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...

 Hello everyone! So when you think there's a K-pop drought towards the end of the year, lack of new releases and such, that's when you get hit with all the performances from end of the year K-pop song festivals such as KBS Song Festival, MBC Music Festival, Asia Artist Awards and more!

So with that being said I'm going to post some of my favorite stages and why I think they're great! Feel free to comment with your favorite stages as well! IZ*ONE's Lee Chaeyeon & Itzy's Lee Chaeryeong Collab Stage 2 extremely talented sisters on one stage need I say more?

Itzy - Not Shy [Review]

After their last song  Wannabe , Itzy is back at it again in their signature girl power, girl crush theme with Not Shy . My initial thoughts after listening to Not Shy the first time was how did the song go again? There was no catchy hooks like in their previous releases and the song was trying to rely more on its instrumentals rather than having coherent melodies.   After more listens I did come to enjoy the song more -- especially after watching the dance performance which elevated the song because the dance is amazing and Itzy really killed this choreography. However so far this is my least favorite song of their title tracks. I'm not a huge fan of talk-singing which they do in a lot of their songs, this song took it up a notch where like 70% of the song is talk-singing (not quite rapping, not quite singing, honestly that's the best way I can describe it). One of the other major issues that I have with this song is that there was no climax. When Chaeryeong said "Let t...
