Americans will and never gonna get the hype of savage. They rather listen to the feels than I’m a savage zuzzuzu shitsu
And they even not in top 5 of Spotify streams so how just stay in asia girlies and ask sm for a better lyrics than I’m a savage then go to any show in america their song lyrics is so embarrassing
cause every company wants american success for their group even if their style doesnt fit with GP taste at all, ig they dont care
We need him in squid game 2!!

I've seen so many articles of politicians mentioning the military exemption, just a few days ago a presidential candidate talked about it and now another one (Lee Jae myung who is second in recent polls) has done it, too
BTS have 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 songs there.
Japan is definitely BTS' biggest and most important market rn. They are way more respected in Japan than their home country (I have seen more news from Japanese channels than Korean ones about PTD on stage in LA concerts). Their next visit to Japan is gonna be bonkers I feel.
there are many naver articles about the concert and the public reaction is very positive, saying things like they're very proud of them and that they do more for their country then their politicians + men discussing once again about military exemption
the case of a boy with down syndrome that worked to buy his ticket concert received a lot of support too
this happens when an artist put effort in promoting their music. my universe has good playlisting, okayish radioplay and coldplay has also performed it several times
but spain got tour dates in 2020
privilege of being an european and first world country
people dont talk enough about bts domination in latin america.
if you analize each of our charts, they're full of locals and other latino acts, there's not even many english speaking artists so bts ranking that high in countries such as mexico (#20), peru (#6), colombia (#22), bolivia (#12) is amazing, i wish hybe realized that our music market has a lot of potential and if they decide to tour here, it will be a success. the mcdonalds promo is proof of that.
btw, spain being the lowest doesnt surprise me, it was the only country where butter didnt enter top 50. colonizers once again proving their lack of taste 
IU singer definitely, her voice never fail to make me emotional, she's an amazing singer and songwriter, no one's at her level. I dont really like kdramas but i still tried to watch hers, couldnt even finish hdl (ig is not for me), my mister was better but it was just okay, not as good as people make it to be
Display MoreThis is the worst exemple ever because :
1st) Kpop is way different to the west artists don’t rely on fanservice, they aren’t forced to release music every damn year there is a limit between the fans and the artist
2nd) Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande are probably the most active artists, they constantly release contents and music plus Gaga and grande especially Ariana are always interactive with their fans Ariana in 2018-19 was always on Twitter and used talk to us
3) and If bp are that concerned by blinks behavior they can tell us to shut up it’s better than nothing lol I’m sure the fandom itself agree that we are annoying
i wasnt specifically talking about blackpink on my post and about your first point, there are western artists that also have to release albums because of their contracts even if they dont feel like to. and what i meant by fanservice is just interacting a lot with your fanbase (something the artists i mentioned above are known for) it surely does not operate in the same way as in kpop but it does exist
go go, it's fun to wach and also because i love taehyung part where he points himself at the end
Gaon needs to count YouTube on its chart
YTB is like the 2nd biggest platform
I did my research and apparently in Korea cost per mile (com) on youtube is 3,29$ I don’t know If the numbers are right but I took nl for example :
It has over 80M views on YouTube Korea if you divide per mile it over 8000 then you multiply per 3,29 the result is over 200.000 which means on YouTube alone nl pulled over 200,000 dollars in revenue
if im not mistaken youtube music had the biggest growth last year among all the music platforms. i wouldnt be surprised if it surprass melon in a few years
reading this post, i've noticed that some of u guys really talk about idols the same way racists do: "they don't care about fans, they are super fake, they only care about money, they're forced to do almost anything, they're basically robots!!" would people say the same thing about ariana grande, lady gaga or another pop star and their fanservice? i mean, yes, of course they don't love us as individuals because they dont know each one of us but im pretty sure that most of these idols care or at least are grateful to their fans for all their support and love throughout their career, that doesnt mean they cant dislike or get sick of (certain) fans (attitudes) and decide to stop interacting with them for a while, even i hate armies half (most) of the time lol
