It’s kinda ironic that jyp and sm are 2 companies who outwardly look obsessed with getting their artists to chart high in the west from all the way back (wonder girls opening for jonas brothers and collabing with akon vs snsd on letterman and boa’s english releases, anyone remember? ) to this very day while yg and hybe/big hit managed to do it seemingly without even trying lol ig it’s time to pull out the “organic” fight starter argument again
Interestingly even Stray kids who got number 1 album at BB200, twice last year and did the US tour didn’t chart that high in the bubbling under. Is it the JYP curse?
