RE: Do acts like SVT, TXT, SKZ, Treasure, NCT, etc

I'll only speak on NCT because that's the only group I feel confident enough to talk about in this situation:

NCTzens don't collectively stay on top of every unit, there are fans of different sub-units, and usually those fans spend mostly on their respective units (NCTzens here are more invested in all of the units than a lot of other NCTzens which i guess can throw people off.). Because of the different sound each sub-unit puts out, they pretty much have a different following and along with that- the separate units actually don't come back as much as you would expect them to... NCT Dream comes back once a year with a comeback and then a repackage roughly two months later and then goes back to whatever they're doing, and recently NCT 127's been doing the same. WayV hasn't come back since early 2021. so i guess you could say its not for hype, otherwise SM would focus on each unit more.

if i don't make any sense don't drag me through the dirt. be nice, this is my first actual effort in trying to reply to an anon thread..

Do acts like SVT, TXT, SKZ, Treasure, NCT, etc

have to comeback so very often because they will lose hype and sales if they take a long hiatus or gap between releasing albums?

Jun 1st 2022

yeah NCT units have been regularly having 1 or 2 comebacks a year for a while. For several years NCT Dream just had one a year. NCT 127 went 16 months between Neo Zone and Sticker

Treasure also had like a year between My Treasure and Jikjin.

It's just another case of kpop fans arbitrarily deciding when it is convenient to count all NCT units together and when it's not.

Sales and achievements? ThEy ArE sEpArAtE gRoUpS

Frequency of comebacks? Suddenly all the units are just one group that comebacks all the time because they'd lose hype otherwise. And also they have quantity over quality

tbh they're just grouping every popular group so anything this seems like them trying to prove that a certain group is the best

Ah, hell.

Someone please shake me because I must be hallucinating that a Once of all people is calling out another group on quantity of music. I have no beef with Twice but damn, people in glass houses.

Also people on AKP: “NCT shouldn’t be grouped as one unit.”

Proceeds to group NCT as one unit.

Make it make sense.

NCT 127 released one album, one repack and a Japanese album last year.

That’s not a lot.

NCT Dream released one album and one repack. That’s also not a lot.

Bless their hearts, poor WayV only released 1 mini. That’s definitely not a lot.

Then there was an all-unit album.

Maybe AKP Czennies give a false perception because in general we stan all sub-units, but that’s not the way it is in the Wild Wild West of NCTzens, so a large chunk are only consuming music from their fave sub-unit.

I don’t see other groups with multiple sub-unit releases getting people as stressed out as NCT sub-unit releases do as “sO mAnY reLeAsEs” where people seem to get IT’S A SUB-UNIT but NCT main character wbk.

But I digress.

To answer the question, there’s not a huge quantity - dammit, I wish I did get two brand new 127 albums a year but I get like one. *sad trombone* and the quality is exceptional.

I like their music and think it’s great. If you’re not interested in the group’s music, it really doesn’t matter how many releases they put out.

Quote from Minazuki

Define long hiatus

Stray Kids had a 11 months hiatus from september 2020 to august 2021

that's pretty long i think for kpop standards.
