This new single by GOT the Beat gets better and better with every listen. The talent in this group of groups is just crazy.

To me, it’s like straight-up ’90s R&B feels, especially during that chorus! Just... the very second it hits! It's like '90s R&B like parts of Destiny’s Child, TLC, and SWV flavor, but the kind you would hear in the B-sides that never got to the radio because it sounded so different from the rest. I preordered the EP right as I got done watching this the first time, haha. Oh, and if you missed their first track, definitely check that out below for some good stuff on an even weirder beat:

SuperM could do runaway but traveling wilburys couldn't do jopping

5 Male K-Pop Idols NCT's Mark Would Choose To Create A K-Pop Supergroup

For new K-Drama fans, it is often hard to make a great watchlist from scratch. You most probably ask your friend’s opinions or read online reviews to make your selection, but that is probably not enough to decide on your next drama. K-Dramas have plenty of genres. This time, we listed romance dramas set in school and university. We made a selection of the best teen romance and campus romance. If…

girl frr not an atiny but everytime I hear one of ateez songs they're always ✨✨ yeah but for bp idk about pv I didn't like the album in general I think they're talented but yg really ain't utilizing that, I really liked tally tho.. Somi is underrated AFFF, not a fan of skz but will defend them anyday ngl cause Domino is amazing like 💅💅💅

oh yeah the girls r Very capable but their company always gives them the bare minimum bcs they care abt profits over effort so much they're just constantly choosing the lazy way to make money</3 bp's contracts r ending very soon n i hope they don't renew bcs they need a better company that cares abt their artistry and recognises their musicality n talent and utilises it better

♡࿐🦢 BREAKING :: MYDOL ENTERTAINMENT BUYS SUGAR N' SPICE'S CONTRACT

By ANGELWINGZZ || February 24th, 2024

Earlier this morning, Angelico Entertainment and MyDol Entertainment officially announced that the latter company had bought out the contract for one of Kpop's leading girl groups, Sugar N' Spice.

The five-member girl group has been managed by Angelico since their debut in 2019, having consistent and chart-topping comebacks over their 5 years together. When MyDol's current CEO, Son Jinhwa, stepped down from being the CEO of Angelico back in 2023, SNS never stopped their busy schedule and quickly had a comeback with their 4th full album in October of the same year.

Quickly after SNS wrapped up their promotion cycle, they went silent as a group, only making whole group appearances at the end-of-year award shows and similar events. All the members participated in their own solo activities, most notably with Mika making her debut in the idol supergroup Starzie, but otherwise, Angelico was dead silent on anything group-related.

Many fans were hoping this meant the girls would be getting a well-deserved rest, but their hopes were quickly shut down when MyDol released this official statement this morning.

"Hello, this is MyDol Entertainment. After a very lengthy period of contractual disputes between us and Angelico Entertainment, we are glad to inform you all that from this day forward, Sugar N' Spice will be a part of the MyDol family. All five members have signed artist contracts with us and will begin work as soon as they settle into their new routine. We are very excited to begin this journey with these talented ladies and hope their beloved Sweetarts can accept this new change and continue to cheer the Sweets on in the future. - MyDol Entertainment"

The girls were seen leaving MyDol this morning after the announcement was made, supposedly having just finished signing their contracts and then heading to officially begin their moving process. The most popular member, Mika, was absent from the public display, rumored to have taken a back exit to leave the building before she expressed her annoyance with her current situation on her Instagram story.

Despite public backlash, Mika has not deleted any of her stories, and MyDol has not released any statements regarding the situation.

[ +7834, -540 ] The way Noah appears whenever literally ANYTHING happens in her life... truly they are soulmates

[ +5028, -1923 ] am i the only one really excited to have the girls back under jinhwa?? their latest concept felt off without him

[ +2338, -302 ] I'm shocked all the girls agreed to sign with them, especially considering it seems that was the last thing mika wanted to happen

[ +845, -368 ] i need a behind the scenes documentary of how this all went down cause no way threats and punches weren't thrown

[ +629, -473 ] praying this means sns will be promoted again like they should

[ +478, -129 ] this was so childish of her wow management needs to take away her media access geez

[ +296, -87 ] these girls need therapy asap . clearly.

