a pandora box if a company starts to display too much ego publicly. It can provoke the wrong people, leading to serious repercussions.
I really hope the investigation finds nothing and this is just a false alarm. If sajaegi is discovered, it would be a huge scandal, casting doubt on all of BTS’s achievements and their legacy.
Other fandoms should not see this as a victory. Such an investigation could trigger a wave of scrutiny for other major companies and their groups, damaging the credibility of K-pop as a whole.
I disagree that this would be such a huge, career shattering scandal even if the accusations turn out true. Even if BigHit used sajaegi for BTS when their career was getting started/they were ascending to top BG spot, their fandom and genuine success has exploded so much since then that I don't think some cheating early on will undo their later achievements in most people's minds.
i expect if proven true, 99% of fans would excuse it in a heartbeat and the general public would be critical for a day and then forget about it

I never got interested in the members enough to call myself a "stan" but I always appreciated their contribution to the industry. at one point NJ were genuinely the only 4th gen group releasing listenable music and were the last group stopping me from abandoning hope for this genre completely and exclusively listening to old 2nd/3rd gen bops

I think these accusations are confusing hopping on a general trend (retro concept) with specific plagiarism, just like the ILLIT accusations were tbh. people expect complete originality from every single artist without realizing that taking inspiration and borrowing and reinventing ideas from other artists has always been how any creative industry operates and produces it's best work.

it's really just yujin and ricky that really can't sing but besides them zb1 aren't the worst 4th gen bg when it comes to vocals by a long shot. however the song itself relies on a lot of falsetto which is always tricky, the line between sounding good and sounding shrill is so thin with falsetto
idk why they give the non-vocal members so many difficult lines, shouldn't they know the members skills level and assign lines accordingly? or are they afraid of fans bitching about their bias having no lines?

a shame that this undeniable evidence will probably be of no use criminally holding diddy accountable because cassie already settled with him out of court. now if another victim tries to press charges, prosecutors could try to use the video to show diddy's violent behavior pattern, but most judges probably wouldn't admit such prejudicial evidence.
at least in the court of public opinion hopefully more people's eyes will be opened to the truth due to this video

lmao funny it looks like they had a pregnancy pact
If any of my currently promoting faves did this i would be mostly concerned because they're all young, unmarried, and just beginning their careers so having a baby would be a big challenge

the issue that might be hard to hear as SM ent and as a fan is that Winter's condition is not something that just goes away and you can keep on grinding like normal after a few weeks/months. Once pneumothorax occurs once you are susceptible to it and other lung conditions likely for life or until drastic change is made (less physically intense job, weight gain)

i think tiffany's problem is self-centered bias and rose colored glasses that everyone is susceptible to regardless of when they were born. when we look back on our own experiences of course we think "wow, I worked so diligently, things were so hard back then blah blah" and we probably are forgetting all the times we half-assed it or actually had it easy. but when we look at other people it seems unfair they look like they're having such an easy time, even though for all we know that could just be an exception or they are actually struggling bts
