Nct Dream and Black Pink

Different types of audience. BG fans tend to be core fandom, more hardcore, and buy the physicals and the merch.

GGs tend to have more GP interest, lots more locals checking out their videos (everyone likes pretty women dancing, women/self included, where men on average tend to be less interested in watching guys perform)

A girl group that can generate BG loyalty and GG gp interest all in one would be a powerhouse.

Except BP hasn't released an album in 2021 yet

BP 2021 album will sell over 2M copies

GG fans aren't hardcore enough

GGs work equally hard so they deserve better.

harder*

To be frank, if BP has as many members as NCt, they probably gonna sell as much also.

Bigger groups usually sell more albums. Kudos to BP being able to sell so well for a Girl Group and being a small 4 member group

I hope they sell 5M.

I didn't say bts tho lol

Max BP will move 2.5M copies

NCT dream had a plethora of different versions to buy.. cheaper too

Black Pink is a boy group kind of girl group with a huge international presence but Nct is selling a bit more than Black Pink.

Why do girl groups usually sell less albums? If it's only Korea and Asia, it kinda makes sense but internationally, I really want a girl group to be better than boy groups in everything.

Black Pink will be that group hopefully

I'm doubt where is that album sell come from,maybe ghost? Cause thiers stream and sns numbers are pretty low.

I not surprise why korean tax department always looking for SM financial books.

I don't think it's about the number of members, if that was the case, Twice would be selling a million+ with every album release.

I think it's about the audience and how they are promoted. Nct Dream is the least promoted unit, had they been given more attention, they'd be doing much better.

I didnt simply say this. I believe there is a correlation between size of group and sales.

In the past, bigger groups like SNSD, Super Junior, EXO, Twice, Seventeen has been selling very well. The amount they sold is higher/much higher than groups as popular as them, wonder girls, 2NE1, f(x), Big bang, miss A and even Blackpink prior to The Album.

Of course, there are also big groups which dont do well (example: WJSN). But at their own league, those probably at the front end of sales.

Ps: BTS and BP are exceptions now.
