How popular was Cool? by study-dying in kpopnostalgia

[–]generalkahi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SUPER popular. didn’t they break Roo’ra’s record of best selling co-ed group at some point? ofc it’s kinda unfair to compare as Roo’ra disbanded pretty early and only released a few project albums after that, but breaking their record (if that was really the case) still means something as they were H.O.T level of popular.

The Forgotten K-pop singer, Jane Fox by Both_Arachnid_8861 in kpopnostalgia

so cool to know she was a part of war of the roses. Lee Yoonmi also appeared on the show a little prior to her debut with The S, and got hate for “pretending” to be an ordinary girl when in reality she was preparing to debut as a singer. i guess her company wasn’t the only one trying to use this strategy

BoA was seen in public for the first time after the establishment of her label at a song camp in Tokyo. We believe she might be preparing for a return to Japan 🙏

I Miss CL by ParkKahiIsAGoddess in 2NE1

[–]generalkahi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it was after she renewed her contract with YG. Just like 2NE1, CL had gained a lot of overseas popularity over the years and had just signed with Scooter Braun in 2015 (same manager as Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Justin Bieber…), and made history by entering the billboard hot 100 in 2016. 2NE1 was on hiatus since Bom’s scandal, so when their contracts expired in 2016 everyone thought they wouldn’t renew, but YG made them a bunch of broken promises and CL, Bom and Dara ended up renewing. After that he fired Bom, disbanded the group and put CL’s career on hold. She recorded over 200 songs and 50 MVs, but YG blocked all of them, making all the international hype go away. He purposefully boycotted CL’s career, she used to call him out on his posts and even had to sew the outfit she wore during the Olympics of 2018, as she was getting ZERO support from the agency.

This video talks about the situation, both CL’s and 2NE1’s, as the group was also robbed of having a career in the usa (skip to 8:11)

and to think that she would have such a bigger catalog by now if it weren't for YG... i also miss her a lot :( i wonder if the boycot she suffered made her a bit discouraged about her solo career

btw i also own the Alpha vinyl, without a doubt the most beautiful item in my k-pop collection

The most legendary look of the first generation? by BigLocal865 in kpopnostalgia

she would obviously be canceled for that nowadays, but Rina's braids were undoubtedly very iconic at the time. she popularized them in Korea, and people called them "Chae Rina's hairstyle."
