i'm here for the music too but it gets annoying how stans cherry-pick when to blame the company and when not to. i guess that's my biggest problem. they love to label their fave's successes as theirs but their mistakes as the company's fault
just stan JYPE groups, then you blame the company 100% of the time
thats the appeal to kpop imo
i dont need every artists to tell me before every albums how special it is, how its the "real them", how it was so much work , etc etc etc, when its manufactured all to hell
ed sheeran(the king of self written) even admitted, he only wrote shape of you after the labeled said he needed a lead single and he didnt have one
the west is too "serious" with music, everything is "personal", and they want you to believe that, but the truth is, it isnt, you probably get more genuine interactions with kpop idols through vlive/bubble then any western artists dropping an album then fucking off
those #s are usually always wrong, but in general, when your splitting revenue, yours gonna have lower #s, + music business is brutal, the actual money that makes it to the artists can be low after producers, company, etc get there split
if BTS was each worth 35million, x7 = 250 which would make sense, when you have people like sheeran, bieber, swift in the 200-300 range
Did they decide whether they'll be exempted or not yet? They did say late April so we will have to get an answer soon.
this week sometime I thought they were deciding

This is the dance prac, around the same time, lightning made it looks 10x worse imo
its holding on pretty well tbh, 3 days ago hit 40million, now its at 42.6million, so not terrible
heavy over lightning is making it worse(im not gonna argue her weight/health)
overhead lightning gives heavier shadow, which make things give the appearance of protruding more
She is naturally skinny but I haven't seen pics of her where her ribcage is so visible.. Maybe it's just that she's "vacuuming" her stomache but there are lots of possiblities. Calling her gross though? That won't do anything. I just think people need to remember that what idol's show you isn't always what they actually do so she could be posting those food pics without actually consuming anything..
anytime you have overhead lightning, its gonna make ridges seem deeper then they are, its a trick to make abs stand out aswell
you if you look at yuna, you can see whats standing out the most is not her ribs, but the shadow underneath, and the interior shadow from the vacuum stomach
she is sassy. I've been reading the threads, but can figure out what's really happening. Aespa and Blackpink performed at that coach thingy. But something happened and I'm not sure what. So the aespa fans and blackpink fans are fighting, then bts fans started fighting. Or something. Then sm said something about blackpink or something. Or was it the other way around. With yg. Then 2ne1 perform. I don't know anymore lmfao.
ill make this quick
-SM posted article/tweet saying like "aespa was first invited kpop gg to perform on coachella main stage" <- implying coachella personally invited them to main stage : 2ne1 performed the night before so they couldnt say "first kpop gg to live stage' etc etc
-truth came out it was a 88rising set - you could argue if they were even invited and its not a business deal
-blinks called out the media play, as BLACKPINK was personally invited to coachella to perform, just not main stage
-MYs start fighting with blinks
this is the room we are in now
im probably missing some nuance shit
LOL the twitter fucked it up
' funk-based alternative pop genre song that tells the story of Le Seraphim'
which makes so much more sense with what we heard
bop but generic, easy listen
i think it will go more live with the hand mics,
they like turned down NN and winters mic near the end of BM
as for the performance, glad they got to sing live some, def hears some either pure backtrack/heavy processing on high notes in NL
stage presence wise they def need more experience, quite stiff, and got very shouty, giselle being the biggest offender(i dont quite see the giselle praise that others do)
assuming ill think the same when the official stream happens
good to get infront of humans though, even tho they might aswell have been cardboard cutouts
I wonder if all the people who said "aespa isn't big enough" for Coachella have been following along with the Coachella stream today because while I've seen some cool acts that have been shown on the main stage, I haven't known who most of the people were other than Giveon and Rina Sawayama (and neither of those are mainstream in the US although Giveon at least was on other peoples' hits, but not sure if people would know him on his own)..
if anyone says that they are dumb, coachella was/is an indie festival for years until kayne performed, then beyonce made it mainsteam for pop artists.
