  1. I gave up a long time ago on hoping much success from their Japan debut. I am just happy with their new songs, especially Atai-tai (it's so good wtf)

     

    I mean it sucks ass but it's one of those things like... Well, what are you gonna do :derp:

     

    Fortunately RV is more than established in Korea so we can expect more interesting and exciting results for their Korean comeback. Y'all need to put your competitive success-loving sides away for this debut and bring them back out in August~

     

    Just enjoy the music for now

  2. I don't think people should necessarily follow the "leaked" schedule, it has been wrong about a few things and honestly SM's schedule will always be changing, they don't have anything set in stone as far as comebacks go.

     

    I'm pretty sure Red Velvet will come back before Exo and I think there's a good chance they will come in July.

     

    Honestly we can't pretend to know surely about the timing of any comeback when most Reveluvs had no idea whatsoever that Bad Boy was gonna happen until teasers dropped.

  3. Remember their RF performance in Kcon and then they had a card kind of theme, I believe it was a hint to this incoming comeback. And if it's seriously something with cards I think it makes sense that their hair color is darker

    A card theme? Imagine if part of the packaging was a set of cards with RV members on it :la: not like a whole set but maybe just a couple?

     

    I'm just fantasizing rip there's no way, we're just gonna get the same kind of package as TRS at best lbr

     

    Anyways a card concept sounds cool as long as it's not too corny. Also I don't really like a magician type thing so I hope it wouldn't be in that arena

  4. the review for the app looks horrible omg lol

    The app is a mess. I have the kihno album for the perfect red velvet and the idea is very cool but the app doesn't work well. Mainly I hate that you are supposed to only have to download the songs once but every time you want to listen you have to redownload the kihno and it takes like 10 minutes. So the app is shitty

     

    But there is something really cool about the kihno app that I LOVE, and that's that you can turn the vocals off during a song so when you buy the songs on kihno version you're also buying the instrumentals even for the bsides. I've personally always liked listening to instrumentals so this was really cool for me. Kihno albums also come with pictures from like the photobook and MVs.

  5. Have you guys heard Taeng's new album? The songs 'Circus' and One Day' are perfect examples of slow songs that are really well made and not boring or forgettable. My one complaint with RV's discography is SM always gives them boring, forgettable and uninspired ballads in all their albums (except OOTN which is one of their best tracks to date). IMO the ballads are always the worst tracks on the album. I'd rather a track be head-scratching and experimental and well made than forgettable. It's like their ballads are always filler. Not saying that they're bad but they could be so much better, as showcased by Taeng's discography. And it's not like RV can't pull of vocal-focused songs, they have the talent to do so.

     

    So long story short, SM needs to do something about RV's ballads. My hope for the next album is that if it has to include a ballad, the ballad be a darn good one. There's no need to add filler that's a snoozefest and bogs down an otherwise perfect album (looking at you PV). If the ballad isn't any good, then they just shouldn't include it in the first place. I hope the next album is a bit better in that regard

     

    Whew, that's a bit of a long rant but it's something that's been bugging me for a while rlytearpls.png

    They barely have any true ballads

     

    Rose Scent Breeze is a good song, I always liked it a lot. I am someone who appreciates ballads and I don't like Moonlight Melody but that's the only song of theirs that is legitimately a ballad that I dislike. Are you thinking of Hear The Sea as a ballad? I like that song too but I wouldn't even call it a ballad tbh

  6. You mean sales wise? Because I don’t see this one doing any better than their mid-level Kr albums, especially wit the promos they’ve gotten :unsure:

    Yeah, I mean... I don't want their performance to be pathetic is all. But otherwise I don't care that much, and I know antis are gonna have lots of fun bashing RV for this but SM completely fucked it up and I am once more really wishing RV was under a label that could give them the same high quality music and concepts without sabotaging them or being fucking sexist (sorry I'm in kind of an annoyed mood rn wkjdkwjdj)

    so have anyone listened to the songs yet? I can't load them on spotify lol

    Yeah I can't get them on Spotify either. Kinda seems like they weren't actually released? :derp:

  7. Congrats to Perfect Velvet for passing 100k on Gaon! I remember when Gaon revealed the yearly numbers for 2017 so many antis came for RV saying "I guess red velvet ISN'T in the 100k girl group club :/...."

     

    But we all knew it would reach 100k in 2018, it was only a matter of time~

     

    It's a bad time to be an RV anti huh

  8. Boa is her own women and owns a high priority job in SM with stocks. If she wanted a lightstick, she would make out her own since she has a lot of power in SM.

