I'm not a fan, it's really awkward and not up to the level I expect from her and BEG in general. Really disappointed.
what am I watching

Damn I'm at work...
Miryo release... what a tragedy. Couldn't even finish it.
Woah, this is awful. *subscribes*
And that's brings me to SHINee's repackage teasers:
Woah, this is awful. *subscribes*
You are missing the point, he is talking about how do they use the word comeback in general. Like, it doesn't make sense calling a comeback when the group has released something a couple of months ago.
And that's brings me to SHINee's repackage teasers:
4 new tracks, will they improve the already AOTY countender release that was Odd? We'll see...
I'm not missing the point
English has taken heaps of words from other languages and appropriated them while changing their meanings - it happens in all languages. Korean is no different and the words they've appropriated from English, like comeback, "some", service etc etc are Korean words now with their own meaning.I really don't like it tho. I want the more alternative/rock stuff. If this is their comeback song then smh.
Sorry, I didn't get that from your post.I'm not missing the point
You should still change your avatar
Awful.
I wish Narsha would release something new, she's long overdue a comeback. At least we're getting new BEG soon.

Listening to non-lead tracks from recent releases.
Pink Memory has a good amount of quality on it. I Do has a key change that is much more natural than the one in Remember. Overall Namjoo has more lines than she did before and that's great because she was severely underrated as a singer.
GFRIEND album is... no.
Girl's Day opening track With Me should have been their promo. It's really good and way more in line with their best performance styles. Ring My Bell is junk. 마카롱 also could have been good but maybe too close to Darling despite having a very different mood. The new songs have fantastic production that is flaunting the shit out of the money they have these days. Not a fan of slapping an old mini and singles on a mini and calling it the next full album release, but whatever.
Hello Venus has taken on a strange identity. Half the most generic dance crap nobody else wanted from Brave Bros, half the only group willing to fully embrace this experimentation with early 90s styles he seems to be playing with lately. Show Window is legit, at least.
Nine Muses has done pretty well on their mini in terms of cool music, but I am not fully in favor of it being so music-forward in the mix. I mean in one sense I can see it can cover for a weakness of charisma or vocal power in the new members while also encouraging them to step up to the power the music is bringing itself, but just as a shift from prior albums it's a really apparent flip of priorities and I really enjoyed what they were doing before. Yes or No comes close but it's effects-heavy in a way that still swallows them up.
Sonamoo... HYSS LIKE A KOO SHUN LIKE A KOO SHUN! Why did I just put that in my head again? ...I don't think I'll ever love this song, but its earworm status can't be denied. I do really like the synth they chose for the chorus. The rest is a real mixed bag, but TS not knowing what to do with their groups isn't new. I will give them credit that they never seem to halfass their ideas. They have strong production capacity and always go 100% for better or worse. I have often felt they pick the wrong track for promotions, but in this case I think they made the right call. I feel it let them claim some distinctly boyband-type method of mixing power and cuteness that no other girl group has gone for and it really gave their stage a unique flavor with a refreshing energy.

Some sort of Stellar documentary series is due to start on August 8. Could be interesting.
It's pretty much the opposite for me. While I do think the album tracks on Pink Memory are an improvement on Remember, I'm just not feeling it for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on why that is yet. I've really been enjoying Gfriend's mini though.

FNC is really pushing this song hard.
Dance practice video, now with extra eye contact!

doesnt eye contact ver existed for most of their releases?
Sure but including the member specific versions that's 10 different "music video" versions they've released for Heart Attack so far.
Not complaining tho, no one needs to defend lol.
Tell me about it, I haven't liked her hair in years. She's maintained this horrible pissy yellow colour for too long and now it's short. Sooyoung's short hair is nice but this cut doesn't suit Hyo. Oh well, we'll always have The Boys glory days.
I loved her Gee era where she had dark hair and tan skin but too many sones said she was ugly so she started lightening her skin and now she looks white. Thanks sones.

