I was 100% sure Kepler wouldn’t renew theirs and I was wrong. 😭 but I guess it’s different here cos Gidle are definitely better off without Cube so hopefully they don’t renew in the end.
00:45 The thing about Cube is that companies that rely so heavily on one group at least use the money they are making to promote their other groups, but that’s not the case! Half of Pentagon is waiting out the rest of their contracts, LIGHTSUM hasn’t had a comeback since October (and that was their first comeback since May of 2023), and Now-A-Days, Cube’s new boy group, has disappeared.
6:26 I'm so happy for kiss of life, I stanned them since debut and seeing so many people liking them makes me emotional since before basically no one knew them, im so excited for their comeback!!
Finalllllllly someone mentioned the lack of subtitles on the majority of Weki Meki's youtube channel. It drove me crazy! Like something so seemingly small plays a huge part in global outreach. How do you expect people to relate to them and have each member's personality shine when we can't understand their interactions fully (Of course I took it upon myself to find fan sub videos, that's what made me love them). That leads to more fans making edits on socials which leads to more people's interest. Fantagio really dropped, then kicked the ball to the either with Weki Meki.
1) who the heck is saying CUBE is managing......heck, ANYONE well?!? 3) i'm still waiting for YG to mess it up. like, i hope they don't, i want BabyMonster to be managed right. but YG's history of shit management is hard to ignore. so....i hope YG has learned, but i'm not gonna hold my breath. 7) god, people acting like EXO wasn't the shit for, like, most of the 2010s is just........where were these people? clearly not here! but i was. i clearly remember how EXO fucking owned kpop. well, they shared ownership with, like, Twice and BTS and other big groups, but that's besides the point. people acting like they were never one of the biggest things in kpop is just.......
I really wish all the members of ZB1 that are from Yueha don't sign that contract because they'll be only kept in the dungeon and their talent will be lost. It's also kind of sad to see another Mnet group being close to each other and having a great bond disband again. 8) I just know SM hates winwin so bad for not letting him participate in the comeback despite him saying he was free and that his schedule did not overlap with Wayv's, yet they decided to keep him out of activities when rn he's just sitting home doing nothing. They already removed him of NCT 127 despite the fact it was the period where he started to get a lot of fans. There was no reason to remove him of NCT 127 and now to erase him from this comeback. The way SM treats it's chinese idol is already questionable and they never learnt. They used to beat their chinese idols, starve them, keep them in the dungeon, not paying them at all ever, and yet they got away with everything. I can't celebrate Wayv's first win knowing Winwin was not able to join for no reason at all.
7.PERIOD. I also noticed this sort of cold shoulder toward EXO. 8. They deserve it soo much. SM just seems to fail to many of their artists non wonder they leave once they can. Even the seniors Idols who staid for Soo long like Shinee and and Super Junior left.
THANK YOU! I rarely hear of EXO, people either stan only EXO or every other group under the sun BUT EXO, who serve and deliver in every genre they dip their toes into, it's so sad seeing people not give them the credit they deserve for literally breathing life back into Kpop, they were the trendsetters where other groups wait for them to comeback for inspo, they are too talented to be brushed off, I hate how the industry acts like it wasn't built on the backs of EXO, it's the songs, the concepts, the music videos, the choreos the concerts, the stage presence and HUMILITY, they literally started a lot of the stan subculture back in 2012 and made them standard it makes me so mad! I just want them to create more music as a group without SM hassling them and a lot more promo so people can enjoy good songs.
Why do y’all want everglow to flop so bad? Like did you really say they’re falling off? They are literally fine, just because they aren’t doing as well as the popular groups are does not mean that they don’t have a strong fan base anymore..
#1 Im afraid Belfit is following Cube's way, just saw enhypen doing 3 concerts straight, came today to korea, got badly mobbed in airport, went to stadium directly to practice for upcoming Weverse con🙄🙄 After wev con, they'll be back to japan for concerts, there is kcon la, upcoming Cb, then again remaining japan concerts, saw some leaked new world tour plans🤦♀️
Not only them suffer, also txt. During temporary bts absence hybe is losing a huuuuggge money mountain, and they want to compensate it. Also imo, hybe dont think that enga are valuable, they screwed their career since the start and now just dont want to spend their sources on them. And since bh is going to debut bg in the near future, I bet, this new bg will be the priority.
