GAME: KPOP TRUE OR FALSE (OVERALL VERSION)

    I just basically summarize the common opinions I have seen about kpop overall. To play you just have to answer to each one with TRUE OR FALSE. This game is very subjective (some are objective answers tho) so there isn’t a correct or wrong answer this is just for fun and to create some debate.

    Those aren’t my opinion but a summarize of what often kpop stans say.


    About Gaon since the album chart is base in shipments I have often see kpop stans saying it doesn’t show the real sales and that’s correct but saying Hanteo shows the real sales is false.


    Speaking about YouTube I think that is true and it’s not only for kpop but music videos overall ain’t doing the same numbers than years ago.

    16. 1M sales is not a big deal anymore. false
    17. Successful artists can coexist at the same time. true
    18. Exceptions can not be the standards of success. idk what this is about but true I guess
    19. Japan brings more profit than the US. depends on the group and how much sucess they have, with covid restrictions I understand why some labels aren't focusing there
