AstoldByShanise

After two long years, BlackPink Is finally making their long awaited COMEBACK this august.

Blinks and fans alike are super excited to see what BlackPink has been cooking away for almost three years. BlackPinks “The Album” was a HUGE success all over the world, breaking records internationally!

Now the girls are gearing up to release their pre single titled “Pink Venom”. From the teasers alone it looks super good and I’m intrigued. I have no clue what it will sound like, but if their favorite producer Teddy has his hands In it , I’m somewhat sure of what it will sound like.

Pink Venom will be released this Friday and I’m on the edge of my seat to see what the girls will finally gift us!!

Let’s go Blinks, our time has finally COME!!!

The Issue With Cookie

Hybes new girl group is already facing a lot of scrutiny! But not for the reasons you might be thinking, so let’s get into K-pop’s latest scandal!

New Jeans just debuted last Friday and they’re already taking the K-pop world by storm with their fire singles “Attention and Hype Boy”.

But it’s their latest single COOKIE, that’s causing a lot of discussion about girl groups and them being taken advantage of.

New Jeans is a group of young girls ranging in ages from 18-14. So it’s understandable why fans and Stan’s don’t want the girls to be sexualized . The girls made a video for their fandom and explained the new song COOKIE and how it’s for the fans. But if you listen to the song is clearly a song with innuendos about the guy wanting a girls “cookie”.

While the song is a very catchy song and a for sure bop, I did think it was kind of inappropriate upon first listen. I had to go look up their ages because of the outrage on TIKTOK.

The song is a hit, but I do think this raises the question of how far the K-pop industry will go? And why would they think this song was appropriate for young girls who are barley legal?

The song would have been better suited for Itzy or Aespa ,even BlackPink. as they’re are all young adults. Even through all the outage the song is blowing up and making the girls even more popular.

I do hope the label takes notice of the outrage and moving forward makes better judgement on what the girls put out. I will say their promotion is very age appropriate. And their stage looks are appropriate as well with the girls wearing long safety shorts under their skirts!

I see New Jeans having a long and successful career, they’re very talented. I just hope it’s a safe environment for them to thrive and grow up slowly and not force them to be sexual too soon.

Girls vs Sneakers

Two of the most popular girl groups of the 4th generation are having a little friendly competition. So who had the better comeback? Let’s dig into it.

I really like both groups and enjoyed both comebacks, but I’m going to have to give this one to Itzy.

Just the whole roll out and promoting of Sneakers. From us hating it at first to us now loving it! I loved the whole idea of the video and the many different looks we got! The choreography is super fun and cute! And if it’s one thing Itzy is known for, its Their Choreography! the girls all look great and I loved how we got royal then sporty Itzy all in one video.

Not to mention all of the live performances have been so much fun as well! And the girls all look like they’re having so much fun on stage.

Now on to Aespas GIRLS. Now it wasn’t a BAD comeback, and I actually like the song. It’s just there wasn’t much buildup besides the usual and we only got a few performances then it was all over. Kind of lack luster in my opinion. Now the video is probably one of the coolest videos they’ve ever done!! And the song as usual for Aespa is a slow burn. It takes a while to grow on you but once it does it’s a ForSURE Bop!!! It just wasn’t as strong of a comeback as ITZY.

Both groups are smashing it right now and I know they’re friends and support each other! Aespa still has a long way to go, but they will get there in the end because they’re super talented. Itzy on the other hand are getting better with time and age. they top themselves each comeback!

Can’t wait to see them on your this November, I’m so excited I can hardly wait!!

Which comeback was your favorite?

Between Twice 1&2

Once’s it’s almost our time to SHINE, twice is back with another mini album!!

Imagine my shock as i logged in and saw that twice was having yet another comeback!! A part of me is super excited and can’t wait to see what my girls have cooked up. Another part of me is like “damn didn’t they just have a comeback earlier this year?!” I know JYP is known for overworking the girls , I just hope they’re all well rested and are actually okay.

To be honest I’m still jamming out to Nayoens POP, and I kind of thought another member would go solo before we got another twice comeback! The girls are truly the most hardworking girls in K-pop right now. We get at least two comebacks a year, where as most groups only do ONE! They’re unstoppable right now, they even did two tours back to back this year! 2022 is truly the year of TWICE.

What do you think it will sound like!? I’m so excited and can’t wait to watch my girlies eat it up!

Favorite New Jeans Singles

By now hybes new girl group NEW JEANS, has released a few new singles to introduce themselves to the K-pop music industry. And here are my favorite singles in order.

1. Hype Boy

2. Cookie

3.Attention

I can quickly see them becoming everyone’s favorite 4th generation girl group. We don’t know much about them yet personally and they’re really young,But they have the looks and charms. and every single song they’ve released has been a outright BOP!

Can’t wait to see them debut and hear more from NEW JEANS.

Stuck In My Head

Hi friends, we’re back with a new segment titled “STUCK IN MY HEAD” where I’ll be talking about all the new music that I just can’t get enough of. Todays STUCK IN MY HEAD is all about the K-pop music I just can’t enough of lately. So let’s get into it!!

Ever since they’ve caught my attention two weeks ago, I’ve been OBSESSED with their songs!! And they haven’t even officially debuted yet! Hype boy is SUCH A BOP.

