I- 

Do they not have at least one person in the company who knows the implied meaning of the word "noob"///? (Even if it's supposed to refer to something else )

It's such a tragic name for a tragic company's concert lmao

Like 99% of it is overdramatic

About four major "controversies" come to mind, two members being photographed on an alleged double date with girl group members, two members' SNS posts when they were younger (only one of which was actually iffy imo, it wasn't that bad and it was a long time ago like I said), one member saying he forgot about doing a vlive or something ("rude" apparently) and another member saying "ching chong"

That's basically it I think

EDIT: Also that's their official group twitter so I doubt he posted it himself

Ahhh, I see, thanks! Some of these dating controversies really makes me miss 2nd gen with all the idol interactions :((

Oh, I forget that idols themselves don't always post on their own official twitter. Sorry, I assumed it would be like BTS' official twitter where they post by themselves.

Why did I just find out Hyungsik, Kwanghee, Siwan, and Dongjun were all in ZE:A together? 

I always knew Hyungsik was in the group, and I've heard about Siwan in the group as well (I somehow completely forgot tho). This is actually really interesting. Last I checked, they're essentially disbanded right? But the members and the company have stated that they are pursuing solo careers at the moment, however, they can still return as a group sometime in the future. I wonder how different the results would be if they released a group album sometime this year or next year. Those four members in particular have for sure accumulated a lot of fans from their acting. Hyungsik is still in the military tho, and I don't follow the other members

Have I been out of the loop? lmao, is TBZ associated with controversies now? Why? I don't stan, so I only hear about them once in awhile. Were there actual controversies? Or just ones like these with Knetz being dramatic??

I don't think they'd be dumb enough to upload this picture to  the official account if it shows a member breaking the law...

You never really know. Ik it pays to be careful, but I really doubt all idols or individuals in the industry look through every detail before posting a picture. So many controversies and rumours have come from photos posted by artists themselves.

I don't think this one in particular is a big deal tho. I get the no smoking rule, but it just feels like the Knetz being their dramatic selves as always. 

Woodz (Seungyoon of X1 and/or UNIQ) and Ab6ix joins the top 25. 

Woodz @ 18 with 72,882 albums sold

Ab6ix @ 24 with 53,013 albums sold

Youngmin scandal helped to be knowing with gp?

Did it not affect them? I could have sworn they did better (at least in Melon, not so familiar with other streaming sites) in their last few releases...I'm not certain tho. If someone can make a comparison, that'd be great. 

Tbf, they are still outcharting around at least 80% of boy groups, so it's not like it's bad. They're lucky enough to chart while other bg's can't even reach top 100. Off the top of my head, those who debuted or charted at least in the top 10 real time charts this year are BTS, NCT, SVT, NUEST, and TXT (some others could have as well, but I can't quite remember). 

In terms of digitals, Ab6ix is doing well for a 1 year group!! (Rookies last year are crazy lmao - so many amazing ones). 

I'm actually more curious with their physicals. Did Youngmin's departure affect their sales?

Groups without positions (but have amazing vocalists) are at a disadvantage lmao 

Agree with most groups mentioned (the one's I've heard anyways). Time to listen to those I'm not familiar with.

Tomorrow x Together released their dance practice for Fairy of Shampoo!! 

TXT B-sides and choreos never disappoint

I just wanna say,  culture is not equal to religion.  So people bringing up cultural appropriation points...I don't think the issue here is appropriation.

Idk what the Hinduism law is about music and their idols, but if they find it offensive then yeah they must have a reason others don't understand.  And what's the point of bringing up how Christians wouldn't have minded; those are two different religions. 

I think the solution here really is to mail yg and have that part edited if it's offensive. 

I think it's important to understand this lmao. Maybe some are joining in to bandwagon in this hate trend, but some do have genuine concerns and it's not fair to disregard their feelings just because (1) you might not think highly of their beliefs; (2) you can't relate; (3) excuse it as a petty reason for hate; (4) you're not educated on their beliefs. It's not the girl's fault. Likewise, it's not every blink and neither is it every army hating on each other. Some take it too far with all these mindless squabbles and categorizing one whole fandom into mindless haters. It's ridiculously toxic to do that.

It could have been easily solved by emailing YG (will they answer and make changes? tbh, probably not. But it's the thought that counts.) Some are making this an even bigger issue than it really should have been by spreading unnecessary hate. These fanwars are literally not about the artists or music anymore lol. Everyone is just taking shots at each other.

I think it's very important to respect each other's opinion. Let's not disregard their genuine feelings by mindlessly sending hate in return. I understand wanting to defend an artist (since it's rightly not their fault really), but this sending of hate back and forth to just even a small number of very vocal fans is escalating this stupid fanwar. 

Really, fans should all take this to YG. Why fight amongst yourselves when both could have worked together to fix the problem and get YG's attention. 

Sooyoung and Kyungho are such goals honestly. 

Kyungho is an amazing actor too!! Ahhh, I'm really excited for Hospital Playlist S2.

Yes.

I guess a number of performers were guessed right (though, not too sure yet on the song choices). Damn, Kpop fans can really sleuth huh  I'm normally hyped for a few groups only, but this movie concept intrigues me. Looking forward to all performances! 

There was a rumour thread for this topic right? I don't exactly remember the one's listed there, but it seems that most guesses were right? 

Anyways, their concepts seem interesting! I wonder how the groups will perform their songs? Will they dress up? Looking forward to it!

