Interesting! And it's insane to read about this because didn't they debut not too long ago? [ Yes, I did a bit of research on them a while back... ]

It seems their label is aggressively trying to market them in the US and maybe other Western territories already by doing it so quickly!

I'm happy and scared for them. Warner will use it's size to bully them and their company... We want k-pop. Not Americanized bullshit.

Granted SM is bigger and more established than Fifty Fifty's company and Ik you're not a fan of aespa's music, but I don't think the stuff they've done with signing with Warner US is really "americanized". Their one English song, Life's Too Short, is sweet and easy listening but still identifiably kpop imo. Based on that, I want to say Warner has a decent enough track record going for them at least.

It's better to wait and see what comes of this. The reason why Fifty Fifty managed to get a deal like this so quickly was because of the rise of Cupid internationally, and if they are smart, they'll stick with a similar kind of style and I do think the management of Fifty Fifty is looking out for them thus far and probably wouldn't sign a crappy deal.

But again, we'll wait and see.

All very true! Those girls are amazing. I want them to succeed. To often American companies, especially large ones have a bad habit of the "this is what American's want so we have to do that". K-Pop really doesn't do well like that. I shall hope and see.
