nice im glad people are giving meovv more love these days

yama still catching strays while banned

Love to see it, this is such a nice song, one of my favorite off the album

very exciting!!! AIIYL is easily one of my top 5 favorite k-pop songs, can't wait to see them cover!!

Another Meovv bop! its a pretty tame song but i really liked it, their vocals sound great and gawon rap went off. Narin in her Pinksé era.

I mean, young kids doesn't have the same stamina, experience, not to mention mental condition.

In my opinion, no one under 21 should go on a massive World Tour like this, but this is Kpop, you're basically finished when you hit 28 or so. That's why agencies debuting teens since the beginning. They have a good 7-10 years in the industry IF they're lucky and that's all. People are not interested in 25 or older Idols. They want "Cute puppies".

What you're saying is the problem. These girls (and boys) worked for years as trainees, didn't even have a real life, and now they're on a World Tour 1 year after their debut.

I have to add this as well. The fans are just as guilty in this toxic environment like the agencies. Fans are so easy to mislead. They watch a nice bts video about Idols saying: "Oh, we love to do this, we love working 24/7." and 2 weeks later, fans acting surprised why Idols are physically and/or mentally ill, and out for weeks.

I mean, just in the past couple of weeks, I read articles about like 5 or 6 different Idols taking a break for health reasons.

To be honest, I'm not surprised fans don't stand up and boycott agencies (not just YG), because most of them are just as young as these girls, they don't know better. Most of them only care about popularity, and just want to see their faves. That's why Kpop agencies can exploit these young kids, Idols, and their fans too.

Trust me, most Idols have zero say in what they can do. Especially when it comes to tours. It's not just Idols, btw. This is the whole Korean society. People working without break, almost, that's why they drink so much alcohol and have so many suicide cases. If you don't work hard, you're out for good, basically.

I remember when MAMAMOO fans tried to boycott RBW because the girls worked non-stop, I think it was when they did the 4Season Project, 4 EP in a single year, plus concerts and other things. And they are not underage girls, so imagine how hard it is for much younger girls. The expectation are so high (from the fans and companies) you need to be a superhuman to jump higher.

There's a reason we say: slave contracts in Kpop.

I'll give you a rare reply. Well said, David.

Quote from StanGIDLE

The key part might be their age. There's a fitness level needed to enure touring. At a young age it's most likely difficult to condition body to prepare for a tour. There's more chances for risk of injuries due to body not being conditioned. I assume most younger idols aren't fully conditioned for a heavy workload. Also, there's a major difference between 16-18 because body is still developing and an extra year or 2 can make a major difference.

Good points, can't really argue that. I think maybe I've gotten too old and now 2 years no longer seems like a big difference lol, but I suppose it is as that age. I guess I'll just say that I want to believe that they are not over exhausted and that this tour is more of an exciting experience than an exhausting one, even if it is work at the end of the day.

Quote from StanGIDLE

I am most likely doing too much assumptions on my part, but it's something to consider. I assume YG knows better than us because they've been in this industry for a long-time and most likely know limits of their idols. Well, I should say I hope they know but a person that is working in a group environment will push themselves and hope some aren't pushing themselves too much.

yea I imagine it's really tough to speak up in a situation like this because you don't wanna disappoint fans and your group members, but I am glad she will get the rest she needs.

Quote from StanGIDLE

Hope she gets better soon. I wonder if this group is being overworked because it seems a bit odd for a younger group to be this active.

I think it's possible they are being overworked but I do wonder what them being young or underage has to do with any of this. I just don't really see why it matters if they are 16 or 18, what difference would that make?

If anything, I would think these young ladies who have worked for years to reach this point are quite excited to be able to travel the world and perform and receive praise from thousands of fans. And I know this because they have expressed this multiple times in vlogs/interviews. So instead of assuming YG is working them to death, I like to also consider that Rami herself has been pushing through this so she can meet monstiez and perform. I know if I were in that position, I would not wanna miss being a part of these performances.

I'm not defending YG but unlike what I see from most k-pop stans, I like to consider that the idol actually has a say in their activity...even if they are a young new group.

I'm glad she'll be able to get some rest, she was not looking well in some of their recent clips from concerts.

I really hope she is able to recover and come back ASAP, but you gotta do what you gotta do for yourself. And while I am glad to have had the chance to see them live, YG has really been overworking these young ladies with this tour and now a slated comeback, I just hope they all get a break at some point.

Quote from Varenka

Meant to vote blop. It's pretty okay leaning towards boring. Feels like it was phoned in.

that's high praise coming from you

This is baemons first JP single for the live action adaptation of Mieruko-chan, how do you feel about it?? For me its somewhere between blop-bop but I'll give it a bop cus of baemon. I love the vocals from Rami and Ahyeon at the end and it's pretty catchy.

Quote from Yama-Chan

That will make things a little less boring. I am not opposed to it.

Anything to spice up this slow slog of a year.

I'm so bored that I had to make this thread, over so many others I had planned but couldn't force myself to make because 2025 just SUCKS.

I almost went back to being a sports forum regular due to how boring K-Pop is right now

don't worry, I expect you will get plenty of excitement from blinks around June.

Quote from Yama-Chan

They better get a #1 hit next comeback or I'm going to have something to say about what they're doing to the YG girl group standard and brand

If they do I will be even worse than icyruios and Day6
