i read that big rear end thread on r/kpop and i....do not understand how the industry works. is it to be assumed that 95% of the artists are like a quarter million dollars in debt to a bunch of sound and costume companies while a couple old guys in suits cash any checks that come in? h...how. why would you even enter into something like that? 1% chance that you could eventually become the biggest star and get like the income of your average office drone or something?

on a separate but not that unrelated note i'm trying to expand my horizons and find some stuff so i can do something besides hump dreamcatcher and itzy leg. magic strawberry sound seems like a cool thing, any other suggestions? i like somewhat upbeat stuff in general but can do a torch song now and then

Kpop is one of the more evil industries in music business.

Tough to say. Parts of the Jpop industry make Kpop look progressive, but at the same time parts of it are way better for the average idol. The US music industry does a lot of similar scummy deals with record advances being predatory loans that keep smaller artists in extended debt and stuff too.

It all comes down to the typical criticism of capitalism and that applies to every entertainment industry (and sports, etc). There’s also the cultural aspect of Asian countries where dedication to a company and job is expected to supersede almost everything else in life which amplifies the control and abuse aspects of the industry.

I really like the new WayV, makes me think that EXO's MAMA would sound a lot like this if it was released now. But man, this is their first comeback in almost two years and it has brought out all the weirdos who've convinced themselves that all the accusations against Lucas were proven false and evil SM made him write a false apology. Truly don't get these people, you don't have to make excuses for other people's lovely behavior.

It's weird that a year and a half later SM's still keeping him in limbo. Just let him go if you're not doing anything with him, he's a distraction for the group and they'll be fine without him.

It’s definitely reminiscent of Jersey club dancing. Cookie had that same sounds but the choreo was more traditional; the beat for this fits really well with it even if the dreamy synths make it into something kinda different.

This sounds like I can still hear Taeyeon's/Tiffany's voice in the chorus. Maybe I'm just hearing the original in my head after listening a billion times.
