AOA's decision for a double title track comeback doing more harm than good?
Article: "Excuse Me, Bing Bing" AOA's seduction

1. [+1,009, -32] Han Sung Ho-ssi, a double title track comeback is not something you can copy just because you think it looks cool, it doesn't guarantee success if you release it without any planning like htis

2. [+815, -26] Han Sung Ho needs to please stop touching on the songs. He always sticks his business where it doesn't belong because he wants a cut of the royalties; If he's going to mess with the songs at all, at least mess with the other songs on the album, why the title tracks? Why drop the quality of them?

3. [+815, -37] Their concept's alright... but their title tracks lack quality compared to their past releases. Should've just left the entire thing up to Brave Brothers.. why in the world would you try and help him compose and write the songs..

4. [+810, -56] Their digital rank is a super fail ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+507, -24] Has a bit of a trot feel... should've left the lyrics to a real lyricist ㅠㅠ

6. [+276, -7] I'm thinking the members were super shocked when they saw their digital rank....

7. [+273, -10] How can you fail this hard...

8. [+285, -16] Well that's the end of the girl group generation shift!!!! AOA should consider going their separate ways at this point

1. [+1,329, -108] Han Sung Ho must really believe he's Park Jin Young or Yang Hyun Suk. Can he screw off already?

2. [+987, -66] I went on Melon and thought AOA hadn't released their new songs yet... how is it that it's not even in the top 20? It's gotta be hard to fail this badly..

3. [+1,019, -82] Might've been better to just go with one title track. Not everyone can pull it off like Big Bang can... It's easier on the fandom to stream one song and music video since it focuses their efforts on the same thing. Both of their songs are pretty whatever... poor planning on FNC's part.

4. [+679, -45] They're #47 and #75 on Melon....... they're going down the path of Rainbow

5. [+842, -104] Fans begged Han Sung Ho to not mess with the title tracks and he still did... what does he think he gains by ignoring the public's demands?

6. [+593, -38] I get high blood pressure just hearing FNC's name now;;; How can you ruin a girl group that once had megaton hit tracks up to 'Heart Attack' in just a year and a half like this ㅡㅡ;;; the poor members ㅡㅡ;;; I hope they leave once their contracts expire

7. [+617, -50] Should've just trusted Brave Brothers to do everything, why oh why does Han Sung Ho feel the need to mess with everything?

8. [+486, -12] Even Park Jin Young doesn't mess with Twice's productions, who does Han Sung Ho think he is to know what's better for AOA?

Excuse Me really became a jam to me. Are they really bombing or are the netz salty?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

they're not charting well
but TBH mamaoo, twice and blackpink are still doing very well and taking higher spot (not to mention big bang)
"Excuse Me" debuted #33 on Melon and "Bing Bing" #46

Excuse Me does not deserve this

edit: Excuse Me is now @ #93 while Bing Bing has been whiped from our collective memory :O

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Yeah that was a.....sobering comparison LOL

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

At least they aren't blaming the girls :(

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

"excuse me" is such a bop, it deserves a better treatment U_U
Girls doing magic tricks is a thing that I didn't know I needed in my life but now I want more and more. Please let them do some magic on their music show stages.

also... a lot them look really different, did they got a group discount at a plastic surgery center?


Edit: I'm re-reading my last line and it sounds more mean than I wanted lol

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

People wre saying Mina looked odd but I think it's only makeup. Yuna DEF gor an unnecessary chin implant tho :(

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Yep, Yuna got something done long ago and pretty sure she did again.
I'm not so sure about Mina being only makeup it's hard to make a comparition with her because we barely see her on MVs, so I'm trying to compare for what I remember when I watched the drama she was on a year ago (All About My Mom) and something definitely is different. Her face is more round now?
But is Hyejeong the one that I don't know if the different hair, contact lenses and makeup is throwing me off or if she did something.

I feel weird talking so much about their PS because I don't mind when idols do it, if it's their decision, but it always makes me sad when they are perfectly fine and probably social pressure made them not feel so well about their own looks U_U

unbelievable how much they've flopped with this single afdjjkl i don't understand. the concepts are good and the songs are nice, what happened korea?

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

They're up against digital monsters so I'm not suprised they're not top 10 but I expected at least top 30

[mountainsea.livejournal.com]

i hope everything will be better once they start promoting on the 5th

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

I dont get it either. The songs themselves are above average, pretty good even, and the concepts are solid.

Reminds me of when Korea let 4minute's Hate flop smh. Maybe these are also too ahead of their time.

On a happier note, happy birthday Seolhyun!!

(Seriously everything about this comeback is so depressing)

[yourethesky.livejournal.com]

i love bb aoa songs but excuse me is so good. idgi :(

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

oh so brave bros was still partly involved in the tracks? thats interesting i thought they werent working with him anymore but i did get a semi-brave bros vibe from the tracks.
well, its nice when my favs chart high but as long as they can keep putting out music that i enjoy im not that worried about chart positions.

[flowerdances.livejournal.com]

seeing all the stuff about them flopping is actually super depressing. excuse me is good and bing bing isn't AS good but i don't think it's terrible (but that's my opinion)... it happens, but it makes me worried about their future. hoping they make a turn around soon because they deserve it imo :/

[epls6.livejournal.com]

wow you are fast, your icon so cute D:

[flowerdances.livejournal.com]

omg thank you!! i downloaded it as soon as i saw it on vlive honestly, i just had to with how artsy/cute it is! wjsn <3

[nekokonneko.livejournal.com]

heart attack charting better than excuse me is living proof that a song's quality can't be judged by sales

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

There is some bad photoshop skills going on with Jimin's picture.
Can FNC stop touching Yuna's face? Hyejeong is starting to look like Yuna now.

I think I like Excuse Me more than Heart Attack (Heart Attack was bit too high pitch for me).
It's sad that they are not doing well when I think the concept and the song is actually okay.
