kpop fans call groups from smaller companies nugus, no matter how successful they are. and they praise groups only because they come from big companies. This is disrespectful and hypocritical.

They did so with many groups like gfriend, momoland, brave girls and now fiftyfifty. and this gatekeeping and shittalking is the exact reason why this vicious circle hardly stops and why groups from smaller companies have such difficulty and big companies have such easy time guarantee success. So of course this behavior should get called out.

there’s a difference between shit talking and objectively talking about the state that specific groups are in. if you have a problem with the former, go complain to those actual kpop stans instead of mindlessly grouping them with posts like mine and then talking like me saying that groups from nugu companies have the odds stacked against them and therefore have to work harder to prove themselves is somehow a slight against them when it’s ironically the opposite if you actually comprehend my point lmao

The double standards on this forum sure gives me the ick

Big company group release one good song = It's GP recognition/stanned because of music/generational leader

Nugu company with good song = Oh its just one hit wonder/they need to prove it hm/ must be lucky

Like dude Cupid is a hit and girls are talented, enjoy the music and let the artist grow

Good luck fifty/fifty for more success!

spoken truly like someone who has absolutely no idea who the music industry works lmao there’s a reason idols try very hard to become trainees at big companies; the perks of debuting there compared to floundering in the dark with a nugu company starting from scratch are worlds apart. it’s a fact that big company groups have a lot more job security while nugus have to work a lot harder once they debut to reach the top and actually sustain their success. acknowledging this fact that history has proven countless times does not mean discrediting groups from nugu companies; in fact it actually says a lot more about the hard work they need to put in just to stay on the same playing field. but alas no one could accuse kpop stans of having critical thinking skills and all that

Quote from hendriesantio

I mean AKP citizen are yet to count them as strong group.

that’s bc there’s a sharp distinction between a hit song performing strongly on charts and a group having multiple high charting songs due to a strong brand identity. fifty fifty has yet to get the chance to prove they’re the latter, and we know their position is much more precarious than groups managed by bigger companies and thus can’t rely on a dependable fandom to prop up their next releases on principle alone. that’s why you don’t see them touted as a “strong group” yet, and it’s not an unreasonable reaction as of rn at least. only the future will tell how they’ll fare and grow as a group and if they’ll cement their brand name or if this was just another case of a flash in the pan one hit wonder

Oh i thought the tracking ended at 12 am? If it's 18 hours then all the more time for them

it’s 18h35 in korea rn. there are 5.5 hours left of tracking before the day ends

76/120 for a gg stan..

that kim lip picture is such a scam. it does not look like her at all lol

Is.. that a lot? I don’t watch this show so i have no frame of reference to tell what this number means and if it’s out of the ordinary or not

It’s always funny to see kpop stans react to phenomena observed long before kpop even existed lol. One hit wonders have always been prevalent in the music industry; there are countless global hit songs from literally decades ago that still persist to this day, but ask who sang them and most people have no idea at all. Heck despacito was released only half a decade ago and yet 99% of people who’ve heard it can’t name who made it lol. In fact, even I don’t remember But i’m sure no one goes up to that dude to ask why even bother making despacito if it became successful but no one cares about him as an artist. That’s just silly. Kpop’s few one hit wonders have nothing on much more relevant global one hit wonders

OP, your true colours is showing and it ain’t pretty

Kinda off topic but are you Whi? Your lack of reading comprehension and obtuse logic seriously reminds me of that user.

man who says dumb shit thinks other people say dumb shit

Quote from xiaotingskeep1r

I haven't watched their shows either myself but I do think just because most the girls are underage, that the show has to be childish... they're teenagers! It's not black and white, a show can be catered to teenagers. But like I said, no idea how childish their shows are, just kinda a response to the points made above

The point isn’t that this show has to be childish. It’s that it should not be surprising if it is, like op is acting as if it’s unfathomable why kids act like kids. These two points aren’t the same thing

Quote from thebadguy

Never heard of this flop?

hardly surprising for a flop to say this whether trolling or serious

Quote from kirishiki

It is crazy how Twin version managed to have over 5 million daily streams without big fandom support 2½ months after release. And it is just only one version. I have never seen something like this ever in kpop.

i think this is extremely normal for how viral songs perform on charts. most of the time genuine hit songs stay high not due to fandom streaming at all. it’s time we stop treating this song like a usual kpop song reliant on the usual fandom streaming tactics and just look at it like any song that went viral globally from any genre or language. people stream the song bc they like it, not bc they’re a hardcore fifty fifty stan trying to make them stay afloat on charts lol

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

I'm too lazy to research but is this the "You Belong With Me - Love Story - Back to December - All Too Well - Enchanted - Long Live" era? This was her literal peak and probably the peak of American pop music in the 21st century

yeah it is and it’s definitely my favourite taylor swift era too in terms of music. it’s understandable that she moved away from country for more mainstream commercial success but what she did back then is sorely missed rn

It’s a textbook taylor swift song circa 2008-2010 lol

Quote from keyboardwarrior7

Thom Browne really did! I saw a pic of all the people they styled, and they had multiple really strong looks from Jenna Ortega, Janelle Monae, this guy I had never heard of called Shai Gilgeous Alexander, yeah...It was a feast for the eyes.

yeah thom browne’s designs were great but what really elevated his outfits for me is the impeccable well-fitted tailoring and that he designed them with each wearer’s personal image and style in mind; every outfit is unique for each celebrity and suits their individuality, instead of looking generic or run of the mill similar to some other outfits that someone else might also turn up in.

All outfits stick to the theme while still displaying thom browne’s personal touches in style. Chef’s kiss 👌

I love his collection for last year’s met gala too, and bonus points for getting the theme and understanding the assignment when so many celebs missed the mark and just wore whatever they wanted lol
