Yeah and no, Jimin had the same streams as APT at some point, but his monthly listeners is below 20M if I'm not mistaken while Rosé is at 53M so suspicious isn't just to discredit his streams. Jungkook also had kinda the same streams or more and his monthly listeners were also big big. The same with Jennie and to a lesser extend Lisa with Money, but Jimin didn't even touch theirs numbers in ml.

Monthly listeners have got nothing to with organic or non-organic streams. They can't be used to discredit streams from certain acts however much twt folks have convinced themselves and other people of it. MLs depend on Playlist reach and COLLABS both of which are the major reason behind the ML numbers of the acts you mentioned.

Maybe I'll check out triples's album

Dancing is necessary, not as a skill (group doesn't have to be filled with great dancers) but definitely in terms of choreography and performance for the popularity of k-pop acts. Even today, there are barely any songs that are popular without a dance challenge or point choreography attached to it.

There can be a couple of outliers who don't dance and are still popular but for majority of k-pop that is not the case.

Summary of responses in this thread-

It's fine, people weren't doing it because they were concerned about his actions. They were only doing it because they were pissed off at ARMYs.

Quote from Chocolate-cheeks

This just makes me miss BTS more.. no one releases flawless albums like they do in kpop these days

True. Though I do know some soloists who have been releasing quality work recently

I listen to their older albums all the time.

Not their recent albums since after the military because they have been tragic.

BTS released the most perfect album to ever exist

How many great songs can you put in ONE SINGLE ALBUM

This albums has such great bangers that they are still performing some of the B-SIDES LIVE in their concerts more than a decade later. Imagine having their discography.

Quote from Yoonminnie

it can’t be healthy to hate a kpop fandom this much.

It is not.

Quote from Yoonminnie

since all the armys left i guess i have to take over the bts threads now

Tragic.

Quote from ISaidISaid

It’s not just BF/GF stuff.

When you’re in a para social relationship you will spend hours on end discussing and fighting for your favs and their up’s and downs become your whole personality like your life depends on it lol.

A lot of Kpop fans on forums are definitely in para social relationships with their idols. Myself included.

I agree, I think those were my main points too. We like to live in denial about our own behavior and often fail to recognize these sign in ourselves(myself included).

Quote from Isastar

What comes with it is that some fans feel entitled to say what the idols should wear, do or look like. It's almost like they think because they support the idols, they have the right to decide everything or protest if they don't like something.

That's a good point that I don't see normally talked about in this discussion. People usually limit this discussion for mocking purposes till the BF/GF thing but you're right in a sense. Thinking you own the idols.

I'm curious on what people think about it in terms of kpop.

I usually see people mocking other fans for being very deeply involved in their idols lives but it is coming from the same people who sit in akp/twt and defend their faves 24/7 from every little thing. Or even get obsessed with rival Fandoms to the point of attacking everyone associated. Is that not the definition of obsession?

I consider this behavior much more harmful than fans collecting albums or showing their love for their idols publically (in non-harmful, non-violent ways obviously).

What do you think

I don't agree with the OP, but it's sure fun (read sad) to see people bursting veins over such a non-issue

I would be fine with a mini album but I don't want half of the songs to be intro, interlude or English version. That annoys me a lot. If it's like Persona mini and we get full 7 songs I'll take that.

Everything about his debut album was ICONIC
