Aespa sales are SUS

Quote from ForgottenSoul

Apparently only 500k came from China so where are the other like 1.1m+ Sales coming from? They dont have the western or JP stats at all to back these sales up so its quite confusing?

Boy groups get these sales by hard mass buying are Aespa fans that hardcore?

A whole of rest of Asia exists? And Gaon is SHIPPED albums. Even if c bars don’t place the orders now these stores will have these albums to buy for the next few weeks and months. Unless gaon reports shipment returns, they are as good as sold.

This isn’t just an aespa thing it’s a kpop thing also true for blackpink and twice and everyone lol

Pre orders are STORE preorders NOT people preorders.

SEA? I always thought kpop had a strong popularity there

Quote from ForgottenSoul

Hanteo are actual sales though right? My point still stands that I just dunno where their sales are coming from.

No it’s not. Hanteo is partial sales. Always has been. Gaon sales are not fake sales can we stop spreading this narrative ffs just because you can’t cope.

It took longer than I thought to start the Illuminati conspiracy theories.

it's only sus to you because you don't want them outselling your faves lol

Quote from ForgottenSoul

Yeah I guess those places dont stream Aespa at all just buy the albums.. Lets see where they chart in those countries.

It’s always been this way for fandom driven groups? Lol. Who asks the same question over and over again.

Quote from ForgottenSoul

They barely buy albums and if Aespa were big in SEA then they would do better view wise on youtube and on those sea spotify?

the views aren't that bad. Not even BTS solos are having huge no. of views lately. But when Girls will start having ads, this talk will be completely irrelevant.

Definitely a desperate coping mechanism and inferiority complex.

Logically it's impossible to SM as public company to fake sales since they have public stockholders and these will be reflected in their financial reports

Then how lisa can sold lot of album? Cause China and Sea is her strength.

It's probably store orders, not a big deal happens all the time.

A group with hits and strong fanbase selling a lot of albums, so shocking

Whether they sell it or not it's not like LSM will give any money to anyone here who arguing. He is too greedy for that

The set up and people invalidate BP sales till this day so why do it with another group?

BP had the views, streams, etc, everything but people still questioned it so even if Aespa had the numbers based on your standard, i think you would still doubt their sales...

I think Aespa will have one of the biggest fandoms for ggs, they sold out their USA thing, they chart super well in Japan and their c fanbase is huge. I think it makes sense.

What must have surprised you was how fast Aespa got these numbers, but as everybody said kpop grew so much these past years that even old groups who didn't pass 400k are now selling 700k.

They are doing great. Their tour will be insane seeing how big their fandom is.

I think all big companies inflate their groups physical sales, specially the ones from 4th gen. Besides USA, Japan, China and Kr, the rest of the world dont really buy albums and aespa has a strong fanbase in only two of these countries so I dont think is surprising if people dont trust their album sales

Quote from alexS

People like to belittle BP's success Mona. Everybody knows this.

Coping at it's best...(I mean worse)

But I also agree that K-pop has grown A LOT.

Them doing great, as a top 4th gen group (not the only one mind you), is not a surprise.

I'm already preparing myself for BP cb bc everything will be a topic, be it good be it bad so yes...

Yes, and they are literally the most popular 4th gen group no? Not just in kpop, but within the gp too so it's not like they are unknown or anything. 4th gen album sales even for supposed nugu groups are surpassing 200k which was a top number for top groups in 2th gen so it's only logical for them to reach higher numbers.

Bp the biggest group in SEA

Quote from quarkie

Real talk: can SM teach me how to make enough money to feed almost 60 idols while also spending so much money making albums and paying rent on the warehouses to store them?

fix my finances, SM Entertainment!

Evading taxes kkkkkkkkkkkkkk I'm joking unless... LSM, watch out! Kkkkkkkkk

nobody is denying that lmao. pretty sure blackpink will have much better sales than this.

Lisa actually has real people followed her. 80 million followers

Who knows. They are competing with fake sales. It’s pretty tiring

Didn’t blinks have a donation drive to bulk buy albums for randoms to boost sales? Can’t really call other groups sales sus there.

Not to be cheeky but can hanteo sale be fraud too?

You know that first day 800k is almost equal to the Album overall sale on hanteo right? Like many people said, read data and sale trend before you comment on thing you don't know.

SM at this point is a charity institution, the way they're faking sales for years just to make the idols feel more successful and happy, LSM is like a dad buying all the cookies his kids are selling
