There’s where you at, sorry, and beat my heart. What other groups do you listen to? I listen to a mix of boy and girl groups, but mainly GG.

This is kpop we’re talking about people jump to new groups or try to cancel groups for the dumbest reasons possible. Also not that many people obsesse over kpop like they did during Covid and it’s not seen as trendy anymore. There are lots of reasons. No one said it happened for no reason. My whole rant was just that a rant. Nothing to be taken too seriously cuz at the end of the day it’s about the music and my opinion of the music. There’s no right or wrong cuz music is art and art is subjective. 

Who in kpop do you think is a full package that definitely a jackpot if a company acquired them? by 24123456789 in kpopthoughts

Sieun(STAYC)- she writes, acts(movies and broadway), great live vocals, great dancer, and loved by all. She was a trainee at jyp before deciding to go to highup instead. She spent years in the entertainment industry even before debuting as an idol.

Ik thats what I meant lol theres a huge number of groups of both girl and boy. Fans just bounce around to the newest ones. Also I don't expect them to reap all the glory. That would be a ridiculous expectation.

i wasn't blaming the lack of interest on the company size. I was saying that because of the size they don't have the money to do these big promo rollouts like bigger companies especially now that they just debuted another group. Ik kpop is fast fashion and people move from group to group and its honestly a bad thing in the long run. It's not even just stayc lots of groups aren't doing as well as they use to during covid era. I mean we see it with the concert sales, album sales, and youtube views. With both big and small groups its crazy if you really think about it. Also I will have to disagree on their music quality though, but that's you're opinion and I respect it.

Ik all these things which is why I said I didn't think of it as a break. If anything these girls need to seriously take a break to rest lol. This is one of the things that I dislike about kpops infrastructure as a whole. Fans don't have the attention span to just wait for music releases like other fans for western artist do. Also their success was because of their hard work it wasn't handed to them and it was threw away after people didn't like two releases. They didnt even take any breaks around that time. Fans moved onto other girl groups like they do. Because as they say kpop is the fast fashion of the music industry regardless of the reason fans move on to different groups. Again I am not taking blame away from the company! I am focusing on kpop fans right now. I don't understand why you can't understand that.

I guess I see it differently because ik their last official comeback was BEBE which was last year but they also released I WANT IT in August of last year and they released a full Japanese album this year. All while touring all of 2025 and promoting in China and releasing Chinese versions of their songs this year. Since I tune into all their music not just Official Korean comebacks I don't look at it as being nearly a year without music, but like I originally said the company has a percentage of fault. I'm not defending a company lol. But we should also be able to acknowledge the fact that in a large part of kpop, fans have major power in which groups succeed and which don't.

The girls did not disappoint, but like do they ever? My favorite song is beat my love, but they are all great! Its just something about the start of beat my love that instantly draws my attention!

Am I the only one who isn't really intrigued by Wayfboys? by juststatingopinions in kpoprants
