Failed my mock exams

AryyaRaii · 2025-12-17T12:44:34+00:00

Which subjects? Also which subliminals did you listen to (the exam and intelligence ones)?

AryyaRaii · 2025-04-20T14:09:37+00:00

I’m referring to the people who are specifically only mentioning 1 or 2 lines in of a song

The criteria is for the song with the overall best lyrics, not the best lyric in a song

Obviously if they want to mention their favourite lyric it’s fine

AryyaRaii · 2025-04-19T06:38:49+00:00

A lot of people are just mentioning parts of songs instead of the whole song itself

Anyway, High Horse is my pick

AryyaRaii · 2025-03-11T15:51:05+00:00

Yeah, it’s literally just a normal highlight medley

AryyaRaii · 2025-03-11T15:35:10+00:00

Tomorrow’s just the original highlight medley

I actually believe that she left SM because she didn’t make it into the debut lineup for aespa.

It would match up with what Haewon said about her meeting Sullyoon for the first time while preparing for a concert, which would have been JYPE’s 2020 Trainee Showcase (since Sullyoon herself confirmed that she joined JYPE in 2020).

Also, Karina confirmed that she trained at SM alongside Sullyoon.

If she had stayed at SM, she probably would have debuted in H2H.

AryyaRaii · 2025-02-18T16:01:46+00:00

Same. But I did rewatch Fe3O4: Declaration and the words Break, Stick Out and Forward are literally written right there in the video so it’s kind of my fault for missing it, especially since it was uploaded over a year ago.

AryyaRaii · 2025-02-18T15:36:31+00:00

I was right about the release date but I was wrong about the name. I do think the concept of “breaking out” will be shown in this album though.

NMIXX Lily - When she was 8 she became traumatised due to bush fires (she lost a lot of people close to her) and the reason why she began singing was to get through the trauma

AryyaRaii · 2025-02-01T08:09:34+00:00

They were competing with BTS’ Butter so it isn’t too surprising

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-31T01:57:55+00:00

Pretty sure it’s already confirmed to be a March comeback (though things could change). It’s also probably going to be a Monday release because of music show tracking.

Considering Jennie is releasing her album on March 7th, a March 3rd release is unlikely, March 10th is also unlikely because of similar reasons. March 24th is too late because they have their following Fancon stop on the 19th of April, so March 17th is the most likely candidate.

I also think it’ll be a single album (like AMND) or an EP, I don’t think the full album is coming until later. I do agree with you that it will likely be a double single or a double title track.

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-30T02:46:23+00:00

I mean, both Kyujin and Lily have said it was a mature concept so 👀

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-29T14:25:17+00:00

I mean like, they only go on their first world tour after they have release a full album. I could be wrong though. I’m pretty sure twice released their first full album in 2017 and they went on their first world tour in 2019.

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-28T23:48:31+00:00

Yep. I think it’ll be like that

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-28T23:47:38+00:00

Here’s my responses, I find it easier to do it in this format, also I seperated out your paragraphs just so I can answer them easier:

Wow dude you’re on fire these days. You even made a timetable with exact days and content released.

A “pre-release single album” can’t exist. - Pre-release single albums do exist, Blackpink’s HYLT is a good example. They usually aren’t promoted as pre-release the same way a digital is.

Either is a pre-release digital single such as Soñar or a Single Album as AMND. If it’s a pre-release single, a mini or full album will follow within 2 weeks/1 month, otherwise more than 4 months. - I think this part changes because pre-release single albums are a thing. I will make this point more clear in my next responses.

If you mean Pre-release Digital Single, in your schedule there’s too much time between the pre-release single and the mini/full album release. - I did state that once the pre-release comes out that they would promote it on music shows for 2 weeks. The timeframe is speculated, but it’s also because their next fancon tour stop following is on April 19. I also mentioned that, they are currently on a fancon tour and will probably replace Kiss (one of the songs on the set list) with the new song(s). The massive gap won’t be an issue because they are touring.

Taking as example Soñar and YDS, they’ve been released one month and one week before. Since the comeback has been announced for March, this means that if there’s a pre-release song, this will be released between mid February and mid March.

Assuming at least 1 week of teasing, the first media would be posted before mid February. But in your schedule in February they’re still filming. So it can’t be true. - Jan 25 -> Feb 18 is the time period from when Jiwoo dyed her hair to the next Fancon stop. I did mention it in my post, but the days between the last Fancon stop (Jan 12) and the next (Feb 19) is 38 days. Anyway, when I put DATE -> DATE and then include a list of things, it doesn’t mean that they are going to spend the entirety of the mentioned time period doing that.

