I really don’t know about the new NCT 127. That flute is so shrill that it hurt to listen to.

At this point I guess I'd be disappointed if NCT made it easy to love their title tracks, but yeah the flute... will be quite tough to get over. Otherwise I quite like the song, but the flute is just... always there

I honestly have no loving clue what to expect out of this, haha. I do remember that they put a disclaimer about not having any connection to the illuminati because of troll comments on youtube though, that was hilarious. Looking forward to whatever they're doing either way.

I know there were some people who got their interest peaked a page or two back, so here are some "introductory" style videos they did, which mostly amounts to shinsadong tiger trolling LE while they do it.

Shinsadong throwing hella shade at EXID's lack of real dance skills while LE is hyping up Mire is a full rear end mood.

All of TRI.BE's web content owns tbqh and there is a lot of it. But those introductory videos are an A+ start!

This small duo's new song is basically some terrible song I assume is aimed at kids but still worth giving it a listen on spotify just for the sake of support tbh

also Wild Idol is very ridiculous, they had the trainees squatting with 50kg stones and flipping 40kg logs in the first ep.

I just learned about JUNE and this is my jam too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtD8TRiEDcc

Anyone got some other singers who are men with upbeat happy groovy songs like this? I have a lot of difficulty finding stuff that isn't girl groups or solo women because so much of it is either overly sentimental sounding stuff or trying to sound way way too hard (like GOT7 or somethin) instead of just having a good time

See-thru by Primary w/ Zion.T and Gaeko was pretty good but it's not consistently up my alley. JUNE sounds like a modern version of Bobby Brown's solo stuff right after New Edition

Their other stuff like "I'm Fine" and "Star" are not what you are looking for but perfectly fine song in their own right.

also I looked into the label that JUNE is from and found out that might be one of my favorite labels

My two takeaways from this 1. wow this is the worst solo performance I've seen this year. 2. the eating disorders really have gone too far

What? The video is well made with some great sets and she looks pretty healthy, especially her legs.




People with eating disorders don’t tend to have a lot of lower body mass or definition. Obviously Lisa is very lanky but she does not look like Rosé did in some of the performances this year (and to a lesser extent Somi). Ribs showing during dancing doesn’t automatically equal eating disorder.


I still don’t like the song but it’s cool that she topped the billboard rap chart and pushed Drake out on week 2. Also the first foreign female soloist to win on a show.

I’ve seen people say this about Lisa before and don’t get it.

When I watched the video literally all I could focus on was the ribs everywhere, even with the slightest movement. Normal diet and exercise don't get you to that level (and remember the old "camera adds 10lbs thing". K-pop has always had a close association with artists being forced not to eat so making a leap to eating disorder when someone's ribs are out every time they slightly move doesn't seem like a stretch. I'm overly sensitive to anything that might encourage eating disorders these days, given how awful TikTok has been at promoting that stuff, and the recent BTS comments of a member telling a fan to skip dinner because they'll feel better. It is funny though how wanting artists to have their mental health better looked after and be able to have nice normal diets brings out weirdo defensive fans that seem more on the agencies side than anything else though.

Still think the video is awful though. Song is garbage as discussed when it came out, choreo is boring, sets are boring. I guess it's cool her bad song beat Drakes awful songs.

edit: Actually the thing that has me most confused with people being defensive is.. saying someone looks like they might have an eating disorder isn't an attack on them? An eating disorder isn't a personal individual failing, it's something that comes around because of a toxic environment, media pressure, social media influence etc. I don't think there would be a single kpop artist that wouldn't have an eating disorder given they all go into extreme weight loss mode when it's comeback time.

I thought the choreography was good on that Lisa Video though I don't like the song. I guess the only thing I can complain about is how it has 6 mil views on the day it was released. Coming from fandom that tells each other to increase views, 6 mil in a couple of hours is unheard of.

BP and BTS are in an entirely different ecosystem when it comes to social media metrics. It’s nuts. I remember seeing the BTS free concert peaking at over like 10m live viewers.

Soyeon owns, but Yuqi wins out as my idle bias solely because of her Learn Way variety show lmao.

Wasn't sure about the song one first listen but after a second that chorus is deep in my brain

The long break in the MV in the middle serves no purpose at all and just kills what would be a cool reveal for that final set lol. Choreo is nuts.

LOVE is has a loving killer hook for a power ballad style song

this is a great album so far

Swipe is probably the weakest song on the album and I have no clue why that one is getting the second title treatment.
