TripleS - Kpop Deep Dive!

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

I want to thank all of the WAVs for giving extra context to the use of the S numbers in tripleS! It's something pretty daunting to a new listener that's learning a lot about them in a relatively short amount of time, and I'm glad to hear that the use of the numbers are rare. However, it hasn't changed my perspective on how I've noticed people using them and I hope more fans can hold each other accountable and call out behavior they don't agree with. Using numbers to refer to people should never be okay and names should be prioritized, that should go without saying. Also (spoiler alert) even though we may not totally be into their music now, we may grow into it later! Taste in music is constantly changing from person to person, so if we revisit tripleS in the future it may be a better watch for diehard fans, hope to see y'all again! -therese

[@vergil8833]

Regarding the numbers I think you have to jump through quite alot of mental gymnastics to make it anything even close to an issue of misogyny. It's very common in asian schools to be associated with a number in class, it makes your tests anonymous to everyone but the teacher. Alot of bad faith is needed to twist it into something sinister. Theres not a single fan out there who does not know them for their names, but only numbers. I don't think anyone who hasn't been watching their daily vlogs since the beginning knew their numbers before their names. Learning their names is easier than learning the order of which they joined the group. The whole numbers thing is given way too much attention here, it's basically just lore and a visual quirk for reality shows and merch.

[@8ligh7]

Trying to make an issue out of THAT specific aspect of the group truly is one of the most bizarre things I've seen from someone reacting to tripleS and K-Pop in general. Having a known established order whether its represented through numbers or something else is a common thing larger groups use, as it's handy for organizational and managerial purposes. It just so happens that tripleS has it as a part of their conceptual image as Jaden, the Modhaus CEO/Producer/Creative Director is a lore otaku and likes to add conceptual details and elements to groups he had taken a central part in creating. The fact that they interpreted it as some sort of malicious misogynistic element to the group makes me just think theres something wrong with them.

[@RobFM50]

I agree with you since the only people who know the numbers are fans who already know the names, and who the numbers belong to. It's very much like stans who refer to their favs via their Emoji. It's also tied to the lore how each member is a Node within the Dijkstra Algorithm and also why they won't really have fixed subunits like NCT

[@E.Bashmak]

@@RobFM50 Well, technically Modhaus never specified that 100k sales deal was only for AAA and KR, so we might now have a permanent sub-unit going further (VV)

[@choerry_pies]

idk who said that none of the acid angel members arent good enough singers to hit those notes cuz that is obviously not true 😭 hyerins charla highnote, and nakyoung has covered dahyuns highnotes in girls never die and there are so many moments where they have showed off their vocals

[@RobFM50]

It's almost like the producers decided they wanted as specific color in that part and a gifted vocal adlib fit the bill they were looking for, but I"m just thinking about creative license

[@BinSensei94]

tripleS’ variety content are on another level compared to other groups imo. That’s the advantage of having 24 members~ 🔥

[@vergil8833]

Yeah I really don't understand the idea that TripleS is "just about the music" and "basically just a Jaden Jeong playground". TripleS is one of the most parasocially engaging idol groups there is, in a good way. They have so much content and an unmatched amount of dynamics.

[@irin_inthemood]

TripleS's music is so good! Thank you for the reaction :)

[@yangsrightarm3767]

Thanks for reacting to tripleS! Also, and I'm saying this as a woman lol, the way that they use numbers is genuinely not weird like in the context of the group it is not bad, I get why it might come across that way but they rarely use the numbers and usually it's alongside their names e.g 'I'm S1 Seoyeon! When the girls were getting announced there was a lot of speculation over who the next S was, and because we didn't know their names, we'd use the number e.g 'who do you think S5 will be?' kinda thing. The numbers are sometimes still used as shorthand but all WAV's know the girls names and will use them 90% of the time, and the girls only refer to each other by numbers very occasionally as a joke. Just wanted to clear it up as I feel it was getting mischaracterised and I do get how it could come across that way! There are a couple of things I don't like about the tripleS concept but the numbers aren't one of them and I don't think there's any sort of sexist undertones to it at all.

