RE: i-fans don't realise that album sales are all online internet talk, but in real life people associate idols with their hit songs and projects

    Yeah, hit songs and projects are indeed had a values.

    But a million sales is a million sales tho?
    It's still a money that coming through. It's still valuable.

    But those sales are indeed irrelevant for non-fans as it was none of their business at all.

    And creating a hits is not as easy as you flip your hand. Even a song that didn't intended to be a hit, could somehow gain a viral moment.
    Also not all dramas or movies that were stared by an kpop idol was guaranteed to become a hit.

    And sometimes, you need more than one hit to build that value up.
    And all those public recognition or popularity still didn't even translate into money if you didn't get any CFs.

    So yeah, both sales and project is a good thing to have, but sales would be more sustainable.

    All these daily posts about what album sales are broken or what other records some dudes have.

    But in real life, no one is talking about "oh these idols with 999k+ album sales". These dick measuring contests have no real value.

    Hit songs and hit drama series are what people associate idols and success with.

    SNSD's songs are still being played on shows 10 years later, so are T-ara's Roly Poly and Bo Peep Bo Peep etc. (just to throw out examples).

    Suzy's still being called Nation's First Love, given…
    OP

    I think OP was referring to how much kpop fans use sales as a way to praise their own faves while putting down others, specifically when they said "But in real life, no one is talking about "oh these idols with 999k+ album sales". These dick measuring contests have no real value."


    Yes sales do matter, but they try to use them as bragging rights for the sake of arguments. But, when we step out into the real world, nobody is really going to care all that much that so-and-so sold over a million albums and someone else couldn't. Because sane people are in it for the music and the idols themselves, and not trying to live vicariously through people who don't even know they exist.
