Oh whoop, totally forgot about the uselessness debate. I am fairly sure you'll agree with this but man I just really hate that entire IDEA, because frankly most groups with "useless" members would not have gotten nearly as far if they didn't have their Yoona or their Sohee or their Sandara Park or whatever. AND SHE IS A DOLL!!
They do use the same producer currently!! They always have. I think he's just burned out or something, I really wish they'd get handed over to someone who'd give them something differently. But yeah ugh Ugly, it seems like they were just trying to emphasize some ephemeral difference between them and "other" girl groups but... :|indeed. BUT YES SM'S SHITTY POP SONGS ARE PERFECT TO MY EARS, even like, that terrible CSJH single that just came out is appealing to me because... idk it was badly meshed together but there was something about it that was still so SM. I once read a comment about how SM basically buys really awful pop songs and makes them mediocre, and idk I loved that because it's pretty true. BUT LIKE, IDK, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THEY SHOULD KEEP DOING WHAT THEY'RE DOING... But ahahah! Their shitty ballads are pretty fun.
Yeah they're pretty boring and generic. BUT OCCASIONALLY!!! But yes exactly, it has a lot to do with like, a traditional Korean beauty standard, and while that's not to say that the other girls aren't beautiful they seem to have a more malleable beauty?! You don't see it as much with Soshi but I feel like in other groups (they also mark it with clothing, like Sulli/Suzy/etc are always in dresses and not pants because those are the members they want to play the role of the cute, traditional asian beauty. But yeah it is kind of wierd!
Hahaha omg I am sorry... returning stuff is just always awkward idk /o\
