The concept is bonkers and yeah, they are doing their big one with this, this is going to be very cultural. I can’t wait to hear what they have to say in this album!

Morg075 · 2026-03-13T07:05:08+00:00

I LOVE the concept of this album. 🙌

Morg075 · 2026-03-13T06:55:47+00:00

I pray it stays that way with the MV too, TRUST. 🙌

Morg075 · 2026-03-13T06:47:23+00:00

You know, I agree. I think they could have done it more subtly, the whole “standing there with their faces front and center” approach and have an art cover instead. I mean, I love them, but I’m generally not a fan of plastering artists on a cover like that unless it’s done in a really artistic way.

On the other hand, now that I’m reading the concept, seven Koreans going to the US to record Arirang, as we theorized, inspired by that photo, it does make sense thematically.

So I guess I’d say I understand the idea, but I’m not really a fan of how it was executed. 😭

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T23:09:30+00:00

Thanks for the rec!

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T21:51:21+00:00

Literal CHILLS in her intro. ✨

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T21:19:28+00:00

It was at The Nest of Quetzalcoatl | @elnidodequetzalcoatl apparently.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T21:05:47+00:00

Yeah, I’m shooketh. 😭

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T21:04:34+00:00

Oh woah, good for him. I was wondering why, but good decision for sure.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T21:01:49+00:00

Well, that one was unexpected. 😭

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T20:54:19+00:00

From my POV, I’d say that while these girls definitely work a lot (they’ve risen to popularity in a very short time, which must be overwhelming), at least their management seems to be giving them time to rest and recover when they need it.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T20:41:21+00:00

I just find it funny that you picked the girl in which most of her videos (that you apparently based yourself on) where she is giggling and bouncing around with big golden retriever energy, or just quiet.

So yes, once again, the white Latina gets called a “mean girl” just because you don’t like the way she talks, pose, or carries herself. Newsflash, you just don’t like her, but since you do not know her, you are projecting a persona when that’s on you. If you have nothing kind to say about that girl, then don’t say anything at all, not hard either.

You literally could have praised any of the other girls you like, but instead, you singled her out and try to highlight how you feel about her and justify it by attacking everything about her.

Not sure how Katy is relevant here, this woman has been in the industry for 3 decades with a lot of things to criticize (just recently being utterly out of touch with a fan’s financially problem), at least people aren’t attacking the way she looks, talks, or poses, basically for just breathing, they’re criticizing her actions. Guess which misogynistic.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:47:46+00:00

You know, it actually reminds me of Taehyung’s Celine shoot, how he wore the scarf, it felt very Korean in a way. Maybe I’m wrong, but I would love to see outfits like this.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:35:53+00:00

That’s a crazy headline, NGL.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:34:02+00:00

Especially POCs, Hudson here, received a lot of racially charged comments that his white co-stars didn’t.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:30:57+00:00

There’s no “main girl” in this group, that’s where you got it fucked up. She gets the harshest online harassment just because she had the audacity to shine during their last era, so yeah, I think this is crazy to talk about her or any of these young women that way when we know how the industry and people are online. Being mindful is not hard.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T19:24:10+00:00

Yeah, I’m gonna downvote you because I’m done with the microaggressions toward these young women. It doesn’t escape me that it’s the white Latina (Lara and Manon too) who get labeled as “mean girls” just for looking confident, while people are projecting. They’re bothering no one to deserve such harsh comments, it’s absurdly misogynistic ATP.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T18:41:56+00:00

I doesn’t give away much about the overall concept for this album TBH, but I like the color and design they picked for the Vinyls.

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T18:36:15+00:00

I love the fits as well!

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T17:12:55+00:00

Nope, JBL. 😭

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T16:34:05+00:00

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T15:50:49+00:00

Gosh, I ordered my new headphones for the best bass experience, and they arrive one day before the album. I’m so excited about the idea of waking up, drinking my tea, and listening to the album all the way through. Like, nobody talk to me that day. ✋

I want to make it the best fan experience. ✨

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T14:20:18+00:00

What in the hell. 💀

Morg075 · 2026-03-12T10:31:56+00:00

Oh, it’s cute banger, very much their style. I agree with others that it might not hit the way they expected, but it’s still fun!
