 ITZY's title track is called 'Loco'















There are some people who think it looks like Lee Hyori's hair during Refund Sisters era

theqoo

-This is my favorite hairstyle on herㅋㅋㅋ

-Her hair looks so cool and it suits her really well...

-I love her hairstyle and makeup here but her outfit looks so f*cking weird...

-Seems like the stylists are doing experiments on Ryujin now since fans complained about Yeji being the 'experimental' member previously...

-Whoa... Ryujin makes my heart skip a beat...

-She suits that hairstyle really well... It makes her look outstanding, just like her hairstyle during Wannabe era...

-With Ryujin's face... I think she will look beautiful no matter what she does...

-This is the worst hairstyle, makeup, and outfit I have ever seen on Ryujin...

-I think she'd look so much better if it wasn't for her blue eyeshadow...

-It looks unique and pretty, though??

-Why are there holes on her denim jacket?? I don't like it... Now that I take a closer look, what she wears inside is just as weird...

-What do you mean? She totally rocks this look. She looks really cool...

-Ryujin is really beautiful but I hope the stylists would stop doing experiments on herㅠㅠ

-This look only looks cool because it's Ryujin... She's really beautiful, but the outfits and the hairstyle are a little bit 'too much'. Not to mention her eyeshadow.

-If I copied this look, I probably would look like a druggie...

-Ryujin looks cool no matter what...

ITZY Ryujin's styling for Loco gets divided opinions

, ,

 Mnet girl group survival program, Girls Planet 999, started out with 33 participants from each country, South Korea, China, and Japan. Up until the second elimination, only 27 of them remain. (The final debut line up consists of 9 members)

There are 3 members who are most likely to debut

1. Kawaguchi Yurina


2. Sakamoto Mashiro

3. Ezaki Hikaru

You can clearly see it from the result of the votes
#2. Kawaguchi Yurina. Total votes: 4,661,720 (Korean votes: 271,551; Global votes: 1,991,757)
#3. Sakamoto Mashiro. Total votes: 4,578,894 (Korean votes: 214,579; Global votes: 2,288,333)
#4. Ezaki Hikaru. Total votes: 4,176,316 (Korean votes: 214,409; Global votes: 2,012,295)

However, the most popular Japanese participant, Kawaguchi Yurina, is actually getting negative reactions from Japan


(NB: I don't speak Japanese and the Korean translation from Google translate is a little bit off. Correct me if I'm wrong)
I like Yurina, but she never speaks in Korean during her speech. It's okay to speak in broken language as long as she speaks in Korean even if it's just one word, right??

(NB: questions about how Yurina gets a lot of votes from South Korea)

She's not working hard and doesn't learn Korean, but how come she becomes the center? I'm so sad.

'I agree. The other Chinese or Japanese trainees at least say 'Thank you for voting me' in Korean, and then continues their speech using their native language'
'This bothers me too. She doesn't have to speak fully in Korean. She could try to memorize one or two sentences to show people how she wants to learn Korean. Maybe she's busy practicing for the mission or simply doesn't have the time to learn Korean, but I think it'll affect her popularity. 
'It's a program that includes three different countries, so they don't have to speak in Korean and there will be translators who would interpret what they're saying. She should try to at least learn..'

Kawaguchi Yurina is known for being not talented in Japan and uses poor strategies to promote herself, which makes people don't like her. However, she's really popular overseas. Maybe it's because of her looks. But Korean idols are not only about the looks, but also the talents. So, I think it'd be better if the ones who get to debut are not only beautiful but also talented. 

If Kawaguchi Yurina gets to debut, I wouldn't like the group, so this needs to stop. Her target is to become a Kpop Idol, but she doesn't even speak Korean. The other trainees have admired Kpop and made efforts to be in this program. 

The conclusion:
1. She wants to be a Kpop idol, but she doesn't speak Korean at all?
2. Don't Koreans prioritize skills before anything else? She's considered talented?

These are the kind of reactions Japanese netizens show to Kawaguchi Yurina. As you can see, Japanese viewers are very clueless about how she's really popular in South Korea and other countries. She's currently getting a lot of hate in Japan. 

+ A little bit of background.

Sakamoto Mashiro is a JYP ex-trainee and talented. She's also very fluent in Korean and has great leadership as seen in the show. Therefore she gets positive reactions from the viewers.

Ezaki Hikaru was judged for her looks at first and got a lot of hate because of it. But she succeeds in showing her talent on the stage and the viewers start to see her in a different light. And people think she's getting cuter and cuter as time passes by. Besides that, she also speaks Korean.

