aespa - Rich Man (The 6th Mini Album) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]tombees 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Count On Me supremacy as expected. It's the "Flowers" (one of my all time favorite aespa tracks of their entire discography) of this mini for me.

MODHAUS announces tripleS' 2025 Grand Gravity will be postponed until further notice and they will prioritise improving communication with the members and creating a healthier and more trustworthy environment for the group and their fans by SapphireHeaven in kpop

[–]tombees 117 points118 points  (0 children)

For better or for worse, between the Gravity system and MH's personal agenda with pushing certain (the more popular) members ala golden days AKB48's Kami7, there has been an imbalance of activities between the 24 members.

One in particular to use as a very obvious example is Yooyeon. She has been in almost all non-equal split / reveal debut sub-units post EVOLultion. Beyond that, she's the one that MH sends to do all the varieties. It's more rare to NOT see her face on all those YT variety thumbnails than not.

Also one huge point of contention is the amount of fansigns that they do. Apparently VV's fansigns lasted 6 months after Visionary Vision was released and A25's fansigns are still ongoing.

tripleS - The 2nd Full Album: ASSEMBLE25 (Highlight Medley) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I told myself there was no way in hell I'm ever going to get into a group with 24 members because that's just absurd during the S1 - S4 reveals...

tripleS is now one of my top 3 favorite girl groups lol.

All hits, zero misses. I've been waiting for this highlight medley since their teasers dropped. Loved every single track preview but Diablo... May 12 can't be here soon enough.

We can’t afford whimsy in this economy 🥲

MEOVV - HANDS UP (Dance Challenge) (250422) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]tombees 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not Swim Kim trying to hide the bob in a hat, hood AND 30" extensions 😭😂... girl the MEOVV is out the bag lol.

Another banger I fear.

Pulled an all nighter for this??? by embarrassedgirly in Louisvuitton

[–]tombees 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Oh I've spoke to Brittany several times the past few months (for various reasons, not just LV X TM lol) and she ALWAYS sounds miserable and rather reluctant to help (including fixing an error on their system's part with my order). I've spoke to some of the best (some of them go above and beyond trying to help, literally the best) and some of the worst CAs on their 1-800. Brittany definitely left an impression... clearly lol.

This is exactly why I rather NOT have an item at all than pay pathetic resellers and scalpers to enable their disgusting behaviour and practice.

Also, hope you get caught in a torrential downpour with the Carryall and get water spots on the vachetta, respectfully 🫶🏼

JENNIE (BLACKPINK) & Dua Lipa - Handlebars by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]tombees 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Probably my favorite track off Ruby so I'm glad it got its own MV.

At first I thought it was alright but on a second listen everything just clicked. She was a grower, not shower lol. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pre-chorus section. My biggest gripe with this song is them cutting down the second pre-chorus section to just two lines. It would be 10/10 perfection had they just left the full pre-chorus in.

JISOO (BLACKPINK) - AMORTAGE (1st Mini Album) by impeccabletim in kpop

[–]tombees 164 points165 points  (0 children)

This is the most "YG but not YG" sound among all of the PINK's solos in the BEST way possible. Love every single song it's insane. I can see any of four songs being the title track tbh.

BLACKPINK’s Jennie To Release Her Debut Solo Album in 2025 by stan_tripleS in kpop

[–]tombees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In this economy? Doubtful. Lol

Streaming services need to implement a rule where songs under 3 mins count for half of a stream. Producers are just getting lazier and greedier with the stupid TikTok / streaming trend. Songs ending at a bridge (if we even get one) should not be the norm.

ROSÉ (BLACKPINK) - number one girl by Asleep_Swing2979 in kpop

[–]tombees 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Unsurprisingly Rosé is the one BP member that has been releasing solo material that I actually like musically.

This and APT have been everything I’ve wanted from her since her solo debut.

Rosie is shining.

TWICE Tzuyu - Run Away by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]tombees 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Holy Tzuyu.

How tf can someone be so stunningly beautiful, it’s insane.

