Fifty-Fifty have revealed a comeback teaser. I don't know how long it's been know they were having a comeback, but I guess it caught me off guard because that comeback is in a week.

Speaking of, I keep trying to figure out whats up with the former members, Ablume. It seems like for almost a year we've been getting teasers for their debut and they just dropped a documentary thing but still no word on music.

The last fifty fifty ep with the new members was really good though, gravity was one of the best songs of last year, hope they do more like that.

all I saw on ablume was that their new agency hired The Givers guy who was at the root of all the controversy, at the request of the members, despite the courts ruling against him for embezzlement and still being the subject of suits for poaching/tampering and so forth. I think they're just cooked

There was another of 7 girls but I'm not sure who the others were. Also a bunch of predebut solo performance videos and they have some other companies stuff too apparently.

yeah also a lot of dumb noise that I don't care to dig into, I'm skeptical they had much more than the YG stuff since that's all they posted before heading for the hills but there was a Don't Know What To Do completed video in there too

edit: it apparently was not actually collard greens and cornbread for what it’s worth, they identified it all as thai dishes during the stream

the company (not the group) apologised and I don't think this is it either

quote:

Hello,
this is S2 Entertainment.

We’d like to address the issues that arose from the content that was uploaded on KISS OF LIFE’s official Youtube yesterday (April the 2nd).

We sincerely apologize for causing discomfort to our viewers, the true purpose of the content was to celebrate hip hop culture where much of the musical inspiration for Kiss of Life comes from. We apologize for our shortcomings in recognizing the negative cultural implications that our content would be perceived as.

At this point you should just assume every single English speaking person in a kpop group is racist (or everyone in kpop honestly)

I just think there’s something off about the management of that group or the members, two same day concert cancellations with statements that didn’t specify reasons, leaving fans to speculate, surely indicates that someone somewhere in the chain doesn’t actually care about their fans. Might be a harsh thing to say but there’s just so many kpop acts these days that I have to pick and choose who I pay attention to anyway.

It is funny seeing Twitter posts being like “surely this is the end of kiof” and I wish I could be that naive, like madein had a successful comeback after the allegations against the ceo despite western fans boycotting mostly because Japanese fans were still supporting the comeback.

I'm pretty sure a large portion of their audience in the states when they toured over here was black. Let's just put it this way, they're never coming back to tour the states again I don't think.

Ish? They are all busy with their individual schedules, but at the same time another Mamamoo release and tour doesn't seem impossible.

In similar news it looks like Yeri isn’t renewing with SM. She posted a message last night warning fans of new coming today about her work and said she’d always love them for supporting her etc. could be a fake out but I’ve given up on a RV wearing tour.

I only caught bits of the kiof fiasco. Did they break out in ebonics or something?

cause otherwise that's Young Posse's entire concept.

Yeah they def crossed a few lines. It was very much making a mockery of every stereotype of black American culture. Maybe the worst thing since the BTS holocaust photoshoot.

Seems kind of sensible. Red Velvet still has enough in the tank to keep putting out stuff, but being over a decade in probably not at the rate of newer groups.

I mean there's this after all: https://www.tiktok.com/embed/7338066754951728390

wendy has been pretty outspoken about her feelings with SM so not surprising either. Kinda shocking that Joy stayed though.They must have given her a really good deal. I think most people suspected only Irene and Seulgi to stay, if any did.

Joy seems to be more geared towards her acting career at the moment, but having SM behind her isn't exactly bad for that.
