This is coming up with aespa "Rich Man" but okay, let's also look at ARTMS who reddit is way less likely to say negative stuff about. aespa "Rich Man," Good Morning America: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0L8zr3no5Q ARTMS "Burn", Good Day New York: https://youtu.be/_mPRQRSRh2M Relatedly -- I'll include since it's timely -- LSF "Hot" + "Antifragile" on America's Got Talent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtMGh0fOO7o So firstly some background on these shows (except for AGT), these are incredibly boring morning TV shows that just happen to be on while you're eating breakfast or getting your kids ready for school or something. The local one at least tells you if you need an umbrella. The national one, no clue, I guess it's designed to never quite be so boring you need to change the channel. Honestly my whole theory is kpop has a big competitive advance on these shows by being not-boring to half-glance at while it's on. So take a look here's some new Ourii who ARTMS won that morning, from "Burn" YT comments: When I was getting my children get ready for school, I turned on the TV to watch some news and I wasn’t expecting some good music to light up my morning haha! I’m glad i found the name of this song, so catchy! Anyway, what I like about all these shows is the fact the stages are less optimized for music shows and the film crew aren't up to date with latest kpopology is you actually wind up getting a recording a lot closer to a "dance practice" video in cinematography. So with both ARTMS / aespa smaller stage and wider camera angle keeps the whole group on camera pretty much the whole time that means you get to watch your bias the whole time and some performers (and I really do mean Giselle here) have really good performance vibes when they're not center stage so it's just fun to be able to watch them throughout no backup dancers, which I think is cool, shows the choreo more, and closer to the dance practice vibe Something the show with ARTMS did but not aespa's show is a mini-interview, just 2 questions. But check youtube, that's the most re-watched part of the performance. (They got flustered at an English question, which according to Jinsoul in a later post were off-script, so, flustered.) Plus in both these cases, if you're an American up to date on your groups' schedules, you could make the audiences in the morning. I think there's overall some effect for seeing kpop outside its natural habitat, like woo we're legit even for people who don't know how to run a whole kpop music show program. Also honestly there's no purer joy in kpop than int'l fans finding their faves on some random show. Here's another time aespa got featured on some random non-kpop show (@theonlymajed) and the whole damn kpop fandom showed up in the comments https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OM-nUv50CWU submitted by /u/abyssazaur [link] [comments]