Monthly Music 08/24 Hehehe

Albums/Multi Song Section:

Taemin released a mini album. Honestly, listen to all of it, even the more ballad-y fare but honestly... Sexy In the Air is a track EVERYONE should give a shot. It's what it says on the tin--sexy. Highlights: Horizon, if you like Kavinsky but want a kpop, energy-infused twist, try this out! (ITS A REACH BUT!!). Crush has some MJ-esque delivery that is very enthralling. Deju Vu is for the people who want to feel songs vibrate in their bones and in their [redacted]

Tinashe released her follow-up to the (superior) BB/Angel! My faves are No Simulation, Thirsty, When I Get You Alone, + No Broke Boys. Chill, alt R&B. Ethereal, sensual. Tinashe and Taemin should collab or at least do choreo to each other's songs tbh. NBB is a modern reimagining of No Scrubs

Foster the People is baack. BIASED REVIEW because I'm a longterm fan. See You in the Afterlife (oddly cunty??), Feed Me (cuntier except some of the instrumental could've been produced on Gene Belcher's random sound keyboard), Paradise State of Mind (Tame Impala knock off, mayhaps), & Glitchzig (discordant, extraterrestrial).

Fromis_9, a kpop group, has had a mini release. Here's a mini review: Supersonic & Beat the Heat have a throwback appeal. Simple, joyful pop with a non-obtrusive vocal power behind it. Talent wins <3

JPEGMAFIA released a new album and it's... beyond explanation? Alt hip hop with an amazing infusion of rock, gospel, dance elements. Dark, funny, slick as hell. Highlights: i scream this in the mirror before i interact with anyone, sin miedo (my fave, I think), don't rely on other men, vulgar display of power, Exmilitary (great use of samples), JPEGULTRA! (denzel!!!!!!!!! HORNS!!!!!!!!1), either on or off the drugs (one of my faves, absolutely), & loop it and leave it. If you're like "that's a lot of songs," okay well the entire album is good. 9.9/10 album

Recent Releases:

"Feel The Way" Peggy Gou. Just a solid dance track.

Ibibio Sound Machine's Black Notes is groovy and vocally ascendant.

"Leave" Low Hanging Fruits is Krock that feels straight out like... mid 2000s alt-pop rock. Just lively and lovely.

My blog title was taken from a Chase & Status song, so of course I need to shout out their collab with Stormzy, "Backbone." Just goes hard, is grimy as hell, and goes WUB WUB.

Want something that goes harder? Petit Brabancon, Japanese metal supergroup, is back and "Gankou" is... growling and intense and also just kinda fun.

Not here for music that might be a bit scary? "Edge of Saturday Night" The Blessed Madonna, Kylie Minogue is some eurodance to take the edge off.

If you like that track, try "Urallineed" by Jazzi Bobbi for some vaguely dancy indie pop. Love her voice.

This could've gone on the album review but honestly... Monkey Majik's new album is kinda Maroon 5-y and doesn't deserve a full shout out but give HYLMN a listen if you want to hear a fun, misremembered rip off of Blur's Song 2. Also, I guess the song Imposter.

"Check" by Flo is like... the kpop tracks inspired by Tinashe but... not kpop. Does that make sense? American, Fifth Harmony-esque song that feels like a kpop GG ripping off American Tinashe. A perfect feedback loop. Delectable.

"Out of Touch" Four Year Strong. Throwback, pop punk sound with a modern flourish.

"Nissan Altima" Doechii. As a Nissan driver, I had to rec this lmao. Great song, great flow, GET YA TITS SUCKED

"Tokyo" Sable Hills. Screamo :3 The guitar fucks

Older tracks: Keep Away by Carly Rae Jepsen (song to sway to), Bloom by Macico (the Japanese sound Harry styles tried to rip off), Thanks for Your Time by Gotye (dour and sensual) and Miss Fatty by Million Stylez (music to shake your ass to)

Posting this early because I know more music (Chungha, Bree Runway) is coming and uhhhh this post is already too full

"the doomed arctic coquette steward should've been in a kpop supergroup" is the only rational response to watching the terror for the first time

i had a dream that chuu redebuted in a kpop supergroup with sakura

OR A PROPHECY!?

Everyone getting upset about the Jikook content being monetised:

Having two members of the most famous supergroup in the world right now travelling around several countries for content is expensive af. With it being technically a work trip (and imho a very convenient union of two people clearly wanting to spend time together, them seeing the opportunity for some quality content during enlistment, and adding some padding to the whole travel permit pre-enlistment they'd have needed), I don't think they would've made Jikook pay for most of the expenses. But the hours of pay for staff, editors, security etc etc that would've been needed for the travel show need to be generated by the show. I don't know the deal between Hybe and Disney+, who paid who how much and so on, but I guess adding more profit - sth BTS and Jikook would itself profit from (meaning more free content later, more funds for things post enlistment) - isn't something unusual.

