anyone else totally lost?  Like this one makes sense with Umji's spoiler, but the words are all over the place, and why the crosshairs????

and it's so different from the other two concepts...

they look super cute tho

i lovelovelove this set of teasers but im not sure why the crosshairs and wordd are supposed to be either ,, guess we'll have to wait for the media article tmr

the most confusing part is that umji relied a fan on weverse saying mago doesnt fit into these concepts but is something we have to wait to see in the mv lmao

I actually think that the crosshair (or target locked since there's square thingy) is actually to tell us that about the girls personality through and through. I mean if you see them in all shows and whatnot, they're the kind of having fun together kind of girls. This way, < My Girls > is totally relatable to the target locked symbol as this is who they truly are deep at the bottom of their heart.

So generally speaking, I think < My Girls > and < My Room > are pretty much showcasing their actual personas and hobbies, and < My Way > is likely telling what they path they lived on now. Why such contrast? The whole 回 series telling us those confusing stories and whatnot. So I think it's definitely the continuation of the confusing 2 回 albums, but this one touch more about their own personas and stance, not actually about their feelings and stories?

Also, I think it make sense for that last track of this album 앞면의 뒷면의 뒷면 (media trans says Lively) (direct translate shows more like the front of the back of the back) seems like putting the whole series cycle into one song. Or actually, maybe it's me who just think about this too much daksjfhs

I mean, I'd get not being the same, which they normally aren't (like Apple), but not at all???

Maybe we're actually finally getting a magical girl concept lol

Hkjhfjashfdjskaf that actually still possible tbh I'm thinking it's still the girl crush hot babe kinda concept since the literal MAGO meaning and < My Way > is closely related concept wise, but MAGO is also mahou, magician, and those witches... Yeah we get the magical girl concept but not the bright colorful ones ig??

But tbvh, I'm imagining them being Sailor Moon asdjkfhsadkjf

oooh I get it.  So it is all about self-confidence.  That's what I thought this cb would be about.  LOL at Eunha picking "simple" though.  That one sort of threw me off.  Also props to Sowon for just calling herself perfect LMAO.

The queen definitely know how to live up her own self lmao

The way they broke down tears so bad compared to when they're on live stage concert.... It must be harder to perform without presence of fans to cheer them live

too beautiful... i'm breaking into tears myself... but it was breathtaking, spectacular, and as expected, TWISTED

The views of both Knowing Bros clips are increasing amazingly fast on both Youtube and Naver tv  They really know how to build the hype this time

Not to mentioned now that Knowing Bros been an independence YT channel on YouTube, their views on a huge climb (skyrocketing it seems), and adding this special GG features on top of our awaited MAGO snips, oh yes! These made me kind of anticipate how BH/Soumu going to keep the hype at least till Nov 4th!

Anyway we can't do much on music platform, as far as I know our fanbases only able to help in international fans on genie platform. I thought Spotify will really going to open in SK during Sep but it didn't happen. So I believe a few more months ; there will be a lot changes in SK music chart. All we can do is try our best & be positive.

Opening Spotify into SK music chart gonna change the whole dynamics of their music charting imo- I don't think they gonna take much of percentage from Spotify but well, we do what we can, and hopefully the girls will receive the loves and supports they deserved

has anyone else been listening to the kb teaser on repeat lmao

I've been doing this for a while lmao... It sounds so goooooood I want them to release already omg  

[eunheart]

Just now, Memoria~ said:

Yes, I know that as International fans want it to enter SK as soon as possible; I saw alot of fanbase spreading about Spotify entering in SK since Aug. They even hunted for Spotify SK social media account which already found but not yet verified by the respective social media platform. About whether music show taking how many percentage of the Spotify chart, I really can't comment since as far as I know there are insider survery & some insiders comment about Spotify entering music chart. But all of their comments are very vague as of now

It's still up to the show how they gonna segregate points if they're adding Spotify into their counts. My verdict is even if they did they don't want to put much percentage cause it might cause changing of rank dynamics (changing Korean taste in music in a way) which they most likely don't want to much change in that sense

I was listening to Sunrise today and I feel like it’s creeped up to one of my top Gfriend songs. It’s been almost 2 years since it released but i fee like it’s aged well. 

It indeed aged well. But in contrary to being creeped up, it lingered around my top spots along with 3458769 others lmao I'm so suck at rating their songs ranking

Side note, I've been listening to GCON playlist again and again it feels surreal to witness the concert T^T

The promotion is it good , i not sure though. I believe SSGF only fans played but some fans already stop playing

Stop playing entirely or stop playing the preview?

[eunheart]

3 minutes ago, Memoria~ said:

I see, I know a lot of buddies stop playing because of personal commitment or they have other games they are more interested in playing. I played SSGF mostly since most of my game app I don't play for a yr but maybe SSGF is different since this is the only rhythmic game I played my entire life. I played before their label mate one but I gave up after the first play. Plus I played since in future it may be gone because BH is launching their own ver

Oh in that sense, yeah. Also it's a bit harder to obtain LE cards (as in more expensive diamonds/cash wise) in SSGF as compared to the other series. In this sense, some gave up cause they can't even complete their LE themes. But yes, rhythmic game isn't a popular genre. Maybe if it's combination of rhythmic + simulation (idol manager), buddies gonna love that more? But yeah, whatever BH gonna launch in the future, I hope it's more fun and actually not only for ***.

