#logically i shouldnt even send this reaponse but you piss me off so maybe this will get through to you

taking a look at your page, youre an aespa akgae so i'll try to be brief since you wont listen anyway before i block you and your weirdo friend.

no, obviously sm didn't sit down and say "oh we're gonna take Exo's concept and redo it to give it to aespa" bc while theyre stupid, they arent that stupid. they just do what they always do and recycle things other groups did, with that majority of concepts coming from things in Exo's story and lore.

sm literally said that nct is in the same part of world as aespa and that thats where their videos and universe is set. so thats one senior, Irene appeared in one of the lore videos so thats another group as well. Hyo was rumored to be an upcoming villain after black mamba but ig they scrapped that idea. the company has specifically stated that every group plays a role in the universe or the creation of the kwangya verse so like yeah every group is tied into it now.

wayv literally went through a whole ass hiatus and multiple members did not know whether they'd work again. i get that dream and 127 get a lot, but thats at the expense of their members health and safety and not every member gets treated the same way within those groups. theres disparities between members that should be taken into consideration as well.

aespa being profitable since debut means almost nothing really. they have four members compared to the much larger groups everyone else has or had. also keeping in mind that conditions were vastly different between some of the other groups and today. sm has to put more money into nct to get a return bc the amount of members makes it impossible to profit, but thats how companies always operate. and to address your point of disparity between debuts, yeah of course there is bc there was a pandemic when they debuted and restrictions have only really let up recently in 22/23

and when you say 10 month hiatus, surely youre not referring to the part of 2022/23 between Girls and My World where they had multiple showcases, performances and appearances, a variety show, and the concert tour? bc thats the only gap i can find, and even that was filled with a lot of things. not to mention irt what they got, they literally became brand ambassadors for a luxury brand, Givenchy, three months after debut and racked up more over the course of 2021 which is much faster than basically any other sm group at any point.

in your previous reply, you said "Red Velvet get videos on their birthday" to which i said that was a relatively new thing. bc it is. those literally started in 2020. if we had been talking about the birthday fanmeets, i wouldnt have said that its new bc those arent. maybe read back your posts before you try to explain my own fucking fandom to me like im stupid. im a long term EriLuv, ik what the fuck the groups have gotten and not gotten over the years.

and not to keep this argument going in circles, but yes we know aespa gets some shitty treatment. no one is arguing against you on that. youre just being willfully stupid and ignoring the fact that other groups suffer under the company as well and that even tho they get other or more content, it comes at a cost as well.

but of course, this all means nothing to you and you'd rather hope and wish and be happy for other groups having scandals and wanting them to disband.

I think aespa fans have the right to be mad for a lot of things one of them being one of the bg meber being a nepotism kid but everybody being fine with thar while giselle still gets hated for made up nepotism rumors. There is only 2.5 years difference between aespas debut and this one and now we can see that sm rushed aespa debut even though they had a lot of time to complete everything. Riize getting music show promotions for pre release and getting 2 pre release at that and now this physical album,I don't remember if nct had a physical album for their debut but red velvet certainly did and so did aespa. Aespa actually had 3 back to back digital singles to that sucked along with little to no content and promo. Even now they don't have a full album and all mys are scared that sm is gonna put the rest of the concert tracks in the new mini. If sm rushes the nggs debut and only gives them a digital single then we can all conclude that they are sexist mfs. And yes they did have a press release something along the lines that ride topped some chart and aespa fell below them which made the fans rightfully angry

i never said aespa fans don't have the right to be angry i literally said you're right to be angry over aespa's treatment and im on your side with that. im just against holding a grudge against another group simply because they got better treatment during a debut. they can't control what the company does just as much as aespa can't. wayv didn't have a comeback for close to two years and ten was out of the country for 9ish months and winwin was gone for 1.5 years. we didn't get any full group content for so long (and we still barely get any) and yangyang even said that at one point was worried because he didn't know if wayv would ever even come back. they still barely get anything compared to 127/dream in terms of cbs and tours and yet i don't hold it against the other units. the press release sounds to me like they were just saying riize has performed well so far in some metric and then using another well charting sm group as point of reference. that's nothing personal against aespa, its just how companies run they will always compare their groups. and in the case of charts, saying one sm artist charted high and surpassed another is not an attack on aespa, its just an objective analysis of the current positions of their artists in a constantly changing chart ranking. and as for of them being a nepotism kid, i've definitely seen him getting hate for it on twt. and are mys also mad at sunny for being lee soman's niece and chris lee's cousin? or is it just anton. the nepotism thing is going to follow all three of them for the rest of their careers and personally im not going to let it bother me. i like to embrace those types of things with humor because getting mad isn't going to erase it so i'd rather just have fun with it. as for the smngg, i full heartedly hope the ngg gets as good of a debut as riize, but im not going to spend my time worrying about hypothetical scenarios in the unknown future, it just adds extra suffering. we'll get there when we get there.
