One of my favorite Christmas songs

A major throwback to the iconic BLACKPINK Christmas medley

It's so simple but so genius how they used parts of both choreographies ("MEOW" and "BODY") for this.

They're really reminding of STAYC lately.

Finally a LE SSERAFIM performance!

The hype for MEOVV was there in the beginning, maybe even more than BAEMON. That's why people were already making assumptions that they were going to rule 5th gen.

Remember these photos? A lot of people were excited. Do you think it's because of the lack of a SEA member in MEOVV? BAEMON has two SEA members. Or is it the members themselves?

I remember those pictures. People were definitely excited based on vibes. However, it was just that.

There was no official rollout for the debut aside from the member teasers.

But to be honest, I just don't see any 5th gen groups reaching BLACKPINK or NewJeans level if those are the numbers you're thinking of.

Both BABYMONSTER and MEOVV are going to succeed, but in the context of a niche. I think that's good enough for me.

I think people are expecting way too much of both groups, but that's just unfair and unrealistic. I feel like it takes the fun and enjoyment out of K-pop.

It's not that much of a surprise.

BABYMONSTER had way more official content before they debuted thanks to The Last Evaluation. People knew about the name "BABYMONSTER" or "BAEMON" years before we even knew who the members would be.

There was already a lot of anticipation for them because they're a YGE girl group, the first YG GG to debut after BLACKPINK at that.

Meanwhile not much came out about MEOVV. We only knew Teddy was working on a girl group, but not much was revealed.

I think most people care about both. I also think people know and are concerned about the working conditions for idols regardless of age and regardless of gender.

Due to how a lot of men are and due to how female entertainers are often treated and depicted, concern about female idols is understandably brought up more often.

This is not a good example of a "double standard."

There's absolutely nothing to argue about when it comes to the MADEIN CEO. Everyone's already thinking:

"LOCK HIM UP"

"HE NEEDS TO DIE"

Would it change anything if we get a thread of 200+ users all saying some variation of that?

MHJ isn't exactly a p*do by definition of the word, but her behavior is questionable nonetheless. Exploitative? That might be a more accurate word. Obviously, people are going to talk about her more and elaborate on why they think her behavior is problematic, especially when there's a percentage of people who think the opposite.

HOLY SHIT THAT"S TOMORROW

THANK YOU SO MUCH SUPERYAH

In about four hours!

Rei is great.

DMV2DMZ You should check this out. I like the beat. It sounds like a trap pop beat mixed with Christmas silver bells for the holiday effect. Kinda like what Ariana Grande's sound during the Sweetener and thank u, next days. Chung Ha is signed with Jay Park's MORE VISION label now, so I have high hopes for them to give her great beats with that R&B, trap pop sound. I think that's her lane.

Quote from JesseAlex

Yes!!!!! I cannot wait!!!!!

Is there a release date yet?

December 3rd!

The beat already sounds so great, and I have a feeling I'll like this song! Always rooting for Chung Ha! It helps that this is my favorite time of year, so I look forward to this even more.

A high note doesn’t equal to overused beat no one is surprised by TBL/yg being similar it just hilarious how they still haven’t grown and are doing the same thing over and over

You just don’t like that sound. Idols themselves acknowledge each of the big 4 companies have its own distinct signature style. There’s nothing wrong with this. Jinyoung Park has been making some variation of the same song for himself and some of his artists since forever.

Quote from killthisfenty

Yes Meow is dated but not generic however it’s nothing extraordinary this is the most teddy and he always use some genres from other countries most of his samples are Arabic.

Teddy didn't even produce the song. He hasn't produced any MEOVV songs so far.

I don't know why people expect any different, though. YGE and The Black Label will absolutely continue using their signature sound.

Other companies do this, too. SM always puts in the signature SM high note during the bridge of aespa's songs, and this has been done a lot in the generations of SM groups before aespa.

I like that signature sound from YGE, so I'll still like it regardless of which group is doing it. I think some people just exclusively like BLACKPINK when it comes to that sound.

It's interesting that you consider MEOVV's "MEOW" debut to be generic, but not dated. A common critique is that it's both generic and dated. I disagree with that, of course. I think the use of Brazilian funk on that beat is something almost no other group has done for their debut aside from maybe TRI.BE.

There's even a thread on Reddit in which the poster claimed something along the lines of:

"MEOVV's debut is proof the hip-hop girl crush concept is outdated and doesn't work in 2024"

The "we make 'em meow" chorus gives them a whole lot of identity. Such lyrics could only fit them, not some other group. This is why I think it's far from generic.

It's like a Brazilian funk beat heavily inspired by drill hip hop, something I haven't heard much in K-pop. I'd say it's extremely experimental, far from generic. I don't think you'd hear such a song from other groups, which is why it's so polarizing for a lot of people. You either love it or hate it; there's no between.

It's extremely catchy to me. It's probably just not for most K-pop fans because they're too used to the music that's popular these days.

I can see how you'd think "TOXIC" or "BODY" is generic, though.

Quote from David33

Your fandom really needs to put their shit together if they want to protect NJ. I remember when Moomoos boycott MAMAMOO's concert, because they were too tired. No BIG4 fandom would do that, sadly, they're too obsessed with numbers.
