I totally agree with most of your opinions...it's nice to see someone who is not biased while pointing out the flaws in yhe industry...I agree that many fans nowadays will come out and say that their biases are on another level just because the have writing credits...even though they are not the only one mentioned with writing credits and is not specified for how much they contributed...they might just be mentioned there for only putting 1 or 2 lines...but these fans will say that these idols are on another level just because they have writing credits in some of the bsides and will ignore the fact that if these same idols are not even capable of performing the songs live(but the fans will let YOU know that they are the writers of the song) I think that it was a nice decision to mention ASA as the writer of the rap part ONLY...other companys should do that too...just like how yunjin(le sserafim) wrote the lyrics for EPATBBW and showed the lyrics she wrote on a live
@@AnushkaCreates :) I'm thinkng about EXO's concept. Or what about aespa's concept with ae-members? And NCT concept - a big umbrella group with subunits? Not to mention their concept used to be infinite expansion and k-pop fans have laughed to them. These are just some examples, but there is no reason to measure who is MORE or THE most creative. Each and every company do their best to atract fans and public, at least I hope so. Let's give applause to every creative team out there. As you've mentioned that you want to see more idols in charge with their albums - SHINee's Key actually participated in the creation of design of his albums. Or EXO's Suho who not only wrote the lyrics of his songs (with lyricist), but also personally had chosen the band with who he recorded his 2nd album. He calls themselves 'SB' and travels with them for his solo schedules. Yes, it's always good to see artists involved with their music on deeper level. 🙂
I feel like 4th gen lasted a long time longer that 3rd gen. I think that they actually benefited from the pandemic because so many more fans came to kpop because they were at home not able to do anything