[eunheart]

1 minute ago, Memoria~ said:

Yes, I always cannot get the full set of limited theme. Plus I heard those regular superstar game player said SSGF is the most expensive out of the other not ocunting the y*. the BH one ,I think is confirmed include their labelmates just that I believe the first one will be the global bg since we know their group will attract more fans to download

It is indeed. I used an example of the limited profile photos, the set cost 29.99 on another SS games but 79.99 for SSGF. The limited theme packages? Well, I'll rather settle down as normal dedicated gamer who do the dailies, not wasting money and gems for those expensive in-game purchases.

WOW we finally getting a COMEBACK SHOW BUT NOT VIA MSNAKE IS VIA SBSMTV

 

WELL THIS IS AWESOME??? OMG

I don't what to say..... Cause we're getting it not on msnake.....

[eunheart]

4 minutes ago, Memoria~ said:

Hmm is first time SBSMTV do such a thing. So I really can't comment anything yet

It feels like they want to set trend to everything for some reason lmao-- but well we're getting comeback performance so I'm not complaining  

[eunheart]

This is what we're getting in Weverse announcement

Good thing is that we're able to watch them live globally instead of closed showcase-- idk if msnek streamed theirs cause I haven't watch any comeback showcase from them for long now. But yes, look at those global streaming services; SBS MTV, THE K-POP, BH Labels, V LIVE, not to mention they even got live on tele broadcast MTVASIA.. imo that's a HUGE DEAL for a comeback!

 

[eunheart]

15 minutes ago, spopo said:

The different bit is at the beginning.  In SSGF Yuju sings something something fairytale before the hana tick tock tick tock, and in KB it sounds like the line is something in Korean.  It's quiet though, and they're talking over it so it's hard to tell exactly what it is.

I think I heard the exact same bit for both though.. But yeah MC SD's voice too loud to hear properly in KB's preview tsk tsk

[eunheart]

Edited November 3, 2020 by eunheart

[eunheart]

They really praised highly of this comeback. Damn, I'm so excited

 

3 minutes ago, Memoria~ said:

OHH Sorry was busy with work, so i just make a fast glance. MTV ASIA is good exposure

Dw, I'm ditching my work that's why I've been constantly replying lmao.. But yes, MTVASIA means public exposure gonna be even better! It's not only just exposed to kpop fans but to music enthusiasts--

[eunheart]

okay but damn sowon in that thumbnail though ,, i feel attacked

in any case - im really looking forward to these new bsides! and WOW we actually got another snippet of mago and it gives adds a different angle to what we heard in kb

Not just the thumbnail, the whole clips are distracting when they appealed too much visual tsk tsk

I really love how this album is vibing positively. And yes, another snippet of MAGO. We love this!

smol line's blindfold dancing and mago preview are the two most watched clips from the recent KB ep on youtube at 1 million and 600k+ respectively! they're also the two most watched clips on KB's NaverTV acc from this ep at 79k and 191K (the mago preview is more popular than the blindfold dancing on NaverTV hahahhahaa)

its funny how we were all talking abt SouMu's decision to send Eunha and Umji on a show like KB, especially alongside variety idols like Mijoo/Yuqi and IT girls Doyeon/Naeun. In the end smol line did what they do best - just laugh and enjoy the games - and i guess that was all they needed to do to show their variety presence! 

Indeed. We know how the like of Mijoo, Weme doddaeng, WJSN Soobin Dayoung and Yuqi, all are having strong variety appeals. Yet the girls actually made quite a great impact with their blindfold dance and MAGO preview. I would say SouMu's decision is spot on and we didn't see this coming lmao

i really like how Shindong expressed his thoughts

"they got more deep in TFTMN, but it has a feeling of brightness coming back"

ever since tftmn their musical range has obviously been expanding and their concept has very natural matured. but i think this is the first time they've tried a 'mature' concept as bright and fun as this? which def makes me excited! 

the last time they tried a bright/fun concept we got the bubblegum synth-pop that was SS. and all their more mature releases have either leaned into their sentimental side or experimented with a more "girl crush"/"sexy" image. so this disco concept sounds and feels like such a good change of pace for them!! 

Tbh, I'm almost getting teary to see them getting high praise for this reactions. The fact that MAGO gonna appeal a wider range of demography excite me even more. Not to mention how Heechul said he got goosebumps over the move after they lined up, this made me want to anticipate their choreography more!

Also, this, 'mature' concept as bright and fun. As cliche as it may sounds, I need this happy vibes more than anything while we're on the downside of the pandemic climate. If it hits the spot, it's probably gonna be my top song among all of their bops!

1. OMG MAGO I REALLY LOVE THE BRIDGE? PRECHORUS?? Also seems like we're getting a great string instrumental melodies as well. I'm a sucker for actual band instruments to be in dance pop songs omg
2. Omg Love Spell sldfkjsdlkf.... omg this yeyeyeye reaaaaaally reminded me of LXXNA dsakjfhsdk but then the later part isn't much it, but it sounds familiar fun song that I can't remember where I heard it-
3. Three of cups is very light and easy listening which I think I'll definitely liking it!
4. GWRM!!! It gives me SNSD fun vibe songs!!! I'm soooo looking forward for this!
5. Secret Diary actually reminded me of some b-sides from Apink that I like. I think I gonna like this a lot as well.
6. Better Me is the most unexpected kind of song that they produced for me. Not to mention, Sowon and Umji stage performance really send me jaw-dropped..
7. Night Drive is an expected R&B song coming from our vocal line. It's definitely going to be a good song for night drive, as title suggested.
8. (the last track) - I have a feel that this track is going to be a great ending song for their concert, letting them end it at a high note, like, we really succeed today! 

I really can't wait for them to release omg
