Stray Kids; new album, Karma, is about to hit 3 million sales figure today , something not noticed by most people as Golden has taken over the narrative.
With this album SK will win the album Grand Prizes, the first since Twice for JYPE.
BTS not releasing an album this year and waiting till next year means Stray Kids now becomes the premier boy group of KPop.
Did Stray Kids supplant BTS? To some degree yes, since they still are gaining newer fans.
And the tragic thing is that Stray Kids is likely to be the last KPop act to hit 3 mil figure.
Nowdays newer acts are lucky if they can beat 1 million, often much less. They do not have the core fans anymore, and now the trend is towards to virtual idols, and Plave selling around 1 million, that will be the new norm.
