I'm digging the amount of Twice threads! Will always get engagement from me!

Good thread. I rate NJ 8/10. Great group and I'm thankful everyday for the masterpiece they bestowed upon the masses in Ditto.

4th Gen has never been more alive with NJ, IVE, LSF, and I'll throw in XG for good measure, even though they're X-Pop.

I'm really crossing my fingers that this will stealthily rise on the charts like Cake and Somi's Fast Forward did. It deserves it.

Wild how in 2019 through 2021, if you asked the general consensus on who stood the most out for ITZY the answer seemed like it was always Yeji and Ryujin, marketing wise. But the last couple years, it feels like it's shifting a bit towards Chaeryeong and Yuna being the ones that are keeping ITZY in the KPop conversation. Chaeryeong is now a variety show darling and Yuna is dangerously growing into IT girl status. Really shows how strong and deep this group is, they just need the songs to back them up at this point.

Bop for me. Cake has REALLY grown on me, but this is their best Korean title track since Not Shy. This felt like ITZY. Also feels like the very type of song ITZY fans have wanted for a long time out of the title tracks.

I will not stand for any Set Me Free slander in here.

Bop.

I legitimately don't understand the Flop votes.

Too cutesy for me. But Yuna has presence. I also wanted a more fierce choreography for her.

I think Chaeryeong had the best song so far. But again these are all previews. Could change when the full songs drop.

Damn. Yuna's solo is yet to come, but in the interim I think Chaeryeong has pound for pound the best solo thus far based on the long previews. Can't wait.

I agree but I would add IVE and Le Sserafim to this as well. They're too huge in Korea and Japan to ignore.

Considering that Fallen Angels is my favorite Wong Kar Wai film, I absolutely LOVED this music video. I'm pretty confident Fallen Angels, particularly Michelle Rei's character, was the inspiration.

I think it's a BLOP. I like everything except the chorus. Surprised at how many folks think it's a flop especially considering it's just a pre-release. If this was a title track then yah I'm saying yikes but its a decent b-side.

There has never been a more correct award than Ditto winning Song of the Year because it is dang MASTERPIECE.

Also as much as I joke about NJ, I'm happy they won Artist of the Year. That said objectively speaking I would've given the vote to IVE since in terms of discography I feel they had a stronger year, but Ditto and OMG alone carries a hell of a ton of weight. Can't scoff at NJ and well deserved!

As a big Taeyeon stan myself, I found this mini album underwhelming. Really wanted more, especially following INVU, but you know what, it's a similar comedown like when we went from Purpose to What Do I Call You. The only knock is that I wish I connected to at least one song on To X the way I connected with Wildfire on WDICU.

Quote from tetetete

Wow outsold iu 👀

YES. Here on the 27th of November let it be heard by the people, long proclaimed by the disciples of King Taeyeon, that the great assault on KPop by IU would see it's greatest resistance from our benevolent King Taeyeon. The hour is at hand WhyKnock!

I need to listen to it again but I think I wanted something more powerful. It's still a good song and would've been a great b-side on an album with a Taeyeon signature power title track.

As it stands I'll edge bop. If it wasn't Taeyeon I objectively would've said blop.

Of the B-sides it's either between OTT and Payback. Really like both songs. I don't hate Baddie by any means but it legit is behind the rest of the tracks on the album for me.

1. Love Dive

2. I Want

3. I Am

4. Off the Record

5. Between Blue Blood or Either Way

I liked this song too. Hell, I just liked the fact that Lee Hyo Ri didn't try to pull off a 4th gen type song, and just did something that fit her.

Quite liked it but damn she never was an exceptional dancer, and she danced on par with her younger self, yet you can see how much the dancing skill set has advanced with the later generations. Hyo Ri still has presence and she looks great!

I feel like I'm being generous by saying Blop, however can't deny that the deck was stacked against Jini and she got as decent as a song you could ask for. So good job Jini. Hope for better tracks from her.