[@raquelmendez3189]

i agreee they were taking it too far with the numbers as if it was a bad thing, but man they are 24 and sometimes is easier for the staff to count in numbers, even tho they know their names, the members are ok, unlike the girl in the comments said, the girs just see number as their history, for example for s1 soyeon, 1 is more than a number, even for the 24 member jiyeon, and is not objectifiying nobody, when they say their names they say the number easy as that, 10 dahyun, or s17 lynn, and some times in shows or interviews they just say their number if they want and belive me most of them do, the company and the fans are ok with it, and is a way to represent triple S itseflf. and thats why there are so many members that are close with the number or member above or below, for example, kaede is s9 and dahyun s10 andtheir are besties, or jiwoo s3 and chaeyeon s4 are soulmates, just as that, and that solves why they are nice to each other cause they had the time to adapt to each in the order they were revealed, the numbers,

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

I really appreciate your ally-ship but I still have to disagree. I totally recognize I wasn't part of the fan culture when they were doing announcements and hyping up new members. In fact, there are going to be more people interested in the group just like us that try to check out their content and then get turned off by people using numbers instead of names. I'm glad to hear from fans that the use of the numbers is dwindling or rare, I just had to say something because some people in chat were using numbers when we would ask about the girls individually and that did not feel right at all. It was never meant to be about sexist undertones, truthfully I'd feel the same way if it was a boy group. I just had to stand against it and when it felt like I wasn't getting support for myself (and still doesn't apparently) the tone switched. I think all kpop fans need to hold each other accountable more often because the fan culture can get to you and normalize things that would absolutely not be okay out of context. -therese

[@yangsrightarm3767]

@@AudioAddictionmedia Fair enough, and I admire your resoluteness on this haha, I can definitely see where you are coming from and people in chat should have have just used their names (and whoever said only 12 of them were talented was just not it…). Still I hold to my opinion that it’s not really a big deal given the context and in the grand scheme of things to worry about in kpop this is at the bottom for me haha and I think coming at it from a sexism angle was just a little frustrating to me when I don’t think that’s applicable here and I’m happy you clarified that. Still I do appreciate your thoughts on this and I hope this doesn’t come across as us dogpiling you or anything! It’s a perfectly valid opinion to have lol (some people do use s numbers too much) and thanks again for reacting. No music is for everyone and Id rather reactors be honest about it, I loved hearing all your thoughts about the production and how in depth you got, it was super interesting to someone who doesn’t know much about that kinda thing

[@raquelmendez3189]

@@AudioAddictionmedia i respect your opinion and i agree it was disrespectful to just say the number instead of the name when u guys asked, but i just wanted to point out the reason why they exist u know, the important thing is how to use them and in which place and people. And i liked the reaction cause it was real and not for the video only, but i kinda afree with alex in the thing of going through all the songs all at once maybe changes the impressions but it was great tho, and i agree in the thing that if u dont know a group the reaction is more "real" and is more about the music. I just hope in the future projects of triples guys can enjoy music. And I want to add that when a song is supposed to sound in a way is cause of the visuin that maybe the pd had,or something new they want to try like ballads Christian girl horse music. But again thanks for keeping it real in what u guys like.

[@dreamingha]

They seem to have a stereotype before they watch the video.

[@bricks3422]

I feel like chat was both helpful and also not in this one 😅. A lot of people have opinions ofc on the ethicality of tripleS’… existence really, but most of what people know is what’s circulating the internet, beyond the confines of the fandom and what’s really true. The NFT thing is its own debate that extends a lot farther than just modhaus & their groups. All I know is that modhaus uses a blockchain that was made with environmental conscientiousness, so the ownership of an nft, environmental impact wise, is about equivalent to me leaving this long af comment. The key I suppose here, is not buying them by the hundreds like I know some people probably are. Money wise, the girls make a lot yes. And the sales of individual “objekts” do go to the girl specifically, but individual card sales are only open for a day-ish before the sales combine into two 12-member randomized selections. So you pick A or B and you get a random girl’s card out of the 12 members in that selection. Plus it’s known that the most popular member, Yooyeon, got a big fat paycheck, and the first thing she did was take everyone in the group out to dinner. The S numbers. The girls were introduced individually like Loona until NXT (S17-20). So we started with one, and then we got a teaser that introduced“S2” before she joined their vlog series. And so on. From my understanding, this means some girls attribute a bit of meaning behind the numbers because it’s who joined when. so some girls know every member’s number and some may not. Yooyeon for example has been put on the spot many times because she has no clue. She doesn’t know who S17 is, she just knows Lynn. The only time I’ve seen the girls referred to by just their numbers is when they’re doing roll call, or the editing team for their variety decides to use the number like a nickname in on screen captions: “S7 can’t cook to save her life” or whatever snippet they throw in. Never seen the girls do that themselves while speaking tho. Anyways, I hope that eases your worries a little bit. It’s really not as harsh or unfair as people think. The company does, in fact, think about all of this & Modhaus is one of the fastest companies I’ve ever seen when it comes to responding to backlash and protecting/defending their artists so, I have to give them some credits. Anyways, I enjoyed the video a lot and hope you guys continue to give their music a chance in the future. Have a wonderful day! ❤

