    So I just listened to boots and its such a bop omg i don't stan gugudan but i might this time

     

     

     

     

     

    Right? I can't stop jamming to it, haha ^_^  Oh do consider stanning!

     

    If you thought The Boots was good, check out what else they've got to offer with their vocals:

     

     

     

     

  2. Hey guys! So as we all know, Produce48 is taking place soon, and rumor has it that Jelpi is sending girls onto the show. Now IF they were to....


    how would you feel about some of the other members going on there to compete?


    Perhaps it could help bring attention to the group & tackle their akgae issue. Thoughts?

    S/N: There's also a Chinese version of PD101 taking place, and I actually hope Jelpi considers sending Sally there for more exposure. They've never really tried to capitalize on a possible Chinese fanbase, and they could rly use to their advantage.

    Final Stage this comeback I believe

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E07Qzln45wM

     

     

     

    I really enjoyed this comeback.  The song was one of their best yet, the MV was great and their styling has been on point.  

     

     

     

    I do think work needs to be done though - certainly they need to go back and readjust the singing parts to even it out a lot more across the whole group.  JF also needs to do more to push the other girls and get them noticed.

     

     

     

    I am not sure what the answer is but JF need to find a way to unlock all of their potential and really get people back into the group.  There is far, far, FAR to much talent in this group for them not to get the recognition they deserve.

     

     

     

    Mostly, I hope JF don't wait to long to comeback again.  Let the girls rest for sure, but also don't leave it to long before coming back again smile.png

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    agreed~ 

     

     

     

    gugudan have all the talent in the world and deserve so much more success, jellyfish just need to start putting in a little bit more work for them. gugudan have been fighting against being only known as "sejeong's group" since debut and this comeback was a big step back in terms of breaking that wall down. the song is amazing and it's my favorite title track so far from gugudan, but the line distribution was a big no and with sejeong singing the majority of the track, fighting the stigma of just being "sejeong's group" is obviously going to be a lot harder for the girls and they don't deserve that. i have faith in jellyfish to let the others shine just as much with this next comeback so i hope they don't let us down.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Agreed with both of you. The Boots' line distribution obviously didn't work out (well it technically DID bring them attention...just not in the desired way, lol.) That being said, judging by how the line distribs were pre-Boots, I'm going to assume this CB was a test & Jelpi's going to resort back to fairer ones. I'll also give them kudos for pushing the girls onto more shows & programs this era, tho this needs to be a continuous plan and not just to make up for the backlash. More variety for members like Mina & Hyeyeon, more CFs/photoshoots for members like Hana & Sally, just more endorsements & whatnot to showcase the group's versatile gems!

     

     

     

    What Jelpi also needs to do is release a vocal-heavy pre-release track for Act 5 (or during the wait) to let their vocal prowess shine & build up hype. Gx9 has such a solid vocal line, yet the public doesn't recognize them bc Jelpi puts so much more emphasis on Sejeong's vocals (understandably so & it's far from a diss, but still.) There's a reason why the a capella version was so impressive to both fans & non-fans alike, and them having a track with a strong vocal presence would do wonders for them & even help break the "Kim Sejeong group" stigma.

     

     

     

    Jelpi may have its flaws, but I know they have Gugudan's best interests at heart.

    hi fellow danjjak! i've been planning on joining onehallyu for a while now and i finally just got around to doing it. if it isn't obvious from my avi, gugudan is my bias group and our chinese princess, sally liu xiening, is my bias member. i do love all of the girls of course, sally's just my fave. chuplz.png

     

    i've actually been following gugudan since debut and i guess even pre-debut since i was supporting the jelpi girls during pd101 and i'm excited to finally have a place to talk about and stan gugudan with other danjjak. gugudan really stands out to me and were able to become my bias group despite me being into kpop since 2015 is because i really am just so in love with their overall group concept. i love the theater aspect with each of their albums being an "act" and being based around some type of story like the little mermaid or puss in boots. (side note: rip gugudan theater from wonderland mv. gone but never forgotten. rlytearpls.png ) aside from just the concepts though, i've just never felt as attached to a group before as i do with gugudan. all the members just have such 4D personalities and their so much fun to watch and be a fan of. 

     

    i feel like this intro is getting kind of long so i'm just gonna end it with a ranking of my favorite gugudan title tracks. i'd love to know all of yours too~

     

    title tracks

    1. the boots

    2. a girl like me

    3. chococo

    4. wonderland

     

     

    Hihi baby danjjak!

     

    Welcome to OH and the thread! It's always a pleasure to see someone new join the fandom. Hope you have a good time here ^_^

    P.S. AYYYY Sally stan ♥♥

    FlawlessBlaringHedgehog-size_restricted.

