Chi Mat Ba Ram is one of those ear worms that just stays stuck in your head. I’m pretty into it even though Fever is my favorite from the EP. Brave brothers went off on this

TWICE's "Taste of Love" debuts at #6 on this week's Billboard 200. "More & More" debuted at #200, and "Eyes Wide Open" at #72.

Well, I wouldn't be that shocked if they did, because if you look at the post-ioi groups its sort of a wasteland. The only one doing great is chungha, and a couple of the others are still around (weki meki, somi, I don't know any others off-hand). If you're a company looking at that, taking a smaller piece that is already working seems better than rolling the dice on putting that person into something new.

Those companies all realizing that the #2 best selling girl group in the past decade (even in their short run) might be worth keeping around is pretty hilarious. I hope they can work it out for the girls because their farewell concert was brutal and clearly showed none of them wanted it to be the end.

Every time I get really into a male soloist for the first time I check and yep, they were in Wanna One. You'd think I liked Wanna One more considering almost everyone from it went to do great work solo or join some of my favorite newer groups

"I want to see what she's in love with."

Looks like Yezi has a new track coming tomorrow. Wonder if it'll be a ballad/singing focus or rap focused. The last one was more rap, so I'm sort of expecting a singing focused but we'll see! (Last release was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HbBrJf_YmA )

Alexa has a comeback scheduled for July 1st as well, looking forward to that. I think they've moved on to a slightly different concept, but I expect it to be more similar to something like Revolution ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCx_OVfVav0 ) than the ballad she did.

Brave Girls got their first win for this comeback on The Show today. They previously set a record for longest time for a girl group to get a win with Rollin' at 10 years, and now they set a record for fastest release to win for a girl group at 5 days :3:

it's still dominating charts too (and Rollin' is still top 10 on all of them)

#1 FLO
#1 Genie [=] *6th day at #1*
#1 Bugs [=] *6th day at #1*

There's a new video of Laboum performing Journey to Atlantis, they've got a new m/v of it coming out soon as well filmed in Busan with Visit Busan for a promotion. No where near as big a turnaround as Brave Girls but it's nice they've still got some popularity out of the MSG Wannabe cover of the song.

Laboum is one of those groups that I enjoy their stuff (tends to be well made and performed) but nothing really grabs me.


Yezi's track is a vocal focused one, I haven't checked but I think that makes a decent pattern of alternating between releases of vocal->rap->vocal focus. I think I like the song, though not as much as her other, though I swear the MV is at like 24 fps or some poo poo because it just feels weird on my eyes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbnupzcwLCY



edit: saw an actual useful comment on this video (brave girls pool party - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPxmbEl1L_s )
What does the featuring rapper do with his glasses?

I think he one hand folds them and then a few moves later slips them into that side pocket, but I'm not completely sure.

Ashley Choi (from ladies code) has been doing a decent amount of radio/podcast/youtube stuff for a while. She's on a podcast with BM from Kard and Peniel from BtoB over on dive studios (who have a bunch of stuff), but this is from her radio show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nev6Id4C7VY

Twice's year is looking insane, we just had taste of love, japanese album next month, english single in sept which might be part of another korean comeback, if not then they would probably have a korean comeback in oct/nov, and a whole bunch of melody projects in between. Gotta make as much money as possible before contract talks next year I guess

Don't forget Kura Kura mini too. Twice stay busy AF.

I don't think the English release will be part of a Korean comeback but a western only comeback and promo. It seems like a mix of Republic wanting to test the waters and JYP not wanting to go all in, so a digital single makes sense. The US tour was a big success 2 years ago and they're much more popular here now, so I hope they get a big hit out of it.
