Ever since nct left nuguland and started to become a top group I have seen many fans of other groups pressed, ofc that's normal and happens to every trendy artist but the amount of lies being spread about nct success is just....
first, they complaint about their physical sales and claim there's no way they can sell above 1 million , that they only could get it during neo zone era becase SM counted the repackage together
then when resonance became a "pure" million seller during preorders, they claim it's only thanks to the 20+ members and 10 groups getting together and that the units can't sold that much alone
nct dream released a double million seller and people started claiming it's thank to their china bars and that since they aren't popular in the US that must mean the numbers are fake and only chinese fans mass-buying
nct 127 released sticker and got above 2 million in preorders alone and since cbars are limited now, the recent excuse is they got it only thanks to the 21 versions. idk where they got that from, but I want everyone to remember the album already reached around 1 million sales alone in hanteo during chuseok and only with 3 versions.
their billboard charting was also dragged, saying neo zone only got a top 5 debut thanks to bundles and free albums. then resonance also got a high bb200 charting despite bundles ban, and excuse #2 was used, claiming it's only thanks to the big amount of members. now let's see what excuse is next since Sticker is predicted to debut at top 3 next week....
then if its not their physical sales being dragged, when we defend it saying their kfandom is one of the biggest rn and their digitals prove it, they claim they only chart high on melon during zombie hours (false, since nct units are the few bgs able to chart on daily chart) and that FLO is being manipulated by inexistent free passes (this lie is being spread since last year and used to drag nct when the free passes event was available for all jyp and sm acts and stopped in march 2020)
and even if we debunk all the lies above, then antis come with the spotify and itunes card, saying it's clear the physical sales and korean digital charts are fake since nct didn't get #1 on itunes madagascar or reached a certain amount of streams on spotify... we can never win.