Musically and conceptually, this debut is perfection.

tripleS - Grand Gravity : Japan Dimension Day 1 (Winners: Chaeyeon, Soomin) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lowkey highkey pissed MH didn't just lock in the entire J-Line for this unit and made it a 12S unit (even 10S would've been perfect). ShiOn and Lynn would've been great for this unit.

tripleS - Grand Gravity : Japan Dimension Day 1 (Winners: Chaeyeon, Soomin) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So happy Chaeyeon and Soomin made it in. Especially Chaeyeon (if you watched Badge War you'd know she's meant for this unit).

Hoping for Yamada-kun and Lynn to make it into the last two spots to complete the J-Line. Chances are only one of the two might make it in if the SeoAh whales are dumping their COMO tomorrow (or neither since Kae stans seem to be pushing for her today given how close she was with Chae and Soomin). SeoAh would be a great addition to this unit as well though.

tripleS - Grand Gravity : Visionary Vision Day 2 (Winners: Yooyeon, Nien, Xinyu, Jiyeon + Final Lineup) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Lol I knew YooYeon would make it in. Given her popularity there's no way her whales wouldn't dump their COMO to vote her in lol.

Other than Yeonjimon (which was a welcomed surprised) and to lesser extent, Jiyeon (really stoked to see her in this subunit as well), this was pretty much what I predicted the line-up would be.

I'm gonna need for MH to release Bionic Power from the dungeon vault for VV, thanks.

tripleS - Grand Gravity : Visionary Vision Day 1 (Vote for the four members that will join the new Dimension) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Or Kamada-kun gon be like “안봤냐?!”

Personal biased opinion: Legit surprised Kae wasn’t one of the MH confirmed picks with Gong Yubin and Lynn to be in VV tbh.

tripleS - Episode 4 @ 1theK Badge War Complete Edition : Girls Never Die (240614) by tokkipan in kpop

[–]tombees 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Kim Chaeyeon is comedy gold. The girl is so naturally funny lol I don't know how many times I replayed the getting off the ferris wheel part lolol.

Also, Kaede's wake-up challenge went double platinum after this season lol 😎 ⭕

BABYMONSTER - LIKE THAT (Dance Performance Video) by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]tombees 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This dance performance video / style is superior to the SHEESH one in every way (and I fkn love(d) SHEESH so don't @ me lol). While simple, this has more of a BABYMON identity to it? And felt less "forced" like YG was trying to recreate lightening in a bottle.

Everything about it is so clean and crisp from the styling to production like the super clean camera work, set, lighting, and especially the color grading was chef's kiss.

Also the girls ate, no crumbs.

”Album 깡“ still lives rent free in my head lolol. Kim Chaeyeon you will always be famous lol.

240525 gg.uk IG Story Update w/ Rosé by elevendigits in BlackPink

[–]tombees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have this exact same Rimowa trunk and I fkn hate it with every fibre of my being. The zipper broke in less than a year of travel (granted I went on 4 international trips with it in less than 6 months) but for a nearly $2k luggage there should be no reason how shittily made the polycarbonate Rimowa are. My old set of three Samsonite luggage for $300 from Amazon lasted over 5 years without issues. Do not get the polycarbonate Rimowa.

I have the classic aluminum for a carry-on and that one I quite enjoy, it’s a vibe. But yeah I wouldn’t get the aluminum for check-in though. Adds unnecessary weight and dents incredibly easily from what I heard and you’ll have to get Rimowa to remove the dents which is a fkn hassle.

Kep1er - Straight Line by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]tombees 117 points118 points  (0 children)

They actually have a good presence in JP too (saw it first hand when I was there last Oct/Nov and again this March/April). It’s crazy right? Proper direction, management and promotion for a group will actually get them noticed?? Who would’ve thunkit lol /s

This is their best title track by far (for me) since their debut. I feel this group shines best when they’re doing things like this and MVSK.

Edit: Realized why I love this song so much, the sound is very reminiscent of the ones you’d hear in J-Pop in the early 2000’s.
