I KNEW you guys would love Back to the City! So many of us were wondering why it wasn't the title track. It really is magical. You HAVE to check out their live stage for it when you get the chance! https://youtu.be/4IG4qe40_eQ

Christian

Everglow just had a comeback after 1 year and 8 months titled ‘Slay’. Would love to see you react to it 💜

bravemoomoo

Wah I'm so happy you checked Keplers album out!!

SyrupEatingPancake

please, please, please! react to the comeback stages!! Especially Back to the City, you can really see all the girls have fun :) + the choreo is great

Annika

PD PLS CHECK OUT THE BACK TO THE CITY PERFORMANCE FROM THE CB SHOW!!

excellen

Like I said before Lovestruck is my favorite album from them. Felt that all the songs were super cohesive with the "lovestruck" theme. A shame that since a lot of the reactions to giddy were luckwarm a lot of people will not be checking out their b-sides. Now I will keep suggesting for you guys to check out 2 things: 1) LVLY Dance Practice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQXRfiEh3e0 2) Back to the City Live Stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4IG4qe40_eQ Since you guys really liked those songs. edit: the one harmonizing in falsetto with Hikaru rapping in Happy Ending was Chaehyun!

“Why does back to the city not sound boring, since Keplers vocals are not very different” (in my opinion) it’s because, it’s the first time you hear the other members outside of the same 3/4 singing. Think majority of Kepler fans and even Kepler members themselves said they all liked BTTC better than Giddy. This is 100% keplers best album but WakeOne has really just ruined this group. Their sales and streams go down every comeback and less and less people are tuning in. I think ZB1 has already been on more variety shows, magazines and music shows then Kepler has been in their entire career already. Very upsetting since only a couple months are left and most of the members future careers are a ? since they are not being promoted well at all. As a hiyyih stan I was extremely happy with her amount of lines for BTTC, WHY, and Happy Ending (idk if WakeOne finally said “fine we will let her sing” or what but I’ll take what I can at this rate bc I’m desperate). Kepler are suppose to have their comeback next month and I hope Hiyyih gets lines in their title track this time instead of just a random rap line and adlibs. Hiyyih does work with a freelance vocal teacher he posts about her on his Instagram before and captioned it as “one day everyone will know how much effort you’ve put into this! and your skill!” The vocal teacher is aware, her family is aware, Hiyyih herself is aware that she doesn’t get much out of this group so she does everything she can during her down time, to improve and promote herself.

thank you for checking out their lovestruck album, one of my fav albums this year! people have already mentioned lvly and back to the city bonus drops id like to add their happy ending performance they also did for their comeback show: https://youtu.be/mFPW50AOA4A

I'll always be disappointed by how the company didn't made 'Back to the City' the tiltle track, that's best KEP1ER SONG for sure.

Jesse

PD everglow is back!!! Can’t wait for the reaction

Nell ♡

hii pd i was wondering if u were gonna check 8turns debut and their first comeback. they're pretty good. seok Matthew from zb1 was supposed to debut with them but got cut out. they're alsi from mnh ent and have alot of predebut dance videis that webt viral just like ateez's predubt dance videos. they're probably under the name mnh boys

Darkqueen

Thank you for checking out the lovestruck album. I feel like every comeback kep1er continues to level up regardless of whether its widely recognized or not and I will continue to give them their flowers while they are still together. Since you had a transcendent reaction to happy ending, they performed it at their comeback show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFPW50AOA4A

Just got to your final thoughts so I'm posting again with mine. I do think Wakeone does not know how to get the full potential of all members. I do like their title tracks....but I don't LOVE them, you know what I mean? Their b-sides are great but it does feel they don't have a clear direction on what to do with them sound wise and image wise and I don't know if with the time they have left they can finally course correct and do things right. That's why I love lovestruck the most since it finally felt they had some clear vision concept wise. But what frustrates me the most is that even if Wakeone is not really helping picking not the most suitable title tracks, NOTHING justifies the strong negative reaction they get from a lot of the kpop community with people saying that all their songs are bad like it killed their dogs or something or that the girls are bad singers. Taste is subjective and constructive criticism is fine but the way people talk about their music and the group itself is to the point that the girls themselves said that all of them were anxious before the giddy comeback and we all presume is because they were afraid of the reactions. Afraid to the point Mashiro said that she cried when she read the positive reactions under the Back to City performance on Youtube. I love Kep1er and I'm trying to enjoy whatever we can get with the time they have now. But if Wakeone is incappable of untapping their potential in the remaining time they got I just hope all the girls can go to better and bigger things after all this.