  5. That gif is extremely hard to watch, wow.

    I hope Jellyfish takes note and rectifies the line and screen distribution next time. I don't get it though, they were more than fine for AGLM and Chococo (just rewatched them a few minutes earlier), but suddenly they messed it all up for The Boots.

     

    Anyway, still made a gif set to celebrate The Boots and Sejeong's killer parts. I'm probably the only one on OH having a The Boots related gif set, but oh well, the song is great and that MV was amazing, gotta celebrate that despite its flaws.

     

    I'm glad you pointed this out bc it actually makes me realize how fine the distribs were. Before, it'd lowkey worry me how much more love calls & gigs she got over the girls, and that would trickle down into me being weary of the lines (I know, it sounds weird.) But now, it's not like that at all. 

     

    Ngl, as wrong as it was, I'm starting to feel as though the intention wasn't bad behind the line distribs. But this will hopefully make Jelpi realize that this isn't the route to go. OT9 is alive & well! laugh.png Now if only we can snag some love calls & gigs for the rest of the girls...

  6. It was 3 days ago, but i didn't notice on live since I don't understand or speak Korean ^^"

     

    From what I've read on twt, it was full of akgaes asking for Sejeong to go solo. If any of you have seen that gif of Mina & Nayoung looking visibly bothered from their Happiness Traine vlive, it's likely that their reaction is from seeing those same comments. People need to give the girls a break & stop harassing them with the SJ solo BS. Sejeong has made it clear that she wants to be in the group, and if they actually had an ounce of decency (and even any love/support for her), they'd respect her wishes. 

  7. Is it bad I sunderstand why Sejeong was given so many lines now? Not condoning what they did, but seeing as how the distribution wasn't nearly as bad as The Boots, I guess Jelpi was trying to use her as their way of bringing attention to the group....only to have it backfire. I hope this means that their next release will be chock full of fair distribution, now that the backlash as simmered down.

     

     

    Jellyfish changed the thumbnail of the video after many complains of some people

     

     

    i hope seeing girls in the thumbnail makes people watch the video

     


    THANK YOU JELPI, OMFG.

  8. Thank you for your opinion but I will not buy.

    As Sejeong Flower Knight I'm totally offended.

    As Guguddanjakks I feel ashamed.

     

    If you are truely danjjak, you must put yourself in gugudan shoes. I don't think gugudan will be happy when read your article when you claim yourself as a danjjak, they must be broke down more than us when all this mess happend.

     

    Tbh SLY, I sort of have to agree. Given how the group responded to the issue, they're pretty aware of how widespread the "Kim Sejeong group" label is. It's obvious that there's no malice behind it, but at the same time, posts like the one you made only pushes the perception that the girls are inferior (not to mention that it also makes Sejeong look bad, even if you didn't mean to. unsure.png)

     

    Now I could be totally ignorant in my approach towards being optimistic here, but maybe, just MAYBE, this could be the attention that Jelpi could use to their advantage. If the public wants a better distribution, then release something with fairer distribution, preferrably something that focuses on their vocals. The a capella version of The Boots has been heavily praised, and maybe before this promotions period is over, they could have the girls do a full version onstage (either that, or release something like a single that focuses on their vocals.)

  9. So guys....I'm curious to know what you think:

     

    So judging by how Gugudan is doing right now, how effective do you think the Act concept is for the girls? 

     

    I'm not suggesting that the girls change it or anything, but given how the response between Acts has been pretty polarizing, it makes me wonder if this can sustain the group in the long-run. I mean, does SK or non-Danjjaks even recognize it? It gives the girls a chance to show versatility, though some people believe Gugudan should just stick with a concept that works with them.

    Thoughts?

  10. See, this is a mess. They apparently don't like this, yet they absolute s l e p t on Chococo. This is just ridiculous at this point. That, and the fanwar is just making things much worse. I hope & pray that the girls overcome all of this & find a way of snatching their first win somehow. They deserve it.

  11. OH, and I also want to point out that now I'm loving the song SO much more! It took me a few more listens, but the magic is definitely there. I said this in a tweet, but although it may not be exactly everyone's tea or met the expectations everyone had initially for the CB, the styling & dancing (and even the song itself) has a flirtatiously coy sort of vibe, yet mature at the same time.


     


    You know like how when someone's into you, they send subtle hints without giving too much away? That's The Boots. In fact, it reminds me of SNSD & their Mr.Mr. era, or some of their Japanese work: visually stunning, charming, an enigma that seems like something in a dream....but behind it all, there's a darker, more fiery ulterior motive. A lot of people expected something more....for lack of a better word, grandiose? Explosive, something AGLM-like. (Heck, I was taken aback that, too!) But once you see things through a different lens, you start to see how it all plays out. 


