Its probably one of these things where its just the norm and nobody cared enough to change it because it brings in money.

Plus the CD in it is the only thing that makes it still about music instead of just a bunch of collectibles. the CD itself is essentially just a physical representation and reminder of what your paying for.

Essentially it can be seen as a receipt. I like to keep my concert tickets even though I paid for the performance and not an actual piece of paper. Which reminds me too, online concerts sell you "physical tickets"....lol I think it's the same concept.

I guess I need a bigger house then if I wanted to buy CD’s😂.

Quote from TheBotter

It's strange, in Korea GP seemingly barely go to concerts. Almost no one without a fandom can play proper tours.

Interesting. So different in Europe.

I guess I now know why BTS cater so much for Army🥳.

Would it be possible to buy tickets to a concert without being in a fandom? I guess for presale tickets you’d have to join anyhow🤷‍♀️

Quote from omnimorphism

Music is still the main product made by singers and musicians. If they don't sell it, what are they going to sell? Anything else is just extra.

They could sell their music digitally?

Quote from omnimorphism

Groups sell both albums and merch.

I know. Come up with new ideas then? Albums are so last century😨

Quote from fdblink

Yeah you need a fandom for physical... It also helps when groups have multiple members, some people buy multiple copies just to get all the collectible cards.

I buy albums just to support my faves and literally just for that. All my albums are unopened.

But why put out albums then? They could just sell a package of neat stuff that you can actually use? Do you loose out at the international charts/award shows?

Quote from TheBotter

They have almost 0 fandom. They can't even really tour to be honest. They still have to play basically halls and very small venues after nearly 10 years in the industry. Same for people like Heize or Bol4.

There's just no demand for them without a fanbase in Korea and they don't have one. You know an album sale these days represents a fans investment in the group or idol. They don't really need the album, but they buy it anyway to support their faves. That's what these digimons lack, no one really cares about them enough to invest in albums, merch, concert tickets, etc.

Only fandoms would buy an actual album - I don’t even have a CD player!

Plenty of ways to support with concert tickets, merch etc but then you really need to step up your social media/marketing game I guess.

Quote from victress

Why are all your posts so hard to read? what's the point of all this different colors? and emojis and quotes?

1 of my 2 brain cells just died.

I still don’t get it. Have zero cells left🤪

Like august for comebacks for Q4, May/June for summer songs and award shows etc for Korea?

Or is everything just spread evenly throughout the year?

Quote from reiusagi

Yes so true tho I think some 4 and 5 member groups have fillers I won't name them haha

In a way it makes sense.

I mean you’ll have to wait forever to get a song line if you are 12 in a group🤪

Quote from kazuyakamenashi

I guess whatever rule mill broke must have been quite serious to the company. For him to return bald, as shaving one's head is a sign of forgiveness a very strong apology.

Had a girlfriend or something🤷‍♀️

Quote from godkingteshub

So you are LITERALLY comparing minorities from unprivileged backgrounds to visuals in Korea who won the face lottery, where even office jobs require people to have their photo on their resume?

I rest my case.

Face lottery or money for plastic surgery lottery 😋

Quote from 9397Duo

No they don’t, except on WeVerse. BTS only have one group account on IG that’s managed by BigHit’s staff.

I have been told a number of times already in this thread😬

Quote from bartkun

giving money back to SM is his smallest problem right now

1. He can be beheaded

2. If he won't be beheaded then he will need to survive in prison, and he will be jailed labeled as 'rapist' so good luck with that, we all know how it ends in all 'proper' jails.

3. Even if he won't be jailed get probation, or some money fine then... his bank accounts probably are already on 0 because CCP always has control over money if it's located in Chinese bank. They did it many times to rich billionaires aka tycoons who fled the country, sometimes even preparing some 'papers' to block money located in foreign banks.

4. Ok now if we cancel all 3 previous points, we are in a place that we learn that he will probably be only able to find a work in some cargo magazine, port, or in remote village as farmer. No one 'normal' will give him a well-paid job.

I would….if he’s innocent.

By the looks of it he isn’t though. But if they can’t prove anything I hope they let him walk. But by now the authorities can only loose face if he’s not convicted so he’s probably toast.

Quote from SunnySun

It is harder compared with any other company , the competition is way bigger than smaller and middle companies, you have this smrookies girls training for 7+ years and still not debuting

Maybe it’s not harder as the smaller companies have less money or doesn’t have a bullitproof strategy from trainee to market?

I don’t think it’s easy period to make it into the popworld. Or to stay there.

Freaking not easy to get into Harvard without money, connections or a super brain either 🤪.

Quote from blingyblinger

There's literal video footage of him raping an unconscious girl he is far past creep

Says a Weibo account🥺.

I’m in no way defending him - I just think it’s not justice to remove all from him.

Not even murderers are treated like that.

Cosby was even freed and that other creep Weinstein still has his money I guess.

What is this about Weibo deleting his account as well as company account?

And removing his music from streaming sites?

He’s detained “only” but he’s like convicted without a trial. have Canada even responded to their citizen?? Or Canadian media?

It’s such a witch hunt now - what if he’s just a creep and not a rapist?

Glad I’m living in a country with freedom of speech and you’re only guilty after a conviction😩. Where governments can’t just take your livelyhood and delete your ability to speak out.

I'm trying to be softer.