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

Thank you for your thoughts! However, personally I don't think any amount of further explanation could make me less disgusted by the numbers. I realize there's a tendency to refer to members in kpop by their personality types or even animal emojis which is cute in its own regard but in an industry that already struggles with humanizing their artists assigning them actual numbers is just gross. They could have assigned them animal companions, nicknames, colors, literally anything but in the context of world history they gave them numbers and continue to refer to them with those?? even role calls can be done with names, it's just tone deaf -therese

[@rinmeikan6229]

@@AudioAddictionmedia I understand where u are coming from but for me personally I see nothing wrong by referring to the members as numbers. For me who has trouble remembering names to the point that I even forget my family/friends names often it's really helpful but after awhile I remember their names more rather their assigned number. Second it's really helpful for their manager/s to keep track of each individual member and use their assigned number for counting, yeah they could say their names but it's much more faster and they only mostly use it for counting really. I recommend looking into the show Omniscient Interfering View EP.307 where the story revolves around their manager and how they have to be very strict about counting as they have to be because there are still a lot of minors. I've been following tripleS for 2 years and I've never seen anyone brought up the number system thing while I still see nothing wrong with it. I can see how people approach things differently. Great reaction and deep dive btw, u guys are good!

[@Purplecatcher]

​@AudioAddictionmedia i know where u are coming from but pls understand that tripleS is not assigning numbers to classify them as more or less, is literally the order they were revealed and nothing more. They do that as a fun thing none of the members and fans take that as a bitter thing (neither the company makes it a bitter thing nor a competition) s1 will always be s1 and the girls all respect her, cause even if there weren't numbers, she would still be the first you cant avoid it, they came in an order so even without the "number" would still be an order and nothing more, youre just thinking too much out of a thing that is nothing really

@@rinmeikan6229 I think Theresa sees it from a different perspective, I like her criticism but it has to be answered.. it's true that the numbering is only based on the order the members are introduced.. did anyone tell them that they were introduced at least one at a time? until next and glow are exceptions (because I think they are chasing a schedule to get full member songs once a year or other reasons that I don't know) there are many advantages to this numbering, one of which is in variety show games, they are sometimes separated based on odd and even, to check the completeness of members Every time you go, it's very profitable, believe me, it's harder to memorize numbers than names... and I think S here is a manifestation of the group name SSS stands for Social Sonyo Seoul, triple S

[@Black3ight]

at 13:40 when you read the comment about the craziest voting being on if the members could speak their opinions on the votings etc. Just want to clarify that they said their opinions and such after the votings were finished in order not to influence the votings. Cause if say a member say she would want song A or song G in a song voting, then allot of fans would likely vote for said songs. And so that itself was put to a vote, if the members should be able to speak their mind during the votings or not.

[@vergil8833]

Seems to have been alot of negative preconceptions about this group, I didn't realize it existed, I don't know how anyone could listen to Generation and come away with the opinion of "What am I supposed to like here?". It's like everything about the group is immediatebly viewed with the most negative interpretation as possible, like with the voting aspect, and S codes, and pre-debut adlibs, and so on. Luckily much of it was dropped as the video progressed, but to begin with it really gives the vibe of snobbery. Which is an interesting thing regarding the reviewing process for music like this. Back in the day we used to call it YG/SM snobbery since "easy listening" songs got alot of flack for not "doing more" like the 3rd chorus switch up YG loves to do or all the weirdness SM likes. That stuff is a reviewers dream because it is interesting for a first listen experience, theres alot to talk about, but people still put on the likes of BTS and Newjeans on repeat, which you touch on aswell. I just think some need to keep that in mind in order to avoid an air of snobbery. Regarding the chat, some must be new or not very into the group because thinking that theres filler members is something you only think before you get to know them all. There are older members and theres newer members, if you ask the chat to be specific 99% of their picks for "filler members" would be newer since they don't know them yet. It's an ill-fated take to have since everyone who has been in kpop for a while knows that at some point a member who went under the radar will pop off and suddenly everyone has to change opinions. People know the older members more and are therefore more capable of distinguishing their voices and knowing their personalities, making them appear much more important than newer members. The seasoned will know that such opinions will change.

