`Stellar's Marionette Crisis and My Opinion`

Stellar's video for "Marionette" was a bit ago, but my cousin's still been complaining about the chaos, and it's getting annoying, so I've come to my senses, and I'll reply to the rough music video. Yep, the MV could've done without a few shots, and it's like the worst MV ever, I know. But do I blame the girls? No. The song is excellent for a normal K-Pop song. I actually really like the song, and I have no problem with it, except I have to find the lyric video everytime to listen to the song (which I don't think is a problem because I can further enhance my Korean-speaking skills). But do I really blame the company, either? That I do not know. People are being positive. Those who don't blame the girls blame the company, but I don't know who to blame. Yes, we hate their company for making a comeback with...this concept. But, have you've seen Rocket Girl, Study, and UFO...or even heard of it? If you have, congrats, you've explored the K-Pop world and into the not-so-popular-groups (no offence). But, if you haven't...do you get my point? The girls aren't in so much trouble because the company made them do this. If you were to get fired OR to do a y and rough concept that you do not like but you still had to for the sake of your job, what would you choose? If you wanted to get fired, you're pretty brave; but rememeber that you already practiced years for this job, and you actually made it pass the auditions. To pass an option like this, you're a cool rebel! I actually feel bad for these girls! To know that people actually hate your guts as you perform the song that everyone hates on stage with the awkward -rubbing dance (also speaking that M! Countdown and other music shows actually had to tell you to CENSOR the dance is also pretty embarrasing), and no one's cheering for you? :( Sad face. But, then we think it's the company's fault. They actually HAD to save a group rather than to disband them. Rocket Girl, Study, and UFO are fun, lively music videos, and if you're having a sad day, it will cheer you right up! And when you realize it, the songs AREN'T so good. Marionette is also a good song, but the company needed to push it all out there and give all they got, so they decided to...put this in there. See? As you complain, you're giving them views (this is their highest viewed video...ever. With about three million views), and attention. ATTENTION. That's what they want, or at least I think, right? (Not.) And this is speaking for the majority of K-Pop bands, rookie groups have to give all they got there now. Remember when "Gee" and "Fire" went out? (By GG and 2NE1) Fire wasn't as cute-sie type like Gee, but 2NE1 didn't take it to extreme like Stellar, either. Saying "oppa", doing aeygo, and being cute is OUT now for rookie groups, just warning. Girls' Generation is a bit grown-up from before now, and so fans understand, and they come out with a fierce but-not-so-over-the-top concept like Stellar's. If all you want is to be cute for debut, that's not going to get you anywhere. And I'm not just comparing Stellar, AOA for example. Well, they didn't take it to max., but they're pretty rookie since they've debuted and BAM! They come out with Miniskirt, but no one complained so hard about it (I don't think so). I'd say if Stellar started like they did with Marionette, no one would say such bad things to them, but also they wouldn't get much attention if they kept repeating the same concepts again. That's all I want to say today. If you want to argue, go right ahead, but I got my points out right here. Annyeong.