Kawaguchi Yurina is very popular in South Korea and other countries, only Japanese netizens seem to dislike her.

theqoo

-I like Yurina but now that I think about it, I never heard her speaking Korean while that JYP ex-trainee and Hikaru keeps on speaking in Korean...

-Oh, seems like Japanese netizens really care about their Korean skills. Well, speaking Korean is a must if you want to be a Kpop idol...

-But I have to admit that Yurina is really beautiful...

-I dropped this show because my pick was eliminated

-Koreans don't even watch this show...

-It's fascinating how Japanese netizens dislike her because she doesn't learn how to speak Korean...

-In order to become a Kpop Idol, you have to, at least, know basic Koreanㅋㅋㅋ How are you going to understand the lyrics if you don't speak Korean?

-I was wondering what kind of show this is, so I looked it up and the rating is only 0.8%. Seems like Koreans don't even watch this show.

-Yurina is beautiful, but in terms of talent, I think Mashiro and Hikaru are superior...

-Do people even watch this show...?

-I immediately understand why she's popular right at the first sight, though?ㅋㅋ She's beautiful...

-Whoa... Mashiro is really pretty...

-Mashiro speaks more Korean than Japanese, maybe 1:9?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-She's pretty... Why are people hating her?? I should start voting for her from now on

If they're not planning to have kids, they can just date. Why do they get married if they eventually would divorce, making themselves divorcees?

There are two couples I know that got divorce easily. They told me they got married for nothing. 

There are a lot of people I know that got married but have no plans to have kids. What do you think is the biggest reason they have to get married then?

'Do you have kids?'
'No, I don't have any plans to have kids'

'This is the reason why our country has low birth rate'
'What year is it now? Why do you still talk like that!'

'I mean, it's not like I have kids to increase the rate of this country's birth rate'
'Let's listen to Kim Eana's explanations'


'As a couple, maybe we will never experience the happiness of having kids'
'But on the contrary, those couples (who have kids) will never experience the pleasure of living together with your partner without any kids'
'How long have you been married?' '12 years'


-I don't have any plans to get married. But if I ever get married, I'm planning to have no kids in the future.

-Because we don't get married just to have kids. We get married with the hope that we could live the rest of our life with that person. There are also people who get married for their safety or validation from society. For the latter one, if they ever have kids, the kids will only be viewed as a tool to them and I really don't like the thought of that. 

-If I ever get married, I would save our money and use it to travel across the world with my partner. Maybe we would try out great hotels, great foods, etc. I just want to create beautiful memories with my partner. Besides, I don't have any money to raise a kid. 

-Because people don't get married just to have kids. They just want to spend the rest of their life with someone they love. 

-Honestly, I can relate to her at some point. I don't have any plans to have kids, I don't want to get married. I just want to date and spend my life with the person I love. However, I'm starting to think to get married just to avoid this judgement.

-Because until they actually get married, they think they would have a great and happy marriage

Why do people get married if they're not planning to have kids?

Let's live moderately,

just like Jisung who's smiling brightly despite the fact that his phone was broken by the other member


Let's live moderately,
just like Chenle who doesn't care if his screen guard is damaged

Let's live moderately,
just like Jungwoo who still uses bumper phone cases even though it's clearly useless

Let's live moderately,
just like Jaehyun who's still smiling brightly despite the fact that the edges of his screen guard look like it was eaten by a rat

Let's live moderately,
just like Taeil who doesn't mind using any type of phone case, as long as it fits his phone

Let's live moderately,
just like Johnny who still uses his screen guard even though it's too big for his phone

just like Mark who doesn't care the size of the screen guard as long as he has one

instiz

-Jung Jaehyun doesn't look like the person who would let the edges of his screen guard to look like thatㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's very cute of him...

-It seems to be uncomfortable to have a screen guard that's bigger than the size of your phone. How do you manage to carry your phone around?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Mark's is the funniest oneㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Johnny is really amazingㅋㅋㅋㅋ It looks uncomfortable to carry around his phone like thatㅋㅋ

-Don't you think Mark and Johnny should swap their screen guards?ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Johnny's phone never fails to make me laughㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-How does Johnny use his phone on daily basisㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What's wrong with them all?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-As expected, my boys are very Neo...ㅎ

Let's live moderately, just like NCT members' phones

I was contacted around October last year. The person said, 'We're looking for models for body-painting. You will only be wearing panties and nipple stickers. You will only film for 3 days. The fee is around 5M KRW (~4,232USD)'. Honestly, I thought about it because it pays me 5M KRW for just 3 days of filming. But I was concerned because I was only able to wear panties and nipple stickers. I didn't even know what the filming was for, so I rejected it. Because, you know... Being naked to film something you have no idea for doesn't sit right with me. Turns out the offer that I rejected last year was Squid Game, which now ranks as #1 show! I could've starred in the show, what a pity. If there's any other opportunity, I'll gladly accept it!

theqoo

-The scene with the VIP members was honestly... old-fashioned.