     


    TL;DR: Think A Girl Like Me, but grown up and going from being full-on open about liking something/someone, to keeping her tricks up her sleeve. Once she's got you....she knows she's still got it.

    they'll probably go high again during peak hours

    right now, at Zombie hours only groups with stong fandoms chart

     

     

     

    RISE GIRLS â¤â¤â¤â¤

    The peak hours start in 2.5h don't worry

     

    Ohhh okay, thanks guys! I still have a hard time figuring out SK & its peak charting hours, lmao. If I'm thinking about it correctly, did Jelpi release it during zombie hours so that most people will discover it during the peak? Or am I missing something, ugh XD

  13. OK so I decided to re-listen to the song a few more times later on, and I can say, it's not as bad as I thought it was. It's not exactly as instantly infectious as AGLM (in its ENTIRETY) in my opinion, but after a few listens, you'll definitely be bumping to this.

     

    Give it some time, and you'll see the song's magic. #TheBootsWasNeverAFlop 👢 #SnatchDatFirstWinGirls ðŸ†

  14. You know what, I was going to write a REALLY long post abt what I found wrong with the CB, but then I started to realize something as I was watching their live Vlive...


     


    ....truthfully, this CB has its flaws, but at the end of the day, the girls worked hard & practiced heavily for this. For us. Sure, the line distribution may not be the best, and there may be a few other thing here & there, but they just want us to be proud of them (and after the flak they got for Chococo, I'm gonna root for them hard.) Who knows, the song could be a grower & we all know how reactions to songs can change over time. (It's only day one, anyways, lmao.) 


    Let's still try to snag that win for our girls, just so they know their work wasn't done in vain.

    #EDIT: Also allow me to add that the dance break is bomb, and anyone who says otherwise, is lying. The dance moves may not be of a b-boy (or in this case, b-girl) sort of thing, but it's the FIERCENESS that they exude during it.

    Oh really? Wow that’s bad. I hope that they solve the issue with the original choreographer.

     

     

     

     

     

    Yeah, it hasn't caught on much from since when I last saw it, but some people are comparing her choreo to the choreographer's dancing for DTK in the video below.

     

     

     

    Hyeyeon's vid:

     

     

     

     

    The video that everyone's referring to:

     

     

  16. Oh and guys, I really do believe that if the leaked tracklist is legit, then the album could be  filled with bops, ESPECIALLY Lovesick. Albi Albertsson who worked on On & On, Chained Up, and a slew of Big 3 artists' songs? Then Caroline Gustavsson, who worked on tracks for Shinee, BoA, SNSD, etc...


     


    ....I'm ready to be #SLAIN!

  17. From my understanding, there were more trainees that companies have sent out, but the PD101 team selected the trainees that eventually became the final 101.

     

    So I have a feeling that they may have indeed pitched HyeYeon to join the show and just didn’t make it through the final screening, or they just didn’t send her at all. Maybe her age had a huge factor in it, as she may have been too young at the start of the show to participate.

     

    Ah, that makes sense now. Tyty for pointing that out! ^_^

  18. HyeYeon is in both the vocal and dance line. An ace member indeed!

     

    Sometimes I wonder why Jelpi didn't send Hyeyeon to PD101. Not saying the other girls aren't worthy of being on there, but there's something abt Hyeyeon that makes her a valuable asset to the group. Not only is she one of the group's strongest dancers, but she has a decent voice, nice visuals and plenty of charisma onstage. Anyone feel that way?

  19. You know, I feel like I'm one of the only people who sees something positive in the girls' teaser pics for Night & Day. 

     

    The fact that the Day shots are so primped & pristine-looking, soft and gentle-appearing is the quintessential idea of something being seen as "innocent", "good", positive. The same goes for the Night shots, except in that case, the girls are cast against a basic, run-down yet simple "concrete"-like backdrop. Those shots, with the harsh lighting & rather unpolished look, gives off the appearance of being "bad", "negative", "guilty." Given how the reactions towards the teaser pics themselves have been mixed (with people praising the Day shots for appearing so dreamy and alluring & criticizing the Night shots as not good or what-not), it would not surprise me if there's more to this than just what meets the eye. Jelpi's been known to slip in an underlying meaning or story into VIXX's work, and with Gugudan, I could see them holding something back until CB day comes.

     

    Basically, perhaps this all tie into the taboo surrounding the Cait Sith itself. To some, it's a mystical, enchanting fairy (Day), while to others, it's nothing more than just a sinister, feline-like witch (Night).
