I remember when groups used to switch songs all the time, Girl's Day & Apink switching was one of my favorites. This is when Girl's Day first changed up their concept. 

@abs-oluteM

I haven't gotten the chance to watch yet so I've been avoiding this thread like the plague lmao I don't want any types of spoilers, but will return once I eatch both episodes. 

She is literally one of my faves out right now, everything she puts out is gold imo 

Better Than You Left Me is always a gem for me

Knowing which agency they come from, BP should have been hit it big & had a much better impact, but also knowing their agency it's pretty obvious why it hasn't truly happened yet. This isn't to downplay their success, but YG isn't exactly known for having the best idol management especially for girl groups (*cough*2ne1*cough*). These girls work extremely hard so I hope they don't go on a year long hiatus after this album. 

Only one episode and it's already being praised for it's story & acting? This makes me even more hyped, c'mon episode 2 and subs! 

Episode 1 is 25% subbed so far on Viki, I hope this is one where people are hyped to sub it so it goes faster lol 

It seems to be D-Day!!! Woohoo!!!

Gaaahhhhh my BoRene heart   KBS milked the heck out of their chemistry even after they both left MuBank.

the neat sync & positioning kinda reminds me these:

I'm happy with this one coming soon.

 

I'm always amazed at how in sync a lot of these larger groups/performances can be. 

WJSN's MoMoMo has always been great, music shows don't do the synchronization justice. 

WJSN has always been a favorite of mine, their choreography is always very detailed especially in the earlier days when they had all 13 members. 

@abnoch

Yerin is so talented, I'm glad she gets to do what she wants, but wish JYPE had done better by her & Jamie. 

15& also had an amazing Immortal Songs performance as well 

Omg speaking of 15&, I'm STILL bitter of what could have been. 

Love Is Madness was such a great song & did well on the charts, if only JYPE let them do the music they wanted as a group instead of trying to make them into an idol like group. 

Shy Ma Boy is also a great song btw ;) 

@abs-oluteM The chemistry.....the visuals....They're making it really hard to concentrate on anything else....like.....what was I saying?

@abnoch

I find myself not getting too into some newer groups simply because I'm just lazier than I was before lol I've listened to Itzy's debut and it didn't do anything for me so I just never bothered after that. They're successful so I hope JYPE can continue to manage them properly as they have a history of not doing right by their girl groups. 

I was into Mamamoo when they first came out, but kind of stopped following them too close. Don't hold your breath with hoping RBW makes studio versions of their Immortal Songs stages lol Sometimes a kind soul makes a mp3 version of it & makes it available, but not often. Although I think I got an audio version of a 15& performance, but don't think it was official. 

I do adore Rowoon, BUT I am super here for Won Jin Ah (I just love her so much). I really hope this one will be good, I like the plot based on what I see. 

@abnoch

I haven't really gotten into Itzy, but I really feel like I should lol 

So is iQIYI the official site who's subbing it? Because if so, looks like I have to get my VIP membership back and I just deleted it like 2 months ago. This means if they have it, no one else does.

Yeah, same here! I thought she was done, but it randomly showed up on my YT recommendation this week. I'm excited to hear the song. I liked the last song she did with Primary. 

 

@stroppyse@Merry_Shai: I agreed that Cheer Up is a nice song by Twice (same with that slowed down version too). It's probably the only song I think of when their name comes up. I didn't really follow their songs much after that. 

I listen to most releases by a good chunk of artists, I don't like blindly dismissing stuff, but I just haven't been crazy about many of their title tracks. However, I like their b-sides, I'm one who often prefers non-promotional songs. 

About Choa, I really thought she was done with entertainment altogether, but I guess she just needed time away from the spotlight. 

@stroppyse

Cheer Up is one of my least favorite songs from Twice lol I prefer their earlier songs from their debut era (Candy Boy is one of my all time faves). 

Actually there was this show called Girl Spirit where it had some underrated main vocalists from girl groups & Oh My Girl's Seunghee did a slowed down version of Cheer Up and I played this version so much when it came out. 

As far as girl group attire, it honestly depends. There's groups that were forced into having sexier concepts and were unhappy (Stellar) and there's groups that embraced it (Girl's Day). I prefer it if groups can gradually change and mature with time versus having a drastic change, it's only happened a few times like Girl's Day who's change helped them. Sexy and mature concepts don't work for everyone though. 

@Tofu 

I'm surprised Choa is releasing stuff since it seemed like she was done with idol & singing life after she left AOA. 

Wait @bluepebbles those are actual pics??? Ermmm as if I wasn't already excited, but those pics....how should I put this.....the chemistry...looks....promising

So yesterday, but I still like this song a lot. Timeless!

 

 

2ne1 will forever have timeless tracks. 

I've honestly been replaying this one, this entire album was gold. (Red Light & Pink Tape are basically standard for solid albums imo)

@JenL

I think Netflix is still learning how to handle Aisan dramas since, as you said, viewers are much different than western audiences. I remember they once posted an entire series while the show was still supposedly airing in Korea, they forget most fans watch it live & it gets thrown off if it's uploaded in its entirety on another platform. They do better when they partner with a company to air the show alongside those in the country of origin. Splitting a series into 2 isn't what most of us signed up for lol If there is going to be a season 2 to Triad Princess, it should at least be confirmed to happen so we're not waiting around like clowns haha

@Merry_Shai we definitely need more recommendations here 

 

Recommendations for groups or songs? or both? Never worry, I got you ;) 

I have a laundry list of songs that I love (some groups no longer exist, but that's okay lol) 

Berry Good - Don't Believe (Idk what happened to them tho) 

Wa$$up - Shut Up U (they do not exist anymore, but their music was so so good) 

CLC - 1,2,3 (CLC have a lot of great songs, I can actually make a thread on their stuff alone. Also feels like i-fans don't talk about them unless it's their newer stuff & while that's great, it greatly diminishes their amazing stuff pre-girl crush eras.)

Ladies Code - Hate You (I still hate what happened, it's extremely hard to watch pre-Galaxy era stuff, but this non-promoted track was oh so so so good)

BESTie - Excuse Me (I am STILL pissed about how they ended, their agency just completely screwed them over.) 

That's all for now, let me know if ya'll need more lol 

I'm just gonna post about my current fave right now - CLC's Helicopter
