Now I am curious… how old are you? Because you have been dragging teenagers throughout this thread and now you’re being rude to someone just for listening to Korean groups that YOU listen to as well? Like… make it make sense, lol.

I'm 22, not a teenager anymore, and technically still younger than most members of popular idol groups

Quote from drchimchim

Hey weeb and Japan expert from not-Japan. Why are you foaming at the mouth? Your favourite anime didn’t have subtitles today?

hey, don't be mad, expert in korea, have you done your 100 daily streams?

Quote from alexS

they changed that post 3 times.

First it was I like BG, second was I like idol groups, third was I like "teenagers pop groups".

To be honest, they are so painstakingly dumb it hurts.

God, I scared now, 40 years old and you listen to music for 15-year-old girls ?, I would definitely not sit next to you xd

Quote from erighter

So you complain about idols having "teenage dominated" fandoms, and then complain about people who are not teenagers liking idols? Pick a side

one of a million

Quote from alexS

me not army.

You iz troll.

Also blanket carpeting an entire fandom as 99% being under 18 proves to show how less you know.

Not only you are biased and wrong, but you are misogynistic and ageist.

And I'm saying this as a 40 year old male.

40 year old man and do you like teenagers pop groups?, jesus christ

Quote from Charmed123

what twitter trends are you seeing that im not. 👀

Interesting 🤔 I was right antis really spend their time dedicating their life’s to bts just so they can twist things to hate on bts. Kind of sad tbh🥺

Hope you saw my advice earlier and got a glass of cold water. Looks like your gonna need it with how dedicated you are Hydrate lots!

it's funny how a simple comment on the first page turned this thread into one of 5 pages

god army, stop

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

It's actually not, the largest portion of their fans are in their 20s-40s, even extending into the 50s and 60s. ADULTS.

And you haven't even gotten close to seeing me angry. I hope you never do.

but they don't behave like adults right?, I mean, look at any Twitter trend, I read those people and I think "shit I hope these girls come back to school soon", be honest, maybe 1% of the fandom has over 18 years

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

Yes, actually. It's a literal fact. Some of the ARMYs I'm friends with on social media are working adults with degrees.

Older fans work and willingly give their own money to support. Fuck outta here with you trying to play dumb. Teenagers aren't selling out cars or luxury fashion brands.

Why are you angry? xd If it is a fact that most of his fandom are teenage girls xd

Quote from MassiveKpopFan

And there's this crap, when a lot of ARMYs are older, working adults.

xddddddddd lol can you imagine that xd

Quote from myaza

Snow Man was formed in 2012, if you know anything about Japanese entertainment, you would know these kind of Johnnys groups build their fandom before debut.

Sorry but they debuted in 2020, even if they formed as a sub-unit in 2012, they have had a lot of changes, the group from 2012 is totally different from the one from 2020.

Quote from erighter

Obviously it isn't about music since the "public recognition" from this poll is extremely disproportionate to what people are actually listening to in Japan.

Snow Man is the number 1 bg in Japan and comes out in a decent position (for a new group), the ranking is good

Quote from BUTTERBOYS

So? Money generated is same. Ypu think u made a point? Lol ur goal posts for BTS keep changing bcoz u can't tackle the fact that they are among top 5 money makers in japan.

Quote from myaza

Its from a Nikkei "Talent Power Ranking", which surveys people about recognition of celebrites (comedians, actors, artists etc). Its not about music.

The female version for idols:

"Its not about music." ... and only musicians appear, I love how you discredit any ranking that does not lead your favs xd

I repeat, all the fandoms accepted this ranking, except one ...

Quote from BUTTERBOYS

They are 900k in japan. Sorry i committed a crime for not saying proper 900k instead of rouding off to million. What a sin

900k with 8 versions xd ... that's triple of versions that the average idol (like arashi xd)

Quote from erighter

I literally haven't said anything about j-army, they almost certainly operate like any other fandom. You are basically saying "sales and streams don't matter, this one survey that I found says BTS are nugu so actual music trends are irrelevant"

Well, the truth is that the only ones who are interested in sales are the fans xd and yes, kpop is not a trend, it is a niche

Quote from BUTTERBOYS

I m talking about BTS. Dont change goal posts now with whole kpop

They are among top 5 money makers in japan and anyone who is in top 10 is not niche.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

akb is a niche act, and for a long time it was in the top 5 xddd

it seems that the kpop fan thinks that = sells thousands of copies, has a concert in tokyo dome = is no longer a niche xd

Quote from erighter

You are literally saying these things while giving no proof to back up your claims. Have you analyzed every sale and stream BTS has earned in Japan? How would you know if it's all fandom or not? By that logic, I could say anyone who has sales and streams are fandom driven because I say so.

Why do you think j-army is an exception? They are still teenagers, similar to Korean, American, Indian teenagers, etc etc

They use the same tricks xd

Quote from BUTTERBOYS

They are among top 5 in revenue in japan. Selling million copies of an album. Learn the definition of niche. Niche is someone like indie artist.

Numbers and sales matter. Not an opinion of someone on kpop forum and some surveys to satisfy your ego.

kpop is a niche in all countries except South Korea, and some SEA countries

Quote from erighter

This sounds more like "I can't accept the fact that BTS are popular in Japan, so I must resort to the tried and tested argument of mass fandom buying and streaming"

stream parties are not spam to increase the number of streams?

Quote from BUTTERBOYS

Artists don't have to be known to everyone in every country. If a 80 years old grandpa living in far village dont know BTS, so what?

They are having hits. They are selling million albums. Let touring open in japan and they will shatter that records too. What else an artist can ask for? Let antis have something to breathe! BTS are brand worldwide and sells. Let grandpa oblivious to them. They are not their consumers anyways. No pop artist is

there's nothing wrong with being a niche act, like BTS
