I Like That and Party XOXO were such good songs. I think they could have had a great career had it not been for the scandal.

This seems illegal

My interest started with them because they were under HYBE, true. But, my interest in Treasure also came from the fact they were under YG. There's just something exciting about watching a debut from a big label. I stuck with TXT over Treasure because I preferred TXT's music, so I think if they had the same music but under YG, I would still follow them

Pretty sure it's already happened to me.

I knew (and liked) their song High Heels. Actually, I would much prefer if High Heels went viral as I prefer that concept, but Rollin is a good song too!

I really am not sure what metric you are using to compare these groups, so I will try my best to go through all the key ones, starting with, sales.
TVXQ has a total physical sale count of over 14,000,000. Super Junior has 4,529,395 (I can be more precise because album sales tracking has gotten much better). The vast majority of TVXQs sales, are from overseas, nearly 10,000,000 of them. TVXQ has sold more albums in Japan, than SJ has sold, period. Of these album sales, TVXQ has achieved 39 RIAJ Gold awards in Japan, and 16 RIAJ Platinum's, including two double plats, and one triple plat. Super Junior has 4 RIAJ Gold awards, with no platinum's. Both groups have 1 KMCA Platinum each.
Maybe we can move onto fanclub. TVXQ has a Guinness World Record for the Worlds largest music fanclub. They have more paying fanclub members (over 800,000), than Super Junior has sales on an album. Unfortunately SM has not revealed the amount of fanclub members SJ has, but the World Record has yet to be beaten. On Fancafe, TVXQ has 760,000 active members, SJ has 236,000.
Charting. TVXQ has the best charting of a none-Japanese group in Japan, period. It's not even close. So lets look at another country where they both experienced relative success. TVXQ were the first kpop act to top the TW chart. To date, both groups have two number 1 performers in TW, so, relative success there from both.
TVXQ literally set the standard for what K-pop was to become. The first group to surpass 100K sales on an album, taking the record to 800K (more than SJs best selling album), they are referred to as the Kings of Kpop, for a reason. They are also called Asia's Stars by experts, for their success in making Kpop go viral in Asia.
The only category I can think of where SJ might outshine TVXQ, is the *amount* of awards won. I say amount because, TVXQ has won awards in more countries than SJ, with most of SJs wins coming from Korea, whilst TVXQ has picked up lots of wins in Japan, and some in Thailand. But something to note about SJs wins (TVXQ has 83 credible wins, SJ has 187, a stunning amount), there were simply more award shows when SJ were active. The AAA's, 5 awards, didn't exist when TVXQ are active, Click Starwars Awards, 2 wins, didn't exist when TVXQ are active, Gaon Music Chart Awards, 7 wins, didn't exist until 2012, after a TVXQ split, and as the group moved to focusing moreso on Japan. Although they were still able to pick up 2. Gaon Weibo Chart Awards, 1 win, didn't exist when TVXQ are active. Hanteo Awards, 5 wins, didn't exist when TVXQ are active. Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award, didn't have a foreign artist category until 2011. I am sure I could continue, but I got bored.
No one denies the success of SJ, but industry experts agree, TVXQ is Asias Star for a reason.

He used to hate Starbucks?
Red Cups kinda thing. Starbucks turned its back on America for not saying merry christmas on their cups, apparently

idk if you're familiar with this user but he's a known troll who uses these kinds of issues to further his own narrative, which is usually pro-right wing politics. I'd stop trying to make him understand your point since it'll never happen. He's a clown who uses racial issues for clicks and hit threads
Don't waste your time discussing with him. It's worthless.
Alright, thanks guys! I didn't know :D
Always happy to try and educate some peoples ~

Where are those statistics? We all know anti-Asian crimes increased dramatically overall but they exploded on liberal coastal cities. Also I don't mean to make this a competition, as the other person implied. But rather try to point out that Democrat policies that make it easier for criminals to return to the streets are a driver to the increased violent crime Asians are facing. And judging from the perpetrators of these anti-Asian crimes it more often involves ex-cons.
Display MoreI agree that this is a Band-Aid solution, I hear you completely, that isn't my point. But really, aside from that, there is not much the Government can do. These things are ALREADY illegal, but the people committing these offences have no regard for that. The next step (after making something a crime), is educating people, but again, the people committing these offences have no interested in being "re-educated" at their age, educating a population on awareness takes generations, even after the Civil Rights Movement, it took the next generation of better informed Americans to substantially reduce Anti-Black racism.
The fact that the cities are Democrat controlled, has no bearing. The real impact comes from the fact that the cities you picked, have considerably higher Asian American populations. Of course there will be "less" Anti-Asian hate in Dallas, Houston*, because only 50,000 Asians live there, compared to 1.2 million in New York, or 465,000 in Los Angeles. Also, hearing about it less, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
Asians living in regions like Texas, are less likely to report offences committed against them, for fear of being ignored by the Police, according to the AAPI Covid-19 Project. This rate has surged since Ted Cruz publicly said that he would oppose any bill making racism against Asians illegal. Stop AAPI Hate reported that there were 103 Anti-Asian incidents in Texas in 2020. This is higher than in New York.
Overall, I find that the poll is just flawed. Aside from a small sample size, 3% either way in every option, could mean the title actually reads "37% Asians say blacks are responsible, and 40% for Democrats". That's how flawed this poll could be. And not giving any location, means they could be asking Asians that live in areas with high black populations, conveniently like the cities you mentioned, meaning that OF COURSE, they are more likely to encounter racism from black Americans, there is just a higher proportion of Black Americans living there. The fact that they even included a race as an option to "blame" for Anti-Asian hate, as opposed to an institution, says everything that needs to be said about the poll, though.
* I put less in quotations because proportionally, it isn't actually less, it just looks like less because of the smaller population.
Even the NYT article you shared, which of course, also notes underreported cases, has Dallas as the 6th highest city for Anti-Asian violence, despite having one of the smallest Asian American populations of American cities.
