Will BTS song underperform in Kcharts again since they don’t promote in Korea anymore?

Haven’t seen them in music shows. Is that the reason why butter underperformed?

Grammy-nominated Butter was inarguably one of the biggest songs globally of 2021 and still did well in Korea, too. There’s a whole big world beyond Kpoplandia. 🤯

It's possible.

Oh I see, this is the "hedging our bets" narrative.

Litter the landscape with bad faith low expectations in case they don't go as well as last time.

Antis are waiting for BTS to fail

Butter, the song which bagged multiple SOTYs underperformed?

I guess according to your metric, Next Level flopped

They still won on music shows even they don’t bother with them. They don’t need to put in any effort in Korea to top the charts there anymore. They’ll top them again.
