What kind of company media plays to downplay their own artist?

Wait, txt is there too? I don't see anything about them at all and only about J-hope and even Jimin. From trending topics to articles in sosial media. Guess that's why Hybe move like this.

TXT trending all over twitter on the previous day

I think they combined numbers to not highlight the gap between Hobi and TXT - it is obvious.

But my Weverse LIVE connection literally crashed every song by the time Hobi was a few songs in and super annoying by the second half. Yes 14.9+ Million at once via Weverse Live is a lot but they def need to work on it a lot more.

Quote from ohpuhlease

weverse doesnt deserved to be bragged about in this case cos the live couldn't even hold properly. it crashed so many times i had to resort to watching twitch lives, and some resorted to yt ..

this is so unfair for j-hope

How did HYBE think Weverse could handle live streams when it was already regularly buggy? It's super unfair to the artists

This was so stupid of them, they'll only get txt dragged

God I hate this company...

Sighhhh.... even Chicago newspaper doing better job

Lol! They better fix first their weverse live before this mediaplay, couldn't even handle Live Hoseok..

Funny thing, the lollapalooza replay still not available on weverse. Beomgyu said they watched Jhope performance on Youtube. Fanvids

TXT trending all over twitter on the previous day

First, the keyword is 'I'. So, this is only from what I see. And I don't see them on mine. And J-hope basically trending with over a million tweets. So, all over twitter you said there might not that true, especially if we compare the number of the tweets for both of them. I'm not looking down on Txt, but obviously J-hope overshadowed everyone on that festival and this is not the first time hybe doing this.

Did they just.. combine those numbers as if txt made those?

JHope alone got 14.9 M viewers, it means txt only got 1m+ viewers

Hype don't even highlight Hobi made those huge numbers

Why am I not surprise with this kind of mediaplay

Quote from ohpuhlease

What Hybe actually made it sound like:

i'm laughing out loud omg

Quote from ohpuhlease

they just uploaded the clips of j-hopes perfs to YT and weverse today

It's still not available for TXT. I watched the replay on youtube.

i'm sure txt's livestream worked perfectly, but it could not handle properly hobi's 14.9m viewers

Quote from ohpuhlease

they say the ceo specified j-hope alone got 14.9 m views in the meeting but why did this not get reported on the article?

They need to reassure the shareholders

And I said 'previous day'. Jimin and Jhope also trending on the day txt perform because both watching from the side of the stage.

Dumb move, doesn't help TXT look better at all when they did a good job in their own right, no need to attach them to Hobi's impact.

Hybe has been moving real weird where BTS is concerned following the fiesta announcement, this with them saying they will be sure the do merch for other members solo releases cause Hobi's sold so well when everyone just wanted regular physical albums.....idk just some real questionable choices being made across the board.

This. People will only drag txt in the end

Quote from ohpuhlease

for me it started having trouble from 3 m viewers, at 5 m it got too worse, i logged off to find an unofficial stream

yep, it started having problems from the beginning. i had been switching from mobile to laptop all the time, and then i figured out that watching it in minute delay was the best option. which is why i got my stream cut off before i finished the concert lol. i missed his last words

Other company shenanigans

Edit: Actually JYP also undervalued their own artist with this year, having an article that basically read as the company being excited for SKZ to surpass Twice while ignoring all of Twice's recent international growth. Guess company's are getting more clear in their push for their newer groups since this is clearly done to hype up TXT off of Hobi

Exactly

They’re always doing this to Bts

Nothing new.

I haven't seen anyone mentioning this but like WHAT WAS THE REASON...???

It just looks like they're trying to downplay Bts's growth here when we all know that they don't even give the proper versions anymore.

I can't believe they keep using J-Hobe like a lab rat. First for that crap album apps, now for Weverse's Vlive feature. Moreover, both are apps that don't work properly and are extremely far from making the fans happy.

Quote from ohpuhlease

exactly, it was acting up at 3 m viewers and at every increase yet shameless enough to make such articles

It keeps buffering for me though, then it crashed when j-hope performed equal sign... Then after that it keeps crashing!

I would applaud the article if they said that they will improve the app for better fan experience

They couldn't even give Hoseok proper solo album

Anyway, this is not for TXT, they are doing good in their own right but yeah HybE being HybE

This is the article that was published about lollapalooza and Weverse

Weverse proves the stability of 'Weverse Live' through live broadcast of Lola Palooza in the US... Recorded 16.28 million in 220 countries

Global fandom life platform Weverse , along with live broadcast of J-Hope Tomorrow X Together ( TXT )'s US 'Lola Palooza' stage, proved the various possibilities of application following the perfect technology transfer.

On the 3rd, Weverse Company announced that they had successfully broadcast the performances of Tomorrow X Together and BTS J-Hope at the recent music festival LOLLAPALOOZA in Chicago, USA , through 'Weverse Live'.

The live broadcast of the Lola Falluja concert is the first official live broadcast schedule of 'Weverse Live', which was added as a recent update.

In particular , through J-Hope's 70 -minute stage and 40 -minute Tomorrow X Together performance, it recorded 2.14 million chats and 223.7 million likes in about 220 countries, recording a total viewership rating of 16.28 million, and was stable. The bar that showed the service environment is receiving great attention from not only fans, but also from inside and outside the industry. This is meaningful as it confirms the stable foundation for not only expanding the ripple effect of the 'Lola Falluja' event itself, but also providing various communication opportunities through Weverse Live.

On the other hand, Weverse introduced a new Weverse to which the real-time video live function 'Weverse Live' was applied on the 18th as a signal of integration with the V-Live service after the acquisition of Naver's V-Live division

What Hybe actually made it sound like:

in order to boost their platform weverse, the article is reporting it like the two event happened on the same day on a same live. the platform fused so many times that fans resorted to using yt lives and twitch streams... wtf is wrong with them? now i would say this about the article regardless of whose name was attached here cos it is extremely unfair for J-hope to be downplayed like this and i bet the fans of other artists' also wouldn't want to see their faves name be attached like this.

Lol this ain’t new. Hybe just wants to show how independent they are from BTS. Because the last thing they will be doing is explaining that Hobi, a BTS member, is the one that pulled more than 90% viewership. With the looming enlistment up in the air, they are trying too hard to look good.

The income made from their weverse platform is still BTS no matter how much they wanna frame it as indirect profit.

No subs for their lives, poor live stream but doesn't provide an option to replay the performance again. But here they are shamelessly mediaplaying about their platform

Hybe probably gets a lot more of the profits from TXT than BTS, since TXT is still on their rookie contract. Same with Twice vs Stray Kids, Twice members could be getting a bigger chunk of profits once their current contract expires. It makes financial and strategic sense for the companies to use their legacy breadwinners to promote their younger acts.
