In addition to the stunning stage tours, the interactions between the five sisters both on and off stage are even more interesting, like when choosing performance costumes, all kinds of novel ideas always caused the audience to burst into laughter. Lee Hyo-ri still maintains her bold and sexy style, always surprising the other four guests and the on-site production team with her astonishing remarks.

However, after finishing the stage performance, the five sisters opened up about their feelings and thoughts in their private conversation. But when BoA suggested to Kim to consider dating younger men last time, Kim candidly replied, "Of course the kids would approach you for dating, why would they come to me?" The conversation, ever so emotional and hilarious, sparked a lot of discussions.

After this stage ended, BoA, who recently served as the host of audition programs and music shows, expressed her thoughts on the current idol activity mode. BoA mentioned that most of the idols' comeback period is very short, and it usually ends after running a round of programs for their new album.

When Uhm Jung-Hwa mistakenly thought that there was at least a month's worth of activity left, Baoer stated, "It's usually only about a week, it's honestly quite empty." Lee, who was standing nearby, echoed, "At that time, we started off with six months, and we also toured around." Uhm Jung-Hwa revealed that he was promoting the album for a year at that time, causing Hwasa, who was standing by, to feel extremely astonished. As a result, Kim laughed and said, "We used to count by years back then!" resulting in a burst of laughter.

After the clip was aired, it unexpectedly resonated with many Korean netizens, who expressed:
"Back then, there wasn't much of the first week issue, nor was there a problem of worrying about seat signings, the most was just group purchases,"
"Even if the current album can't do much promotion, a lot of money has been invested, too much capital has been injected, so rather than saying it's a comeback, it's almost mostly selling fan services,"
"Now it's really a lot shorter, just when you feel happy about the comeback, the kids will soon be going overseas again, and after starting to hold signings and online signings, until the next comeback,"
"Previously, it ended just by listening to the album and watching the broadcast, now there's a lot to do with streaming music sources and YouTube,"
"Honestly, it feels really empty, I believe it's not just the fans who feel this way, the singers will also feel it's too short, right?"

PLEDIS criticized for deliberately delaying S.COUPS' event announcementKPOP

PLEDIS criticized for deliberately delaying S.COUPS' event announcement

SEVENTEEN's team leader, S.COUPS, suffered a knee injury in August, which was later diagnosed as damage to the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, causing him to pause his activities and undergo surgery. Since it's only been two months since the surgery, the management agency Pledis Entertainment announced on the 20th that S.COUPS will not be participating in the comeback activities on the 22nd of this month, unexpectedly causing dissatisfaction among many fans. Pledis Entertainment stated that although S.COUPS himself has a strong will to participate in the schedule, they still hope that the artist prioritizes his health recovery, so they've decided not to include him in the new album's schedule. They hope that fans can understand. However, some fans are unhappy with Pledis's 'slow' policy. They even expressed their dissatisfaction on forums, believing that they could have been forewarned about a member's absence due to illness. Instead, it was announced that S.COUPS would not participate in activities after the album signing event started. Fans suspect that the company deliberately delayed the information and allowed fans to consume and buy albums in advance. Fans on the forum posted Pledis' announcement regarding member S.COUPS not participating in the comeback schedule, and everything seemed to be no different from a normal announcement. However, the company did not indicate afterwards whether the member would participate in the autograph session. They only removed S.COUPS’ name from the final member autograph session group list, which was wholly unacceptable for fans. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction, stating that the company was well aware of whether the member could continue with the comeback activities before the autograph session was held. In other words, the company was already aware of the member's health status and recovery situation. However, they chose to notify just two days before the comeback, or even after the autograph session tickets were sold out, leading many fans to believe that the company deliberately delayed the announcement date for the sake of sales. The fan argued that since each purchase for a sign event is a considerable amount of money, even spending much savings to get a signature, even if you're not a die-hard fan, you would want to see your favorite member. Thus, the company seems to have concealed information from fans supposedly for sales, intentionally delaying the announcement, causing many fans to be furious. "Is it that hard to make a proper announcement?", "The desire to make money is too much, especially after being acquired by HYBE it's getting worse", "It's really too much", "Sign events are not just one or two, it really looks like scamming fans", "Of course, they should inform us beforehand. Nobody would say it only after a member leaves, it really feels like a scam", causing much dissatisfaction.

Has the music of the Korean boyband lost its popularity?KPOP

Has the music of the Korean boyband lost its popularity?

Recently, more and more people might have noticed that girl groups seem to be more popular than the fourth generation boy groups. Not only are their songs sweeping the charts on major music sites, but their sales are also not inferior to boy groups. Their performances are very impressive. In fact, this situation is not only apparent to the general public, but also to the artists themselves. For example, TXT member Yeon Jun mentioned on BamBam's online show that he felt regretful because the public now only focuses on girl groups. When BamBam asked about his feelings about activities as a fourth-generation group, Yeon Jun then responded, "To be honest, activities related to the fourth generation... I think it's a little difficult, and the fact that today's male idols receive less attention makes me feel regretful." Yeon Jun sighed, saying that most of the songs on the music charts are by girl groups. He praised, "Indeed, the songs by girl groups are all very good, but boy groups also have many good songs," indirectly expressing his hope that the songs and works of boy groups could be recognized by more people. Yeon jun's remarks quickly sparked a wave of discussion, but some netizens believe that the reason why fewer and fewer people are listening to boy bands is because of their music style, which is discouraging the public from wanting to listen to their songs. A post on the nct forum stated "To be honest, if people refuse to listen to boy bands' songs, NCT is largely responsible." The person described casually hearing a certain song on the road, and because they couldn't figure out a clear style, the song just came off as quite noisy. The more they listened, the more tired they became. They continued "I saw them singing strange raps on TV, so I just turned it off and didn't listen anymore." After the post was exposed, it immediately sparked a wave of discussion among netizens. The post also accumulated 100,000 clickthroughs, with some netizens agreeing by saying, "I indeed don't listen to songs from boy bands due to NCT and Stray Kids, but since their songs became successful, many people began to follow along, and this is probably what gradually forms the prejudice against boy band songs." Commenters added things like, "NCT and Stray Kids are really the epitome of this type," "I also think he's telling the truth, the public obviously chose not to listen to the boy group that SM launched after EXO," "I really can't figure out what the song is about," and "The really noisy one should be ATEEZ." "But some netizens are also wondering 'When has it ever been NCT's fault?', 'Isn't the person who wrote this article the problem?' 'Honestly, I used to be prejudiced like this, but now I often listen to StrayKids' songs.' and refute that it's not always the fault of a certain group. The discussion is very heated.

However, she has performed a new solo song, "You & Me," at Blackpink's concerts. On August 9, it was revealed that "You & Me" has been registered with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP). ASCAP is a performing rights organization that collects royalties for songwriters and publishers.
