K-Pop (General Discussion)

They may beat BTS’ record today. Wow!

They deserve this, their output is fantastic!

 

[HippoSteaks]

I think I need to know more about this whole ordeal before I can make a proper opinion on this. I think there's some good (OT12 for starter, and just you know...activities in general for the group!!) and bad to this (UMJ already are threatening some form of legal actions, also unclear exactly how removed BBC will be from this, if BBC will keep making money out of Orbits, if there's gonna be a budget because there certainly wasn't the first two Japanese releases, etc), but essentially this doesn't seem much different to what happened with EXID when their contract ran up but they were still expected to carry on activities as a group in Japan because their contract over there was still on-going.

I am basically waiting for the girls reaction to this news, because they’ve been honest so far.

 

[junglefish]

Aaa... gorgeous.

GQ Korea being the only news media (aside from shit like Allkpop and Koreaboo) to report on Lucas’ return is…interesting???
This very much seems like good press for him, which I find kind of shocking…

If the title track from the new Twice mini is anywhere as good as Talk That Talk then it's over for me.

 

[Attis]

Artronic Waves

BADD

Monotree Assembly Cast

The Hub

 

[Monado]

Are these the songs teased in those Song A vs. Song B duels? Because if so, we're about to eat

 

[Salami]

Disappointed? Yes I am.

I just listened to the GOT the beat mini and I can't believe some silly girls have been saying it's not good when it's, in fact, literally front to back bangers. Maybe it's too ahead of its time for certain people.

 

[ysev]

Oh god oh no oh god…

not Steve Aoki as well…

 

[Wills]

not Steve Aoki as well…

I wonder if SM consider GOT The Beat selling 110k so far as a flop?

They aren’t silly girls they are serious girls, I fear.

It absolutely is in this current landscape of most •bigger• girl groups selling at least half a million within the first month. But then again it easily outsold anything BoA has released in the past 10 years. So I guess it served its purpose.

I think the unit can be put to rest now.
Gives us the aespa album @smtown

 

[Shockbox]

I’d like to see Got The Beat continue but yeah give RV and Aespa enough comebacks so that their fans actually support this group too.

 

[leedlelee...]

Me and Ice Spice in a love triangle with Taeyong???
I feel bad for her…

 

[Gashina]

Hear me out on this…
SM wants to debut Naevis but doesn’t have someone to “voice” her
So… what about Sunny… like that can be her place in Kwangya.

 

[Slice of Life]

New girl group already? Oh I know the Little aespadrilles will be mad (as they should; aespa only has two mini albums to their name pleek!!!!!)

But I guess we shouldn’t really take this seriously because SM has been spewing the same shit since 2021 JWHSHSHSSHSHSJJSSJ!! All talk and no action bye!!
