Why is Nayeon's song bigger than Twice but Jennie/Lisa were not bigger than BP?

  • Pop did miles better than TTT in Korea and I think similarly internationally...definitely a similar amount of 24 hour YT views or even higher


    But Solo is not bigger than any BP songs including and after D4 internationally and it is not bigger than any BP title tracks in SK either save for like KTL and Ice Cream. MONEY is not bigger than PV internationally either and obviously not in SK.


    How come Nayeon overshadowed her own group but Jennie/Lisa didn't?

  • because BP still has cachet and is still considered a trendy and cool group in SK. Twice is likeable and people generally have fond memories of them but they haven't really been "must-hear" since Fancy (again this is just the GP perspective). Nayeon has been the most popular Twice member by a pretty big margin in SK for awhile now and for whatever reason solo artists have always been thought of as more legitimate or respectable than groups. I know several people who act little embarrassed when they say they really liked Twice when they were younger but currently have no problem talking about how great Nayeon is. It's kind of like Taeyeon being much more successful than SNSD with the GP 2015-2017 (when they were both (relatively) active at the same time). It wouldn't surprise me if this continues to be the trend with Nayeon/Twice for the rest of their careers basically.


    The Pop challenge was also really popular with kids too, I saw kids doing it everyday for basically all of July and well into August.

  • Because Twice is doing terrible. Anything with even moderate success is bigger than their releasees. Meanwhile BP are massive, not just for kpop but for a worldwide artist so it's doing to be very hard for a solo to match them.

    because if you look at the line distribution Nayeon has the most lines. Basically most songs are Nayeon and Friends. Twice are vocally weak except Jihyo and Nayeon. J is stable.


    So people only want to hear Nayeon's voice.

  • money was bigger than any bp song internationally until pv happened but pv still has to prove its longevity

  • Blackpink is a group of four solo artists at this point.


    Twice only have at best 5 members who could sustain a solo career. In Korea Nayeon is the one.

  • Because bp isn't flopping like twice

  • REALLY? WE DON`T HAVE LALISA NUMBERS, WE STILL DON`T KNOW HER ACTUAL SALES

    YG DOES NOT US TO KNOW THAT SHE IS BIGGER THAN BP

  • Money was bigger than most BP songs though

  • Nayeon got lucky that her dance challenge went viral that's why she got the spotify listens and eventually @@@e355a243-abcd-405f-aa18-3f589267496a@@@ in Kcharts. Without being viral she would be performing similar/below Twice. Selling less albums than Twice too


    We'll see whether her success can be replicated, especially when she doesn't rely on virality for success


    BP's solo song that went viral was Money but because it was a B side it received less promotion and most of the promos were too late

    Luck is such a poor excuse.


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?

    Is the song good because it went viral or did it go viral because the song is good?


    She also had her preorders before she went viral. Don't try to make it like she had high sale because she went viral.


    Nayeon and going viral just happens naturally. Have you seen Twitter? She goes viral for her visuals, she goes viral for her professionalism, she goes viral for the hats she wears.


    Her song is good, her album has stellar ratings from critics, stop downplaying Nayeons success to luck, gtfoutta here

  • BP as a brand still has the attention of the general public in SK, where as TWICE as a brand not that much anymore. At least not anywhere near the level of BP or the top 4th gen groups.


    So when BP releases a new song, it'll have better charting chances because BP still draws the attention of the public.

  • I don't think you realise how big Solo was, definitely bigger than Whistle, Stay and Boombayah in SK

  • Everyone does better than Twice this day, RV most forgotten tt is higher than them on Melon, wouldn't use Twice as an standard for surpassing
