Bom Diggity

I'm sorry, but the company does shoulder a lot of the blame. There are people who say they support Namyu and do nothing, but there have been fans here supporting them since the beginning and this is in no way their faults. It really does have a lot to do with the company. Yes, they have been promoting them really well lately, with Kyungri being on all these shows, Sojin being cast in a drama, and Hyemi and Keumjo in the musical. Also the subunit idea I think was a great move on their part because it did sort of draw the line for the Mine community saying this is what the future looks like and helped ease everyone in to it, with pretty good success. They also avoided the year of silence we had in 2014 after the departures of Eunji, Lee Sem, and Sera. However, just because they decided to get their act together now doesn't excuse the fact that they were about 5 years too late. They should have been doing this kind of thing from the beginning so we could have avoided the implosion of the group that's happening now. It is no secret SE has a spotty track record when it comes to their artists. I don't think you can honestly say that its the fans fault when there were issues right as the group debuted. I also hold no ill will to those who are leaving the fandom when many of us have had to go through 2 or 3 lineup changes since the beginning. I don't think its weeding out the "fake fans" because there is only so much you can take when a group you like is changed, then changed again, and then remodeled into something completely different from what they were originally intended to be. This shouldn't be viewed as a test to see who true fans are of the group as opposed to one person in the group cause pretty much all the original members and the 2013 lineup members are gone. Of course you are going to lose fans, but can you blame people for leaving when all their bias members have left and all the members they recognize and fell in love with left the group. And now that the group is 9muses A which has a different style than 9muses I really wouldn't hold it against people to unstan. It has been an uphill battle from the beginning, and the majority of the fault is with the company because if they got their act together 9muses wouldn't be in this mess. And it all goes back to their debut, something the group has never been able to live down and that is the company's poor judgement for debuting them when they clearly weren't ready. As of now, it is what it is. We can control who leaves and goes. We can't control what SE does and what they don't do. All we can do is support them until the end and that is what a lot of us intend to do. But we sure as heck should not blame each other or the fandom as a whole for the lack of success these girls received because that truly is not fair.

Idk if this was posted, but its SE's response. "The contract with Hyuna, who has been with us as the member of Nine Muses for the past 6 years, has been terminated. After taking time to discuss the matter with Hyuna, we have decided to respect her desires to expand her career in other forms. Please give Hyuna, who led the team and worked her hardest as the oldest unnie of Nine Muses, your love and attention as she starts off anew." So we acknowledge now that Hyuna has been the leader of OT8 Muses. I'm just glad they announced Hyemi as the leader of 9muses A. http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/10/hyuna-is-the-next-member-to-officially-graduate-from-nine-muses

I'm glad you guys said that, I also feel weird stanning 9muses A cause it's not the same as the group I fell in love with, the style of 9muses A is not 9muses style. Also, why are they blatantly lying to us being like 9muses will continue as 5......we all see right through you SE

After all the mental prep I did, I still wasn't ready. I can't believe, including Sungah cause we know she's next, 4 Muses will have left this year......4 OF THEM!!!! Stupid SE. Why were these girls cursed with your crap management.

OMG YESSSSSSS, NON-BLURRY SELFIE SHOTS OF QUEEN BOM!!!!!!! SHE LOOKS SUPER CUTE, ESPECIALLY THAT SMILE IN THE SECOND PICK!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY SHE'S GETTING MORE AND MORE CONFIDENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA!!!! QUEEN CL SERVING FEMME FATALE VISUALS!!!!!!!!!

ME EITHER YO! I've been listening to that snippet of her new song since yesterday and I can't stop, and tbh I'm not even a huge fan of R&B type songs but her voice fit sooooooo well!!!!!!!! The exciting thing is I can definitely see that being played on American radio stations and getting airplay. I can't wait to see what else is on the EP, if everything else is as good/better than what we've heard so far, 'Murica betta watch out!

That's right! Although usually there will be a single or two before an album drops, but since CL is doing an EP maybe she has lifted as her single and then will drop the album next? If not, then maybe there will be another single in like November or something and then we can expect the EP to drop if everything goes well.

You guys CL crushed it! She totally amped up the crowd and you can tell they loved it. James seemed to have a good time singing the lyrics lol. Also, so Bom's religious........I don't get why this is controversial. It's a non-issue to be honest. It's common for people who are having a hard time in their lives, like Bom was with the scandal, to turn to religion so idk why people would get up in arms over it. Let her do her thing. Honestly we shouldn't even be talking about it aside from saying oh she's religious now, ok. I'm just not here for anyone who is going to give Bom a hard time.

lol truth! I was just scrolling by and reading some of the comments like but then when I saw the hate I was like what's the big deal and just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one thinking that way lmao.

Have fun Jan! Send our love!!!! Allkpoop wrote an article (or at least tried) about the 9muses samsung thing, but the comments are the most interesting. Idk if it was posted but take a look: http://www.allkpop.com/article/2016/09/nine-muses-hilariously-gives-up-on-any-chance-of-samsung-endorsements-by-dissing-the-note-7 The amount of people that think 9muses just committed career suicide is surprising. I even saw someone compare this to the Tiffany scandal (which is crazy, these are two completely different things). Do you all think this is such a big deal?

Queens of Nugudom y'all betta bow down

Yes these pics got me shook! Come on out Bommie the world is waiting for you to take it over!!!!!! She better keep these pics coming!