That doesn't sound good. That sounds fucking phenomenal. Oh mah goodness...
So they went all-in on the 80s basic electronic sound, huh. Particularly that generic 80s electronic drum machine sound. Some tracks sound pretty good, but after those killer solo instrument teasers, I feel like I've been bamboozled.

GIVE IT TO ME!!!
IN MY VEINS!!
NOW!
My god... this might be the best album of the fncking year, if not the GOAT.
My only complaint, and most likely YouTube has something to do with this... it needs a tape filter stat! It's gonna sound even more amazing with a tape filter and you can hear that hiss and pops.
I pray to God no one posts a thread on off-topic on how this album is going to save k-pop.
Someone probably will

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Wonder Girls so good. This is one of the things I love about k-pop and it's concept/gimmick nature. They can just take any idea and push it to the limits going full in without reservations.
I will take the throwback with crispy clear production, thank you.
Random haters that shitpost on off topic shouldn't ruin the fun for everyone else.

No ideq what would be the problem. I'm all in for quality music getting all the exposure it can. Most of us got into kpop by "accident" anyway.

4Minute still proving they are the queens of idol mukbang. Fuck the food they made looked pretty damn tasty, in Ep2 of their new variety. The whole segment of Jihyun's shitty stew made me crack up pretty hard. Was cringing pretty hard at how Jiyoon kept putting her feet right next to their celebratory cake though. Come on girl.
EXID Showtime Ep3 is goddamn glorious too. Nothing like a girl group facing off in the arcade haha. Solji is damn LEGIT at dancing games.

But it wouldn't sound legitimately 80's!
Lol kidding aside, I think it's a personal preference. I'm in love with retro sound so the closer I can get to retro sound, the better it is for me at least.
But yeah, can we summon EatChildren in those shit threads? Maybe some Jisook will be enough to lure him lol.
This might be the second album I buy this year if it delivers which I'm sure it will
This sounds pretty tasty!

Rare footage of Irene going in for the kill
I wonder what Joys neck smells like.
How the fuck did you manage to get so much wrong in a 2 line post?! First of all, I laugh at your attempted dig at SNSD being that they are the vanilla ice cream of kpop... It's absolutely true, but there is a reason why vanilla ice cream is the vanilla ice cream of ice cream. The essential playlist wasn't made to be edgy. Song like Genie and Gee are the milkshake that brought the boys to the yard, timeless classics. This thread even started out as an SNSD thread back in the day. Some classless tattooed rebellious pleb such as yourself could never understand the greatness that is SNSD. Back to to being serious though, I wouldn't mind seeing Hoot get replaced though, that joke has run long enough now.
Secondly, the only acceptable alternative to News is Wild (maybe Ticket if I'm being generous). Hurt Locker is great, even one of their best, but Wild is on another level, and News on another level of that again. Thirdly, Bang is barely top 10 AS. There is a reason Because of You is the only AS song to win music shows, it's their best song.
Why their other songs, especially greats like Ah, Shampoo and Flashback, didn't win, is a question for the ages however.
1. One Love
2. Clara's Dream (it's so good that it counts despite being Lizzy solo)
3. Shanghai Romance
4. Aing
5. Lipstick
This is a great idea.
Guess I'm in the minority but I kinda like it. better than Dirty at least. But how I wish it was another Leggo though. This is what you get when you have Gain featuring instead of Narsha I guess.
Reminds me of Crayon Pops debut.
Holy fucking shit that is awful.
Not sure if I already mentioned this, but 9M mini sucked. Not a single good song aside from Hurt Locker, which at least was amazing though.
Very promising. Especially hyped for Loved and One Black Night.

Finally checking out EXID showtime. Pretty silly like you guys said, just started the third episode and.... did they seriously not edit out Solji's panty shot. Like... it was one of those slow down scene transition moments and you could see everything lol. Pretty sure anime panty shots are not as clear as this was haha.

Edit. That one screenshot they put up of LE playing Diablo III. Witch Doctor or Wizard? I saw the blue mana orb.