     

     

    This comes down as in SM has different expectations from different fans of the groups. NCT is a brand, not a group to SM. The lightstick is another product to SM that sells well. SM is going into the lightstick situation as who can sell the most of the product their selling. It's not that SM is thinking that the red velvet lightstick won't sell well, it's that how will it benfit the girls and group to mass product it other than putting the money else where.

    But this simply isn't true, its not like all the stuff we are complaining about wouldnt help RV. I mentioned Twice before because they are a girl group that is treated by JYP the same way NCT is treated by SM and arent Twice absolutely thriving? Is it not clear that a shit ton of content is a good thing for every group regardless of gender? To say that SM is doing everything in their power to expand RV is silly.

    The lightsticks themselves are not the actual point here and not the sole reason why fans are upset. Whether or not they're ugly or whatever is irrelevant. The lightsticks are simply representative of the habitual way SM does the absolute minimum for Red Velvet and their female acts in general while they support and push their male idols regardless of seniority. It's not to say SM does a great job with their male idols either, but the guys at least get something while the girls are ignored. It's going on four years of being on the back burner. Fans speaking up about it is not being quick to complain, it's a culmination of years of frustration.

     

    By around the two-year mark Red Velvet did not have a lightstick, a fan club name, a reality show, a fanmeet, or a dance rehearsal video (other than the short dance break for Happiness that Shim Jae-won uploaded on his own channel because fans asked him to). By around the two-year mark NCT did have a lighstick, a fan club name, a reality show (seven seasons), a fanmeet, and dance rehearsal videos for pretty much every piece of choreography they perform. Is it not obvious why fans are upset? There should be no personal attacks on the NCT members themselves, but fans are perfectly justified in pointing out the differences in treatment. The lightsticks are emblematic of a larger ongoing problem.

    ^^^THIS.

     

    It isn't about the lightstick, it's about how fans of boy groups in SM get so much content and so much stuff to be excited about. I mean, what's a big difference between RV and NCT? Between RV and Twice? NCT and Twice get several reality TV shows, tons of dance practices, albums that have on average much more generous packagings, constant connections with fans. And I know we don't like to talk about this stuff but I genuinely believe if RV fans were given as much content as the groups mentions above there would be more of us.

     

    Not to sound aggressive but some people in this thread are just biased because they like SM boy groups and don't want to admit that SM is really unfair. Like stop it, don't pretend SM's contents for Red Velvet and Reveluvs is even close to being as good as those for NCT. Just because SM is getting better lately for RV doesn't mean they're giving them fair treatment. Could it be worse? Yes (see YG akdjekjeje.) But like... RV is a popular group and people are interested in them, they basically have more interest from the general public than any other group in SM right now... So we should all agree it's not fair.

     

    And no one should hate on NCT for this of course but I do think we have every right to be mad at SM

  10. Full RV cut

     

     

     

     

    Saying that is a bit disingenuous, since their last full album release was in 2015, right after RV's DD...

     

     

    Sorry for replying late, I didn't see this. But I should've said 2013. Weren't Pink Tape, Red Light and 4 Walls back to back with no mini in between? And Pink Tape was their second full album much like how Perfect Velvet is RV's... So I think that counts for something

     

     

  11. Since when did SM have 2 full albums back to back ? Other than EXO no other SM act gets to do it, it's just not realistic so idk why you guys were expecting a full album.

     

    Yes August may be very far but it's not that bad. The girls are debuting in Japan and they're gonna have individual activities. Idk i feel like you guys are being worried for nothing.

     

    Also one of my biggest wishes is for Reveluvs to not hate on the new gg. Unfortunately i'm already seeing some being negative towards them...it's like they forgot what RV went through at debut....

    Most SM senior acts do full albums only at one point. F(x) only did full albums from 2014 onward, SHINee, Exo. Pretty sure Suju generally does only full albums too. If RV was coming back in June I'd expect a mini but if they're gonna wait till August or longer it makes sense to do a full, especially when their only other comeback was a repack in January which had poor promotions. It would make more sense if RV were trying real hard in Japan but the promotions rn aren't really there so to speak.

     

    Overall if RV's only Korean comeback this year is a mini in August it's disappointing

  12. There goes more of my cash....also saving up for the inevitable 'Red Room' Japan concert DVD/BD. ahmagahplz.png

     

    A little more detail on the photobook. smile.png

     

    Same! I will totally buy the concert dvd when it comes out... and what's this about a limited edition?

     

    Edit: ah... I get it. I hope there will be some eBay sellers? Or on Amazon? I don't like mess with sites like yesasia or kpoptown due to pricing and since i live in the US the websites I named are very convenient.
