perf-k The dance to NMixx's O.O is pretty underwhelming...
namidaone replied to Iljin Oppa's topic in Music
Impressive how Lily the main vocalist is one of the best dancers here. Bae is good too. I think the dance would have looked a lot better if the brown sweater girl (idk if she's jiwoo or kyujin) didn't mess up the energy + synchronization, but maybe it's health issues or just rookie nerves bc jiwoo/kyujin's predebut perf were good. -
Opinion about the korean supporting the full korean kpop groups
namidaone replied to Drama Drama Drama's topic in Random
Well at least no one made any further clapbacks abt Luhan so there's progress. If that's all what he could do then what a waste of all those hours and resources spent training on singing, and rapping to end up succeeding only as a male model in his solo career. And Kris can somewhat sing. Plus it takes talent to make ridiculous lyrics like "big bowl thick noodles" sound so cool that even senior C-artists cover his songs Call me when Sehun's "shwaty imma party till the sundown" or his solo songs has the same impact. Tao and Kris got acting roles and fashion endorsements too. They were also able to get a solo singer/rapper career out of their mediocre talents and a position as mentors / judges in chinese survival shows. (Maybe not Kris anymore but that's due to his character as a rapist, scammer, and possibly even a pedo -- not due to his talent) That Sehun couldn't even get in as a contestant or a collab guest performer in a K-survival show while junior SM artists already have that in their belt is just proof of how low Sehun's talent is perceived to be by the Kr gp, the Kpop industry and even by SM. -
mv-k Billlie | 'GingaMingaYo (the strange world)'
namidaone replied to kimsguardian's topic in Music
I was hoping their next releases are bops like Ring x Ring but they went with the Flipping a Coin route Maybe i'll change my mind after a few more listens and watching their comeback stage (which might be rescheduled bc Covid ) edit: but this is not the noise music revolution that I was waiting for. -

Luhan sweetie im so sorry that people lump you on the same low talent level as Kris-Tao I kinda see Thatoneuser's point tho.. Tao and Kris might not be the definition/epitome of talent overall in EXO but they are definitely 2x more talented when compared with the likes of Sehun. -

"For that reason I support BTS, BIGBANG, STAYC, APink, INFINITE, B2ST" And yet 3/6 of those groups they claim they're supporting are currently either disbanded, in hiatus, or scaling down group promotions due to member withdrawal/ solo promotions. Shows that knets like these are all talk, no action. edit: omg 4/6 hard lmfao -
He did mention that XG is the project that he's been working on for 5 years now. Yeah that could be it, But then, other non-YG artists have posted vids/pics of inside the YG Building before and didn't end up in the YG staff/artist roster (ex: SMTM contestants who aren't Mino, Bobby , B.I. or ONE) There's also a pic of Simon at a studio that doesn't seem to be a YG studio [x] and in the search results, the previous description in his official twt @SimonJakops was "Sakai Simon Junho(AMG) Executive Producer "XGALX" Artist/Producer/Writer. " There's also his 2019 ig post about XG where he referenced only Avex Group and not YG [x] Also there's this info from his 2021 Channel-Korea profile [x]

Hyde == abt the main topic, things like this is why i can't take lore-based groups seriously esp when the ones overseeing one group's musical/visual content also work for other groups, whether it's fr the same sub/label or a different label

NIMXX Enpyhen aepsa Montsa X the fact that JYPE is the only name spelled correctly in the OP title
-
Hmm. They're using the YGX practice room and their perf director is a YGX dancer but the producer is DMTN Simon -- who is not fr YGE or their subsidiaries, cmiiw. Even the kpopwise article doesn't say who the KR partner is -- so either it's a typo or it's rly not YG. The article only said that Avex is the JP partner. Who knows their situation might be like UNIQ's -- who also had YG resources during the training process and ex-YG trainees as some of their members but debuted under Yuehua. Also, it seems the twt acc in the OP is not the official xgalx twt acc but a fanacc. But whether they're fr YG or not, their masked dance perf looks really good and matches Hikaru's dancestyle. I think Hikaru will be a good fit for the grp w/o her dragging them down or them outshining her. But if xgalx is under YG, Kep1ans might have to worry abt how Kep1er is going to have a reunion or worse, if Kep1er is even gonna have a reunion.

