there's also a ton of videos on the Itzy's YouTube channel. I'm still on the fence over whether Loco is a good song.

i love them with jessi SO much jessi and yuna have such a great dynamic LMAO and you can tell they rlly love each other its too cute

i like loco but i prefer swipe! i think loco’s chorus, yeji’s the part, is rlly good but the “IM GETTIN LOCO COCOCOO” has been stuck in my head even tho its me least favorite part of the song??? loco is rising up the charts tho last i saw it was at #32 on melon and their album sales are also looking rlly good. they’ve been stan twt punching bag this past week im so tired im just ready for them to get their wins and be done w this era and hopefully jyp can rework their concept into something that’s not so stale (it was cute for rheir first year but its too repetitive now)

I would love for them to be on variety more, especially Yuna. they have this youthful energy it's just wasted if they can't show it! similar to what was said in the Rain video, I feel like they need to show something substantial with the "I'm different and confident" and not this "obsessed with love" thing that their past 3 singles have been. it's such a whiplash

yes yuna is hilarious! i hope they get to go on more too
i totally agree with you and i’ve seen a lot of people say that. there has def been a decline in interest since they switched to love songs :/

IA this love/crushing on someone concept just isn’t working. I didn’t mind Not Shy, it was showing they could do something different. But it’s just not working now that they’ve done it every comeback since then.

I really liked their bratty but confident in themselves concept in the beginning. I just wanted variety in lyrics since it’s definitely achievable. So I’m hoping they do more songs that channel their debut but not Dalla Dalla 4.0 basically. I still say they should take some inspiration from Spice Girls!

I don't want them to go the route of gfriend/apink where the whiplash made them go back to the original concepts and took them a while to find their feet again. I felt like if Loco was more of "stop your crazy antics" or "you're going crazy with love" and after Not Shy, it might have worked.

I don't even mind if they do fun concepts like high teen (whatever that genre looks like) or whatever OMG is currently doing. but now it seems like itzy is going blackpink route? I would even take itzy going g-idle route since g-idle are currently on hiatus and might not see another breakthrough

aespa vs Itzy I was already expecting, fans fuel off of competition to usually compensate for problems in their life (…cold but I have to be honest) and it helps breed competition sales so I can see why companies would like it. I’m sad that’s shaping up to be the case since Blackpink vs Twice is so annoying, I was hoping new gen could avoid it. Plus I see some aespa fans following Blinks example which is concerning.

But the Itzy vs Twice fans is just really bizarre to me, as someone who likes both groups. I guess it’s a worry that one group won’t get priority, but that concern is with the company and these divisions JYPE does, and not the girls themselves. But idk I’ve enjoyed JYP girl groups since Wonder Girls and I enjoy the interactions between them. So I noticed with Twice comebacks Itzy fans going after them and now Twice fans do it to Itzy. It’s very what are these kids doing lol. I’m ok if someone doesn’t like one over the other, that’s completely normal. But these kids got some intense feelings that aren’t particularly healthy.

LMAO not cold at all when it is the truth.
omg aespa fans are such wannabe blinks. it's so crazy to me that sm got their knock off blackpink (i love aespa btw) along with the same fans. this pitting girl groups thing is gonna be a never-ending cycle till the end of kpop times because it benefits the companies.

i changed it to include all stan twitter because it was also stray kids and nct fans going after itzy! midzys who hate twice are annoying preteens who usually are also stanning blackpink, and when it comes to once hating itzy, from what i''ve seen it's just resentment because itzy gets bigger budgets for their mvs? so yeah pretty much just fans placing their anger in the wrong direction. it makes me sad because i love them both like pls... lets direct our anger to the true enemy, STRAY KIDZ!!! (i'm half joking lol)

"Payday"

Ryujin, I feel you.

I like parts of Loco, but can't listen to the whole of it.

Girls need a proper break out hit.

i like loco but there are other songs on the album that i like way more, lol. i've not been feeling the performances at all; the only ones selling it this time imo are ryujin and yeji.