Thank you for checking the album out. Kep1er is that one group for me that I always tell people that there is SO MUCH more to them than just their title tracks. I agree with most comments here that Wakeone doesn't seem to know how big Kep1er would've been if they only utilize their talent and actually start giving them title tracks that the genpub would've listened more. It is such a shame because they are one of the most talented groups I know and they have such amazing b-sides but people wouldn't recognize that because title track is the only thing that matters to most of them. They only have less than a year (correct me if I'm wrong) to their contract and I do hope their talent and hardwork will not be put to waste. Very much hoping for a world tour because I would love to see them atleast once before they part ways.

Wakeone absolutely fumbled the bag with Kep1er. I know people nowadays like to pretend that they were always "flopping", but Kep1er had so much hype and fandom power behind them when they debuted. Then Wakeone sent them to Queendom 2, which in the first place a temporary group already formed by a survival show didn't need to go to. But that show really was the beginning of the end IMO — fandom infighting, attacks from other bigger fandoms, the girls getting demoralised with every round. The girls got close to nothing from that show and all their momentum died off. It makes me so angry because it's clear that Wakeone never cared about them from the start. They were always meant to be an experiment for ZB1. It shows in how little effort they put into Kep1er's promotions and design and planning while still insisting on working them dry (they have the most insane back to back schedules in different countries). As a Chaehyun bias I get particularly mad thinking about how many times she's been hospitalised for exhaustion; and that's not even counting the fact that Hiyyih and Youngeun had to return to work so quickly after the passings of their respective family members. It's even worse because Wakeone clearly knows what fans want them to do. They gave a fair line distribution in BTTC and all their other bsides, so why are they so inconsistent on the title tracks? They seem almost insistent on ruining the group, and it sucks. Kep1er has one of the biggest wasted potentials in all of kpop.

yeah, it really sucks. they have less than a year left of their contract and at this point, I'm just waiting to see what the girls do after. such an iconic debut and summer comeback just for the momentum to slow down so fast😕

P ✮

agree with everyone saying to check out the comeback show stages AND the LVLY dance prac !!

>>115611792

omfg yes. I always see people who stan kep1er getting hate PURELY bc they stan kep1er ............. and the reason for the hate is always bc they just don't like their title tracks. it's so insanely unreasonable. the fact they're one of the most hated on groups I've ever seen is weird as hell.

Sarah 세라

Thanks for the listening party PD! Though I don’t understand why you said hiyyih doesn’t get enough lines because she did rank 3/7 for the vocalists for this album distibution?

Joy
>>115625656

Well if you look over keplers entire discography she’s ranked 9th place. Hiyyih shines in 3/5 songs for the first time ever in a Kepler album. From their debut including ALL her adlibs she has gotten: First impact: 1 minute and 5 seconds out of 19 minutes Doublast: 1 minute and 20 seconds out of 17 minutes Troubleshooter: 1 minute and 10 seconds (56 seconds without adlibs) out of 16 minutes Lovestruck: 1 minute and 32 seconds out of 15 minutes Since debut line placement wise out of 9 members: First impact: 8th place Doublast: 9th place Troubleshooter: 7th place Lovestruck: 6th place So as you can see she has never been at the top in any regards looking over Kepler as a whole. Kepler’s songs are not very vocally challenging, outside of Chaehyun and Youngeun 4 members are around the same level followed by yeseo, hikaru, and Xiaoting. It’s just that WakeOne plays favorites since debut and continues to do so.

stylesniklaus

to say that kep1er is being mistreated is an understatement… it’s honestly tiring to see how bad they are treated compared to ZB1… the budget, the team around them, something as ridiculous as birthday cakes and photoshoot, … the number of concert, shows they did compared to the girls is enormous. it’s so sad to see, even today at kcon: kep1er comeback is in September, we still have NOTHING, no date, no poster, no pre order link, no film, and today for ZB1, a comeback spoiler and a film for NOVEMBER?? it’s so infuriating to see and i can’t wait for kep1er to be out of wake one, where they aren’t exploited to the point of going to the hospital, having bruises all over their body, not enough time to grieve (youngeun lost HER FATHER)…

Sarah 세라
>>115625656

I’m not talking about old albums. I’m talking about this album specifically. She’s 6th but she’s above other vocalists xiaoting yeseo and yujin but genuinely I don’t see people talking about how these girls don’t get enough lines either

Bina

Omg PD I totally get what you mean by Hiyyih is an gigantic diamond in the rough. Right now I can't but be disappointed we get so less of her and w1 doesn't give her her dues, but I honestly think after kep1er she's gonna pop off. Telling you now, with her popularity and infamy in the kpop community itself and if she gets the right company that are willing to promote and work with her and train her more she could be so big.