Yay thanks for checking out TripleS! This was so fun to watch 😊 I might not agree with all of your opinions but I understand and respect them. If you’re looking for a great TripleS b-side to enjoy I’m going to go ahead and suggest the song “colourful” (from the same album as rising). It was their promoted b-side from the album and imo is sooooo good.

[@bellac8287]

Hi just wanted to say this for therese when you guys were talking about their s number so first they only use their s number when they are on a variety show as 24 or it's a new unit then they would say their s number then their name or if a host asks who's s 10 is then they would say me or when they are taking attendance like s1 s2 s3 and on but when they are talking to each other they usually or usually never say s 17 come here and when they do it is a very rare thing if they do and if they do they do it as a joke sometimes to see how they would react but usually never call each other like that because they usually call each other different things like sometimes it is (their name or full name like yoon seoyeon or since they have nicknames they use it they also use like older line, middle line and maknae line it depends on who they are talking to because some members have known each other before joining tripleS so they don't really care or usually care but like i said it depends on who they are talking to because if it is like an older member talking to the youngest line and if it like most of the maknaes they would say the maknaes are crazy something like that and if it is like a duo video they sometimes use their duo name or if it is a unit video they would say (hi we are tripleS glow) some like that or is it the members that are the same age it would be a 07 line video ) but like I said they don't really do it now they kinda did it in the beginning but they don't really anymore and if they do do it it only sometimes, if they are joking or if there're different numbers s like s14 s20 and s5 they would say s5 is their senior as a joke but that's all they really use it for and for fans I would say we only use it when a non fan ask who the people is like that's s1 yoon Seoyeon sorry if it is long anyone feel and free to correct me

[@maximvazhenin3345]

I've been a fan of the group since Rising era so for more than 1.5 years So I want to provide some context and give my perspective on some things as a fan Btw Brandon totally gets it, to be honest I thought that Alex and Therese were a little salty but I respect that you gave reasoning behind your thoughts 1) The Numbers All of the girls were revealed periodically starting from 1st of May 2022 and ending with 4th of April 2024. So all of the girls were revealed in particular order and numbers were used specifically to show chronological order in which girls joined the group. In fandom numbers are rarely used. Girls use it themselves only to check the attendance lol Some girls know all of the numbers some girls don't even know the number of their closest friend in the group Most fans know not only the names of the girls but the exact chronological order in which they joined. 2) Concept and money issue Though some of the concept may seem not practical or antiutopian-like, it's working. Girls live in comfortable dorms, they have good tutors, company covers all expenses on food and transportation without limit. On top of that the girls are already getting paid. Some idols get their salary after years of working. But in tripleS girls can just casually buy a massage chair for their parents (true story). But I have to admit that there's the difference on popularity of the girls (and such thing is pretty much unavoidable in all groups), but fans are trying to give all members equal opportunities. 3) Is Girls Never Die boring? I like how Alex said that they (you) have different experience checking all of the songs in one go than us. Before that Alex (I think) said that they should have shown all of the girls and their characters in OT24 debut song. But I think that it's basically impossible to squeeze all of this in one song and MV. It's 24 people, of course their voices will be impossible to tell apart. Instead GND goes in different direction. It's cohesive, it shows how all 24 girls came and that they are 1. A solid team. We were going for that moment for two years and I like that the song is so serious, with serious topic, how vast and big it feels, how strongly it establishes itself. Personally it's my favorite K-Pop song of the year.

