I remember the time when ReVeluv had a powerful fraction here on AKP. Then cannibalism has been happened in SM sandbox: aespa ate a large part of Red Velvet's fandom. Later Newjeans bit off another big pie.
Nowadays RV has no chance to step back on kpop Olympus again. I think Wendy will go solo. SM may launch viviz-like sub-unit Irene-Seulgi-Yeri to drain a coin from most loyal reVeluvs which are still in touch with a group.
Unfortunately, a bad management and Irene's attitude shortened a life of this project despite RV members are undoubtedly more talented and diverse than their young rivals."Irene's attitude" didn't shorten anything; they're still about as popular as one can expect given their age & SM's inability (or unwillingness) to capitalize on their succeses, and Feel My Rythm was one of their biggest hits, so let's not act like they've been nobodies operating on fumes since 2020. They don't care about any imagined "Kpop Olympus," they just want SM to do their jobs.
Wendy has already gone solo. Twice. She doesn't need to leave RV for that. And no offense to Yeri, but if anything happens to the full group, the Irene & Seulgi sub-unit already works just fine without her.

Joy also struggles with her weight and unlike actresses, idols are required to be super skinny full time. That alone can make her choose to go in full acting mode with a few RV group activities.
This also means that RV is not going to be very active as a group. They are all mostly going to focus on solo careers.
This is a bittersweet moment for me.
I'm not sure what's sweet about it, she isn't actually accomplishing anything just by potentially leaving SM, she's only putting RV's future into question. Leaving SM isn't a magic pill. If Joy wants to be a successful actress, she still has to put in the work, no matter who is signing her checks, and it seems a lot of K-netz aren't too enthused with her previous performances, so it could be an uphill battle if that's truly the direction she wants to take.
If Joy wants to prioritize acting over RV, then I wish her well, but she should leave the group. That would be the only fair outcome, versus the others having to wait around for her and letting it eat into their own productiveness (just like how they didn't allow her absence to stop them from doing an entire tour without her.) But I'll reserve judgment until we get a better idea of what everyone is thinking, as there are two others yet to renew.

You know, Lisa coming out with an official statement isn't the only type of confirmation, and it's pretty hilarious that you're still asking for any after seeing the mountains of evidence that already exist. At this point I'm convinced they could get married right in front of your face, but until she verbally confirms it, some of you still won't believe it.

Says the people unable to look into anything and spout bs lmfao.
"This reeks of "I didn't sincerely want to apologize, but here are the reasons I had to." Should've let sleeping dogs lie. She's lucky it didn't blow up bigger in the first place, and now she's mentioning it again?
Maybe you should ask her, she hired them."
How desperate are you, she didnt mention it a question was asked and she responded. Grow up.
You want me to grow up? I'm not the one clueless enough to think, "Yeah, I was forced to apologize for something I couldn't care less about, because Koreans are all old-fashioned and stuff" actually amounts to a decent response. She's shot herself in the foot again, but as long as you're there to reprimand the gun, she'll be okay!

I mean if people are unable to think properly and look at the full context which is why she apologised in Public that was her response which makes total sense.. but actually looking into it requires a iq which is hard for a lot of KPOP fans.
She was asked why she apologised publicy by a western interviewer this was the response.
Its not.. but sure
I guess she expects more from 0 iq people.. guess not based on how many people I have to reply to.
The question was fine? its just ignorant people not looking at the full context
She was asked a question on why she apologised this was the response.
Wrong it reeks of people like you ignoring the question and just looking at the answer and lose even more braincells.
Finally someone here has a brain that was the whole point.. she was asked why she had to apology which is why she said its the culture etc..
The whole interview was basically comparing the cultures.
The fact that it's you, of all people, accusing half the forum of lacking intelligence is just ironic beyond all belief. Did Jennie hire you for PR? Because you're doing just as bad a job as the rest of her label.

Curious that RV aren't included in this list.
Well Twice is a younger group than Exo, Shinee so I guess it is fair?
Also I don’t know about Exo, but Shinee is muuuch more involved in their albums, styling, songs and etc.
Key styles some outfits, Minho and Key write their rap parts! They write some of their songs each cb and have very deep creative input in Mvs and album styling. So I guess it saves funds
Twice also write several songs per album.

A few hours ago they got the fandom name wrong, now these!
Are there any professional staff on her team or the team is just random people who follow her around. Seriously, this is so embarrassing

Ehh use an alt mail account?
There's a reason they asked for your physical address and not just your email. They want to send that shit to YO HOUSE!

Idols make music for the money & fame. Let's not pretend that Twice don't have plenty of both.

There's no need to revive the group. It's time for them to do solo stuff and return for anniversary comebacks.
There's no need to revive the group because you cannot "revive" that which is neither dead nor inactive. They can do solos & sub-units while still actively promoting as a group, which is exactly what they're doing. It's not time for them to go idle until some far-flung anniversary rolls around. That might be acceptable for some other groups, but Twice are still raking in the money, even if it isn't coming from Korea.

I'm still shocked they didn't release a Mandarin version. Seemed like common sense.

aespas music has 0 western appeal
Is it the music? Armageddon doesn't exactly scream "eastern."