Sigh, well I guess I'll just dream that Dara took the pic and CL was standing somewhere in the room....I'm just thirsty for any sort of OT3 interaction at this point.

Same tbh. I'll be happy if it does happen but I'm not holding my breath tbh. Everything thus far has pointed in the direction of Hyuna and Sungah leaving.

YES MORE BOM PICS!!!!!!! I'm dying at the #sandarapark, what if she took the pic!!!!! lol She really does, but tbh she looks stunning in anything! Omg yesssssss CL!!!!!! Hopefully she'll get some sort of quick interview too but I'm pumped for her performance! Please take my country by storm CL with your cool beats, I'm sick of the same EDM over and over again!

So now that CL has dropped her first single and created some more buzz, do you think she will drop her album later this year/early next? Also I didn't realize this song is a cover/homage song, so I wonder how her original works on the album will be, like I wonder if they will be similar to this, more upbeat, more rapping as opposed to singing, etc. Also I wonder if she will try and incorporate some Korean in the lyrics. What do you guys think?

US iTunes update y'all: Hip/Hop Chart - 11 Overall Chart - 78 I'm really happy to see her climbing up the charts.

Lifted is 89 on US iTunes now! And also we are all blackjacks here, so lets be respectful of other people's opinions in this thread, if the song isn't for them/wasn't their cup of tea then let it be. For those who liked it and enjoyed it, feel free to spaz away, but we are all cheering her on to succeed!

It's cause she mentioned the full 9muses comeback so as of now it actually doesn't sound like 9muses A is the new 9muses, it sounds like they are two separate entities.

This song is perfect for the summer season tbh and a breath of fresh air compared to all of the super house EDM music that's on the American radio nowadays. It's chill and makes you want to just relax and enjoy, I think this is a perfect debut song for her, good job girl go get them!

I'll be so happy I'll probably go in to cardiac arrest....hope I'm not functioning any heavy equipment/automobiles when I hear it

I feel like you post this every other day, people still say girl to you lol I have no idea, it's a toss up really. Just need to be prepared the whole day! Anticipate the flip floppers of OH CL is in a really good position right now to be honest. She has not only an American music label backing her, but YG, her connections in the fashion/music industry she has made over the past few years who are all very well known in their own right. Now it's time to sit back and watch the Queen unfold everything she has been working on.

OH MY GOD THIS CL IS COMING! TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY TO CHECK OH! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, I CAN'T PROCESS THIS! HERE IS AN ACTUAL GIF OF ME AFTER HEARING THE NEWS 2NEWAYS, I do understand why VIP's are mad I would honestly be pissed to if it was the other way around. However as many of you have stated there is a big time difference between the US and SK, SK is 13 hours ahead of USA, so when CL releases her solo song, the day in SK will already be close to over. Also since it is a US release maybe YG is doing something for BB on that day in SK too, who knows with him and his trollish ways. Also, in the American music industry it is quite common for singers to just drop a song, album, whatever. When you are a new artist, there's really only so much hype you can get (and I realize CL isn't a new artist, but in the US she will be considered one cause Americans are too lazy to do any research about anyone) because you are new and nobody knows you/cares yet. The most important thing is getting airplay, downloads/streams on Spotify or whatever, buying on iTunes, etc and getting exposure this way. The connections she's been making are great and will be extremely useful, but now it is up to the song she comes out with. And the MV will probably drop at a later date if she filmed one for this or if the song becomes popular enough that she decides to make an MV for it since in the US they just drop singles and then see how they are received pretty much. Anyways I'm beyond excited, it will give me an excuse to actually listen to the radio again to try and see if I'll hear her lol EDIT: OMG I WAS SO EXCITED I FORGOT TO COMMENT ABOUT BOM'S POSTS ON TWITTER! QUEEN IS THROWING SHADE LIKE IT'S NOBODY'S BUSINESS AND TAKING THE WORLD BY STORM AFTER ONE TWEET! SHE'S TIRED OF WAITING ON YOUR ASS YG!!!!! #longhairdon'tcare

I don't follow SNSD at all and am not really a fan, but I don't think SNSD will go on a hiatus, but if this gets bad I worry for Tiffany's future with the group tbh and I'm not saying that to hate on her or the group or anything. I say this because now it feels like all the hate is disseminating to SM and their artists as a whole, and if she is the cause of the problem that may be an option for SM. I understand the issue, but I think a lot of this hate is getting blown out of proportion, and I am really really confused as to why international fans are jumping on the hate bandwagon when I feel like many of them don't understand the severity of the issue. I keep seeing death comments towards her and people saying she should join her mom (which I gather she has passed away) which is completely uncalled for and I honestly felt sick and disgusted reading those kinds of comments. Like I said before, I'm not a fan, but I do feel badly for her and I really think this is getting ridiculous. I felt similarly with Park Bom's "scandal" tho, and I use that word lightly because it was literally something someone dug up from the past and then everyone just decided to go along with it for absolutely no reason. I thought the hate Bom got was completely unjustified, and altho I'm a huge stan of 2NE1 (which is why I'm here lol) I would feel confident saying that even if I wasn't a fan. However I don't think the same outcome will happen for SNSD. And I don't think 2NE1's hiatus will last forever. Now that they've been trending for days SK seems to have forgotten all about Bom's scandal......altho you never know, YG might think differently. This is so accurate it hurts R.I.P. her album = R.I.P. my hopes and dreams tbh