Joy
>>115625656

1) xiaoting is not a vocalist, hence why she barely gets lines but to make up for that she is pretty much center of the group and does all the dance breaks for their comebacks and award shows. 2) yeseo in my opinion is a sub vocal especially when they make her sing in that high pitched nasal tone instead of her natural voice. Plus Yeseo has been given multiple opportunities to shine in all their bsides especially “Levoya9e” which was the promoted bside for doublast. She was also chosen as the vocal rep for Queendom stage for the finale. 3) Yujin is a member that gets the short end of the stick. WakeOne doesn’t use her for much of anything because once again she is not a company favorite. People talk about Hiyyihs line (not specifically talking about PD here) because she is the most known member in the group. When the most popular and well known member of the group gets paid dust every comeback people are going to talk about HER not the others, because all they know is Hiyyih and not her members. Just how yesterday they performed Mr Mr and Hiyyih was given 6 seconds of lines while 4 others sang the entire song. Her name was trending higher than Kepler because people were shocked that the most in demand girl at kcon got paid dust AGAIN.

LYLY

i’m not gonna elaborate on this but you are absolutely right about wakeone managing and marketing for kep1er being absolutely horrendous. i’m 100% sure if they had debuted under a different label that knew what to do with their talent, they would’ve been able to keep the hype they had after girls planet

Sarah 세라
>>115625656

This is not about popularity though? The lines you’re given should never be based on a member’s popularity. I’m just saying that she has a decent number of lines in the most recent album especially for a sub-vocal and is pretty much almost the same amount as Mashiro so I don’t understand people (mainly her solo stans) complaining about her not getting enough

Joy
>>115625656

If I'm remembering correctly Kepler has no positions besides the leaders. So I'm not sure where the label of subvocal for Hiyyih is coming from. Just because the company doesn't give her lines, doesn't mean her capability is only that of a subvocal (everyone's own opinion, however, is different regarding positions and ranking the members in any category) I'm not saying lines should be based on popularity but I'm explaining that people only talk about Hiyyih getting no lines because she is the most popular and known outside of the Kepler fanbase.

Sarah 세라
>>115625656

No positions but you just said that xiaoting is not a vocalist though imo she is? Okay people outside the fandom can say what they want but the number of lines for vocalists on this album was chaehyun > yeongeun > shiro > hiyyih > yeseo > yujin > xiaoting so I don’t know why placing middle is bad considering the top 3 are very strong vocalists

Sarah 세라
>>115625656

Btw I like kepler and agree that hiyyih did not have many lines in the beginning. I’m just saying that she did get lines this comeback, and nothing more than that. Don’t really want to argue further on this but I respect your opinion.

Dylan Bui

Yessss finally the reaction 💕🔥

Diana

I completely agree about Hiyyih. I also really love that line of hers in Back to the City, it's kind of my favorite part of the song. Ever since Girls' Planet I've believed that she just needs a little...something. A little more help, more training, more confidence, you name it. Like she has always had that IT factor that screams idol for me, she just needs a little more of that something to pop off. I believe that she can go a long way, maybe even as a soloist after Kep1er? Under a label that actually cares

Jesse

I really hope you can react to the live stage for Back to the City! Such a fun and cute dance and it makes me emotional watching 🥺

Bina
>>115625656

I think the xiaoting is not a vocalist comes from the fact that unfortunately xiaoting is more a dancer and rapper (evidenced throughout her perfomancrs in kepi and during gp999), and is not vocally good or atleast isn't vocally good live especially compared to everyone else in the group. Hiyyih and members like mashiro, yujin and dayeon are all better vocalists and you could consider them more "vocalists" then you could xiaoting due to their ability vs hers -even with no set positions. At the end of the day it comes down to wakeone not utilising the girls for what they're good at esp Hiyyih, Mashiro and Yeseo.

Sarah 세라
>>115625656

Saying xiaoting is not vocally good is a stretch to suit your narrative but ok whatever

nia

thank u guys so much for checking the album out, loved the reaction and all the discussions (dont wanna get too much into all the sad mistreatment stuff since i went into it before in my comment on your zb1 listening party, but yeah thank u for giving the girls and their music a chance) if you ever feel like checking out some more stages for these songs: - dance practice for lvly! i think it would solidify your opinion about it deserving to be a title track, veeeery unique and cool choreography - live stages for back to the city (especially the one from their lovestruck showcase~) also not from this album but i really think you would love a bside from their fly by japanese album - tOgether fOrever imo its actually one of their most unique songs and generally also one of the best ones from their entire discography + the title track from that album - i do! do you? very funky and cute mv and an amazing song, i think their japanese discography is fun as hell and since i remember you enjoyed wing wing (their previous japanese title) i think you’d love these two as well

nia

ALSO i think you might be excited to hear that youngeun has revealed the next comeback will be a more mature/elegant concept! lets all pray wakeone make a good pick for the title thats unique and makes them stand out and actually give them a music video that pushes their boundaries etc this time around!
