Yes exactly! I don't know if I'm off-base or not, but "Get Up" sort of reminds me of a modern version of what H.E.R. used to release back in 2016-2017. It specifically reminded me of "Still Down." Not in exact sound but in vibes to me. I think that's why I loved it so much on first listen!

[@Lovelove-fw5ui]

Sm is trash but nct dream really deserves all they're getting rn because since 2016 to 2020 they didn't get a full album until 2021 and they've been through shit because of the graduation system.

[@Anybodyandnobody]

I completely agree with this point. These boys have been doing it for so many years and now they get the chance to release full albums. SM is at complete fault here to not release any GG albums

[@stefheart]

This, sm is trash

[@sixeysemks]

Like the boys have worked and at the cost of their health as well. Idk why aja came for them like this, but the on and off mini albums and psychological warfare that was the graduation system, those boys deserve the promotion for their talent. Sorry to the RV and AESPA girlies, but the Dreamies are just doing their job and damn well too.

[@typh2630]

It really isn’t about “who deserves it more” it’s simply about treating ur groups fairly and as equals. All of their groups should have a full album by the time they hit the 2 year mark of their careers. What SM did to nct dream is shitty, what they’re doing to aespa is shitty, and what they continue to do to red velvet is shitty. SM should have had the resources to accommodate each and every one of their groups since a long time ago, but they’re too prideful.

[@puujeelkhagva8575]

⁠@@typh2630sadly equality is something you will never hear in business cause these groups do not sell equally. nct as a brand sells more than 10 million albums a year and sm need that to operate.
