Sulli is indeed killing it.
I actually wish she ends up hitching with Choiza as an ultimate fuck you to her haters.
They're all acting to be concerned about her mental health... lmfao. Them hating bitches are just hating coz she's living the life instead of submitting to some idol bullshittery.
This AOA discussion is cathartic for me, as it pretty much mirrors the exact trajectory I've had with them! They are pretty much feel big in name only (and the fact I'm told they are).
Like, I thought I would actually get some sort of inside scoop living here. I assumed someone would sit me down and sort of let me know how I'm doing it 'wrong'. NOPE! Of my entire social circle, the ones that actually like K-pop, none of them actuallt like AOA in the slightest.
It's actually a really interesting phenomenon. AOA is probably the only real group in recent history that is super popular coz of one member. Like I get that Jimin and Choa are good at what they do, but like the entire group, there's other people out there that can rap and sing better than them.
Does that mean they don't deserve the current success? Nah, they deserve it.
But this trajectory is gonna lead them nowhere and imo it's all up to Seolhyun as to whether AOA lives or dies once their contract is up in 2 years.
And my personal opinion on that... it'll be Miss A all over again. I read somewhere that 2016 was the first time AOA actually got paid and it's mostly due to the fact that Seolhyun divided up her income from commercials and whatever solo activities she has with the group. Then pair that up with the unpopular members continually blasting Seolhyun on air, saying they want to be more than popular than her or whatever...
I mean look at this shit:
That smile is a smile that says "Just you wait bitch, you'll be back to working McDonalds in 2019 while I continue to do commercials and shit."
RIP AOA.
Tbh, I really feel bad for Seolhyun though. She's getting hated on constantly from netizens and her members for stupid shit... she's one of the idols that I wish would join up with Sulli and fly middle fingers to everyone else.
