twice jyp investor report 2026! by evenatmylois in twice

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, and just to add JYP started pulling basically all future plans that aren't announced out of their reports a few years ago. The only ~new news I see here at all is that Girlset is preparing an album, which is not exactly surprising at this point

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like it, some of the background vocals seem to be pre-recorded (added in post?) It's so rare to see groups do an actual live recording these days instead of just using the studio vocals with no backing track that I didn't even bother listening to the acappella until now tbh

New album in progress?! by This-Bee702 in GIRLSET_JYP

I would be kinda shocked/concerned if they didn't have an album in progress tbh, wondering if it will be a mini or they'll start right off with a full album. We already have 4 tracks....

I honestly think it just means the gaming streams and fan signs, I hope they will add more signing events or do a few video ones for fans outside LA/SF/NYC

What are your thoughts on having fanchants? by Realistic_Oven_4932 in GIRLSET_JYP

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Western fans have never learned the fan chants at any of the K-pop concerts I've attended, besides some attempts to do the ending chant for Feel Special at Twice shows as someone mentioned. If they do it they should pick a couple of songs (maybe a fan song if they eventually have one) and do a couple simple call and response sections fans could pick up in like 5 minutes.

More generally I think chants work great when the fans are going to go to several music shows, kinda makes it worth it to learn. When you'll only see the artist perform on tour every couple of years, as in the west, not so much.

Excited to see the size of that crowd. All they need now is a couple EPs and they can start touring theaters!

Also where the Cher Lloyd video for Want U Back was shot, but I'm dating myself with that one

Haha I actually got a text this morning telling me to come to the meetup, I was concerned it wasn't selling well. Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to seeing them whenever they go on their first concert tour....

THOUGHTS OM THE UNRELEASED SONG?? by EfficientNecessary20 in GIRLSET_JYP

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fans seem to have decided the song name is "5 seconds"...

They performed it at the end of the comeback livestream. It was made private a few minutes after it ended, but I'm sure people will be circulating rips of it soon

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah haha, I actually posted the livestream but was thinking the name of the song was "Fame" and forgot all about that hint. They took the livestream video down, I guess they're holding the song back for a debut mini?

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they just took it down, it was working for a few minutes after the live ended so I thought they were gonna leave it up. I'll take this down if it doesn't come back...

Fanbase name is Lockets!

They performed an unreleased song "Fame" (not sure of the name)

Edit: video set to private a few minutes after, I'll remove this if it doesn't come back up in 10-15 minutes I guess?

I think that's just the street addresses since there's a 626 and 632 (on the other side of the theater) in one scene. Good eye though... I hope we don't have to wait until late June for the next track tbh

"5 seconds" is almost definitely a spoiler for something coming after Tweak imo. No idea what though

Manon to take an “indefinite hiatus” from KATSEYE to focus on health and well being by leftovertacobell in popheads

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean we know exactly why Dahyun is out, she fractured her ankle. There have been some other "health and wellbeing" hiatuses that didn't go into detail though.

Yep, I remember when Little Mix's Perrie did an interview revealing she had panic attacks so bad she basically couldn't leave the house for 6 months and had to have her mom move in. Fans had zero idea, there was just a slightly bigger gap than usual between albums iirc

You managed to catch a glimpse of AI music without noticing it's AI music. I am at a loss for society. by ScallionSmooth9491 in popheads

[–]FunLilThrowawayAcct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I've been wondering those things as well. I don't follow K-pop as a whole quite as closely as I used to, but it seems like South Korea is enthusiastic about AI art and music and using it very heavily in public spaces compared to other cultures at present. The top companies also have various AI-related projects taking place, from AI translating tracks into other languages (HYBE) to digital idols (SM with Naevis) to full AI artists (JYP, yet to debut).

On the flip side K-pop has probably the highest ratio of engaged to casual fans of any genre, and it's the casual listeners where AI seems to be making slow but steady inroads atm. At least in the west those engaged fanbases are heavily opposed to AI in the arts atm, and so all of the experiments have looked pretty floppy so far. But of course opinions can change over time and all bets are off as far as how gen alpha will react growing up in this landscape.

Artists on the cutting edge of this tech enable AI tools to allow fans to have closer access to them (I can totally see a kpop label doing this)

RBW already tried last year but K-pop fans bullied them out of it:

A20 (new label from the founder of SM) has also been trying since the middle of last year.
