There are 4 groups that need direction & here’s those 4 groups, as well as the themes / aesthetics I’d give them for their music instead of the discography they currently have

aespa : Their title tracks are always aespa-esque, but their albums are so in-cohesive. Therefore, I’d keep their current direction in terms of title tracks, but would re-arrange some of their albums, specifically ‘Armageddon’ & ‘Drama’. I also don’t know why they have so many boring songs in their albums, or why ‘Life’s Too Short’ was their English debut …. Let alone showcased at Coachella. It doesn’t fit their vibe, nor is it interesting. ‘Better Things’ should’ve been their English debut (& No more NingNing raps or having egregiously high high-notes given to Winter)

i-dle : No more English lyrics unless they’re approved by an English-speaker first. I don’t care for improper English if it’s once or twice, but this is a reoccurring theme in i-dle’s music. Somebody else needs to take over production & lyrical content. Even without the cringy & incorrect English lyrics, a lot of their songs either lack production, resulting in them becoming sonically boring, or they focus too much on getting a message across rather than making a meaningful song that’s actually listenable. Their best songs are their more mature ones, such as ‘Love Tease’, ‘Eyes Roll’ & ‘Lucid’. We need more of that, or songs like ‘Vision’, ‘Don’t Text Me’ & ‘What’s in Your House?’ (Also, give Shuhua less lines & have her focus more on small parts or short ad-libs)

KATSEYE : A lot of people argue whether they’re K-Pop & I’m not here to argue that. I’m including them because they were trained similarly to how K-Pop idols were trained & have collaborated with K-Pop idols + were partially created by HYBE. Yes, ‘Gnarly’ garnered them a LOT of attention, but the hyper-pop themes their current music has taken on is grating to the ears & the lyrical content is equally terrible. If they could lean more into their softer, pop-sound for their b-sides & a powerful, mature-sound for their title tracks, they could be amazing

Examples of the mature-sound I’d want for them (As long as the members would be comfortable performing these songs given certain suggestive lyrics) :

- Fantasy (JADE)
- Comme Des Garçons (Rina Sawayama)
- Cold Sweat (Tinashe)
- Virgo’s Groove (Beyoncé)

LE SSERAFIM : My first move is having Yunjin & Chaewon taking most of the lines. I don’t care about equal line distribution. What sounds good sounds good. Eunchae needs less lines. Kazuha has sounded better recently, so she can be third in line distribution. None of them should be rapping, so let’s end that immediately. LE SSERAFIM are fearless, so I like the idea that each comeback is them trying something out of their comfort zone. Their first mini was different from their second & the second was different from the third album, despite them all being apart of the same trilogy. However, I didn’t like ‘FEARLESS’ or ‘UNFORGIVEN’. Let’s do jazz, R&B & disco-run. Let’s get a proper collaboration with PinkPantheress & JADE. Let’s get Jenevieve, H.E.R., Tinashe & Victoria Monét. While we’re at it, let’s fire whoever has been in-charge of the lyrics & stop putting a rock track on every album. Let the intros & interludes make sense, instead of attempting to be deep or just having sessions of them talking meaninglessly in their native languages. Let’s stop cussing like we just discovered cuss words & let’s remove ‘BOOMPALA’ & ‘SPAGHETTI’ from streaming …. Only partially joking, but those songs are abominations. Let’s re-release ‘CELEBRATE’ with an extended hard-style beat instead of the small section we were given (Please)
