    I've always wanted to do a video on tainted comebacks. These are the stories that had something happen, which then adversely affected the Kpop comeback. I know I did not cover every story, and so I can potentially do another one down the road. Hope you all found it interesting. Thanks for watching!

      I remember like it was yesterday.
      There was even a “farewell project” after EunB’s and RiSe’s passings, especially when the two of them were incredibly close on the level of sisters. 💔
      You drew a black heart onto the palm of your hand and posted it on social media to honor the girls. I took a part of this project and even though I didn’t folllw LC, as a part of the Kpop community, we all mourned together.

    Wendy's accident due to SBS' negligence was definitely viewed as a dark moment, but PSYCHO is by no means viewed as a dark spot in Red Velvet's discography.
    That song was quite simply a juggernaut that couldn't be stopped.
    Up until that point, the highest charting and most successful release by a girl group in 2019 was ITZY's debut song "Dalla Dalla."
    PSYCHO annihilated it.
    What that song accomplished with zero promotions is staggering and will never be duplicated.

      PSYCHO was truly the ultimate gag... the year was about to end when the girls dropped this beast of a bop and stole the whole entire ‘show’ from everybody that year. CRAZY. Probably their biggest hit with the kpop community, I feel like everybody loves that song.

    Some of these comebacks weren't actually ruined. Many of them simply weren't promoted in the end. Psycho ended up doing amazing on the charts without promotions and ppl have been waiting forever for EXO's comeback so it is definitely not ruined. Not to mention, the whole IU thing, didn't hurt her popualrity at all.

    • @rosietales
      @rosietales 11 місяців тому

      They were technically ruined in the sense of not being able to do something or having the attention taken from it. Exo's comeback was definitely ruined considering the scandals it had before its release and Kai being forced to go to the military when he could've done it and then go but we know the biggest hater was SM with the tampering of sales. IU is literally untouchable, she has done a few things that would've had other idols cancelled.

    We NCTzens don't see Superhuman as a stain on NCT 127's discography. We adore that song and it's one of 127's best title tracks to date! We are still pissed that Korean fans purposefully sabotaged the group they claim to love, all because of animosity.

    What happened with NCT 127 just seems petty to me. Don't fans want their idols to get more famous worldwide? SM works to promote NCT 127 in America, and domestic fans boycott them. That's wrong. You might not like the tactics used, but the goal was to make the group more famous. It would have benefited them, the comeback could have been huge, but you mad because this one time Korean fans weren't the priority. That's petty.

      it's beginning to happen more these days, Ateez, stray kids and more groups are having Kfans even ask to not visit other countries or go on tours outside of korea. I'm not kidding when I say this. Ktiny is the worst in this asking for fan service when not even voting for ateez because ''they aren't popular in kore so it's no use''. Multiple middlefingers were thrown during bouncy promotions unseen by the camera ofcourse. Ateez is so done being mistreated in their home country and now the fans are asking for fanservice for not even doing the bare minimum or doing anything at all. It's getting worse and worse. K-fans are definitely different this generation. It used to be : ''YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THEY'RE GOING INTERNATION WOOOHOOOOOW NOT ONLY KOREA ANYMORE'' to: ''PLEASE DON'T TRAVEL OR PROMOTE OUTSIDE OF KOREA WEEEEEEEEEH I DIDN'T VOTE FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU TRAVELED OUTSIDE OF KOREA'' it's getting childish. K-tiny and I-Atiny literally have a fanwar of their own fighting with K-tiny because of how toxic and damaging k-tiny is. So sick of winning with ''10 points''........

    I remember there being a lot of talk about Unions for Idols (and the industry at large) when the Ladies' Code tragedy happened; both managers and idols shouldn't have schedules that can lead to those kinds of situations - safety and health should come before making promotions.
    Unfortunately as far as I know, those talks have really dried up.
    I understand what you mean when you say that it changed the k-pop industry forever, but it didn't change the indutry enough IMO. I'm absolutely terrified of something like this happening again, because as far as I know, there has been no effort to change anything.
    I'm not sure what _can_ be done, but we're talking about loss of life here, there are few consequences that are worse.

    Maybe let's not call the EXO comeback ruined before it even happened. I don't think fans were mad at CBX and would have supported the group anyway and now that the issues are resolved, all the better. Of course it's sad that Kai can't promote with the group (what a mess that was), but that alone won't ruin the comeback, as there have been comebacks with missing members before. I don't know how they are on shaky ground, it's not their fault that they have to do their military service. Fans have waited a long time for this comeback, I don't think they will let it flop.

    I find it so funny how the public reacted with the CBX scandal compared to TVXQ. To this day, people are divided between TVXQ and JYJ when they had the total right of suing the company for everything they did. If Changmin and Yunho felt betrayed, it was up to just them, not for anyone else to feel like the other 3 members should've stayed when their money was supporting everything they did, even backup dancers and had slave contracts.
    Clearly SM didn't learn a single thing in all these years of managing ground breaking groups and I really wonder how things are being managed now that their groups are divided into different managements.

    Yes a lot of shit has happened in the last decade. Not to forget the departure of Jessica, which is still not 100% clear why and how it all happened and who all was involved. Ask 10 people and you get 20 answers. But what they all have in common is the label itself - SM. Jessica, Sully, everything around EXO, NCT.... Wendy (but here the blame lies with SBS). Psycho is still their best song. Plus Wendy had a successful solo debut.
    Ladies Code was the first tragedy I learned about and right after that was the fall of T-ARA. With T-Ara, though, I'm not so sure who is more to blame here: Hwayoung or Knetz? Wasn't it the Korean fans who kept up the fairy tale of a bullying scandal for 5 years? Sure, it would have been easy for her if she had said right away that she wasn't bullied and if her sister had stayed out of it but who stepped up? The fans were the ones who did it!

    Tiny correction. While Hwayoung is no saint in any case, she didn't start the bullying allegations, that was made up by Korean netziens as a reason to knock T-ara off their successful top three position in the industry. Hwayoung even initially denied the bullying allegations. She eventually settled for a generic and vague "I went through tough times" line but I don't remember her ever outright saying that T-ara bullied her. "Sexy Love" and "Number Nine" still charted within Gaon's top ten.

    i love EXO but i personally think the only thing that ruined EXO comeback is Sehun. i dont hate the guy but he hasn't improved much all these time. the moment his part began in cream soda, it brought down the already mediocre song. other members sang and danced beautifully, particularly the CBX members, D.O, Suho and Kai. PCY seems weaker this time round considering his great vocal skill, he could be better. the maknae however, i dont know how to describe him without being hated or misunderstood by EXO or his fans. goodluck otherwise.

      That's funny considering Sehun's part is so hyped even among no fans.

    Thank you for this video, it was well explained. If you do a part two, I would add Billlie's cb EUONIA, teinted by Moonbin's death. I like this song, but now ,each time I listen to it I can't help but to remember this dark period 😢.
