of course i listen to smino lol not following him that much compared to earthgang (their pen is just *chef kiss) but i like his features. haven't caught up with his new album because honestly BTS' and Beyonce's releases has been taking up my attention this year i can't multitask as much as i used to
smino's blk swn album is possibly most listened to rap album of all time, i highly suggest you check it out when you can. the most recent one i haven't had as much time for but it's still fun.

cutest thread in a while

Any examples come to mind? I cant think of any single that didnt have it's own official MV. To me, this is the clear demarcation between a single and a true B side.
Take Two

Honestly it's not charts, sales, brand deals etc that determines who the top group is.
It's the visceral distain and essays that they get when people call them the top group that determines that
its like cirque du soleil with all the mental gymnastics that goes on
and the clowns too

i don´t like op
i know op threads are all troll or hate
but i watched the program very happily until Jisoo said that
i am not sure if that was scripted, but i didn´t like it AT ALL.
i stoped right there and couldn´t continue
can you give some proper context to her line?
-
This is 10000 percent true.
Official MV = single. Call it a title, prerelease, alternative, whatever you want, but it's NOT a Bside, it's a single.
As long as you also include that there are singles that don't have MVs, then I can agree with this

TTH is a combination of song popularity, artists popularity, label push and the Spotify curators' willingness.
I think there are two major reasons:
1) It doesn't pass the song and/or artist popularity check.
2) Labels don't think the return on investment is worth it.
Fans always want bigger numbers. But companies want profits and profit margins. TTH may have a big exposure, but it probably also has one of the worst conversion rates. People there are just listening to whatever is popular and will probably never listen to those songs again once they leave it. It's the polar opposite of the fandom culture that maintains K-pop.
Spotify also just straight up doesn't pay that much and doesn't really create stans
YT being a visual medium plays more to Kpop's advantages and can create long-paying stans, so I see why it's considered a good investment

brb going to add this to my commute playlist

BUT I do agree with "men and women in kpop cant be friends" because of the immaturity of knets and kpop fans that even looking at a member of the opposite sex = DaTiNg ScAnDaL!!!
great angle unironically
Jisoo knows her audience, she’s giving them what they want. People who are trying to read her like they read Noam Chomsky are doing so in obvious bad faith

After reading 4 pages, the tldr I learned is that Jennie's English sucks?
WRONG
Jennie never learned to read

When some asshole guy goes 'all ladies are terrible' (language heavily cleaned) after breaking up, do we go 'oh well of course that's right, he's just talking from personal experience'. Of course no-one does.
Yet here she is doing it no problem.
lol
That’s not what she said
-
The dumb part is, she didn’t even said they can’t be friends at all. She said it’s possible if they knew each other for a long time.
agree, people here are losing their shit over something too nuanced. The effect: we learn nothing about Jisoo’s actual opinion, but we learn HEAPS about these posters

k-tokkis already proving why they’re the best fans. they did this in like 2 days?? Ouuuuuu Korea is not ready

This is also the closest you can get to a selfie on kpop Twitter without getting doxxed later on lmao. NewJeans cares about Internet safety,
I didn’t even think about that angle, that’s brilliant

The joke reads like someone thought it was subversive humor that attacked a powerful person like Epstein, but really the butt of the joke in that line is his victims.
It’s not subversive at all because the joke is written and portrayed by people who benefited from Epstein’s crimes. Hollywood has no moral ground to stand on when it comes to organised child abuse

I haven't seen the show, but tbh a lot of the reason I got into and enjoy foreign shows and movies is that I don't relate to a lot of the shows made in my country (USA).
I haven't watched this particular show so I can't really comment on it. But in a lot of shows from hollywood the characters are like vapid vain wealthy woes is me daddies rich and doesn't care about me so I'm going to go do drugs and not be like other girls, life is so hard bs.
Or they take it way too far the other way and have like the most f up home life and out on the streets shooting people and selling drugs.
As someone who grew up in a stable working-class or middle-class family depending on what job my dad and mom had at the time (the most stressful time I remember from my childhood is when my dad lost his good factory job in the 2008 financial crisis because the factory closed). I can't really relate to the wealth and crazy consumerism in a lot of US shows or to the really broken f up homes they like to always display working class people as having.
Tho it also prob helped that my parents had me in their early 30s as my dad was kind of a moron when he was younger (so I wasn't raised by children). Like for example he was in a police chase once because he threw a beer bottle out of the car window and it almost hit a cop. My dad and his friend ran from the officer and turned their car lights off (it was at night), It did not work the police still got them lol. Pretty much I learned how to live through the stories my dad told me. Like I could legit write an essay with stories from my dad on not what to do, like there is one on the time he got caught stealing from a store and another on the time he got in trouble for beating up his bully with a masonry rock (it left permanent facial scaring) and how my grandfather told him next time son don't hit him as hard lol
K-dramas do have a lot of unrelatable conglomerate heirs, and I find the historical drama cultural prejudice against butchers' kind of funny since my grandfather was a butcher lol.
you make a great point about US “premium” tv getting more unrelatable, and that’s because so much of elite Hollywood is just nepo babies helping out other nepo babies. All they can churn out is shows about rich, vapid people who work in media or entertainment
Sam Levinson is a classic Hollywood baby that basically would be in prison for drugs had he not been born with diplomatic immunity