It’s no secret that Nayeons Pop as been ALL over TikTok and I’m living for it. It’s not my favorite song off her new album but it’s definitely one of my favorites and it’s constantly in my head!

It’s funny because I absolutely hated this song before it came out and didn’t think I would vibe with it at all! And now even though it’s not their best single by a LONGGGG shot, it’s super catchy and fun!! And I just can’t help myself, not to mention it’s a fun summer comeback when everyone else is being edgy! Love Itzy for always going against the crowd!

What’s some of your favorite K-pop songs that have been stuck in your head lately?!

NewJeans is worth all the HYPE.

Hybe has introduced a brand new girl group, under the stage name of NEW JEANS. Not to much of a fan of their name but BOY do these girls have the talent and charisma to be the next IT girl group of the 4th generation.

I was just scrolling on YouTube last week when I saw hybe had posted ATTENTION by New Jeans on their YouTube. I saw it was a girl group and I was curious so I clicked and I immediately loved the laid back chillness of the song. It’s an instant bop! Not to mention the choreography is a total smash and the girls eat it up.

Then they released another hit, HYBEBOY, with another addicting choreography and catchy verses.

I tend to stay away from a lot of the newer 4th generation groups, because they are so young. But I couldn’t help start to adore NEW JEANS. I see them as my little sisters and as a lover of hybe, I will support and love them!

I give both ATTENTION AND NEW JEANS 5/5. I can’t wait to see what else the girls have up their sleeves.

Girls Reaction

Girls is finally out in the world and just as Aespa Does, it’s a hit!!

After hearing illusion, I wasn’t worried about how Girls would sound or if I would like it. In fact just like all their other songs , I knew Girls would have to grow on me and it definitely did and I love it!!

The video is super cool and definitely ties the song together and brings Girls to life. Each girl has their shinning moment and each girl kills it!

Girls was the first video of Aespas where I didn’t think ONE girl outshined the other. They all stood out equally.

I can’t say just who owned Girls because all four girls did such a great job. My bias is NingNing. And I thought my Bias Wrecker would be Winter, but lately Ms Karina has been stealing my heart!! And completely leaving me speechless with her vocals and sharp moves! She’s more than just a pretty face.

No matter how Giselles behavior bothers me , she does amazing in this song And looks even better! the red hair is definitely making her entire personality pop. She seems to be gaining more confidence as well.

I do think Aespas rap line is my favorite at the moment. Just because the girls seem more comfortable and natural when rapping. And doesn’t seem like a title that the company just threw at them. They deliver each line with such sharpness and sass.

I haven’t listened to the new songs yet, but plan to very soon and will then come back with a review!

I give Girls a 5/5. The looks, fashion, makeup and choreography was a HIT in my book!

Once again Aespa smashes it out the park!

Sneakers Review

Hi friends , and we’re back with another post where I am EATING my words. Yes I’m talking about how much I didn’t like Sneakers , just by the preview alone and NOW I love it. Let’s get into it.

“Put my Sneakers on”, is so damn catchy you can’t help but be happy while listening to it and singing along. I will admit when I heard the preview I was NOT impressed by a long shot. But I should have known my girls wouldn’t have let me down and once again they completely ate this concept up!!

I was so confused when I saw the royal concept then their usual girl crush concept. And could NEVER imagine the two going together well. But in typical ITZY fashion they were unique and totally pulled it off.

The girls look amazing and of course we all now have a new signature choreography move to be obsessed with. If it’s one thing Itzy is going to do , it’s give us a signature move!!

Sneakers is a total secret bop and I would have ever seen that coming honestly!! I give it 5/5. It’s one of my favorite singles they’ve ever done and it gives me total Dalla Dalla vibes.

Every comeback Itzy continues to out do themselves while staying true to what makes them different. Sneakers is sure to be a K-pop summer bop! I’ll have it on at every opportunity.

Have We Been Fooled?!

A few weeks ago I wrote about how excited I was for ITZY new concept and how I was excited for them to trying a more mature theme and growing up. It seems the whole crowns and luxury promo pictures were just that, promo pictures. And now we’ve been hit with an entire new concept and look , and it’s left midzys very confused.

Seeing this concept I was so hyped and excited. They look so good, but then suddenly it switched and now we’re getting a title single named SNEAKERS.

At first we all thought it was a prank or a joke, a way to promote their upcoming mini album and generate buzz.

But as the days go on, it’s becoming so clear that SNEAKERS is what we’re getting whether we like it or not. Not to mention their teaser TikTok videos give me second hand embarrassment and it feels like a Disney track.

I could be wrong, and I’m fully prepared to eat my words. If the song turns out to be a complete BOP. It’s just all the little snippets I’ve heard have been ….. not what I was expecting to be honest.

Of Course they look pretty and the sneakers promo is gorgeous . But it’s not what we were expecting or wanting.

And I’m just really confused how a song about Sneakers , is gonna be good. It’s totally giving me Sneakernight vibes by Vanessa Hudgens.

What are your thoughts? I know we have to wait for the song to actually come out first before we past judgment. So I will try my best to give it an honest listen when it drops. I just pray it’s good and my girls haven’t let me down.
