I'm curious to know your thoughts on riize? I know some people think they don't feel like an sm group but tbh I think they are being similar to like 90s era kpop groups. Anyway I actually have been enjoying their music and wow watching them dance impossible choreo is so fun.
love them! i really like the musical directions they've gone in and how they do embody the feeling of early boyband much more than most other groups have managed to. unsurprising that they do some challenging choreo, bc how could you not with shotaro right there, and i'm really glad impossible got the full house treatment bc i crave the fancy footwork like choicest of drugs. i'm also a big fan of all the music that they've released so far, and i love how their new ep is so delightfully dated (complimentary). that being said, i DO agree that they don't have the full sm sound, simply because yyj isn't there to help produce them. i've said it before and i will say it again, he was so fundamentally instrumental to the 'sm sound' and even to the sound of kpop itself, that now that he's gone no group is ever going to sound like that again. it's just the truth. i think the current a&r team are doing a great job with riize (we will not speak of any other groups.) but we could have had so, so much more.
#i cannot stress enough how much that man nigh singlehandedly shaped the entire sound of kpop.#for sm ent to fumble his bag like that is in. sane. unbelievable. every single hit they ever had for over 20yrs was from him#and personally i think it is crazy to try and produce a 90s inspired bg in the ORIGINAL 90s bg company WITHOUT the guy who made that sound#🤷🤷🤷#i mean we all know that riize was a hail mary the 3.0 execs threw at the wall bc they fucked nct up so goddamn#but for the literal mess they started out as i'm enjoying where they are currently#also put seunghan back. this is fucking ridiculous#text#answers#kpop questions#riize w#we need to let sohee give a good wail on a song. how can you be an sm group without a wailer
