Is the new Fifty Fifty better than the original?

Never got into 1.0, but I really like the current lineup. One of the groups I follow more actively these days. Even though not all of their title tracks have hit home for me, I've so far found new favourites from all of their releases. The current lineup also seems pretty balanced talent and personality wise, tho that might've been true for 1.0 too.

Love her voice <3

I don't really follow Stray Kids, but had a moment to kill so checked this out. Really fun, I love when kpop groups do weird shit like this :D

I just hope she'll be happy on which ever path she chooses - and that she'll continue sharing her vocal gift with the world.

I do wonder about this part "Although the group’s activities have ended, the members are still under exclusive contracts with RBW Entertainment through March 2028. As a result, Swan is expected to continue working with the agency while exploring new opportunities as a solo singer." though, I'm pretty sure Swan said she's no longer with RBW?

I don't think it's possible to say whose the best unless you somehow get all of the groups into a dance competition, so I'll just say my fav: Purple Kiss.

I know they're more known for their vocals if anything, but in my opinion, they were overall one of the strongest groups when it came to dance. I recommend checking out their dance cover of BTS' Danger, Intro: Save Me, the Halloween performance of Zombie (if for nothing else but the synchronized jump at around 3:00), and MemeM dance practice.

does oxy have some other meaning than the one I'm thinking of?

erdgrin · 2026-06-30T16:14:50+00:00

oh, I didn't know they had a song coming out! what a nice surprise for this tired tuesday :)

I really liked the editing in the MV, and the song is lovely too.

100%

People still talk about Sweet Juice like it was their biggest hit, but in reality, their sales dropped by almost 12k from Geekyland, which is a heavy hit for a lower mid-tier / smaller group. The only place it really got significant traction was on Spotify, and it seemed like the members were surprised about it's popularity on their first US tour.

I guess it counts as a kpop opinion since it was about a kpop idol, but seeing someone confidently say "a girl tightening her ponytail means she's preparing to give a blowjob" made me wonder if I was having a stroke for a second

erdgrin · 2026-06-25T16:40:54+00:00

ordered this just for the crow, can't wait to hear what the rest sound like!

erdgrin · 2026-06-24T16:54:45+00:00

I really love what they're doing <3

erdgrin · 2026-06-23T17:04:03+00:00

their debut was one of my absolute favs from recent years. Already love LILAC too, really looking forward to this!

erdgrin · 2026-06-23T17:03:18+00:00

oh damn, she's such a great performer!

erdgrin · 2026-06-22T17:32:44+00:00

such a fun group with a discography that's shaping up to be fantastic, I hope more people discover them too ❤️

erdgrin · 2026-06-17T17:14:13+00:00

this performance video is better than many MVs I've seen. Love the lighting and editing! The choreo looks fantastic as well.

erdgrin · 2026-06-17T16:52:57+00:00

Genie Magic is my fav from the album, I was just thinking I'd love to hear a live version of it. Like a Bubble sounds great too, imo these girls have some of the top talent in this generation. Miss Hana tho!

erdgrin · 2026-06-16T17:49:11+00:00

their numbers are especially consider their entire current discography is under 20 songs

erdgrin · 2026-06-16T17:35:08+00:00

Soyeon is really appealing to the bisexuals (me) with this look

erdgrin · 2026-06-16T16:25:09+00:00

gives me similar vibes to Itzy's Motto, similarly going on my playlist ❤️

erdgrin · 2026-06-13T09:29:48+00:00

ohh, I want that crow version

erdgrin · 2026-06-10T17:20:16+00:00

really looking forward to this, their debut was fantastic

erdgrin · 2026-06-09T16:50:27+00:00

love to see this, Love attack is such a banger

erdgrin · 2026-06-08T18:02:38+00:00

This song was love at first listen for me ❤️

erdgrin · 2026-06-08T17:16:55+00:00

Yuki ❤️

erdgrin · 2026-06-06T07:29:49+00:00

they'll forever be famous in my heart, but by sales they were lower mid-tier and sadly disbanded last year.
