Hybe better have the proofs she's innocent because if they admit she's guilty now they would also admit they lied, they really set themselves up with their first statement..

Hybe about to lose their reputation because of this girl.. they really did a shitty job handling this case

The average kpop stans are kids and teens but it depends on the group and concept and music, if the members are older (they are on their 20s) could have an older demographic than new groups debuting 15-17 yo idols. I don't think a group like RV who are on their late 20s have the same age demographic like new groups with teens members. But maybe I'm wrong.

A lot of older kpop stans are kpop stans who started with kpop when they were very young, they didn't start to be interesed in kpop when they were old. Not saying it's the same for everyone.

This is the same approach they took with RV. We certainly live in a greater content world than RV's launch and yet as much as people complain, the approach has still helped them smash records so maybe there's something to it.

I don't think sm should follow the same approach like RV, times have changed, internet/social media isn't the same like 7 or 8 years ago. SNS and youtube content weren't as a big thing as when rv debuted. And rv also deserved better but it's even worse that they are doing the same to aespa when things work differently nowadays. SM needs to adapt to the times.

GP doesn't care about content they just listen to songs but content and interaction with fans is good to build a fandom and it seems like sm doesn't care much about building a fandom with their ggs.

cmiiw but aespa doesnt have official position right?

Call them roles intead of positions though it's the same. When a group doesn't have any positions it's when everything is equal and it doesn't usually happen on groups, every member has a certain role on a group. There is always:

The ones who get the most singing lines = vocal line

The ones who get the most rapping lines = rappers / rap line

The ones is charge of dance breaks = dancer line

The type of gigs each member get the most= singing, dancing, rapping, acting, brands

How they are introduced on shows: are they singing? are they dancing? are they rapping?

Kazuha reminds me of seulgi, both of them looking soft and cute

I know you only wanted to hype her vocals up but title was a bit weird. She's great in aespa. As much as I would want her to sing more her main roles are center and face of the group and even if this doesn't sound that important, it is. She embodies the image and concept of aespa which will influence the impression of the group with public so it's an important role.

Quote from sassily

just wait until YG NGG, they'll start from YG (strike one) and they'll have blinks against them (strike two). Plus by then the other Big4 groups will have established fanbases and be fighting for dominance. It'll be a bloodbath.

I have that group on my prayers since a long time ago, some blinks won't be nice to them at all

Quote from Lulu_Key

I don't think there was any controversy for Nmixx

people might have not liked the song, but that's not controversy

I mean comparing it with aespa or this group it's nothing but they had the plagiarism accusations (tho they weren't serious) for not mentioning the song wasn't that well received but if we compare it to this yeah they had a nice debut

Will we have a debut from big3/4 with no controversies someday?

You can't tell me companies don't know what they are doing because when aespa debuted karina and ningning were getting the most revealing/tight outfits for black mamba that leaded to people sexualizing them, esp since they had to do certain moves (bend..), they toned it down on the next comebacks though. Obviously "creeps are gonna be creeps" but when the company is helping with that, they are also the ones to blame.

I knew this would happen, that video was a bit too mature when you have a 15 and 16 years old members on the group. IVE was getting some criticism but this is worse, I hope they don't have a too mature concept or at least wait until minors grow up

Quote from Aeicy

hmm marks child was 100% a solo debut

are you serious? mark child isn't his official solo debut, it's part of the new nct proyect. I'm not even a nct fan and i know this

Quote from Aeicy

it had a music video, it had performances, comeback or not it wasn't nothing

So? I didn't say it was nothing, it's just it's not a comeback, it's like to call mark "child" a solo debut because he released a mv that's not how things work, all sm stations have a mv

Quote from Aeicy

dreams come true came out three months ago lets chill

That's not a comeback and nobody treated it like one, it was part of sm remastering project and if you go to the mv it says "station" (sm station), their last comeback was 6 months ago, soon 7 months

My personal opinion it's better for garam, the group and own hybe to release another statement more detailed, the first one was too vague and so they could close the controversy for good.

From previous controversies, it's better to handle things at the moment and not kinda sweep it under the rug or you're letting the door open to future accusations in a few years.

Quote from atropos

I agree. Main popularity will be judged once mv and performances start dropping. I wonder if the bullying mess also took away her hype because it was at the peak. Chaewon has fanbase and people know her so it didn't affect her.

It's gonna be a bit hard for her to stand out on this group. You have 3 members with a previous fanbase and pretty popular, Kazuha is getting a lot of love same like garam even with her controversy, she's gonna have to be amazing performer or dancer or stand out somehow to compete against the rest

I want a full album and a spring /fun/bright concept but not sure if I'll get any of that

It's been 7 months so I hope sm goes all out at least. Give us lots of content and good promotion, that's the only thing i ask

Not really, they are getting (positive except for garam issue) attention more than let's say nmixx or ive but aespa predebut was a big mess for bad reasons but yeah

Chaewon and Yunjin stood out for me on the video. Yunjin gives such main character vibes off, kazuha looks cute but too soft for me maybe I change my mind when i see her on a regular video or performing
