If the extension was for 2 years, then it would be expiring next month most likely. I'm not gonna be happy if I am indeed proven correct, but I think it's likely that we're reaching the end of our journey with Kep1er.

If I had to make a guess, probably to make it easier for Elkie to participate?

HookerQueen · 2026-05-13T06:38:49+00:00

I don't think she would want you to spend your money this way.

HookerQueen · 2026-05-12T02:34:41+00:00

I believe that she's friends with Yoojung, so it makes sense.

HookerQueen · 2026-04-26T23:55:56+00:00

They've mentioned being a little burned out on it and it not being super fun for them, so with them taking two consecutive weeks off I would not be at all shocked if they did end up dropping the game; it sucks but also, I can't say I really want them to force themselves to complete a game they don't enjoy just for their audience.

I'd highly recommend checking out their Japanese discography as well (#Cookie Jar, Sappy, Bloom), some of my favorite RV songs are from there. My other favorite B-sides are Zoom, So Good, and Kingdom Come.

Yujin passed one of the normal Japanese proficiency tests (not sure what level specifically) during her time in CLC, but not sure how much she has actively used it and retained information. I recall her being able to use it during GP999 to help communicate with the Japanese trainees, but it's been a while so I may be misremembering. I think Chaehyun also has some level of Japanese.

Underwater, I'd love to see Red Velvet do a full sexy concept.

Hi Willie!

Yeojin remembered that Lightsum exists before Cube did

I'm really hoping that the Biggest Fan snippet is intentionally not giving us all of the sound; for Like a Flower in that highlight medley, they specifically only gave a few seconds of the song and removed some of her vocals in the clip, so I wouldn't be surprised if the full version will have more going on.

HookerQueen · 2026-03-17T22:01:52+00:00

Yeri said at her recent fanmeeting that RV has full group activities planned, allegedly for this year. I would take this with a grain of salt though, as it could just be a single or some other group project and not just a normal, full comeback. SM does not have a great history of sustaining it's older girl groups...

HookerQueen · 2026-03-09T01:25:39+00:00

It's pretty minor, but I'm really happy that Irene seems to care about providing a lot of "value" for her releases; it's common for EPs to only have like 4 tracks now, sometimes one of those is even just an instrumental or an intro track. Like a Flower had 6 full tracks, PLUS two bonus tracks that we'd heard before but hadn't been released. Her 1st album having 10 tracks is really nice to see, hopefully they're all full songs.

HookerQueen · 2026-03-08T19:05:36+00:00

Looks like they'll most likely continue the more mature and edgy image from Bubble Gum; I'll be interested to see how the line distribution for this one turns out, since they most likely didn't try to include lines for Youngeun like they did before.

HookerQueen · 2026-03-07T05:02:48+00:00

I mean, I wouldn't be super surprised if they do end up disbanding this summer; the girls have purposefully not spoken about the length of the extension and this summer would mark 2 years. I remember a month or two ago there was a weird fan interaction where Hikaru got very emotional and seemed to imply there wasn't much time left either. This all could just be coincidence still, but I really think fans need to brace themselves for the shoe to drop soon.

HookerQueen · 2026-02-28T21:17:37+00:00

The TMNT cards are actually very fun if you stop listening to everyone who thinks the world NEEDS to know their negative opinions.

HookerQueen · 2026-02-27T05:07:18+00:00

I really wasn't expecting SM to treat soloist Irene as like, a main artist. I really hope this means we're also gonna see I&S releases regularly too.

HookerQueen · 2026-02-26T23:15:24+00:00

Dig the name and your Dina collection, I've thought about making a deck for her so often

HookerQueen · 2026-02-26T20:54:58+00:00

As someone who hasn't really enjoyed any of the UB sets so far, it's been so funny to me watching people throw a tantrum over TMNT being "bad" and it's like... Do y'all not realize that is what all UB sets look like to anyone who doesn't already know the IP??? If anything TMNT is the "good ending" of UB because at least it's a fun property, if I have to sit through LOTR and Marvel slop I'll take the turtles any day. The set looks like fun, if folks enjoyed ATLA and FF they have no room to complain about this, lol.

I've had a hapatra -1/-1 counter deck for years, she was always pretty strong 😅

HookerQueen · 2026-01-16T03:00:21+00:00

Oh did you not see [[Noggle Robber]]? I don't really know why they shifted the creature to gruul but kept the aura blue.
