Comparing KIOF with (G)I-DLE (my ultimate gg groups) is a joke itself 🤡 KIOF is doing pretty well with just ONE YEAR from their debut: they sold out concerts in the United States, has got promotions and they are practically one of the most famous groups in the fifth generation. All this coming from a small company. (G)I-DLE is a self made group but we have to admit that CUBE is not a small company and that can influence a lot. I'm really tired of these people who can't even see the context before throwing a whole dumb opinion as a "fact"

[@sarabeshwar9911]

Cube could literally replace JYP at a time

[@Idlesthetic]

Wait because I 100% agree with this! Because they are my ultimate groups as well!

[@_JustArandomMultistan_]

2: Are people forgetting (G)I-DLE had songs like "HANN", "LATATA", "LION", & "OH MY GOD"? Comparing a pretty much Veteran group, (in this case), to a Rookie group is a stretch considering the fact that this group doesn't even have much wins from Korean Music shows AND also the fact that they're from a smaller and unknown company compared to CUBE. KIOF isn't failing just because their recent comeback didn’t have massive success. Sometimes, a group needs time to find the right sound or concept that resonates. Who knows? They might come back stronger with a fresh release that changes everything and proves the skeptics wrong.

You know what problem with RM, JHOPE AND YOONGI's streams is that they are not making upbeat pop songs but making indie and hip hop songs ( that they love)which most of the other kpop soloists do hence kpop fans and army don't listen to their music as much as other members or other kpop soloists. BTS rapline is simply not kpop and not for kpop fans but for rap lovers who genuinely love hip hop. Big Hit literally failed to promote them to right audience. For eg. RM's Right Place Wrong Person,Jhope's Jack In The Box,Yoongi's DDay were literallg named under best hip hop albums in 2022,2023 and 2024 in general not just in kpop.

I also think it's hard to win the praise of hip hop fans. I've seen numerous hip hop fans react to the rap line and while some do appreciate the music, many don't.

2:37 bsides don’t always have to follow the title track’s footsteps; they can also be used to showcase an artist's versatility.

And Mantra vs APT is a personal choice. it is just toxic to compare Mantra and APT (even Rosie and Jennie support eachother) 3. I disagree I fell like Aespa's b-sides are really well thought out. The b-sides are usually chill and calm which is nice because their title track is very heavy. If you listen carefully to their b-sides they always try to match the mood of the album, I don't think any song in album feels out of place. And again it is a personal choice because Aespa has their unique music style.

[@ava-tf1ni]

The main reason for the difference in popularity between BTS solos is just a difference in music taste amongst fans. Most Armies are more interested in mainstream pop tracks than they are in “indie” rap or ballads, which is why Jungkook and Jimin’s solos have more streams. I think fans, including myself, have passed the period of kpop culture where they feel the need to stream songs they don’t like, which is why Jin’s solo work is “flopping” in comparison to the others with more mainstream work. Favoritism does have a little to do with it but at its core, fans just prefer a different style of music than what Jin is creating.

Talking about bts members solo releases let me tell everyone that many kpop stans are literally saying that blackpink solo work is more sucessful then most of the bts members but the actual thing is bts as a solo artist are under bight not any American label like blackpink members and moreover if you see the crazy playlisting and payola blackpink members are getting from their western labels are insane.For example jin's solo single got 30m Playlist reach on the day of release while rose's atp got 140m+, jennie's mantra got 98m, lisa's new women 130m+ so comparing and not to forget their tiktok,spotify,youtube and apple music adds. Hence comparing organic music with industry pushed payed songs is completely wrong. I am not a bts or blackpink fan but a casual listener of both groups.

Either their releases are almost immediately followed uo by another members release (like just a week or two later) or the fandom just feel absent in the general release and tracking period (as evident with ibt) Edit:- now ik people will stream what they like and not what they dont like but the thing is many accounts (on ss like yt twt insta etc) promot and belive in the bts is 7 and those who are army supports all 7 equally narrative (at least non biased charting/ updates/ playlisting accounts etc) and such accounts push to their max during one period but all of sudden goes crickets on other periods when they claim to be accounts dedicated to members updates and pushing their streams with not one but multiple account admins. In such circumstances it does becomes unfair towards certain members. Wont include company promos cause most of those are customatized by the members themselves according to their needs amd ease. Now i agree with you in the fact that if we stan someone we are not obligated to stream music and we have our personal lives to live and i myself am not a "streamer" i enjoy their music as and to the ease of my convince. But if you look at army fandom, most of us do belive in streaming, tho i do not encourage to force people to stream, but for me personally if i have time and convince i do stream. Its just my opinion tho!!! Loved your vedio and your take !!!

5) There will come a time where stans will understand that not everything has to do with JYP. The girls were simply replaced by newer artists that debuted around the time their momentum came to a halt. 2022 was the year of debuts for NJ and LSRFM, Kep1er and NMIXX. By the time itzy got back on their feet from the sneakers hate the public had already replaced them with the other groups that debuted and gave them new songs to make popular or discuss. It's unfortunate for the girls because I do think itzy is too good of a group to be ignored. It was a crucial time for any 4th gen group as the times were already starting to change. Itzy is at that stage now that old generations experiences where they ride off the already existing and loyal fanbase rather than bringing in newer audiences. And that's fine! Like you said they will sell seats, they will sell albums and that's enough for JYP. Expecting a change now is delusional especially from a company like JYPE. 6) I have been saying this! Yes JYP has a laundry list of reasons to be disliked c'mon it's a company but they are doing just fine with their groups. Maybe y'all don't like the promotions or schedules whatever but these issues are so small compared to what SM and HYBE even YG are dealing with rn. Maybe they have something under the wraps I don't know but as of right now they seem like the only one out of big3 and HYBE to do well regardless of the success of its artists. 7) Is that person serious? The queer community in EA is functioning much different than the one we're used to in the west. No, you can't ASSUME someone's sexuality from their mannerisms. If anything you do nothing but feed to the stereotypical labeling of queer people. They are allowed to exist without being assumed as queer regardless of their mannerisms fitting with what YOUR idea of a queer person is. Get a grip and stop investing in something that quiet literally has 0 to minimum effect on you. Even if you're queer or straight these are topics that can be sensitive to people such as celebrities who constantly have their private lives be violated by crazy fans. The least you can do is not assuming anything beyond what they show you.

