With how Aespa sold 1.6M, it just mean that IVE is just going to be another Sistar on their own gens.

    digitpack is going to be a thing in kpop in the 4th gens. However, most group nowaday only have 1 digpack version. Girls and Love Dive is one of those album who sold member's version digipacks.


    However, Aespa managed to sell 1.6M. However, Love Dive only sold 600k.


    Here is some price I took from ktown4u in USD with discounted price some with 19% and 20%.


    lesserafim(sold 400k)

    2 version(normal) - 13.95

    1 digipack - 6.14

    aespa - girls

    digipack(members) - 9.71

    2 version(normal) - 13.52

    Itzy - Checkmate

    5 version mini album - 10.95

    nmixx - AD MARE(sold 300k)

    single album - 8.63

    IVE - Love Dive

    jewel ver.(6 members) - 8.66

    single album - 12.2

    Stayc - We need love

    digipack - 8.63

    single album - 10.37



    Both Aespa and Love Dive have members digipack vers, and Aespa have 2 versions and Love Dive have 3 versions.

    that mean Aespa only have 7 version while Love Dive have 9 versions.


    If nmixx and lesserafim decide to have members digipacks and 2-3 versions. How much can they sell?

    I honestly can see them reaching at least 800k if they used this strategies for their next comeback and people will know that 600k for Love Dive is actually not much.


    They are just going to be the Sistar of their own gens. They are going to have great digital, but their voting and their dedicated fandom is not going to able to compete with the group coming from top 4.

    Approved the thread.

    I mean all people trying to compare group from big 4 to Starship is insecure.

    People really getting triggered by IVE's achievement.

    IVE is 8 months old at most and already destroyed Aespa digitally and grew in sales, not a sistar in making but more of BP succesor

    BP dominated and surpassed TWICE in both sales and digitals.

    Right now, Aespa's sales are the best while IVE's digitals currently are best. And let's not forget ITZY's monster hit.


    Realistically, there are still multiple 4th gen contenders in the race.

    They sold 1M with just 2 singles. And doubled their sales with 1st comeback. Are you forgetting that?

    Sistar never sold like that, not even close. IVE may have Sistar digital power but are already are a wall compared to their sunbae in terms of sales. That puts them at the top because they have everything: national chart, international chart, sales and it girl. Other ggs wish they could have what they have.

    As a dive who was here for the "produce curse" era to the "Eleven is just a tiktok trend their next comeback will flop" era to the "B-but the playlists!" era I don't have anything to say other than IVE next comeback will sure to be another amusing occasion for all the insecure fans of certain girl group.


    :finger-heart:

    Looks like DIVE success stans will be the new Midzy and MY.


    Just like with the 2nd gen Sone vs Blackjacks fanwars and the 3rd gen Blinks vs Once fanwars, where all fandoms accused the other fandom of being the most toxic and pretended that they were 'not like them' (when all of them were the same).


    4th gen may be a new gen, but the song and dance that play are still the same in all those years.

    Fandoms of the most successful groups being arrogant and vindictive and blind to it, and success stans being toxic.

    Queens!!! Digipakmons!!! Once we get members in sleepwear and members with their pet versions, watch out.

    Ive reminds me of Blackpink in so many aspects, the mental gymnastics to downplay them is one of the reasons. Each day antis get creative to find another way to discredit them.


    You surely can't downplay a group and expect their fans to be quiet. And in comparison, dive is actually one of the most chill fandoms. There's barely any thread by a dive here in anon section bashing other ggs in favor of IVE. But many threads trying to bash IVE and their members since they can't come for their stats (IVE is WY and friends, Gaeul is useless, etc).

    aespa fans need to worry about digitals and streams because if they pull a girls in every cb, they will just be another bg with sales but with one smash hit. imagine being so insecure about a barely 6 month old rookie who comes from a company that doesn't have in built company stans.

    why are aespa fans SO insecure? it’s funny. posting this both in main and anon.


    Did you consider the fact that only Aespa has a US LABEL and from BIG 3?


    Guess you removed that important part.
