th fuck are you talking about? lol he loves bibi and help her since day 1, she is at this very moment ending the 88 set
if you don't follow up with her and/or tiger jk and the company them shut up pls
But then he pulled a Fifty Fifty on Bibi.
He did nothing to promote Bibi when her song was hot, so she was rarely seen and the craze faded.
But isn't she smashing right now?
Defeated by Gidle.

Put Minju's face at the thumbnail
Seems the boss of Belift knows where the wind is blowing from, deciding to finish off baemon now
i didn't watch the show or any of their clips so i didn't know about this at all. are there really clips where they're upset about wonhee? also who did she replace?
i love your analysis by the way
I watched it
And found only Yooah tends to react with Wonhee
Unfortunately the recent Hybe act might have ended such possibility
I don't pay attention to Coachella, but aespa was already defeated by KPop's Greatest Anachronism back in 2021 while LS had chosen to pay filial duty to her prior to going to Coachella.
WTF???? Who made this up??????
Random pockets of antis from both fandoms that have nothing productive going on in their lives????
[ Sighs deeply in disappointment ]
Such is life, Not everything in life has to be productive
Just last year when they were gearing up for the debut, their fans were screaming "newjeans enders" and now they are suddenly "I'llit's rivals"?
That is how it had ended up
YG did not plan well about this
Even the title of 2NE1's successor might pass to Illit whose main vocalist, someone who trained with BM, reproduces the YG sound better than BM themselves.
Itzy never rose at the level of aespa so there was no rivalry
They would have operated unopposed if their debut did take place at the correct time
About 2200 years old, Xiang Yu, the King of Chu, and Liu Bang, the Emperor of Han Dynasty, were fighting for the complete control of China. Despite of the title of Xiang Yu seemingly lower, his military power was superior and Liu Bang was getting hammered everywhere.
Liu Bang had a general called Han Xin, who was a lieutenant under Xiang. Liu , trying to break the disadvantageous situation, sent Han Xin, who had joined Liu Bang because Xin had no opportunities under XIang.
Han Xin led 30,000 to conquer the northern state of Zhao, which was allied to Xiang. The King of Zhao and the Prime Minister commanded a force said to be 200,000. Whatever the number was, it was significantly larger than Xin's forces.
Xin's forces were mostly untrained and could flee.
Han Xin decided to position his untrained troops just before a river, so if they retreated they would have no choice falling into the water.
Zhao's much more numerous forces attacked Xin's forces , planning to drive them into the riverbed. However, with their backs on the water, Xin's forces fought like what, while Han Xin himself had sent a detachment, no more than 1,000, behind the lines to raise his flag behind the Zhao lines.
The much larger Zhao forces collapsed, and the King and Prime Minister of Zhao was captured by Han Xin and killed. Xiang Yu lost a huge ally in that region, and that was the beginning of the end of XIang.
A former trainee ruining his former boss.

BabyMonster was 4 years in the gestation, full of fanfare although not without its hiccups as its most promising member did not join for whatever reason, and it debuted two times, November 2023 and April 2024. (I only count the first one.)
And when it debuted, it was said to be the second coming of BlackPink, with the world watchimg.
Its members trained for more than 4 years, except the Thais who trained for about 3 years.
I don't think anyone in YG, or , indeed, Hybe entertained the idea that Illit would become a deadly rival of BabyMonster.
Illit was in gestation for less than 9 months , starting with R U Ready at the end of 2023.
It had Park Minju, the YG Trainee who trained with BabyMonster; Noh Yunah, who was with Fantagio, two Japanese members who cannot sing to save their lives, and one who did not know where she was at. From the few available clips of them, it seems it is hard for Minju and Moka to hide the fact that they are 'uncomfortable' with Wonhee, whom, they might think, had taken the spot of someone they knew and were more attached with. There seems to be 2 factions in there, Minju-Moka and Yunah (who spent the better part of her trainee days at Fantagio and came to Hybe later than Minju)-Wonhee, with Iroha in the middle but likely to side with Moka since both are Japanese.
Most of Magnetic is sung by Minju, with the Japanese members given short lines and Wonhee mostly 'singing' the meaningless 'bae bae' and the first and last lines.
By doing so Belift , or Hybe, brought the older YG style to Hybe, while post-Teddy YG had abandoned the familiar YG style which led Big Bang, 2NE1 and BlackPink to huge success.
Illit is likely to win today's Inkigayo and Baemon is on the list of performers there. While it is likely that its perf will be prerecorded and it won't stay to bother to watch its former trainmate winning the first #1 from Inkigayo, the long playground of YG acts, it would be strange that a former trainee completely derails the plans of an entire company, who had put everything on BabyMonster, something nobody in Hybe and YG planned about.
(It is certain that Hybe did not really think too much about Illit's debut song, since it promoted txt within 2 weeks , making it collide with Illit at Music Bank and Music Core, something the txt members probably did NOT expect)
Magnetic might go down with the most successful 'YG' song in the recent years, possibly even the next 'Gee'. Which might signficantly change the course of Baemon.
It didn't have to be this way, but the circus around Ahyeon led to this disaster for BM.
Oversaturation
There are simply too many acts for the older male fans to follow
Wonder whether it will enter even the Hot 100

Funny since Eunchae is younger than 3/5 of Illit and if Youngseo did not leave 4/6 of Illit.
Currently, it's about Illit or Babymonster for the next gen throne.
If Illit is not on the way, we could have had the biggest gen war breakout among 4th/5th gen fandoms.
5th gen needs to get through Illit to touch anywhere near other 4th gen powerhouse, think about it. They are the barrier.
Unfortunately Illit seems to be much better financed than GFriend and will probably block BM's path, and it does not help that Illit does have a member who can read every single move of the BM members
And the situation is more like Girl's Day and APink. They are the 4.5th generation, not the 5th. And even without Illit, at most Baemon was on the way to become the BlackPink of the 4th Gen, not the harbinger of the 5th gen.
Yknock, I know you were there when both those groups.debuted, andnI lnow youndidn't give a shit aboutneither back then cause you were busy getting drunk on the chatshire scandal..
But there's like a solid 3 months between twice's debut and Gfriend's second hit, not even their first.
Twice debuted Oct 20 2015
GF's famous falling incident, which put it on the map, was on Oct 3 , 2015
Which led to this awkward situation
I think I commented at that time about this
Lovelyz - at that time an SM act, somewhat like what NMixx is to Twice now
Twice
GFriend , from a nugu company, run by a former manager of JYP
The very fact that Twice and GFriend were used in the same sentence would have been a big shock to Twice