How was Mantra poorly promoted? It literally had tons of Billboard ads around the world, had 24 hours of tracking, 90M playlisting reach and #21 on TTH first day, multiple music show performances both in the US and Korea. This is more promo than literally every kpop act out there. APT simply did better because of Bruno, it really isn't that difficult to understand (though the ads and autoplay are getting annoying now, like pls stop. It was one of the reasons I ended up disliking Flowers). As for personal taste, I do kinda agree Mantra is better than APT(completely based on my music taste, don't come for me lol).

1. It actually depends on taste i personally enjoyed mantra and new women more than Apt. I am not really fan of rosè musical style only solo of her that i actually enjoyed was hard to love. Lisa and Jennie songs suit my taste better than rosé and jisoo style but since it's Rosè 'The best singer of group' everyone would love, praise and like her solo more than other members and i see 'number ones' and other kpopies hating on jenlisa solos just cause they aren't best singers but at end of day it's music taste.

[@DaddiesLittlePsycho]

Fyi... Itzy literally picked the song. ALL JYPE groups, if they aren't outright the ones making thir own music, they at the very least get to pick all of the songs on their album, including the title track. JYPE believes that music is supposed to be an artist, who love the music they release, enjoying performing it live, and putting something out j to the world that hsnt been done 10000 times before and is, in fact, likely to get a copyright strike. Lol Helping to actually move music forward into uncharted territory, as opposed to sitting in the overpopulated and thus vastly oversaturated the mainstream, easy listening, pop/alt pop/ indie industries are. I think they are very much lright with the fact that they aren't going to be everyones cup of tea. But that not what music is about. It's not about pleasing the listeners. It's about making the artist feel fulfilled, giving them an authentic voice, and havejng groups that go out on stage and make a concert truly amazing because they are actually HAPPY to be there and singing those songs. I don't know what music became about playing everyone but the artist... often times demanding the artist release what the punlic wants, not what they want. Even demanding they try to please people who don't WANT to ever like them,. After all, they are only there to make demands, they aren't going to suddenly start supporting you. And to top it all off, if everyone made what the general public liked then there would be nothing for those who DONT Like mainstream. I don't understand why everyone needs all the groups to release music THEY like. Its jot about them, they aren't even fans! Why are people who aren't even fans paying NAY mind to hat ANYONE other than the groups they DO like are doing? That's a much more important subject that ITZY releasing music they like just because some other people don't. I have a lot of respect for JYPE idols, they aren't trying to be anything they aren't, they aren't trying to be the best at the expense of their own happiness, and they aren't attempting to get where they DO wish to go, via artificial or unearned means. Their label is the only kpop company EVER to be certified by the Standards Institute for their Anti-corruption Management System. That is very impressive.

I actually loves Aespa‘s album and don’t think they are messy. I like when they try different genres, especially in Kpop Besides are important for that since most groups usually stick to a sound. Funny thing is, I think the last album of Aespa is the most cohesive. For the first time I didn’t like their title track. I think Whiplash is so uninspiring but the besides are SO good. I don’t get why you think they are generic. Kill it (should have been the title track), Just another girl, Pink Hoodie, Flights, Not Feelings, Flowers have very distinctive sounds.

[@AimFlash2506]

[@kayziofficial]

1. Personally, I prefer APT more than Mantra, however why does it constantly have to be a competition between these girls? This is arguably a big year for BLACKPINK solo work and each girl has been thriving with their releases respectively. Let’s just be happy that we’re even getting music in the same year. 2. Even though this comeback isn’t my favorite, groups will go through phases where not everything they put out isn’t as show stopping as the last and I think it’s better for them to put out stuff they enjoy rather than avidly try to top what they did before. It can mess with the love of your craft. Kiss of Life is doing really well and comparing them to (G)-Idle isn’t fair in the slightest. 3. Yeah I have a lot of Aespa b-sides in my playlist, but I never find myself going to intentionally stream them. However, with Armageddon and Whiplash, I have liked the more recent ones. 4. Refer back to 1. 5. I’ve been a Gold defender, the title track and the album, but these girl are just fine. Hate that they not getting more love but sometimes that happens to artist. Staying stagnant for a while. 6. JYP, don’t change. Keep treating these artist the way they deserve to be treated.

I don't like the Jennie, Rose comparison. Why does there need to be any comparison when they were clearly doing different concepts and genres? And Bruno Mars did play a significant role in APT success. About bts solos, everyone knows maknae line is clearly more popular than hyung line. Hence it is expected they will pull more numbers everywhere. Quite frankly, I was very surprised with J Hope's Lollapalooza turnout and Suga's successful world tour. They did quite well for themselves. Given that popularity gap, more pop oriented songs like 'seven' and 'who' were significantly more successful that V' title tracks internationally. That's just market for you. Imo that RM song with Youjeen feature was absolutely great. But it is often not mentioned. So expecting or guilting bts fans for more numbers is strange and unhealthy. It is off putting for fans. I agree with your statement that it's company's job to market. Fans doing it makes them just lazy and unprofessional.
