The thread title was and I quote: "|New Jeans charting failure proves that the actual GP dont give a rats patootie about the Hybe/MHJ scandal."

Bolded the part you were looking for.

Make a thread about their comeback, talk about the song, if you like it or not.

Debate what the song and the comeback is about.

But the second I see that BS in the title, it goes in the dumpster fire.

PERIOD!

Still doesn't make sense to me. Well, guess thats one of the reason akp been losing it's active users, it's hard to find things around here.

Quote from alexS

of course not, its just that I am the one that merged those last threads.

If its about the same thing, which it is and was, it goes into the garbage...sorry mega thread.

No wonder I can't find thread abt NewJeans comeback. I don't think thats a good move, esp for ppl who don't care abt MHJvsBSH drama, and only come here for NewJeans comeback update like me.

Quote from K-PL

I followed it very closely. Scandal -> more attention -> more support initially.

Jessica sold a lot of albums initially for that period when album sales were lower, even more than Tiffany's solo. She was on the cover of 20+ maybe 30+ magazines. She had 65 "branches" of B&E worldwide. Both snsd and Jessica declined after it. Even Gfriend who were at the time nobodies eventually beat and outlasted snsd Lion Heart on the charts with Me Gustas Tu.

Even in her SNSD era, Jessica always had a bigger fandom and bigger c-fans compared to Tiffany tho. So, her solo album performed better than Tiffany's was to be expected imo.

Nah, she destroyed herself

Quote from jimeous

It depends on methodology but if Psy is appearing then it might be an accumulation of historical data rather than recent data.

I don't think Jungkook or Lisa will be that high if it's an accumulation of historical data

It's stagnating for sure

The next IU is more likely to happen. There were plenty of popular singer throughout history in Korea. The only problem was, they didn't release songs as frequent as IU.

Quote from BEG4DAWIN

Chinese blinks are sleeping, there may be an increase at the end when they wake up.

American and European blinks need to pull their weight, China can't carry BP all on their own.

Chinese and SEA Blinks better wake up soon then, its been slowing down way faster than I thought it would be. Already at 1.6M views per hour now.

Quote from BEG4DAWIN

They are getting 4.7 million views per hour, so 100 million should be possible.

They have about 10 more hours to go.

Kpop MV are usually very frontloaded. I keep in track and the views starting to slow down, they're getting around 3M views per hour for now.

With the current pace I don't think they will. The views seems to slowing down rn.

B.A.P bcs of EXO

Seventeen bcs of WannaOne, Seventeen used to be part of Top3 BG along with EXO and BTS (EBS) but they kind of get sidelined when WannaOne debut. I think they manage to pick up the pace when WannaOne disband tho.

Quote from glassanimals

It used to be like 10 artists a YEAR get a PAKs in like 2012-2017, I feel like this year we will have a lot more

Lmao no, there were 18 different artists who get a PAKs in 2016 for example.

Meh, its similar to the "To be a Big Fish in a small pond or a Small Fish in a big pond?" discussion. And honestly there is no right answer to that.

Quote from LUCK-BY-CHANCE

Only other boygroup who have potential to chart like that is probably nct dream, thier charting are good n they r super popular in korea..

I just checked, apparently NCT Dream peaked at #25 on Melon Daily with 'Ridin'. Man, when one of the best charting BG can't even crack top #20, RIP BG in Korea Ig.

So, 1 Boygroup vs 6 Girlgroups. I wonder how many BG manage to reach top #10 or even just top #20 on Melon Daily

Throughout Kpop history? Imo, yes (if not all, then majority would think so), and the main reason for anyone to disagree must be bcs of seniority, nothing else. Also, ppl already have a hard time deciding who's 2nd group in Kpop after BTS, is it Bigbang? SNSD? BP? etc.

The two people in the left are Son Heungmin, a soccer player, and Kim Yeonkyung, a volleyball player.

Sports Hankook, an entertainment rag in Korea, had its annual poll of the people the K-O-R-E-A-N-S like.

I will skip on other categories, and will only list the Entertainment figures. Since the percentage is kinda meaningless I will only list #1 to

Yoo Jaesuk

IU

BTS

Jun Jihyun

Gong Yoo

Kim Sunho

Song Joonggi

Kim Hyesoo

Shin Minah

4 tied at 10 - Song Hyekyo, Lee Youngae, Jung Woosung (all actors) and Lim Youngwoong.

====

With all bars taken out, YJS is still the top entertainment figure, and most of the people the K-O-R-E-A-N-S like are actors.

Among singers,

despite of all the achievements BTS had done around the world,

the stubborn K-O-R-E-A-N-S still rank IU above BTS!

What's wrong with these people?

Lmao, yearly poll like this were heavily affected by how active you're on the said year. No matter how popular and worshipped you're.

In 2021 IU released a whole new Korean albums + some singles. While BTS only released 2 English singels + 1 collab with foreign artist.

I mean just look at BIGBANG for example, pre-scandal BIGBANG were the most beloved Kpop group by far (seriously no contest), Korean love their music. But BIGBANG can barely enter Gallup yearly top 10 Artist poll unless they made multiple comeback on that particular year.

Quote from ohpuhlease

Fans with the typical kpop mentality are sighhhh mantis are annoying af regardless of where they are from. As an old army from dope era, their complaints sounds like bunch of whining cos BTS won’t do the typical kpop shit.

Lets not degrade other people's opinion man.

Quote from rrrrrrapmonster

True. Tho it gives more freedom for them to do more activities indoor/outdoor by providing this space. If they do it in the dorm, it’s literally us watching their daily life which is cute but then it also airs in Korean TV channel. To attract more views from the gp, it will need more various contents I believe. Compared to other real life varieties where celebs show their life, BTS can’t do the same since they are too popular and it can encounter inevitable noises by media or so. So I think this setting is compromising point for fans and BTS.

Thats why it kinda irk me, the way they seems to marketed it as "let's look at what BTS were doing when they're taking a break from their busy lives, no crew or manager, just themselves", thats sound so real and raw tbh. And yet, when I look at the setting, its just seems like another schedule for them, but this time its in the forest. Also after scrolling through ITS official twitter I just realized how commercialized this show is. It just doesn't feel as genuine imo.

Quote from SooYoung

Realistically yes ofc

Artist in every part pf the worl and whatever the genre are fate to be surpassed by other artist

Who thought in 2nd gen that a grpup from a small agency would do better than big bang in digital but it happened

Well, no male soloist actually surpassed Michael Jackson's status up till now. Or other BoyBand/RockBand with The Beatles.