That said, there's plenty of options to consume BTS content without paying a single dollar. And I think, apart from pirating their music obviously, they'd be understanding because they know how it is to not have enough money.

Just because BTS produce something you can buy doesn't mean you have to. I myself haven't bought all the solo albums because 20 Dollars every few months just isn't something I can include in my budget. Same for the kdrama or the photofolios or the DDay concert dvds. But there's people that upload scans of the pics online, qdeoks exists for those of us who can't spend 50 Dollars for every boxset to watch one concert we like. You absolutely don't need to buy it, but they produce all this content anyway because it will undoubtedly sell. Is it capitalism? Yup. But that's just this world right now.

I'm of the opinion, kpop should add a version of albums or dvds without all the fancy extra stuff, to make it more accessible for the average consumer. Maybe the price will just be 5 Dollars less but that could be enough for many people in the fandom. Same for DVDs - I love the thought of 25 photocards of my beloved AgustD being all "tongue technology" on stage, but that's just not a realistic price tag for the average army to pay. It sold out, because people save up for it or are just rich and I can't be mad at the company to continue to make these products if they sell like hotcakes: it's just supply and demand.

Anyway. Eat the rich (though BTS maybe not), fuck capitalism and let Jikook be 🌈 for money.

yes exactly! you're a fan if you love bts and consider yourself a fan. you don't need to buy anything to be a fan. it's nice to have merch though I think because it's just nice things to have but it's not a prerequisite to being a fan or something everyone "needs to" buy. there's lots of merch I'd love to own but I can't afford to spend 100s of bts every month. you can always buy merch later too, you don't have to buy stuff immediately.

this monetisation thing is only coming up because it's jikook and people are looking for any excuse to be shitty. no one said the wooga squad is leeching off tae for in the soop friendcation or made up any weird theories about that. and I am not a fan of the wooga squad (sans tae obviously) and tbh the comments they made would have made it so easy to call that a fake scripted money grab.

I'd love to know about their disney deal cause it's interesting from a business/legal point of view. in the soop friendcation seemed like a last minute idea or at least something tae came up with on the fly and they scrambled to make it quickly. so idk how the others were planned there, why jimin's docu wasn't on there, will jungkook's be on there eventually? idk. hybe stays weird lol

[sungtaro]

okay i saw eric nam ask mark lee (nct) this so i'm sending it to a bunch of people bc i'm curious: you have to make a kpop super group consisting of at least 5 idols from any existing group, who are the members?

i thought about this deeply and had a lot of ways i could take this answer but i'm going to be 100% honest with you . here is my perfect supergroup lineup:

han seungwoo, cho seungyoun, kim wooseok, kim yohan, lee hangyul, cha junho, son dongpyo, kang minhee, lee eunsang, song hyeongjun, nam dohyon

Would you like to see K-pop artist contracts work like they would in sports? We’ve seen it somewhat when HYBE transferred Chaewon’s contract from Woollim as part of their plans to form Le sserafim. Imagine building up a star-level trainee from a small company only for them to demand a trade to a bigger company or for friends from rival companies to come together and form a supergroup XD

Interesting...

No I don't think it would work well, it'd just promote more toxicity. It would make the solo-stan situation even worse, because then there is less "team" identity for each kpop group. Instead of fans of X group, it becomes "collective fans of A, B, C, D members". Sure you'll have fans of the group as a whole still, but it'd be way less prevalent.

I do want to see kpop artist contracts structured and paid like sports contracts though, none of the bullshit revenue and cost split, just pay them like an employee each year.

Can you imagine Lebron James having to bear part of the cost of Lakers arena maintenance or staffing cost or Westbrook's salary as a "risk"? It's fucking stupid, but that's what BBC's split with Loona was. And it's probably true for some other companies too. These companies run by grown adults are asking trainees/rookies to shoulder some of the risk of debuting them, it's ridiculous.

I respect the vision and if I believe it's the idol's decision to be transferred then why not but I just feel like there will be a bunch of hate alongside it but hey that's a no-brainer in Kpop but I get it. Maybe they could learn a thing or two with what SMTOWN is doing with the GOT like have a group collaboration within their own company?

JUST IMAGINE FUCKING

TWI-TZY-NMIXX I think that'll tear the whole fucking universe up. Idk just me I guess?

[peatbogbody]

sometimes i think about the fact that some execs for one of the biggest kpop entertainment companies sat in a boardroom and decided the debut song for a supergroup featuring their biggest idols should be a song called Jopping that is about jumping and popping
