Hybe Slowly Killing Seventeen

Bang pd will never let seventeen surpass bts. Mhj exposed his true character in that press conference.

Hybe saved 17.

He can't sabotage them next year, that would be too obvious. He needs to do it step by step

it is expected though

BTS with all their 2020 hype had the BE album sell significantly less than MOTS7 because it was marketed as special album +double the price.

Its actually VERY impressive that they sold this much for such an album!

Perhaps they're just another victim of the recent decline in physical sales:

Sales are declining in general

But if it's compilation albums, those never sale as much as others

LMAO how you can expect they'll beat FML 1st day - 3.9m , they had 3m pre-orders for new album

new album has been understocked in stores, it's stores problems they ordered not enough albums

For FML they sold 86% of preorders on first day,17th heven -63%,17 is right here-73%

hmmm even New Jeans comeback is getting side swept. And oddly enough that one individual is releasing an album on Friday but again who knows what’s going on

So we just laying all the problems at Hybes door step huh? Why in the world would they sabotage this album when’s it’s a compilation album and they already have two other albums that has sold millions of copies first day. Sounds to me like these stores didn’t order enough copies and now they have sold out

I don't think a greatest hits album in 2024 is going to be anyone's best seller. not the release to judge by.

People have become brainless

HYBE Labels does not, nor has ever managed Seventeen, they are 100% a Pledis owned and contracted group.

It is YG that distributes HYBE's albums and Pledis that agress on the numbers, however with a massive album selling group, there are bound to be shortages for offline Retailers because ultimately they (Retailers) have to pre-order the albums for their customers.

Actually I feel he can't even if he tries to, thing with BTS just happened, these sort of things work as butterfly effect, almost impossible to recreate.
