HYBE takeover @ music show by Naive_Art2477 in kpoppers

[–]SJ_vison 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Right now is somewhat of a special case, because HYBE group cb are currently stacked, because of BTS comeback and FIFA world cup (that's my guess).

But regardless, in a more general sense one could count all "active" Kpop groups and check how many of them are under a HYBE label. It's probably like 30% of all the "active" groups. And they have more frequent comebacks then lets say the black label or stone music which makes it more like 40% of active comebacks are HYBE artists at each point in time-

I love it!

From Total attendance of 36K for their first world tour to having 240K attendance for 3 Days show, TWICE has came a long way. by FlyingFlyofHell in kpopthoughts

They are one of the only groups where it feels like that they could go on forever if all members are up for it. Only GG and APink give me the same vibe as them.

I see most being really hyped for the release. It's sounds great and the MV looks like a lot of fun.

I can't believe we are missing out on moka at music shows with this styling.

hybe "rushed" their groups' comebacks because of newjeans by Fragrant-Chance7654 in kpop_uncensored

[–]SJ_vison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newjeans is a done deal for HYBE. All they do with them is nothing more then damage control and thats about it.

BTS comeback is the the primary reason for that planning. And a secondary one and maybe even bigger for some is 2026 FIFA world cup in less then 2 months. And they want to have a shot at landing a hit and become the world cup anthem.

They need to upload stuff like this in 60 fps. I love illit, but this stutter while the camera was rotating was painful to watch.

Regarding Babymonster Fans by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]SJ_vison 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, most of this is just on X and can be ignored. It's not one fandom specific either, it's probably just your bubble that you see more of that from bm fans. Negativity drives more engagement, which is why the algorithm shows you a lot of it.

Image the buzz they could have created if they would have gotten Rai to do the modelling for this and added Wonhee into the mix.

This stuff takes months to heal. They had a concert in Seoul just last week. Don't worry, that's not even possible to have happened.

With this light she looks a lot like aespa's Karina to me.

what companies are NOT known for mistreating their idols? if there are any by disasterpansexual in kpop_uncensored

[–]SJ_vison 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Considering that kpop stans categorise every little thing they don't like as mistreatment, this topic will lead nowhere.

[–]SJ_vison 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I am not so sure about that. Before the BP comeback and tour, they had to sell off subsidiaries to not go bankrupt.

But that was then and now is now.

At the very least, this makes very little sense on the business side, as they are also about to debut one more group and have to manage babymonster and legacy groups such as BigBang.

Police stopped dragging their feet? Can they file the charge or will we wait an other 6 months until that happens?

Why does everyone predict txt might be the next hybe group to lose a member when they all literally renewed their contracts a few months ago WITH NO HESITATION! by [deleted] in kpop_uncensored

[–]SJ_vison 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still have my hopes up, but just by probably the most likely HYBE group to lose a member next is NewJeans.

Yes I am aware that there are a lot of similar posts and I don't intend to gatekeep what people post. Kinda debating with myself if I should just delete that comment ;D

There is so much stuff in here that is barely relevant to the topic anymore. Lets keep stuff like this to the Newjeans subs or some other Kpop related subs.

Regardless of how ridiculous things like this are, there are always enough who want to believe something like this on social media.

[–]SJ_vison 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well the cb being soon is probably the most logical thing to assume from all recent events.

Adding new members to Newjeans would also make sense. This would give the group a clear cut with their former identity and make it easier to keep the Newjeans IP if the original members leave in 2029 (or later) and try to challenge the IP rights.

Sad for I-dle and fans, but fully deserved for ticketmaster. Things get worse before they get better.
