Which one is more important? Korean charting or international?

Sales matter more.

fandom,only groups that chart internationally are bp and bts

if a group isn't popular in korea, they're not popular anywhere.

Quote from flopppy

there are groups that chart well in korea but don't chart in international charts like omg, aespa etc.

???

Read this thread before spewing some bs

Obviously their home market matters more. They are WAY more likely to get CF deals in South Korea than a foreign country.

But twice chart well in japan?

whats international to you,for me its america and europe

Both

Depends on where they're targeting and where the fans are spending money. Ultimately, a group has to make money on their releases, or they'll risk disbandment.

If they're super popular internationally, then that can be enough to carry a group, even if they aren't popular in South Korea. At the same time, if they're trying to break into the western music market and they're spending that $$ and time and resources and it doesn't do well, then just being popular in S. Korea isn't necessarily enough to carry them through that.

both are important but if its must to choose korean charting is way more important.

uhh obviously the AKP charts... and in particular

MassiveKpopFan 's charts...

Unless you can do something significant internationally (e.g. Top 10 on BB100 or topping Oricon multiple times), domestic charting is more important imo.

I think many would rank stray Kids over omg if we talk about overall artists that includes sales and digitals. That should answer the question.

Korean have 50m people while globally there is almost 8b people so you potentially have 160X more customers globally, so I would say international have bigger potential.

why are people saying aespa is only doing well in korea?

not to mention they are still rising on billboard charts 6 weeks after release which is amazing

If I were to pick one or the other, then charting in SK is better. Both of course are important.

Both but I would argue

Akorn is better

loona, ateez and sometimes stray kidz gets constantly bashed for being 'nugus' despite their strong fanbase and achievements internationally and OMG probably makes more money than them through brand deals and cfs alone so i'll say charting and recognition in korea >>>

Both.

For being a stable artist, you need a strong Backbone. And for a strong backbone, you need Both domestic & international markets.

And for me, it is the best to climb on both markets steadily. Success tastes sweeter than sweet & tastes stronger when it is on Stairs & not on elevator. I know many groups that started with a boom on charts and then also badly fell on face with a boom.

if a group charts well in any country i think that's an achievement, whether you can make money in Korea or elsewhere, as long as you're making money...

It was a way to keep a train powered by highly charged alpha personalities on the tracks, and it prioritized internal conflict resolution over public spats that could... turn into the kind of “controversies” most cable news networks want to avoid.

Mark Levin, a star of conservative talk radio who joined Fox in November 2017, has taken a markedly different tact...

Baby V.O.X was more popular overseas than S.E.S and Fin.K.L but they are still #3 behind them. In terms of legacy, Korea is more important and for current activities, a little bit of both.

Korea obviously, I don't know why people think having good internationally when you consider as 99% of groups don't even promote outside Asia.

A Korean artist promoting in Korea means not only do they have music sales on ther side but that can branch out to other things like cfs, acting, TV etc most of which often brings in more money than just digital sales, in some cases artists get to keep a bigger share of non music income. Meanwhile having good digital sales abroad doesn't get them that much more income than Korean sales and they obviously don't promote to gain more jobs like in Korea.

In Korea, a group future often relies on Korea in particular for each member indivudially when they want to start solo activities.

Korea is more important. The thing is that most of these groups we think are doing well internationally aren’t making any big significant impact to be remembered except a few.

I mean if they are looking forward to a more stable career after their idol days are over, they will have to fall back on their home and that will depend on their local popularity

The only charts that truly matter are Gaon and Hanteo. The rest are just for bragging rights and success stans. You can have an entire career where you never sniff the Hot 100 or Melon 24Hrs but if you sell a million albums a year, you can literally go on forever.

...Making enough money to at least "break even" and exist another day to potentially chart.

Quote from icyruios

The only chart that matters are

• Icyruios 100 Chart
• Icyruios 24 Hits
• Icyruios Spotify Daily

Who cares about Melon or Billboard?

IT'S ALL ABOUT ICY.

Korean charting generally they're korean pop groups after all.

Korean charting. I really can't consider a kpop group as top tier act if they are N/A on kcharts.