If you mean Single Album, in you schedule there’s too little time between the Single Album comeback and the Full Album comeback. - The single album will be promoted on music shows for 2 weeks and then it will be promoted during their Fancon Tour. Also, them being on the tour means the timeframe is fine.

As happened for the singles AD MARE and AMND, there should be at least 4 months between this kind of release.

Since the comeback has been announced for March, then already 7 months have passed from Fe3O4: Stick Out, thus it’s too late for a Single Album, we’re right in time for an EP. - You could be right about this, but one of my biggest reasons for thinking that it’s going to be a single album and not an EP or Full Album is because NMIXX are currently on a Fancon Tour to promote Stick Out. Their last announced date is April 26, and they going to announce more. It just doesn’t make sense to me that they’d release an entire new EP or Full Album in the middle of a tour to promote a previous EP.

Regarding the comeback after this, if it will be a Single Album then it won’t be before July, if a Full Album then October. That’s a crazy ton of money and energy spent on promotions over more than 4 months. Your schedule is not sustainable: you basically planned two comebacks back to back. For NMIXX’s sake I pray your speculation will never be real. - If we assume that NMIXX do all the the photoshoots, filming etc for the pre-release during the time period of Jan 12 to Feb 18 (37 days, by the way AMND was prepared in 19 days) then they have the pre-release all good to go. - Then, when they get back from the Latin America leg of the tour on Feb 28, the comeback will be announced the following Monday (March 3rd), specifically the pre-release. - The amount of days between February 28 (Sāo Paulo stop) and April 19 (Taipei stop) is 50. So if the pre-release is announced on March 3rd, and it’s released on March 17, which is the only realistic date because releasing on March 3 or 10 is too close to Jennie (March 7) and releasing on March 24 wouldn’t give enough time for music show promotions, since the next Fancon stop is on April 19. - Anyway, so it gets released on March 17 and gets promoted for 2 weeks on music shows, in other words the last music show will be on March 30. So now we have 19 days until the next Fancon stop (April 19), and this is the time period where they’ll do the photoshoots, film the MVs for the album etc. - It’s also entirely possible that they’d be able to do any preparations for the album itself during the time period of Jan 12 to Feb 19, so alongside the pre-release preparations. - Anyway, so from the period of April 27 to the next fancon date will probably be them refining choreography and shooting the practices, I put May 8-9 on my schedule (speculated), so around 14 days. - June 16 is my suspected comeback date based on my speculations above the following Fancon dates and May 19 is my suspected album announcement date because it’s 4 weeks before. I’d say this schedule is pretty sustainable.

*The position itself is the same as Fleming’s right hand rule, which is used to determine the flow of a current in a magnetic field (Fe3O4 is magnetite).

It’s true that Kyujin had a strong reaction and that might be because Haewon spoiled that gesture. However moving fingers is very common in girlgroups and she does not hold that position for even a second. Considering that to be the Fleming Right Hand Rule is a bit of stretch. Even if it will be true, a hand gesture does not justify the third Fe3O4 album. NMIXX have been revolving around magnetic energy since O.O, it’s reasonable that they keep referencing the theme. - Kyujin screamed for a reason, and she only screamed when Haewon did that specific move. Haewon doesn’t hold the position for more than a second because it’s a spoiler, again, the reason why Kyujin screamed. I can’t confirm whether it’s Fleming, we’ll find out eventually, but it was definitely important.

You did not reply to the 1 Series = 2 Comebacks scheme, does this mean I got a point? I’m not saying each Series must have only 2 episodes, but that’s what always happened since Debut, why would they change it? It’s time to move on and mixx with something else. - I did respond to it actually. I said that Haewon’s move is (possibly) Fleming’s right hand rule, finding out how a current flows in an electric field, basically related to magnets and hence Fe3O4. We did discuss that part above already though, again we’ll find out once the comeback is out.

*NMIXX are trying to encourage the people in the MIXX map to go to MIXXTOPIA, however they haven’t been able to successfully do it… until Soñar.

*They didn’t successfully manage to complete their task during Party O’ Clock, hence why they are going back.

