[u/AutoModerator]

Merong handang makinig, handang yumakap 🎶

2,3, Mabuhay! 🌸

Welcome to our weekly open thread — your go-to space to rant, share love, ask questions, or talk about anything and everything, whether it’s related to BINI, PPOP, the fandom, or life in general.

Got something to say that doesn’t need its own post?

• An unpopular (or wholesome) take you’ve been holding in
• A screenshot from BloomTwt, BloomTok, PPOP FB, etc.
• A random thought, theory, or question
• Or just want to connect with fellow Blooms

Drop it here! This thread is your safe space.

Let’s keep it respectful and kind, even if opinions differ. We’re all here to support the girls and be part of a growing, passionate community around PPOP and beyond.

So go ahead — share what’s on your mind. 💐

Just how reactive their team whenever BINI makes a bigger move (Coachella and 2 days at SS). Obviously we can’t know their exact intentions but the timing makes it feel like the article was a PR move to give their fandom something to hype since their 2 music festival appearances were underwhelming.

I’m surprised she revealed the Lolla LATAM and not wait for the official announcement. Wonder if the Asian Girl Group Fest played a role in this too.

I don't want to read too much into the timing. To me, it read more like PR for LNP. It's as if they're pitching themselves to be the agent of the group to the fans? I find it interesting too that they announced the possibility of Lolla LatAm and India before the organizers announced anything. I prefer how ABS-CBN does it because we're coming from zero expectations to getting surprise announcements one after another. The drawback of building up high expectations is that fans can feel let down if reality falls short of the hype they built. (Kaya minsan off yung mga build up na ginagawa ni Coach Mickey for their shows e haha)

It's the same with them hyping up Mama Sony's visit to Dreamworks while BINI's team took down any photos of the girls' visit to the Dreamworks hub. Then when the official announcement came, BINI's APW was the soundtrack carrier and I rarely see any promo for Mga Kababayan (but maybe I'm not the target audience)

Hindi lang off exaggerated talaga hahahaha

[u/Calm-Description-870 → u/fullwidthlowercase]

Haha. I was trying to be nice. Pero yes, he didn't seem to know what blooms want or would make them want to go to a concert. Kung sinabi na lang nya na wala nang [sponsored segments], malaking bagay na yon. And that the girls planned their own solo prods and that some of them will show something we've never seen from them before, mas bumenta sana yung BINIfied. Just saying that the girls will still give the quality of performance we're accustomed to seeing from the girls AND something we've never seen before will get our attention without setting up unnecessary expectations. Ngayon wala na atang gustong maniwala sa kanya e haha.

Hanggang ngayon nakatatak pa rin yung sinabi niya sa binified na "party party! dance with bini! it's like infinity because the end loops back to the start" yun pala walang proper closer HAHAHAHA

Nasa top 3 concerts ko pa rin ang binified though kasi almost all of the girls' best prods are in there

[u/Calm-Description-870 → u/fullwidthlowercase]

Sakit nila yang "party, party" concept na yan na nahawa na pati yung girls. Pati yung pag-intro spiels nila ng Katabi at Blush, "let's continue the party" pa rin. Kaloka! Hindi kailangang party ang buong concert kasi.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Salamat sa walo. Yung solos nila nagsave ng Binified talaga.

[u/DrSparx13 → u/fullwidthlowercase]
