Just in time before the American concerts. Still wondering if I should go to Pru Center to see them live.
-
I'm going blop for now. I think objectively it's an interesting song, I'm just not connecting with it.

Dreamer going after all the faves. The Red Velvet one should be good.

All them folks who say Untouchable is bad better take a Covid test, because one of the symptoms is a loss of taste.

I live for Twice/Blackpink friendships. Misa, Jeyeon, Chaesé. They're all great. It makes the fanwars more hilarious because I'm convinced they're creating half the threads in here just roasting each other.

What exactly are guild events?

Afterlike is 10x better than the original though lbr.
Damn, I've never seen a more obvious scenario of placing unwitting victims in front of an oncoming train than this one right here.

No group was breaking into the west during 2nd gen. It was just too early for kpop. That shouldn't count against SNSD.
It's a fair point but even with that qualifier Twice beats them by Japan numbers who were still the number 1 KPop GG as of 2022. I have no idea if that changed in 2023 with LSF or even IVE, but I mean Twice were doing awesome business there pretty much their entire career.
To go kind of off topic, all this talk though, is just making me wonder when the hell is SM gonna announce Tayeon's Odd of Love Concert blu ray. That's gonna be a killer setlist. Just bangers everywhere.

I honestly don't follow the numbers but aren't Stray Kids big internationally now?
-
Omg, then by these conditions from OP, Twice would truly be revealed as flops!
-
haha actually when I'm wondering what Kpop group or act comeback is approaching I don't go on google, I just log in here to see which act has multiple troll threads.

Super Shy was #1 for 50 days, which was more than OMG and the only song by any artist to do so in 2023 outside of Ditto. It was also the top ranked song on the 2023 Gallup Survey. It was released within a week of the biggest idol on the planet, Jungkook, and had to hold him off for said 50 days or they would've reigned even longer at the top.
More importantly, it charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for 8 weeks, which is the second most ever behind only Cupid, and the most weeks NewJeans has ever stayed on the chart.
So, in many ways, it outdid their other songs, and it is easily their most successful song globally.
Super Shy slander won't work here, friend.
Plus I already said NewJeans HAVE peaked in Korea. There is literally nothing more they can accomplish. They broke all PAK the records. Got all the daesangs. Topped Gallup. Sold the most albums on Circle in a single year ever. Anything else is padding.
International/Global achievement is where NewJeans has much room to grow still.
That was one big word salad to say Ditto was the bigger hit, the song of the year etc.
And how dare you say NewJeans peaked. Your days are numbered.

Chaeyoung absolutely. I NEED a rap track from her, in her style, in her own words. She's been nothing but a team player, and frankly it's time to let her talents loose.
Jeongyeon also would've been good, but I get the sense she's not interested in a solo at this time. I think she's still determined first to get back to 100%.
Dahyun will forever be my bias, but I don't know that a solo career would work for her. She's kind of the jack of all trades but master of none. I think she'd be a good songwriter though.
Tzuyu never seemed interested in a solo singing career but I could be wrong.

Supremacy.

The fact they tried the triple title track promotion strategy and it flopped compared to what others have accomplished. More importantly, Baddie is nowhere near the hit I Am was. I need to be convinced they can score another hit as big as I Am or Love Dive.
Both of those songs are national hits. Baddie was not.
We'll see on their next comeback. I could be wrong.
WHAT. Are you for real with that take? Super Shy is nowhere near the hit that OMG, Ditto, or Hype Boy was. Should we declare NJ peaked? I can't wait for that thread and you better not make that thread because then I will CAMPAIGN for your ban!

I legitimately think it was debatable until 2020 when Twice finally broke through the western market.
SNSD was number 1 in Korea longer relative to their own generation. But they struggled with their global expansion on exception of Japan. The same thing was happening to Twice though I'd say they were bigger in Japan than SNSD. Regardless Twice broke through in the west and that's been the difference maker.
