Defo feels like 2nd Gen music! Also if spring the season was a song this would be it

Yeah, it instantly resonated with me because of that. I love the chorus. Although, even without the fun little 2^nd Gen nostalgia attack, the song is catchy enough, and probably a grower for some people who weren't sure about it after a single listen. It's just fun and positive vibes all round. Also, the music video was well shot and edited, I liked the colour grading, the choreography is fun and dynamic, and like others have mentioned, the girls were dressed age appropriately as far as I can remember, which is always a good sign. For me there's nothing not to like or be overly nitpicky about.

Spring is a lovely season after all.

If you've got time and haven't already seen it, check out the dance practice:

For me, it resonates because it feels like it carries the spirit of 2^nd generation K-pop, while still managing to sound modern.

As a big TVXQ fan from way back, I hope Jaejoong can do right by these girls. They deserve a chance. I was quite surprised when I discovered he was putting together a girl group, especially since he only just finished his exile sentence recently. Of course, he's a twenty year veteran and well respected amongst his seniors, peers, and even juniors, so I have trust that he'll do his best. I wish both the group and Jaejoong well in this endeavor.

I'm pleased to see Hitomi again. From what I've seen, the girls seem to have good chemistry which goes a long way. Also, I love the cute cat iconography.

judging from your symptons you might need a

I appreciate the concern and the easily identifiable suggestion, but I'm not one to swim against the stream; I've come to terms with my condition. With acceptance comes relief. Come what may, I'm sure I'll have no regrets.

Certainly none of my favourite artists, as they repeatedly 'hit' the mark, with the mark being my heart, of course. Though I'm beginning to wonder just how much more my ticker can take.

While you're all discussing success, all I know is the following:

S.E.S paved the way to my heart.

SNSD pioneered the way into my heart.

f(x) gave me heart palpitations.

Red Velvet continues to soothe my heart.

Aespa, well, they set up shop in my heart.

I don't know about all that, but I do remember discovering the Rising Gods of the East back in 2006. For the longest time I was a believer; I even managed to convert my mum and sister, and they became very devout, to the point they travelled far to bear witness to their musical glory in both China and Korea. After that period of my life, I guess I didn't believe in much. However, many years later I incidentally came across a sacred text. Inscribed on the front cover were the words 'Ning Yizhou'. I took my time reading it, studying it, front-to-back and back-to-front. I'm still not sure I fully understand it, but I think I'm a believer. I heard a voice, and it most definitely blessed my ears.

I agree with everyone mentioned so far.

Rescene are truly underrated. One of my favourite new groups. I still feel like a time will come where they will receive more recognition. Sonically, they are music to my ears.

Tri.be is also criminally underrated. Perhaps I'm being selfish, but I really hope the rumours of them disbanding aren't true. Although, that may be what the girls want and is what's best for them at this stage. I remember I cried the first time I heard Diamond, for whatever reason, and then the late Shinsadong Tiger passed away, adding even more emotional impact to the song for me. Let's just say I still get somewhat emotional listening to the song. Whatever happens with the group, I hope the girls remain close and don't totally disappear into obscurity.

I appreciate your thoughtful intentions. Thank you.

Let's also appreciate one of Jennie's most striking features:

Her eyes. They are truly beautiful. Of course, they're enhanced by makeup here, but even with little to no makeup, they're similarly gorgeous. Their shape just carries so much allure. And that mole; it really puts the 'beauty' in beauty spot.

What about Jennie doesn't deserve to be celebrated? She's a talented, intelligent, and pretty woman who is clearly working hard for the life that she wants and deserves.

Sorry guys, I'm actually not done yet with my rant.

Imagine this face:

In something like this:

Or like this:

Ningning looks especially great in red, as evidenced by her 2023 MMA outfit.

Sidenote, Ningning with Chinese style makeup and hair is just perfection.

Again, sorry guys, rant over.

Another video of the Versace Queen:

'StunNing' may have never been more appropriate than here.

Your post brought warmth to my heart 🥰

That moonwalk is the cherry on top, you’re right!

Well, it was unintended, but I'm glad you feel that way. It's just my honest takeaway as a casual fan. The girls are great, I enjoy their music, and they're always entertaining regardless of what type of content you're consuming. They clearly work hard and love their job.

