Huh? Where did you pull that from? Weeekly debuted with an EP. Lightsum, a year junior, is getting their first mini this month. I am sure Purple Kiss, Woo Ah and other GGs who debuted around the same time also have gotten an EP. Vine is just lazy lmao.
I used to follow nugu GGs like AOA (when they hadnt hit big) and other nugus
- AOA did 5 singles before a mini album (short hair). That's only after they hit big with Miniskirt. Then they did another 4 mini (which all sold well 30~50k) before a full album (Angel's knock)
So yea, imo, if they're nugu, less incentive for company to invest to record more songs for EP (4-5 songs at least) vs single albums (1-2 songs). I might be wrong. But at least i think it made commercial sense. They might not be able to recoup the cost for EP. And lets be real, Secret number is even more nugu in Korea than AOA at comprable stage of their career. And Aoa came from FNC which had big act like CNBlue back then.
And u cant compare lightsum(cube) and Purplekiss (RBW). They are much established and well funded than Vine

The only other possibility is there are some new stores that are Hanteo tracked like foreign stores that don’t have Gaon tracked Korean shipment
Possible as more international stores are pushing for hanteo certification as fans tend to buy from those. but not sure where these stores got their shipment from. Whether from Weverse / YGE
-
Can any expert here explain clearly whether on hanteo and Gaon, the following are counted together or separate?
- the regular versions
- the kit
- the vinyl
- the special edition gold vinyl (released recently 3270 copies)
I guess the special edition photobook not counted cause NO CD in it. Just like any other photobook Solo LE and R LE, they dont count towards total

Dude, it is a simple economic supply demand rule, what are you not getting about it? Yall are acting like BP could come back 3 times a year like other ggs and sell 1.5million with each. Spoiler alert, no they wouldn't. No one is undermining their sales but making stupid thread titles to bring others down, when others are putting more content for their fans to buy and expecting people not to react is pretty dumb.
Dreamer back to his argument on Blackpink only get more sales due to lack of release.
I thought The Album-R-Lalisa kinda debunked that myth? Each of these sold super well within a span of about 1 year. Each of them are >500k and i dont see why they cant pull 1.5mil if it is a group release
Edit: thats like saying Twice sold 300k for one album usually but cannot consistently sell that much. I only see uptrend for twice - quote them because they releases a lot. So how do you explain that Dreamer?
-
Blackpink case is an exception because they don’t release much plus they have huge amount of fans. You can't apply similar multiplier from any gg to Blackpink.
When comes to lack of physical release, aespa is on par thus far. I dont see their next one being a full album either. Most likely they are following the route of Blackpink. But i think their next one can pull 1 million sales easily. At least on my side i gonna bulk buy (getting Karina and Winter's photocards are damn hard/pricey if u dont self pull)
-
Does Ive even have a main vocal? From what I see, Yujin has been playing that role but most fans are saying Liz is the main vocal instead.
Le Sserafim's should be Yunjin by default by their album didnt showcase much of her impressive vocal.
So for now, between Ningning (better control) and Lily (more powerful)
-
hmm just likeni dont know why Suzy is considered Korean top beauty. I couldnt appreciate her visual. I find her facial features are just normal and unattractive. This thought has started since I watched Dream High
-
I said it back in march update, Gaon seems to be having a mistake with the sales, this month the gold lp version should had appeared in the report since it moved over 5k, but it didn't. Although there is something shady with YG undershipping the girls albums in favour of the 15 versions of their bgs.
This however should be reflected. Cause that gold LP has 3270 copies and should have charted
-
This is just my observation..
I saw many stores still carrying Lalisa albums / stuff .. maybe thats the reason. They stocked up alot when it was released but YG released so many versions + special edition + photobooks within short span of time. So not many stores reorder..
I still see a lot of unsold Lisa merch around marketplace in my country (might no apply to other regions). For myself (as I bulk buy to get POBs), I still have many copies of Special Edition Photobook not sold yet. I guess Lisa stans are too broke after the series of releases (even more than Rosé)

4. [+130, -106] Is it because they are ugly and they have realistic appearances? If you say it in a good way, their appearance looks friendly
5. [+118, -59] They are short and ugly, but they are famous, it is the hope of men
Original post (1)

You fantasised aginst your kpop BG oppa because in real life you could never get such boyfriend 🤣

I’m struggling to care again after denise left and the new members came into play
The two members are great though imo
Minji has nice vocal and Zuu is cute
-
Is this their way of saying 4th single album is coming. I am gonna burn down Vine if it really is another single album
For groups from smallee companies, usually first mini / full album comes much later.

By this comment, i can guarantee you dont listen to gidle much. Gidle is a diverse group yes, they try out a lot of concepts. Soojin and Minnie are the two most versatile members in the group both due to their stage presence and vocal color. If you listen to their b sides more, you will understand why Soojin's voice is needed. And no, Shuhua cannot replace Soojin. Soojin has much better vocals, she is on lead vocalist level + she has good range, while Shuhua barely can hold the right notes. Im saying this as nevie, let's be real, she always go off key easily and her live vocal is super unstable. You also cant judge based on few performances without going through their discography.
Having said that, For GP maybe Soojin's departure wouldnt matter. Afterall Soyeon, Yuqi, Minnie are still there. For fans, it is different cause Soojin has always been one of the biggest stan attractor.

I came here to say this. Maybe quote other groups like Enhypen would be better
-
omg finally!!
Am i the only secret number stan in this forum?
-
im not sure about the boy group, but Le Sserafim is top tier when comes to performing and stage presence. So maybe that's their strong point?
For the 4th gen GG, LSRF -> NMIXX -> Kep1er -> IVE in term of stage presence.
