do you agree with netizans that nct has a lot of photocard stans?

    Approved the thread.
  • yes, their high numbers are only because fans buy the albums to get the photocard and just throw away or donate to child's hospitals, idk which one is worse, patients dont need 5 boxes of albums lol its not only nct tho, kang daniel's albums sales are also inflated because of this.

  • Yes they do. When compared to other big groups, theirs is much obvious as the songs aren’t charting anywhere too

  • That’s how kpop works, you think groups like Twice, BTS, BP etc sell tons of albums because everyone wants an outdated music format? The lottery nature of photo cards means people buy multiples just get the card they want. Nct was the only exposed, I’m certain every other popular group has the same type of fans bulk buying

  • i only got into kpop this year but isn’t this what kpop is? no one is buying physical billie eilish or doja cat albums to collect photo cards. why do people pick on one fandom about it?

  • Yes and more than anyone, their numbers all around other than album sales don't add up

  • people thinking that kpop stan are buying album for the aesthetic of the album and the cd '-'


    the only reason people buy album is for the bonus in it

    Of course, but unlike nct, these 3 groups do have decent amount of Spotify listens, especially BTS.

  • NCT getting antis pressed without moving a finger. Does that 11m sales in one year bother you that much?

  • Okay that's what all kpop groups do. The whole charting thing is from an incorrect notion that only fans are streaming their songs. For bts, twice, and bp they have the GP support in SK so they can chart on korean charts. People say the reason bts are so good digitally is because of their huge fanbase which is one reason. But the bigger reason is because they have a lot of exposure being from bts so the gp will check them out fast and help with charting. Nct doesn't yet have the name brand recognition that these three groups have and don't have a super viral hit so they haven't charted yet. Besides, I think overall nct's music was never meant for the gp or charting but was more for a fanbase. I've heard people say it before and I agree that you either love or hate nct, no in between. So most people who like their music are fans. This creates a loyal fanbase but they won't click with the gp. Hence their high album sales and low digitals.

  • what does that even mean, all high sellers have devoted card collectors you clown

    what's up with anon threads getting worse and worse with the supposed tea. You guys are rehashing news from years ago
