  1. She's the Krystal of the group and while I usually don't usually like this ice princess stereotype on the stage, I think she makes up for her lack of facial expressions with her dancing and "singing" (between quotations because while aespa is always lipsynching it's pretty obvious she has a really good voice). She isn't a lazy performer at all. 

    In fact, I feel like if Aespa was able to sing live or at least use a backtrack this would improve their stage presence enormously because they clearly can't lipsynch well and it makes them look more awkward than they should be.

  2. I don't know if it's because of the star power from all the girls but I really liked the song despite it being exactly the type of music I usually don't like or listen to from SM. Of couse the lyrics are a mess but I understand why they picked this song since it highlights perfectly the talents of every member. 

  3. Lipsynching in excess is a problem but isn't the main reason why they are not hitting big in the US. The song being in korean instead of english and the fact Savage isn't a public friendly song are the main issues. Also, while it's something subjective, I feel like western performers are being overhyped. Nowadays who else other than Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars can deliver spetacular performances? IMO the era of great performers pretty much ended in the late 90s and early 2000's. Even without the fancy camerawork and with the always present untalented group members, kpop performances have so much more details and effort. To me, they usually are much more entertaining.

    You made good points but you can't blame the members for this kind of behavior. Even if they said something, obsessed stans are now too far gone to listen to their scoldings. Hybe is the one at fault here (just like how SM is the one at fault for their groups' sasaeng disasters and not the SM idols themselves) for creating and encouraging this level of delusion around them. It's really noteworthy that, while being an eight year old group, none of the BTS members had any confirmed relationship for example and no one can convince me that it's not because Hybe wants to keep the lucrative narrative of the "seven pure single boys who only live for each other and their fans" for as long as they can.

    See, I agree with you what said about the companies playing a huge part on this. In BTS's case though, this becomes a little bit more complicated because they are the most famous boyband in the world right now and a veteran group in Korea. At this point they don't need to go into such lenghts to not create boundaries with their fans. It's possible for them to keep the image HYBE wants them to keep and stand their ground when it comes to situation like this one. Taehyung could have asked people to stop harrassing Jennie and it wouldn't hurt his image or make fans any less obssessed with him but instead he said nothing. It makes me think the members themselves like to feed into this unhinged behavior which IMO is irresponsible and very dangerous to themselves and the people they care about. Like many here already stated, if they keep going like this I can't imagine the meltdowns when they get into public relationships. It's going to be like what DBSK went through in the past only a hundred times worse.

  5. I can see SM testing the waters and keeping him in yearly comebacks but I'm leaning more towards him being perpetually on hiatus until his contract expires. Even if western fans are more willing to forgive him, they are not going to make up for the fans (and money) he lost in China. 

    Also, while I don't think they have a say in this, I doubt most members would be happy about his return because one of his controversies involved dissing one of them and he ended up jeopardizing a sub-unit. SM likes to keep the image of their groups like they all are bffs so there's that. 

  6. Oh my... where to start? The song is definitely not my style and I agree with the comments about it sounding like a NCT song. The girls looked like they wanted to be anywhere else and I don't blame them because so would I if I had trained years of my life to end up singing My naevis we love you.

    Everyone is proud of them, they are good citizens and need to be rewarded for their achievements. Like UK does with the OBE medals for outstanding work in their fields. But being directly linked to the government with a diplomatic passport, that is a bit much. And it doesn't make the artist really free to do whatever they feel like musically. Now they have the responsibility of the nation on their shoulders and that is a heavy weight to carry.

    I know some artists get blocked for years when an album they put out exceeds even their own imagination, now imagine what BTS has achieved. I don't know if this is healthy for them, they were just young ( still are young) guys who wanted to make music, I don't know if this is what they really wanted to do or they feel obliged to do. Don't underestimate cultural differences here  it would be a disgrace if they declined the offer. I hope they can carry the weight of nation and find some peace somewhere.

    Mte. Regardless of this making them hypocrites or not, it doesn't seem like the type of offer one can easily refuse without facing big consequences. Saying they shouldn't accept is easier said than done. Also it wouldn't be surprising if this was the cost of their military exemption.

  8. All the girls' solos proved to me how they are much better off as a group rather than soloists.  It's not like they shouldn't release more solo songs, but group comebacks should definitely remain the priority.

    The song is annoying, super repetitive and I couldn't even enjoy the MV properly because while it definitely had a high budget and Lisa looked gorgeous, it just felt empty.