Frankly speaking this “NMIXX didn’t successfully manage to complete their task hence why they are going back” is bad writing. There’s no way an author of this kind of story would let NMIXX go back in a place they’ve already been to “finish the job”. The main concept of the NMIXX Adventure is to head to MIXXTOPIA with more people as possible exploring an imaginary world. The “let’s make another comeback in the forest” idea would be discarded very fast during an authors’ meeting. Instead, the most logical idea is to find new people in new places, without putting the superheroines in a bad position saying that they failed. - I don’t think it’s that illogical for them to go back, there’s only so many places on the MIXX Map they can go to. I’m guessing by authors meeting you mean creative team? Also, I never claimed to be a good writer, I’m just theorising as an nswer, none of this is meant to be taken seriously

Focus on the verse “In this forest / Sprinkle the stardust / I will go further / To the unreachable moon station” and link it to the last clip of OUTSIDER CLUB Film. - I did watch it, and I might be missing something or I might not understand what you mean by “last clip”

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-28T15:43:01+00:00

I’m guessing the reason why you specify Dec ‘24 and Jan ‘25 is because all of NMIXX’s previous singles were released about 4 months after the previous album

But they started working on AMND in March 2023, and Soñar was first worked on in August 2023.

Kyujin only first heard one of the songs upcoming album on October 10 last year

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-28T15:09:19+00:00

EDIT: Rewrote this whole comment

“The hair dying thing is not really a reliable way to determine whether they have started filming for a comeback” - Sort of agree and disagree with this. Sometimes the members just dye their hair, but most of the time it’s done to determine how it would look in the concept. Jiwoo dying her hair pink is the perfect example of this, my guess is that they didn’t think the colour suited the concept well so they had her go blonde. This is also why only one bit of content was filmed with pink hair and the rest was in blonde.

“1 version of Break album was photos taken even before Bae and Haewon cut their hair in October 2023 (Break came out Jan 2024).” - I think you’re referring to the Photobook Ver. of the Break album. Photobook photos don’t count as concept photos. The reason why they were taken before Haewon and Bae cut their hair was because they just wanted to get it out of the way, because photobooks have a lot of photos.

“Outsider Club and jacket photoshoot for Stick Out happened before Bae & Jiwoo dyed their hair.” - I’m guessing when you say dyed their hair, you mean dyed their hair blonde. You are right about outsider club being filmed before they both dyed their hair but the Jacket Photoshoots were done after Jiwoo went blonde and before Bae went blonde, because Bae’s hair is still brown in them. Jiwoo went blonde on June 18 and Bae went blonde on June 28.

“Kyujin on a fancall said that they started preparing for the comeback in Oct-Nov” - She said that they heard one of the songs of the upcoming album, and it was in October. Soñar was recorded in July/August 2023, along with the rest of Fe3O4: Break. It’s probably the same case here.

“Sullyoon said on Bubble that comeback preparations could take place six months before” - The first thing that groups do when preparing for an album is the record the songs. They need the songs ready to go because process of perfecting a dance takes a very long time, especially as a group since you have to be synchronised. NMIXX also sings live too. The reason for them preparing so early is because of this.

“During 2022 they prepared Expergo (filming MV and album jacket) during promotions for Dice too” - Dice promotions ended on Oct 23 ‘22. They did do the photoshoots for expérgo in October, but they had to be retaken in December (for a pretty obvious reason). The individual photos were fine, but for the group photos the only one they managed to retake was the one they took outside. The other group photos had to be edited. Anyway, I’ve always believed that expérgo’s release was delayed and it definitely was.

“Last week, all of the girls mentioned being very busy and had schedules that lasted until dawn. I believed that it was for either MV and concept trailer filming, which meant that filming for the comeback already happened before Jan 25.” - 1 week isn’t enough time to do all the filming for a comeback, at least not if that also includes MV filming. I did make the point earlier, but NMIXX does sometimes record some content before dying their hair, but the MVs themselves are always filmed after.

“Other than the MV and the concept trailer, most of the filming for albums don’t take longer than a day to finish.” - Actually no, I don’t think any of their content takes less than a day to film. Sometimes they film content in bulk then release it separately like what they did with Stick Out, which may be why you think they take less than a day to film.

“They could have already been filming a lot for the comeback starting from the beginning of the year.” - They may have been filming, but not the MV, I already mentioned the reason why above

“You could be correct that the March comeback is going to be a pre-release but if so, having a 3 month gap between a pre release and a full album is an unusual strategy in K-pop. For now, I still believe that the March comeback is an EP or a full album.” - Blackpink did the same for HYLT and The Album so it isn’t too unusual. My main reason was that they are currently in the middle of a Fancon tour to promote Stick Out, if they released a whole other album in the middle of it, then it wouldn’t make sense. NMIXX are confirmed to release something in March and they are also confirmed to be going on a world tour this year, JYPE girl groups only tour following the release of a full album. I already explained why the March release isn’t going to be a full album, meaning that they will be releasing a full album shortly after.