I usually just lurk as I don't really feel the need to share my opinions often, but the board's been teeming with needless negative energy lately so I thought I'd try contributing by infusing a little positive energy here and there. After all, one of the biggest factors that drew me into the K-pop sphere back in '06 was the fun and positive energy I felt as I experienced this new and, at the time, very quirky thing called Korean pop for the first time.

If you've ever wondered what the goddesses of Chinese mythology might've looked like, they surely looked something like this:

Cue minor rant.

I'd love to see Ningning cast in a Chinese xianxia drama. Her ridiculously beautiful, and equally cute face, paired with the colourful, vibrant, and elaborate outfits that are a staple of the genre would just be so fun and eye-catching. Her duality would fit so well too. She can be so goofy and unserious at times, which definitely fits the energy of many xianxia dramas. The only thing that could make it even better would be her singing an epic OST. I love hearing her sing in Mandarin. Her cover of Melody enriches my soul.

Back on topic, I'm glad more people are noticing her. For her talent, and her beauty. Seeing the recent uptick in really positive Korean YouTube comments on her videos has been so heartening to me. Of course, she doesn't need their validation, but it's nice to see their positive attitudes because she truly deserves it.

They definitely perform like a well-oiled machine that's built to last. Regardless of whether you're a fan of the group or not, it's clear that their team chemistry is top-notch, and it speaks volumes about their high performance ability. Personally, I've never watched these girls perform and not had a smile on my face or felt thoroughly entertained. The group's consistently fun and positive energy, matched with their polished performance ability are their biggest draws for me, and I really enjoy when they lean into that. I only have respect and appreciation for their efforts in this regard, especially in the face of the unnecessary vitriol they've experienced recently, not to mention the lackluster and ill-conceived manner in which the company handled it. I'm just happy they're still doing what they do best: spreading fun and positive energy into the world through music. I'm not a stan, but I enjoy their music and I'll always root for them.

And yes, I concur, the girls are indeed gorgeous. Their visual chemistry as a group continues to improve with every comeback.

Also, that chill but confident moonwalk is a very nice touch. The classics never get old.

It's hilarious. I love that it doesn't take the genre too seriously. Although it's quite exaggerated, there's just enough social commentary sprinkled in to anchor the more outlandish moments. And say what you want about Jisoo's acting, I've personally found her character a treat to watch as she stumbles her way through a zombie apocalypse in pursuit of her love, all the while being far more badass than the soldier characters with guns.

It's nice to see the love and positivity. Jennie worked hard and she deserves this moment.

I appreciate the effort compiling this.

Hwasa clearly knows there's nothing sexier than confidence, and she has that in spades. She's a joy to watch perform.

I only make meme or BABYMONSTER/Ahyeon threads these days

I know that image hurt, but don't worry, I've got a remedy for you.

Cleanse that unfortunate image from your brain with the many sides of Ahyeon:

Slayeon

Yaxian

But also in the spirit of things:

The actual Ahyeon

That JWU hair... She's so unserious and goofy. Looking like she woke up like 3 minutes before the Newark sound check. Although the abs never seem to sleep...

Next up is another one of my faves. This one is well known, but it's still one of my favourite random moments:

Ning²

This goofball never fails to put a smile on my face.

One more of my faves. Considering the event, I couldn't believe the audacity of this one:

Yel

Although it elicited a hearty laugh, I'm not sure who decided to put this bundle of joy in that particular top... I mean, it definitely grabs your attention... and uh, I guess it wasn't exactly false advertising. It certainly gave my mum a good laugh. As odd of a choice as it was, let's just say it only momentarily distracts from this lovely girl's gorgeous and infectious smile.

Isn't that just her default setting?

28?

It would seem there were too many blessings to count... Anyway, all the girls looked great and they seemed to enjoy themselves. Shame it conflicted with Mimi's filming schedule for Earth Arcade.

Yooyeon, Yeonwoo, Isa and Asa mix

I was getting Yeonwoo and Asa from these pictures. Yooyeon and Isa make a lot of sense too. Not a bad mix of people to resemble.
