What went wrong with STEREOTYPE ?

    But Stereotype is doing better than ASAP on both Youtube and Spotify, no?

    So it's just korean digitals. I don't think the timing was bad, it's just not always easy to predict how a song will do with Korean GP anyway. And even if ASAP was a hit it was not as big as songs like Next level or Rollin or Non stop/ Dolphin last year, so even if they had some hype it was not on the same level as other groups.
    It's not really an exception though, Somi's XOXO also didn't do well on K-charts despite Dumb Dumb being succesful for instance.

    Did Stereotype really do poorly? I swear I am seeing an increase in popularity both in Korea and internationally.


    I think Asap was more memorable but I find Stereotype better. Still both weren't as good as So Bad

    Although I love both songs, I prefer "STEREOTYPE" over "ASAP." I'm saying this as a fervent STAYC appreciator.


    To answer this, and this is merely my own speculation as someone who doesn't follow or care about numbers:


    "ASAP" is just easier to follow along and understand in terms of lyrics and song meaning. It's extremely "high teen," a concept that the Korean general public loves. It also has something that evokes a sense of nostalgia, reminding people of 2nd-gen K-pop.


    "STEREOTYPE" has a rather deep meaning about being misjudged; it's not as easy for people to follow along. Secondly, in choreography, "A$AP" has a really captivating dance, especially during the chorus. "STEREOTYPE" still has the iconic factor to its choreography, just not as much as "ASAP."

    Quote from ZestyMochi

    Back to back hits are a rare thing unless you're a huge artist. There is nothing wrong with the song, the casuals that listened to Asap just didn't stick around long enough for Sterotype.

    This is the corrected answer here. It applies to anyone. Butter to PTD. Next Level to Savage. Rollin to Chi Bat Ma Ram. It's just these songs that I mention here are way bigger than ASAP, so their subsequent release had better charting, but it's not close to the hit they release earlier.

    Alos, forgot about Dalla Dalla too.

    Choose a narrative akp, now stereotype is bad after the whole bullying of ASAP like pick a side :pepenomad:

    I can see how people are preferring ASAP or So Bad over this one but it was still successful and charted in a time when a lot of big hits or bug artists dominated the charts
