Quote from sonemariam

And it's funny when you talk about mimicking when JYP created Twice because he wanted his own Snsd. Twice was made using an Snsd like formula.

This has always been a dumb take, if you know anything about Twice.

Originally meant to be 7 members, being almost half non-Korean and debuting with a teen crush concept and plenty of individuality in styling, what about any of that says SNSD

I've seen your other comments about Twice, is this meant to be some weird shade towards Tzuyu? You just come off as dumb

You need an exorcist

Quote from atropos

Hits aren't the only thing for ngg maybe? Also I do think twice was bigger than aespa around the same point of time in their career in SK. I think gallup may give a picture of aepsa's standing?

Idols appeared on TV more back then, so Twice, Tzuyu and Sana in particular, were super well known, enough that they'd get name dropped on variety and dramas all the time. Idol media has shifted more to the internet now so it might be hard for Aespa to get the same level of recognition from as wide an audience.

Gaon Digital Points started in 2017, so any songs older than that only have points from charting after that point. Just in case anybody was wondering about certain groups totals.

How is my comment getting bash here I’m just trying to say all are queens and co exist with each other this funny kpop stans lol

They were just going to take exception to anything you said about Twice

Quote from azhra-0110

The title of nations gg does nothing, some of you more obsessed with it than korean themselves. If getting a couple hits was the requirement we would have several groups with it. The way I see it, it is still SNSD

Doesn't matter how you see it, Korea called and still calls Twice "the nations girl group". Can't believe we're almost in Twice's 7th year and people still try to belittle them over this.

Quote from penguinsgg

i know im not fucking retarded.

NGG was just a tool used by Korea to put a face to the Hallyu wave. SNSD was the most recognizable internationally at the time of all KPOP, so they got it, TWICE was biggest in Japan so they got it, its all been replaced by BTS. NGG wont exist going forward because they dont need it.

You're wrong on the reasons for both SNSD and Twice, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

Quote from killingtime1934

dont people mean it bc no of them renew

the only one that did was 2pm

There was a lot of talk here about JYP groups declining after the first couple of years this past week

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

Has a non Korean idol ever made the cover of one of these top fashion magazines in Korea? Maybe Lisa?

Harpers Bazaar had individual covers for Twice, but the main one was ot9 so depends if you count it.

wouldn't say set to debut, but Seungyeon did train with f(x) and Red Velvet, she's close with Amber as well as Seulgi

Quote from selfmate

yeah but even that isn't enough it seems...

you mentioned for example loona selling 100K+ but BBC is still on the verge of bankruptcy no?

BBC invested a nonsensical amount of money in Loona's pre-debut activities, they would have had to be super successful to make up for it

Imagine if she did turn out to be the CEO and people were saying she was mistreating herself.

I don't think anyone's claiming Twice are super popular in China, considering their history

I thought Sakura's C-bar bought 100k for one of the albums, maybe that was multiple combined

Quote from okarina-of-time

bp made it trendy tho. no one was copying twice 2 years ago.

Blackpink's isnt even the same, it's more preppy and alot more muted in colour, none of the op pics look the same

Quote from 4d-maknae

How much did izone debut album sold?

282k total, 207k sold in 2018

Quote from Yumeku

Bp sold almost the same in debut year without the physical boost. And since then they’re a league of their own. Don’t even try to start something.

Square Up sold 230k in 2018, the current numbers include boosts from BP's growth in later years

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

Tbh produce groups sales are the ones that feel ready made more than any others

Basically a reality show or long promo period is the way to sell albums.

Although it didn't work that way for I.O.I, they only just broke 100k with their 3rd physical release (2nd mini album)

Quote from Tic_tac_toe

They had a whole show to build a fanbase.

Fair point, but it still seems more genuine of a record than the others to me, since it was an album actually released at debut.
