Why do we all trip out on charts when our faves can be squashed by literally any group of people Yoo Jae Suk throws together?

Not IU, BigBang, or Blackpink though

idk people here really put korean's music taste on a pedestal lmfao

Have either of the 3 actually gone against YJS groups?

Speculative.. besides BP isn't that big a digimon in Korea to be mentioned alongside IU and BigBang...

Even now, they would be releasing few weeks after WSG, to be actually considered competition.

I believe WSG got like 500k uls on 24 hours? Blackpink can definitely do that

We will know soon enough .

Actually, Tomboy outcharted them. As did Bigbang's Still Life. And possibly Psy's That That.

I am in favor of an approach to kpop outside of Korea.

Most of them prefer trot singers...

Arent that rookie numbers compaired to iu?

Because YJS shows are popularly consumed by the general public of Korea, extending far beyond the audience for K-pop (ideul gayo?)

Whereas most groups are mostly limited only to their fandoms and a smaller portion of casual listeners.

But on the flip side, YJS groups even if they cut physical albums, will not sell anything decent... No fandom.

The only Kpop acts that are comparable would be IU and then maybe BigBang.

Which can pull the GP in large numbers.

Really shows you the goofiness of us caring about charts when they get absolutely dominated by whatever YJS reality group/competition show is airing in SK at the time.

Just an example that hype matters.

YJS has more power than the big 4. Dude is loved by the Korean people.

Not sure about IU, but in Korean charts, I would put my money on a YJS group over BB and BP.

I know he was going to do something with BTOB, but YJS got corona and it did not happen, I feel bad for BTOB, that could have been a huge opportunity for them.

Big Bang went off with the Unique listeners.