YG sabotage of non-YG groups' debut/comeback using their artist/trainee strikes again Kwon Hyunbin vs JBJ comeback YG trainees vs Mixnine winning group debut Somi vs I.O.I reunion and now Na Eun vs Apink comeback at least this time around it's only partial sabotage, prolly to give them plausible deniability

[KN] Jennie’s Instagram shocking state right now
namidaone replied to pinkpanda_spirit's topic in Netizen Nation
imo, it's not just the thought about dating Jennie that has those toxic Armies/V stans/non-trolls pressed. It's the thought that Jennie --- and by extension Blackpink --- could be deemed worth following by BTS. When you and your moots have bought into the narrative that Blackpink -- especially Jennie -- shouldn't be stanned, because they are considered to be lazy, culture-appropriating, and problematic c-tier celebs who are more focused on modelling than on their music and whose popularity is a mirage built on YG mediaplay and pesky sns features, then for a few minutes you were suddenly confronted with the possibility that your faves might not buy into that narrative, you'd go cray too. If V had followed IU instead, idt the outcome would be as horrible as what happened with Jennie. -
but IN2IT is sns-speak, not carplate bg INTO + IT = IN2IT but i guess their formula will still scare math-haters away anyway

This is noise music with the emphasis on music It's weird but it's my type of weird and i want more of this If Dreamcatcher and Oh My Girl had a kid tgt, then Billie is that kid.

To You - Classic Seventeen i'm so glad it's in this album. Rating: 9.7 Rock With You - I talked more abt RWY in the MV thread. anw I remember Woozi said that one time when they were arguing over which song should be the title track (Hit iirc), and Dino told him that the other songs were great too but Hit is HISTORY. I get the same feeling about Rock With You. Rating:9.4 Crush - minimalistic and a bit disjointed for my taste but I loved DK's vocal runs. I think I'd have liked it better if this was reworked to be a HHU/PU song instead. Rating: 8.5 Pang - kinda minimalistic too but i think it was meant to be that way to highlight the beats and rhythm of the song and the flow of Dino's rap. So the result turned out to be catchy and fun, and rightfully deserved to be a HHU song. Rating: 9.5 Imperfect Love - Classic Vocal Unit Rating: 9.4 I Can't Run Away - wow HHU giving VU a run for their money. Everything about this song is great that I think it would have been a good OT13 song too. edit: rating 9.4 2Minus1 - i loved Joshua's soft vocal parts here and Vernon's "keep your 2 cents sympathy subtraction" line and i can see why they went for a US sitcom-ish bgm in a song about exes. But when they sing the rock parts of the song loud and clear in English the lyrical simplicity in the rest of their lines start to turn bland imo. Looking back i think Rocket Eng ver kinda had the same problem but in 2Minus1 it was even more noticeable. I think they should have made the lyrics either more complex or more simple but catchier or keep the lyrics as they are but experiment with the vocal delivery to balance it out ( like what Joshua did at the start of the song). Rating: 5.2

wow joshua's deep voice in the intro. i also liked how there are a lot more English phrases in the lyrics so I can understand the song better even w/o turning the subtitles on. my nitpick would be that i wished there was a smoother transition btw the verse and the prechorus -- it was too choppy there and in other parts of the song that it threw me off a bit at first listen. but i got over that after listening to it a couple more times. overall, RWY is great and deserved to be a TT.

Not a Buddy, but I'm anticipating both Yuju and Viviz bc im curious how members fr a popular Kpop group fare in resuming their music career after disbandment. If I have to choose the most anticipated it would be Yuju because she's signed up w/ Konnect. Not just because KD is the CEO and one of my faves in Produce. But because Konnect's management of his solo activites was good. so im praying the that the other artists under his company are managed just as competently as he manages himself -- esp my 2NE1 fave CL.

Am i the only one who didn't have a problem w/ sweetberry's post? They don't question knetz lack of awareness abt E'last. They're pointing out how unhelpful (not to mention rude) the "but who are they?" "they need to do at least 360 shows thenㅋㅋ " comments in an article abt them promoting for 10 weeks. If they really wanted to know who E'last were, they could always look them up on Naver.

I hope jun and minghao will stick to svt until the end too but the "don't end up like all other chinese idols in kpop" just rubs the wrong way. Because i've stanned chinese idols in kpop too and idt all of them did it bc they were disloyal. Especially the ones who left bc of legitimate contract issues with their company.

Depends. Have you written a 3k word essay in a day before? Does your prof grade essays just like any other prof (i.e you can pass even if you type bs in your essay -- just make it long and plagiarism-free ) ? * Are you ok with getting a barely passing grade for those essays? If you've answered 'No" to any of these questions, then you'll have to accept that three 3k essays in three days is not enough.