I mean Ricky can have his own identity, but the makeup just ain't it. There is so much difference between the skin tone on his face and neck 😭 at least do a good job?!
In my opinion, baby monster are promoted as a true performer who can sing live with dance. At the era where vocal and live performance is questionable Babymons7er comes an yg see the demand and lack of pure vocal and smash the standard.
Also abt Ricky, dk where yall got this ''Ricky is scary and isnt relatable'' type, Actually give him a chance and see his lives or how he actually acts in zb1 content and yall will see a completely diff image than what yall see him as. Hes so polite and kind as confirmed by many idols like Yugi etc.
ioi fr was just an experiment, they walked so everyone else could run Companies now learn from their mistakes its nice but im still so sad, they deserved better wasted potential…
1. Cube isn’t managing any of their groups right. They know that G-(I)dle is their money maker, so they’re milking them dry before they leave. 2. WayV got new management, just imagine how successful they would’ve been if they were properly managed from the start. 3. EXO is one of the most successful groups to all time. Or have people forgotten? I know they are an older group, but I hate how people are calling these impactful groups “flops”. From Twice to EXO, just shows how they’re just throwing words around.
zb1 future is defo isn’t gonna stay because like all the companies are established compared to Kep1er where they all come from small company’s besides the 2 leaving hence why they renewed
I really think the only thing that Cube is doing for Gidle is giving them money and filming the MVs with them. I guess the rest is all made by them and I`m sure if the girls wouldn`t write and produce songs themselves, they would have been ended like Lightsum and Pentagon when they were still under cube: completely ignored with barely comebacks.
Gidle will not renew, I hope at least. Even tho I personally think Soyeon’s craft has taken a slight downfall, there’s no denying she knows how to make a decent song . Soyeon doesn’t really need Cube anymore, she’s come a far way since training days and Produce 101. As for the rest of the members, I hope they stick together
I hate to say it but I kinda saw a lot of these 3rd gen-early 4th gen ggs disbanding eventually, also I stan Enhypen but their makeup doesn’t look bad like Ricky’s does and I love Zb1 to
@@ri-kb1ue wow you really know nothing about makeup the make up Ricky usually does is called douyin makeup it's popular with Chinese people the only time he did a vampire look was for his bite me TikTok
@@safz15 No bc yall havent seen douyin makeup on men? There is nothing wrong w his makeup, A vampire makeup is supposed to be not human like bc its literally another creature, yall kpop fans really need to know how to apply a real concept
About Ricky, Lets get one thing straight, The poor guy was FORCED by the company to dye his hair black even tho he requested the company to leave it dyed some other colour. So Its not his fault. Secondly ZB1's only concept isnt only ''approachable boynext door'' as we see with the 2nd album, Crush is a more powerful concept nd then In their 3rd Album w Feel the pop, they take on a hyper pop concept. Thirdly, Not everyone's face is made to fit the cutesy, approachable makeup, with people like Ricky with sharp prominent features, that makeup style would look out of place. But he does try cuteish makeup from time to time. I see where you are coming from But these points need to be kept in mind too

For your next video can you explaine why some popular group like kiss of life everglow xg treasure dont have many wins and dont have many album sales despite being popular or from a big company Ps: am kinda new in some kpop stuff
XG is the most hated group in South Korea just because it is an all Japanese girl group from a Japanese agency from Japan based in South Korea due to Xenophobic and politics, and XG has been devouring Korean music shows making these K-pop ggs looking like a bunch of elementary school kids doing a school show.
Ricky never wanted to dye his hair nd requested the company many times to leave his hair as it is but the company forced him to dye his hair, Its a sad situation honestly abt how the company mistreats him
Ricky is relatable, idk where this notion that he isn't is coming from but from his lives, his interactions with his members, and his "look" is relatable.
THISSSS Bc hes the most politest sweetest caring person ever but bc he looks so unreal, jaw droppingly gorgeous, ppl seem to think hes heartless but hes just the sweetest
