#I'm not gettin my hopes up for bg

[onwriting-hrarby]

ahh I haven’t talked kpop in so long bc I don’t like engaging with the fandoms 😭 sorry if I’m taking up your time!

but I really do agree with u about itzy! they lack a musicality to them that becomes more prevalent with each release. personally I would go as far to say they’re one of the most competent groups when it comes to live stages/performances in general but the music just doesn’t match up, be it the fault of the company or the girls themselves. i really do hope their next cb is amazing though! i heard it was their favorite so far and I trust them but jyp groups tend to be overworked so I hope it isn’t too much :,)

i actually really like aespa and the kwangna mess 😭 while all their releases have sorta melded into one entity in my mind, I strangely don’t mind it? I do expect something a little different in the next cb though bc the black mamba thing is over. I’d love if they played into sifi fairy sorta stuff haha!

new jeans 😭 they’re a little messy for no fault of their own but I’m really excited about them. I hope they continue on this path. omg tragic about Ive though! I just saw their new teaser like 10 min ago and I’m hyped idjwoskwk.

blackpink is so tragic for me too 😭 I loved them all the way up until as if it’s your last, they really changed the kpop game no matter what anyone else says, they were truly the trend setters up until then but I guess things happen. they’ve also gone stagnant with their music and is it tragic to say that I think they girls aren’t truly all in it either <\3 I know they are very appreciative and caring to their fans but I also think they’re comfortable with how things are now. Like this new doesn’t even feel like a new era 😔 regardless I’ll support lol!

ugh and just to bring us to red velvet bc I adore them so. i love their “fairytale” feel all the while bringing so many different things to the table. they’ve really stuck to their brand and if there’s one thing I can appreciate about sm is that they do maintain these really fun concepts.

You're not taking up my time! I'd love to talk more about kpop but I was once on kpop twitter and I had enough so I just share with my close ones now, hehe!

I love Itzy and I think they are all talented (although I'm not a fan of Jyp's vocal training), so I hope their music keeps on bringing something new to the table. I really liked "MAFIA", actually! I felt like the concept suited them VERY much, and not a lot of gg could pull a concept like that. I completely agree with Aespa's! Actually, I dislike a little the Kwangya thing (I don't really understand it and I don't watch MVs much) but I do like their music, and the Savage EP I had it on repeat, truly! And the last pre-release single (Life's Too Short), damn that was iNCREDIBLE so I wish they can move their style a little bit around without losing their concept...

100% agree with Blackpink. I don't think they'll renew so that's why I am going to this world tour :') I need to see them before they disband, which I think would be a smart move for all of them because I don't feel like YG cares a lot about them and I think Jennie and Rosé would like to make more original music, Lisa would have so much more opportunities, and don't get me started on the treatment towards Jisoo.

About RV, completely. I am forever grateful to SM to not destroy their concept or try to make them sound wacky or nothing like RV. I feel like SM has done an incredible job with RV's music (you know? I am all for the underrated tts! Like RBB and Zimzalabim and Dumb Dumb Dumb might be my most favourite --dumbdumb is not underrated but the other ones--) but I am a little angry at their management, how they could have KILLED it in numbers and fame and they haven't because SM doesn't know how to push them. They still don't have a partnership with an American agency even though the ceo of Capitol Records (i Think) told the press she wanted to work with Red Velvet. While the bg of SM and Aespa (deserved for the girls) are getting so much more push.
