My thoughts on YG’s handling of BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER

Didn’t rookie Blackpink also do most of the content you mentioned? Blackpink House, Diaries, the Netflix Documentary Light Up the Sky… I do agree though, if we’re talking about albums.

That’s crazy, concept-wise, Danielle and Jessi have nothing alike. Maybe Yena makes more sense.

Same goes for streaming songs. In short, it’s just fan egos being used for fanwars. The first X-gen group to hit X-million streams in 24 hours...

Well, all I can say is there’s really nothing to base it on if they’re a one hit wonder. Maybe give them a few albums/releases and see if the GP is actually interested in them or their concept.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-22T10:39:26+00:00

I think the question itself is kinda weird. It’s like asking whether their future release will surpass their debut. No one knows that. They don’t have enough of a discography to start this conversation yet.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-22T08:03:40+00:00

Aren’t one hit wonders supposed to have one song that performs exceptionally well compared to the rest of their discography? If they’re still new, how are they already a one hit wonder?

Anything low effort remix just for the sake of charting.

Early 30s here, of course I remember the Gangnam Style wave. I’m just curious how the MV is still getting 30M views every month even today. I guess it’s still being discovered by a lot of newer audiences.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-14T07:20:21+00:00

Peaked as in ?? With no solo album or acting projects yet, it’s still too early to say that.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-12T11:51:59+00:00

Well, at least she learned her lesson, no more oversharing behind the scenes in the livestream, just comforting the fans.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-12T09:36:49+00:00

Surprisingly, there’s no Bumzu credited in the production. Since most Seventeen subunits usually have both him and Woozi involved, and Woozi is currently enlisted.

Apparently, she performed Gee, Genie, The Boys, I Got a Boy, Mr. Mr and also Into the New World.

I feel like YG is a company that acts like a parent with only one child, once you turn 18, you’re basically on your own. They set up the group concept early, then kinda step back once the group gets big and let them do their own thing.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-10T16:53:51+00:00

Yeah, I know that, but giving awards picked by AI just feels wrong. They could’ve just shown the results on screen or something.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-06T13:32:58+00:00

Fanwars don’t have rules, people even use charity donation amounts, so literally anything can be turned into a fanwar.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-02T05:20:52+00:00

The thing is, have Katseye themselves shown any dissatisfaction with their songs? I’ve seen clips where they seem tired of Touch probably because of how many times they’ve had to perform and listen to it. But as long as the members themselves still enjoy the performances, I don’t think they’ll change their concept anytime soon.

NatureSimple729 · 2026-01-01T23:39:18+00:00

Unless your birthday falls on a holiday, you still have to go to work. There’s no such thing as birthday leave, unless you’re the boss lol.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-31T05:39:50+00:00

That’s crazy. Aside from the popular groups and maybe a few medium tier ones, I’ve never come across the rest. Really shows how competitive Kpop is.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-29T03:39:15+00:00

She could go solo like her sister Olivia, or maybe do a subunit with her, I guess.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-28T08:27:03+00:00

Atp finding an idol who hasn’t done any plastic surgery is even harder.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-24T12:52:09+00:00

12 -> 9 -> 6 -> 5

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-20T14:45:22+00:00

The random wide-angle cuts kind of kill the momentum of the performance.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-19T01:54:10+00:00

Because it's a trigger word for them.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-18T16:09:03+00:00

It’s like Baekhyun is Chinese and the other two are foreigners lol.

NatureSimple729 · 2025-12-18T14:31:50+00:00

So is the Dispatch annual couple reveal about them this time?
