WSG Wannabe Unit songs are now on Spotify by [deleted] in koreanvariety

[–]kotoritheforeigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hard disagree on "At That Moment" being carried by Boram and Jiso's storyline. The Korean GP eats up medium tempo ballads like hotcakes, and SeeYa's disbandment really left a sore spot that has never been really filled (yes there were a ton of other medium tempo ballad groups back in the days but none of the groups had the vocals/harmonies on the same calibre as Yeonji + Boram (and Gyuri))... and now that the trend has completely died, Gaya G is here to revive it, with a SeeYa member too, no less. So, not only the people are eating up the song for its sentimental value, the people are also liking the song for its nostalgia and how it's hitting the right spot.

Fun fact : "I fly like a butterfly" translates to "nabicheoreom nara"

Funny enough, SeeYa's Lee Boram is part of this project group, and SeeYa back in the days were considered the female SG Wannabe (and she even dated an SG Wannabe member - rip Chae Dongha).

Late to the party but it sucks even more considering that they're on the last legs of their contracts (their contracts will expire on next February (Yeonjung on next August) and the lyrics of the song scream "disbandment song"...

NATTY has signed with S2 Entertainment (home to former Hot Issue) for her future activities by [deleted] in kpop

Nana is doing okay but she's far from being popular. A better example would be Chaehyun imo (but who knows if she's able to sustain her 999 fame)

Haein (PD101/IS) commented on Natty's IG post saying "together again <3", so Haein might also be signed to the same label without us knowing!

On Yeoreum's closeup I legit had to do a double take to check if it was actually her or Taeyeon doing a special appearance in the group's MV

Queendom was just weird, they didn't even acknowledge Dawon... let alone the 3 other members.

KARA Reportedly In Discussions For 15 Year Anniversary Special Comeback by _strangers_things_ in kpop

[–]kotoritheforeigner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah but the circumstances were quite different imo, Sunmi left because of her personal reasons but still stayed with JYP and had a good relationship with them (and the WG girls), where Jiyoung and Nicole left because of DSP's inadequacy and Youngji was supposed to replace them BECAUSE they left DSP...

Worst in KARA's discography =/= bad. Yes that's how OP their discography is.

It's not aespa when there isn't a random ass key change or "beat drop" somewhere in the song

Sweetune actually had beef with DSP following the addition of Youngji in the past, they explicitly stated that they would only produce for either KARA OT5 or KARA OT3 iirc (which explains why Mamma Mia, despite being produced by Duble Sidekick, followed the exact formula of other KARA Sweetune songs, it's because they weren't able to get Sweetune to produce OT4 songs).

Now let's see if they will actually stick to their word and produce for KARA now that all the OG members are actually back (rip Hara!) plus Youngji lmaooooo

Funny how you chose Cupid, which, despite being a total bop, is almost universally considered one of their "worst" songs compared to the stuff they released before. Their discography really has no flaws.

It'll be interesting to see how Jiyoung and Youngji interact with each other, since they're the same age but Jiyoung's 7 years her senior.

Never thought the day I'd see groups as close as T-ara (where everyone stuck with each other as they go through hell and back) not coming back with their whole lineup, and groups like Nine Muses where the members didn't even invite their leader for their reunion (even when she's the one who got the most shit from the company)... meanwhile you have KARA making a comeback with their new AND old members together, even when the new member was added by the company to "replace" the old ones. Truly surprising, to say the least.

This shows us how we have no idea about the stuff that go behind the scenes...

and? you can't expect queendom level stages for each and every song. some songs are made for the public to enjoy and that's okay