[@idkwhatputhere]

22:25 Producers OFTEN use background vocals with singers outside the group to bring texture, even with large groups such as Twice, Loona, GFriend (Dahyun from tripleS is even credited as a background vocal for some of their songs) so, it's just a producer's decision. 1:03:50 tripleS is "the idol of all possibilities" so... each unit has its own style, sound, storytelling, vibe, color, also idk why having 50 songs with the same genre would be a good thing anyways 1:42:40 there is a gap between popularity and objekt sales (the source of their paychecks) every member receives the equivalent of the amount of sales they get, but the goal they had and reached since the start was making "the least paid member to receive more than any new employee at a large company", the last interview held with one of the best seller members, she said that previous settlement she received around 68 million wons, around 50k usd, this in the lapse of 5 months, and the least paid received ~30k, some people argue about it, but I can asure there's no other example of idols receiving near this revenue coming from a medium sized company even the ones with 10years+ working in the kpop industry, maybe when a group hits with something like 5050 but even so, to maintain this is close to impossible, also they got rid of the so known break even point, so even back then when the members haven't debuted yet, they received money (the project started may 2022 and their 1st unit debuted november that year) 2:10:00 their 1st full group release is about struggles in life, specifically social pressure, anxiety, suic!de, depression and the message they tried to bring here is to gather the girls together to be the hope and help each other to overcome these struggles, they show this throughout the MV displaying near death with both crows and events like the car almost hitting a member, a member trying to drown herself in the bathtub, another one gaming so much that leaves her room a trashy place, and so on, so the main reason they tried to make everyone sounds the same on the production is the reason the lyrics says "let's become one" "we unite as one, 24 dreams" this is all about their story, going a little to the background of this, I recommend you to do a little search "busters kim chaeyeon case" you will understand a bit more about this lastly numbering the members is not for the worse, it's just a shortened way to refer to them however, none of the members are used to calling each other using their reveal numbers, in fact, there were cases where they were asked who is "S number?" and they failed to answer because they go by their names this group is full of excitement, good content, funny and lovely girls, their songs are top notch, the production and vocals are amazing, hope you guys figure it out asap ❤‍🔥

the person who said they couldn’t sing was wrong, both nakyoung and hyerin could have probably did that part because they do have good voices, yubin i would say didn’t have the tone and yooyeon was still learning, the producers just probably preferred the way adora sounded just like how they did for parts of just do it and there’s nothing wrong with that. i also just want to say that generation and cherry talk were already set, the 8 girls were voted through pairs so like yubin and chaeyeon were candidates for either grouping at the same time but only one could be in either group and so on, there was no popularity voting with this part because most only picked who they thought could fit the concept of the song and image but i wont say there isn’t popularity voting because there definitely is/will be but i think that’s why modhaus implemented their own picks like for example in aria dahyun was a fixed member, for the two newer sub units, visionary vision had yubin and lynn as fixed members and the japan unit has mayu and shion i’m just editing as i watch by for clarification, new look was basically a 16 member “debut” but it was a song off of the original 10 debut, so they all sung a part of the song, but i do agree about the synths part and how they could have really utilized the fact that they did have that many voices not inherently important, but just a bit of a fun fact maybe, touch originally didn’t have sohyun’s rap part, it was including later on which is why it’s called touch+ for the filler member part, some people may say so but i don’t think it’s like how they’re making it out, each member is good at different things like one may be better at singing than to their dancing but each of them are talented enough in each category that you don’t have to worry about whether or not they can perform the songs and stuff, i will say that there are a few members who were still technically training when they debuted but they are actively getting better as they go on like most idols do i also want to give a bit of info on the money thing but the most popular members do get more than least but only for the objekt money earned because it’s through their own cards, however it’s not a huge gap and the least popular are only like that because it’s the newer members who have not had the time yet for people to get to know them fully but that is also actively changing through the fact that they post videos like their signals where we get to see parts of their lives and personality NXT and GLOW are ones that weren’t decided from fans, the songs and members(obviously) were already picked and NXT were trained together instead of individually like the rest were i feel like enough people have said it, and i do understand the dislike towards it, but i just got to the number part where someone said they use it to refers to others but they don’t use it in like oh have you seen s1-24 or anything, they use each other names, the only times they’ve used numbers is usually to see who’s all there like roll call and to make jokes like with seniority other than that the number don’t really come up unless the fans bring it up because i suppose for some they remember better with it, i personally don’t pay attention to it much but at the same time i wouldn’t want/don’t like when it’s used obsessively because they do have names

Just wanted to mention a big part of who they are is also their variety content, for example while introducing members for two years for the majority they filmed, edited and uploaded a video on their channel on the same day, every single day. They are still a young group, but their channel has over 1.9k videos, take that in for a moment 🤯. Also they have 5 awards so far including MAMA ROTY, already won in a music show and are VERY active constantly traveling and performing, for non-big 4 company they are actually doing insanely well.

