If I remember correctly,loads of international blinks especially US ones kept encouraging blinks to pre-order on ktown to break NCT first day & first week record on the platform...
Lol I don't know why they did that
Honestly this is good for both blinks & YG(especially them)
I think the next album (fingers crossed for 2023 repackaged to give born pink era what it deserves) we will see less sales on ktown & alot more focused international blinks
I think YGE will learn not to let greed cloud their judgements lol
For reference
TA had 4 versions that were available online & offline in the US priced at $30 on BP shop & $22 offline stores like target
Born Pink has 3 versions available offline at $50 & 4 versions available online at $25 that were only made available afterwards without prior notice to those who are uninitiated lol
Next album will be back to TA pricing + pre-orders will all drop at once to avoid this embarrassment happening again
