  • TWICE’s Feel Special/MORE&MORE, after those songs any of their follow releases were able to become big hits in Korea. Pretty sure any of them has been able to surpass 400M digital points in Gaon.

    JYPig set them up

  • red velvet rbb

    why not zimzalabim? that song actually charted pretty good for a weird song (5-10 on real time melon for 1 or 2 weeks) and umpah umpah also didnt chart that bad (10-20 on real time melon for several weeks)

    and they regained their momentum with psycho.

    ah, suddenly i remember in 2019 majority akp users said that itzy and maybe everglow would surpass red velvet lol

  • that one gfriend song after their hits in korea, i forgot the name but probably you guys know which one I am talking about if you've been around for long

    “Fingertip”. To this day I don’t understand why because that song was a banger. Sure it was a different concept for them, but it was still a trendy sound at the time

  • Mafia In the Morning- Itzy


    Power Up- Red Velvet (but then they got it back)


    I'm So Hot- Momoland

    TBH RV has seemingly lost momentum at multiple points but then they come back and everything's fine.


    One of these Nights flopped, Russian Roulette killed it.

    RBB, ZZB, and Umpah Umpah flopped all in a row, but Psycho roared back.

    Then they took a hiatus and Queendom is performing well, it might outchart Peek a Boo.


    Also Power Up is one of their bigger songs, not sure why people think it flopped in Korea.

    Is he.....you know?

    I feel like BAAM was less of a turn for their worse versus Bboom Bboom just being a one-off.


    You have to actually have a string of hits to truly be on top then go down hill.

    (BTW it wasn't the song itself that caused T-ARA to lose their momentum after Day by Day but rather the bullying allegations from Hwayoung against the other members that came after the song's release 😐)

    nothing here for now hehe (/▽\)

    omg i went to listen to baam again seeing this and it's so good...

  • that one gfriend song after their hits in korea, i forgot the name but probably you guys know which one I am talking about if you've been around for long

    Upon reading the title of this thread, I knew that GFriend was going to be the first artist brought up.


    It is also interesting to note that every artist mentioned in this thread so far has been a girl group (with the exception of EXO).

    I think that's owed to the fact most ggs rely on korea. But korea though is unpredictable,they can drop a group as fast as they began to love it. So when the ggs switch to a concept unusual to what Korea would like, they drop them. At the same time, if they don't have a good and stable international fandom then it's game over for them.


    While boy groups rely on their fandoms so with or without the support of korea,they will keep doing well due to their fandoms supporting them through whatever concept change they go through

    One of my fave gfriend's songs beyond me just liking retro songs they did it dirty ;(

    And let's not talk about queen MAGO getting scraps all because gf lost their hype

  • Why do you name these two songs? What's the before and difference impact on the groups?

    I just felt that both groups lost a lot of casual listeners and hype after these songs.

    And exo was ridiculed a lot even by international fans for releasing this song they changed their whole image with this song.

  • red velvet rbb

    why not zimzalabim? that song actually charted pretty good for a weird song (5-10 on real time melon for 1 or 2 weeks) and umpah umpah also didnt chart that bad (10-20 on real time melon for several weeks)

    and they regained their momentum with psycho.

    ah, suddenly i remember in 2019 majority akp users said that itzy and maybe everglow would surpass red velvet lol

    Yeah, it was certain antis and certain other-company stans that were shouting the hardest how so many other groups would surpass RV, anything to shade and put RV down X/


    Mafia In the Morning- Itzy


    Power Up- Red Velvet (but then they got it back)


    I'm So Hot- Momoland

    momentum is rarely lost because of songs and mostly due to lack of activities and idol's attractiveness. But two songs that come to mind are gfriend finger tip and red velvet power up.

    What MassiveKpopFan already said, Power Up did pretty good, even awesome: it had quite some music show wins, Power Up even gained the only PAK, Perfect All-Kill, for an SM group back then.

    People only expected it to have the same longevity as Red Flavor did, which it didn't - but that doesn't mean that the song did bad at all if it wasn't a Red Flavor 2.


    Really Bad Boy was actually the start of the turnover. The song didn't do well at all.

    Unfortunately, cause the song is a great performance song, the RBB performances are fun to watch.

  • Mamamoo - Aya / WAWN

    TWICE - Feel Special

    SNSD - You Think

    ITZY - Icy

    KARA - Damaged Lady

    I don't think you think is a good example

    because SNSD released You think as a double title track with Lion heart

    and Lion heart did very well while you think didn't do well


    if you think was the moment snsd lost momentum, lion heart wouldn't have do well too


    You think was just overshadow by Lion heart who was more fitted for GP, it's not an example of losing momentum

    So no they didn’t lose momentum? Just that you perceived they lost fans? When universe Tempo and LS each have like 500mil digital points and charted for months on Gaon and love shot and tempo both crossed 100mil streams on Spotify and LS will cross 500mil on YouTube? EXO literally had their most successful comeback after power.


    Y’all be saying anything lol.

  • True, but You Think was the first release where an SNSD song did actually mediocre on charts.

    Now that you've point it out, it's hard not to notice and it's kind of funny. It's not like BGs just manage to go up in popularity forever and ever. No one does. Eventually, things will plateau out, and even if it's a high plateau or it takes a long time to get there, no one artist remains the most popular artist of the moment forever.