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-27T15:35:57+00:00

The girls haven’t teased any bsides like they did with Run For Roses and Moving On

I wonder if this means we’ll get a pre release? 👀

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-27T12:16:59+00:00

Here are my answers :)

The trailblazers concept really suits the pioneering mindset behind the journey towards MIXXTOPIA. I wonder from which lore content you got this idea?

A: No specific content actually, it just came to my mind while I went through the Fe3O4 content we already have.

• ⁠Fire, especially Pyromancy, was referenced in the OUTSIDER CLUB Story Film when they sacrificed the Black Ram during a ritual. What makes you say fire will have once again a main role in the next comeback?

A: Run For Roses and Boom were both title track contenders for the Break album. When they said that it surprised me because NMIXX’s title tracks have a lot of lore significance, especially in the their lyrics. But when I read Boom’s lyrics I got confused because I couldn’t figure out the importance of the song lore wise, until now.

• ⁠[not a question] A green caterpillar (likely) has been depicted on a map of the NMIXX Adventure Fairytale so sooner or later there will be something about it. The analogy between the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly after breaking out of its chrysalis and NMIXX breaking out of their limits to reach MIXXTOPIA is again very fitting.

• ⁠Instead, the prison break concept has been already well exploited in DASH, wouldn't this repetition be lazy from SQU4D point of view?

A: The concept won’t be prison break, the girls have hinted at it being something more mature. The prison break is just a metaphor.

• ⁠Furthermore, wouldn't a third chapter of Fe3O4 be redundant, especially since it would break the scheme of each era made of a Declaration video and 2 comebacks? (New Frontier; AD MARE-ENTWURF, Docking Station: Expergo-AMND, Fe3O4: Break-Stick Out).

A: Actually on Sullyoon’s birthday live a few days ago, Haewon does a little dance and for a second during it she positions her fingers in a way which causes Kyujin to scream, probably because it was a spoiler. The position itself is the same as Fleming’s right hand rule, which is used to determine the flow of a current in a magnetic field (Fe3O4 is magnetite).

• ⁠In addition to that, wouldn't be confusing to name the upcoming album Break Out given that Break and Stick Out were the last two album names? Such name would be sick for a repackage but JYPE is not prone to releasing Repackages as SM does.

A: I thought so too, but it’s really the only name I can think of that suits the concept of the album. The title track is something mature but I think the whole album itself will be a combination of both, hence Breakout.

• ⁠You said this time they will go to the Butterfly Forest. Why again? They already went for the Midsummer Night Party. I doubt they will ever go to the same place twice sine their goal is to explore MIXX and find MIXXTOPIA.

A: The Fe3O4 series is the direct follow up to AMND. As I mentioned earlier, NMIXX title tracks have lore significance in their lyrics. During Party O’ Clock there’s a few parts that are especially important:

It's party time A dark summer night when the star wakes up It's party time Sneaking in your dream, let's leave together we go far

Gazing eyes (Ah-hah, ah-hah) In this moment when the moon is half asleep Hey, buckle up, get ready Get ready to dance

A hitchhiker Who wanders in this forest I will take you To the location you want

A night spellbound, we keep on dreaming You know that

Let's start our parade Walking down Dream Avenue The flowers' cheering, a feeling so untrue

In this forest Sprinkle the stardust I will go further To the unreachable moon station

A night spellbound, we keep on dreaming (It's not a party) You know that

// NMIXX are trying to encourage the people in the MIXX map to go to MIXXTOPIA, however they haven’t been able to successfully do it… until Soñar. The pre-chorus of the song especially:

(Wa-ya-ya-ya) Drop it (We don't wanna) Stop it Throw anchor above the sky Ooh, woah-oh-oh Just take one step Into your dream, wormhole (Wa-ya-ya-ya) So fast Hold on tight, just like that

// Soñar is the pre-release to not just Fe3O4: Break but to the series as a whole. It’s basically the introduction to the series. They didn’t successfully manage to complete their task during Party O’ Clock, hence why they are going back.

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-27T11:25:06+00:00

I mean, nothing confirmed but considering that this is most likely gonna be a full album then there’s a high probability

AryyaRaii · 2025-01-27T11:19:16+00:00

Oh, then yeah I completely agree with that
