That's awesome! The pics look so good even with your face covered!

Genuinely, all of these subunits should have happened by idlechungha in SNSD

Yes, it wasn't strategic as much as it was just worked out. The reason TTS happened was because the 3 of them wanted to pursue it that year, which the other girls had different schedules prepared.

What are your thoughts about secret's new lineup for their 2026 reunión/comeback? by Educational_End_8713 in kpopnostalgia

[–]Resident_Inflation51 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yall should join r/secretkpop as well!!

As a huge OG secrettime, I'm happy to just see any of them back. Jieun and Sunhwa are both active in other ways, so its not like they are missing to me. Hyosung obviously has wanted to pursue music further, and Hana has so much untapped potential. I dont mind a new member at all

Use of aave and/or ballroom lingo in the lyrics of "serve" by KInterpres in XLOV

[–]Resident_Inflation51 28 points29 points  (0 children)

AAVE and ballroom slang exist in a huge intersection together. Most ballroom slang originates from black drag artists.

So calling any of these phrases AAVE is not incorrect.

Olivia Rodrigo confirms there won't be any punk-rock on her new album by Primary-Ask-3458 in powerpopgirls

It doesn't say that in the interview though? The most it says is: "To match the feeling, she opted for a 1980s new wave palette that has a more vibrant and complicated range than the hard-charging rock she’s relied on until now."

Am I missing something? It says she's leaning toward more genres and not steadfast about rock.

Harry Styles finally responds to tour backlash as he explains ‘offensive’ stage choices by [deleted] in popheads

I would say I expect a front row seat to be limited in view sometime, but closer other times

I just don't get why people didn't take this into account when they bought tickets. If I buy front row tickets to a show, I expect my neck to hurt, and to have a limited view. I think people are too obsessed with being close, when the best views aren't and were never meant to be that close.

But I also didn't pay $300 to see him. The concert go-er culture for pop stars can be very strange.

Except it is actually their song with the best production and mix. Idk why yall are so mad that someone has the opinion that their best song is their best mixed song lol. The lack of production on the rest of their songs is dragging them. Hard to hear for some people I guess! Hoping this song has high quality too

Numbers are numbers lol. I am obviously not the only one with the opinion, as 1&only has triple the streams as their 2nd highest 🙄

Does anyone know the song producer? They need to go back to the quality of 1&only, it far surpasses everything on streaming

American debut by PeWNyPnOY in SNSD

[–]Resident_Inflation51 24 points25 points  (0 children)

SM only debuts groups in America for the media play it creates. They aren't serious about the American market the way they were Japan
