interesting people claim that japan is more important for sales. When china is a much more bigger achievement and only a few groups. japan is a easy way out. china is for groups who take risk

Japan is the second largest music market tho. It’s a business.

Most of the sales for most groups come from China Bars, I don't know why yall like to downplay it so much

China isn't the largest music market, though. Yes, being successful in China matters, but it's not everything. There's a reason bands translate their music into Japanese and English, but not Mandarin.

china = irrelevant digital sales

so, japan >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> other asian market

Why not both?

Japan is more profitable than China, is better selling 300k of a Japanese album than having 300k of a Korean album bought by China bar

How about both tho?

But nobody claims JP is better because of album sales

Even though JP sales are often bigger than chinese

People claim it's better because of touring

Touring is where the big money is

like people have said why not both?

Why not both?

Why not worldwide domination?

Quote from SandyBee3

China is only recently downplayed and we all know why.

Because of EXO of course

not recently. it's always been the case for EXO. now that blackpink is successful in china as well, its even more apparent now

u cant tour in china, promote in china, those 2 things make it half irrelevant.

because their fave can conquer china yet

china is massive for kpop physicals but majority of kpop gorups can promote or hold concerts there so that is why japan is seen as more important.

I bet most your faves would rather sell albums in China rather than have to tour. Touring is a pain in the ass, a million things to worry about. Meanwhile, you literally sit back and eat Doritos while your big China bars send their hard earned cash to you.

Ask your faves to stop making Japanese songs and starts making Mandarin songs then, I am listening.

it was just a joke

Everyone wants a piece of the Chinese market, of course. I don't think it's better or worse than Japan, as far as country to be successful go.

But the day the chinese government decides that c-pop needs to be more successful than kpop, then what

who even cares

none of yall r getting that money lol

Quote from Armedryu

Have a good day

Japan!

China can easily change its mind. What a waste of a huge investment.

its not Underestimating China its useful to but Japan is more useful and bigger market than china

Quote from SandyBee3

China downplayed since certain Groups started to dominate there.

Which group? Sorry, really dunno.

China no doubt would be a bigger market for most Kpop groups if they could tour there, but Japan is more important for the touring aspect I'd say, although some of the c-bars do be going crazy and no touring could be done for some time... So actually with the pandemic I would say they are equal or even the chinese market is more important rn.

They already decided that....

China won’t be a big market eventually, eventually no sales along with no touring. They just gonna have a WHOLE hallyu ban altogether, tsk. Y’all underestimating the CCP.