-Hul?? I had no idea those were real peopleㅋㅋㅋI thought they were mannequins

-Whoa... 5M KRW in just 3 days?? I want to do that...

-They should've explained in detail when they offer the job. If I were her, I would've rejected it too.

-I can't believe they actually use real people for that? I thought those were mannequins...

-I thought they were mannequins since they seem to not be moving at all...

-Very unprofessional of them to offer the job without actually explaining it in detailsㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Hul... I didn't even know they existed in those scenes...

-I think it would be very frustrating to get the painting off your body...

-Oh... I thought to myself, 'They look like real people', when I saw the scene. I didn't expect them to be real people...

-They should've just used mannequins instead...

-I watched the show and I don't have any memories of seeing them in that scene...

-Crazy... So those were real people???

-It was very uncomfortable for me to watch because I knew they were real people...

-So this is how production teams cast supporting characters??

The simple outfits make their choreography can be seen more clearly

These are the outfits that became the trending posts before



Their outfits looked chaotic and there were some useless skin exposure which made their choreography can't be seen clearly



These outfits, on the contrary, make their physical figures more outstanding

Of course, there's no way they would wear those outfits on stage. I think the stylists should at least make their outfits look like they're from the same concept.

theqoo

-Whoa... Yeji looks so freaking cool. All of ITZY's members are great dancers.

-Did Leejung create this choreography too?? I somehow can feel her vibes in the first gif...

-Can someone please tell me the name of the girl with long black pants? I think I'm in love

-I personally like their stage outfits for this comeback!

-I honestly like this song and choreography more than their previous song. Just like what the OP said, it'd be so much better if the stylists put more effort into the girls' outfits

-These outfits are so much better. They look clean and simple.

-We're not even asking them to dress like that on stage. We just want them to dress, at least, as simple as that for their performances. That way we can see the choreography clearly.

-I think out of all ITZY's eras, this one has the worst hairstyle, makeup, and outfitsㅠㅠㅠ

-ITZY is a group of great performers, therefore they don't need outfits that are too fancy. Please dress them in simple outfits, please... Please...

-What about dressing like that for their performance?? It looks really great!

-Whoa... This is the coolest dance practice video I have ever seen. My jaw literally dropped as I watch this video. They're so freaking cool.

-Ryujin hair looks even prettier without any styling... The hairstyling and makeup they do on her makes her stuffy to see...

-Ryujin literally owns the dance floor. She's really amazing.

The thing she's holding in her hand is a beanie

The others SWF Crews at the same time...
What about La Chica, Emma, Rozalin, Leejung, Hyojin Choi, Rian, etc...?









pann
[+924][-137]

1. [+607][-37] I thought she just took off her mask for a while for the pictures, but after watching the video you can see that she went around without wearing a mask...

2. [+566][-46] In her Instagram story, she talked about physical distancing and stuff, didn't she? How come she's not wearing a mask then? Is she a celebrity or what...

3. [+462][-74] What the fuck. I really liked her. Unnie, why do you seem so different out of all sudden?

4. [+313][-5] She said she took it off for the pictures but in the video, you can clearly see that she didn't wear a mask at all. Seems like it's either her mask broke or she didn't have one in the first place. She only covered her nose and lips. 

5. [+272][-32] Why is Emma still using her mask like that?

What is Noze doing, not wearing her mask?

theqoo

-These are the same outfits they had in the MV

-I think Chaeryung's looks the best among all of them

-I think they did Yeji really dirty...

-ITZY's outfits are usually getting better towards the end of their promotionsㅋㅋㅋ And the first weeks are usually the weirdest ones

-The outfits for the two girls on the right look okay, the remaining three's outfits look weird... Especially the one on the most left.

-Chaeryung and Lia's outfits are okay. In fact, it looks prettyㅠㅠ

-I seriously hope they would change their stylists...

-Aren't these the outfits they had in their MV? It looks fine in the MV, though...

-Don't these outfits look pretty? Am I the only one who thinks it looks pretty?

-I personally think these outfits look gorgeous...

-These outfits are just not it... I love ITZY but I think their stylists are doing the girls dirtyㅠㅠㅠ

-Who are their stylists? How do they receive their wages when they do their job poorly like this???

-Why are they always putting weird pants on Yunaㅠㅠ Why would they do that to such a pretty girl?

-These outfits look okay, though... Am I the weird one for thinking so? They look very idol-ish and cute

ITZY's fits for Inkigayo
