No offense, but if you're going to proclaim being an akgae fan of only 2-3 members, why not stick to those individual threads instead of going to the OT12 thread and saying you don't like 75% of the group? Where is the common sense?

The synergy of the group would be weird if jline did not live with them. How else would they be forced to learn the languages off of each other? Learning a language is 100x easier when you are speaking it in your daily life to natives. If SakuNakoHiichan are all learning Korean through textbooks rather than a combination of textbooks + living with the Korean girls I don't think their Korean will improve well even in the 2.5 years. Same goes to the K-line with learning Japanese. This group will 100% promote more in Korea than Japan (hence why Mnet only let Koreans vote) so it only makes sense than the girls dormed with the K-girls rather than booking some hotels or whatever everytime they had a Korean schedule. IOI had NONSTOP schedules for the first few months of formation. It would be exhausting for the J-line to keep flying back and forth

Um as a Red Velvet stan this is not correct. Irene is the face and the center... If you watch any of their live performances Irene usually starts the song in the center and ends in the center... and is usually the center during the first chorus and the last chorus (most of the time not all the time). Majority of the time the center and face are synonymous because the face is supposed to grab the attention of the public so of course they're the center of the dance formations. -- That rumored list of CFs they are coming to slay!

I honestly think those loud akgae fans are the minority. Stop giving them so much attention. I'm sure their debut will be fine and once they become successful people are going to act like they've always stanned them are were a part of their success

It's a little absurd that the girls still do not know the terms of their contract even at this point. How hard is it for management to explain it to them? -- It's fun going back and finding stuff with the members in it now. Minjoo looked so pretty here

Was Nako the center for this single? She appears so much. Her power

The OP of the tweet already said the 55% was supposed to be 50% it was a typo

I'm fine with the final versions as well. I do wish they released them as Izone versions though so they could be an official artist on Melon already

I think they mean Izone versions? IOI released OT11 version of Crush after PD101 ended

In order to be an "It Girl" aka a CF queen you need to have marketability to both female AND male fans. That leads me to believe that Wonyoung, Nako, and Minju have the best potential except with Nako's height it may cause issues (Irene is constantly dragged for being short). Wonyoung and Minju so far definitely seem the most suited to be center for CFs. Both are tall, have good proportions, are popular with both males and females, and have pretty faces. I'd say Minju has a more classic beauty, but Wonyoung has a more exotic type as in it's a less common face. I think they both have their own appeal. I think all of their CFs at least the first 10 or so will be group though and since Wonyoung won #1 she will be center of CFs for their first few. After that it will depend on who the company sees as the most marketable. If they get CMs in Japan, I think Sakura and Nako will definitely be the centers with Hitomi on the side unless one of the Korean girls blows up in Japan or something lol

It's not that YouTube created a wrong algorithm, it's just that fans needs to stop spamming videos and then getting mad when those views get deleted. What do you think is going to happen? Views are used to determine pay for ads, if you're not actually viewing the video, why would YouTube want those views to count? Its paying money for a fake view

Yeah as a native english speaker I read it as I-zone rip

I want them to have these type of songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEL4bkes82w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1hxg1rY17I

BETTER BE EARLY OCTOBER! BUT YAS FINALLY SOME CONFIRMATION. WHERE IS THE NEWS ABOUT THE REALITY SHOW THO

Minju being loved equally by men and women. future it girl confirmed!

I'd be Ok with BEP.

I don't think the GGG actually meant Global but just Mnet hyping things up because it sounds fancy. If they're not even going to have the Japanese members in the group permanently, the show was useless. However, I can understand the concern about two important HKT members being absent from HKT48 for an extended period of time. I think the first year should be exclusive and the last 1.5 should be free to promote with individual companies BUT it's limited and cannot interfere with group comebacks

Yeah I didn't even notice until the We Together performance but during her little dance break her legs looked SO long jfc

That would essentially make the whole purpose of the show useless

I think many people are forgetting that the ranking before the final was also inflated by points given by mnet based on the in house votes...

Whoa I just saw that DDDD is almost the Top viewed Kpop music video again in the last 24 hours. That's pretty insane

Hm, this is always the argument you guys fall back on. I don't recall anyone saying YouTube is useless. However, these a record can hardly be considered a record if you don't know the accuracy. I mean if all videos on BigHit are getting views deleted that should show you that it's highly possible that many of their views are illegitimate and this stems from the obsession with YouTube views. I recall seeing something about Jimin surpassing Hani in fancam views a month ago. Now Hani is at 27M but Jimin is back down to 25M. Like... come on. If BTS views are constantly getting views deleted, it's not YouTube randomly picking on them and at the same time if this is happening you have to question how accurate their views really are for YouTube to be doing this.

They've been doing it for months now... lol

It's odd to have a chart where no one knows what the ACTUAL numbers are though. There are pages upon pages of discussion in here about the accuracy of certain songs first 24 hours views because a screen cap says this, but another source says this, and youtube says this. If no one actually knows the REAL view count, what's the point? At this point it's almost as if its literally guessing. I mean "Over 45M views" lmao. And the screen cap for idol was like 56M though right? That's an 11M difference... It's only going to keep happening. You know the screen caps are not accurate, and you'll depend on some random confirmation from another source.

I don't really have a ranking for the Top 12. Just know my faves 1. Minju 2. Nako 3. Chaeyeon 4. Yena 5-11. Random 12. Hyewon I hope their reality does start next week! I feel like they will be hilarious and cute together
