BLACKPINK: THE SHOW [Online Concert Review]

Image
BLACKPINK had their online concert THE SHOW via a Youtube Livestream on 01/31/2021 which I was very happy with as it made it extremely easy to stream the concert to my TV and enjoy from the concert from my own home.  I had personally never seen BLACKPINK perform live before and I really hope that one day in the future I'll be able to because this concert just proves how stellar BLACKPINK are as performers. It was a mix of both live and pre-recorded stages, and I definitely preferred the live stages even though the pre-recorded stages sounded more polished, there's just something special about hearing a performer sing live and really feeling the effort that they put into the performance.  If you didn't get a chance to watch it, the performance of Pretty Savage that was aired on The Late Late Show with James Corden was actually the exact same version of the performance that streamed in the concert. Definitely give it a look below if you haven't seen it yet!  The majority ...

MNET's new K-pop Survival Show - Girls Planet 999 [Flop or Not?]

Image
 So Mnet is at it again with another K-pop Survival Show Girls Planet 999 . Applications are still currently ongoing until February 21 and the show has a predicted start date towards the end of 2021 which is good as it gives a break from their current ongoing show CAP-TEEN.  Here's a teaser for the show below: What do I currently think and hope for the show? Personally I loved all of the Produce series even though I knew that it was most likely rigged, but there's just something about seeing the trainee's hard work and performances that really continue to draw me to these survival shows even though after each one I promise myself that I wouldn't watch another one. With this show I'm hoping that it will do well and that whatever group comes out of it is successful. Also given the Produce shows and their track record rigging the votes I truly hope they just let the audience decide the members fairly without any vote manipulation. Or maybe they can go with a Sixteen st...

The End of GOT7

Image
So contract renewals for GOT7 are up and a lot of news outlets are reporting that the members of GOT7 are going to be signing with other agencies. Jinyoung has reportedly been in talks with BH Entertainment to continue his acting career and Yugyeom has reportedly been in talks with AOMG Entertainment to pursue a solo career. There have been no official statements from JYP Entertainment regarding whether all members are going to renew or otherwise, but various GOT7 members have been tweeting their support for all members to stick together. Mark's Tweet about GOT7 staying as seven What does this mean for GOT7?  It seems like GOT7 wants to continue promoting together as seven members but it does not look like they want to renew their contracts with JYP Entertainment, which in my opinion is very fair considering the lack of support they have received from the company. Compared to the promotion of Twice, GOT7 has had very few comebacks comparably and if you're not following any GOT7...