please the number are the way they were reveal and is all in triple s youtube account, yoon seoyeon was the first so she is s one, i wasnt aware o them till some months ago i unfortunatly wasnt there for any member reveal, but the ones who were can say that they were curios about the next member each time and who could it be and the numbers helped a lot back then so the fans knew they were 8 then it rised to 16 then to 20 then 24 for example, and at that time it would ve been very confusing to know how many they were in each time, how i said in another comment the number are their history and more than that so you cant tell soyeon that she is just a membe,r when she is the begining of tripleS and she talks about it a lot and is happy to be 1 same as the 19th member or the 21 if u think this is objectifiying u r wrong in many levels, people say that they would hate each other dont make sense, obviusly there can be disagreements but they are nice to each other cause they are all group mates, even if u are not friends with somebody that doesnt mean u cannot be nice to them, they had the time to adapt to each in the order they were revealed, everyone that havent seen any triple s content thinks that, and they themselves explained that the age difference helps to not have problems, cause imagine nakyoung that is 22 and yeonji that is 16 having this kind of problem, like its ridiculous , now every one is different but they dont have to hate each other ,they are 24 they can help each other more than disliking, its more like a community that actually works

I will say something on what Therese said (saying they should have another song) about Generation since ADORA sang the high notes. This is why it's very hard to dive in into this group knowing first some context. Generation (Acid Angel from Asia) was introduced in the very first Grand Gravity (the fan voting event). Two short clips of songs (Generation and Cherry Talk) were released for the fans as guide in choosing which member will be put into the sub-units (AAA and Krystal Eyes). The song was picked first prior choosing which member will be doing that song (which the fans chose Hyerin, Yooyeon, Nakyoung and Yubin to go in AAA with Generation). I'm not a producer but I believed they did that since the song needed that high note part and none of the four have the vocal tone to make the high-note sound well (I believe both Naky/Hyerin can sing a high-note). Hence, Adora sang that part. They couldn't change the song because the song was introduced already to the public before the members are chosen.

oh yeah, I totally understand HOW it ended up with the sample and their lineup, but imo that's the problem with fan-voting because fans will vote for popularity and not necessarily who would actually do the best job on the songs, which makes for a song that I would rather not listen to personally lol -therese

[@tectonicking3482]

@@AudioAddictionmedia No, listen to this. If you listen to the songs, learn more about the members and the units, you will see how perfectly we - the waves - chose the members. AAA and KRE are 4-4 choices when there are only 8 debutants and the 2 songs voted for are only short segments so there can be no ranking division at all. Similar to love-elov. Sorry for not very good English

[@becoolpolo]

oh and all the fan voting and all that stuff.. guys is the first group to do this pretty hardcore and big scale. They won Rookie of the Year. give em credit, they're doing money. 24 members, 24 families, 24 dreams.. we've got A LOT of variety stuff, suprisingly korean love them. And the CEO Jaden, with all the blockberry issue, I was afraid that the group would have obstacles (which they had I remember in a show or 2) but they still made it and are one of the most popular groups add a ALMOST PERFECT discography, and damn I mean. why everyone argue bout stuff haha they share a beautiful message too. They rescued idols that didnt do that good in other groups or competitions.. Dimension (AAA.v) is my fav song of all kpop time btw

[@ojkijiku]

their voice and vocal sound so good to every songs can sound look like that...

[@GuvoProd]

This deep into the deep

[@Pollo.a.la.crema.]

Invincible is my most played TripleS song. (Dimension comes in 2nd)

[@imjusthereonyt]

yesssss tripleS !!!

[@hyundts]

S1 is the very first member and they slowly over 2 years introduced each member. they slowly let you get to know them and see their progress and their skills evolve

[@TalkingAboutYooh]

I love the sound of TripleS, but I have near zero knowledge of the members, and unlike other groups, I have no desire to even try. There are just too many.

[@DDKYY]

So for Girls Never Die, just to assure you, all 24 members get lines, and all sing together during the LaLaLa part. The members all have very similar vocal colors, so that's why you can't differentiate very well, just so you know.

[@Nurva_nvi]

Graaahhhhhhh yassss tripleS >

[@vomitodeinsecto8556]

why would you even react to the group if you don't even like them...?

[@AudioAddictionmedia]

How would we know if we like them or not before this?

[@vomitodeinsecto8556]

​@@AudioAddictionmedia well you can always search for info about them it's literally not that hard, you are literally free of do or not to do something.
