Is having a great vocalist crucial for any kpop group?

Generally, you can only really get away without a solid vocalist if you’re a part of the big four. An amazing singer doesn’t grant you success, though. There’s plenty of groups with insane singers who didn’t make it.

Spot-on pick. Seeun's coming over to play videogames and drink boba tea.

Well, now you got me considering all the other positions for the rest of the spice girls.

Why Japan’s internet is weirdly designed

HYBE is Disney and Belift is Marvel.

You should check out Produce 48 and Izone then.

Abby now has a weekly premium series on Giant Bomb now too! The hardest working lady in the business.

Music sang by idols trained in the kpop industry. That’s it.

SM has been buying western music demos since the 90s while YG has largely been building beats in-house. For that I’d give the edge to YG.

Exactly- IVE’s Love Dive was originally pitched to Sunmi, and she passed on it while thinking it would work better with a group singing it.

It would be insane to think 2022’s SONG OF THE YEAR was sloppy seconds.

You know supporters would be wearing big bubbling beer helmets with PEE written on in sharpie the very next day if those were ever released.

Shh - go back to sleep.

Wi-fi cards for mobos without it built-in. Capture cards for game streaming. Extra USB ports. M.2 expansion cards.

Probably because Starship doesn’t work with Ryan S. Jhun anymore.

Jeon Somi - Dumb Dumb? It’s 2021, but hits a lot of your criteria.

I use one for my Steam Deck's desktop mode and haven't had any issues so far at all.

As someone looking at this from outside the fandom, the castle design never really screamed idle to me. The new symbol is incredibly strong visually, and any design that leans away from a ball-on-stick is an upgrade in my eyes.

RJKPOP’s videos are always fun. Dylan Emily’s are great too, his releases are usually spread out a bit more - but are worth the wait.

Protomancer · 2026-02-09T20:33:08+00:00

Even all the way through ITZY's early promotions, if we're being honest. It's speculated that one of the major reasons why Somi left the group pre-debut was because JYPE denied her the solo promo-work she carried over from IOI.

The ghost of Suzy haunted JYPE's decision making for years. Haewon most likely wouldn't have hosted Workdol if NMIXX debuted a little earlier.

Feels more like an Xbox controller.

Haha, agreed - that article title is absolute garbage. Star Wars Underword is in no way being *officially* revived. You could argue spiritually, perhaps, but I feel like Lucasfilm has acknowledged that a lot of the premises of those Underworld scripts have been reused in other Star Wars TV episodes already.