Not entirely sure, but the Japanese version of 'Drama' is included in the tracklist:

EDIT: There will be a DRAMA Japanese version Music Video to be released on August 19 too!

Oh, cool! Excited! I'm not normally one for the translated versions, but I think Drama would be an interesting one. Plus, the original song is interesting too. 

ooh! Are they going to be promoting Drama Jap. ver? Or is it just a coincidence that it's titled as Drama? Anyways, it's a bop! I guess it's Drama that will have an mv? or will it be Everlasting Shine? Or both? (it's not unprecedented after all )

Anyways,  I'm so excited for their first Japanese song!! 

With their amazing vocals, I'm sure the boys will do amazing !!

As a casual fan of SVT and a MoA, this seems unnecessary. SVT are still selling hundreds of thousands more than TXT (That is ofc not discrediting TXT since they're currently the best selling rookie bg, but that's to be expected since SVT are years their senior) plus SVT has a more active fandom tbh, so I'm sure they can keep Left and Right charted longer, perhaps even higher.

Besides only a few BG's actually chart consistently well, and although SVT are unarguably the top 3 bg atm, their digitals still could do some improvement. If anything tho, the success of these two groups shouldn't be compared with one another's, but rather be commended. (Anyways, Ik I might just be pandering to a troll/hater, but I just had to say it lmao)

I genuinely thought you meant higher than the rank/number 17. This is negligible trolling.

This is hilarious. I thought they meant the rank 17 also. Your trolling could have been phrased a bit better OP.

lmao too much is happening. There's too much threads !!   wow, the boys are slaying this tho!! 

btw, how are their UL's doing?

So does anyone one know how well BTS is doing in Japan, concerning touring power, compared to other Kpop groups? (And does anybody know how many other k artists have had this opportunity to have a dome tour or to perform in Tokyo Dome?) I mean I know there are still even bigger venues (Nissan Stadium), I'm just curious.

I'm happy for the boys to finally get this chance!!

You think BTS will obtain another PAK and more unique listeners on Melon this comeback? I think they can.

This also depends on who's releasing songs at the time.

is there a possibility that fake love's view will be broken soon by bp?

Maybe? I'm sure there's a possibility since their MV is still gathering 4m views per day

It's nothing to be disappointed about tho. I hope that if it does happen, fans won't get mad. Records are there to be broken and I'm sure BTS can improve theirs again in their next cb. Plus, in terms of replay value, the girls' mv has more of it since they have a shorter mv (3 mins compared to our 5 mins) and the song isn't interrupted by extra scenes. Still a great achievement for both groups, nonetheless!!

I wonder if the boys will actually respond to this, hope they do 😂

It's so nice to see the boys in run episodes again, but I was so confused lmao. I didn't understand half the patterns and things they were doing, also it was amusing to see the difference in teamwork styles(?) between the two teams. TaeGiJin were more on the calmer (compared to the other team anyways) side of working together while Jimin's team was a little all over the place   but adorable nonetheless.

Also, how is Tae scared in this, but not with the zombies 

Kudos to them for solving it tho!! I don't think I could do that at all

This was literally me the whole ep

Lastly, TAEGI are adorable! That side hug when they found out they were teammates, also them willingly giving up the prize and giving it to Jin because they know he deserves it 

This thread has never been more active lmao. Both fandoms should take this somewhere else. Your convos are derailing this thread smh

----------------

Anyways, Congrats to the new OP!! and thanks to @Sealien for your hard work!!

i don't really like them on Bangtan either but somehow Yoongi and Tae suit them pretty well, imo. 

Honestly, Tae pulls off so many *weird*  things, like mullets for example. I won't be surprised if one day it's revealed that he's not real  like how even??!?!?

Jungkook's new hair gets the recognition 'Dragonfruit Red' haha

 

Click here to view the Tweet

Pretty accurate when u think about it. It has the pinkish reddish hues similar to dragonfruits (OT but I LOVE DRAGONFRUITS)

He really suits the hair color !! Anyone thinks his hair colour will fade to a more pastel colour sooner or later? 

Also, I lost the tweet, but someone mentioned that the members are paired? 

Taejin - blonde, Sope- black, Jimin and Rm- brown, Jk is alone with red lmao, but apparently it's similar to the pairings in some theory? (if u were to ask which theory tho, idk. I rather stay away from the theory side of things unless there's a clear complete story already or else I'd just think too much about it) 

edit: anyways, I'd take the pairing thing with a grain of salt, just seemed interesting enough to mention

The list goes on and on and on! Couldn't be more proud of our girls! <3 <3 <3

 

The future is BlackPink and we're living in their revolution!

Hello! I think it's my first time posting here. Just want to say that I'm so proud of the girls!! They're doing so well! I hope YG takes this as a sign to let them promote more, I really don't trust his management. 

Btw, I don't follow BP as much as B*T*S, so I"m wondering why there's no mention of them possibly debuting in BB200? Because I honestly thought they'd chart high there...Is it because there's only four songs?? I thought they'd have a better chance with BB200 rather than HOT100 since it's an album and all

This plus the comments on the rapline releases in Soundcloud just goes to show that the free music BTS puts out are high quality as well, and they can certainly catch the attention of the GP, just like the official album released ones, if given a chance. The boys have so much good songs that would have sold a lot if it was just released as an official album track.

4 o'clock would have done quite well imo.

I hope more non-fans will look into their free releases!
