2020 was the final battle. Now it will be just blackpink dominating everywhere except japan.

So it looks like nayeon pop is the only summer kpop hit. It's really been an empty summer for kpop with june and july. August is going to be wild tho can't wait.

Right now, they are really popular in korea.

Thanks. Will watch it later.

It's not a surprise. A quick apology may have saved her like irene but the company made a huge mess just like cube did with soojin.

Blinks got 99 worries but flopping ain't one.

I-fans will in the end jump ship to girlgroups that are doing well in korea like ive,aespa etc. So, i'm not surprised. Itzy can only revive their career with a korean hit.

It will be an easy 2 million+ with digipacks. I'm not even worried.

I do hope BlackPink doesn’t beat Aespa sales. Lisa bar and most Lisa fans aren’t gonna support this album until YG becomes more transparent with Lalisa’s album sales

Is this your own stupid stance or is the whole lisa fanbase boycotting?

I'm scratching my head after the treasure news. is blackpink comeback delayed again? I'm very confused rn. Doesn't summer end in August?

She doesn't look like she has an important role in the group except speaking in english. Making a member unimportant in a 4 member group is pretty hard but sm did it somehow. The Girls is vocal focused and this reduces giselle's importance

Seungri?

if they are looking at their whole career then that makes sense. But bigbang renewed contracts twice in 2011 and 2015 and seungri left when bigbang was 12 years old. Meanwhile, twice is only 7 years.

bigbang?

I like Aug 12 for cb date if the filming is in july. Bp anniversary live to gather all blinks before the comeback it will be epic.

bruh they just sold 1.6 million aespa is dominating 4th gen

The market famous for its longevity for idols in which multiple older idol groups still hold a large fanbase (without Japanese members) should convince me it's a nationality thing. That makes sense.

Yes Twice blew up in Japan because of TT, are you following this conversation at all?

Your point was Twice are bigger in Japan than BP due to their nationalities, yet you haven't provided any argument to back up the facts you were supposedly spewing. You've moved the goalpost multiple times but still come back to this.

i cannot convince u anymore sorry. You seem to be an expert in japan market lol.

Going to just assume you're being deliberately obtuse. Big in Japan due to nationality, big in Japan due to getting big in South Korea, big in Japan due to promotions. You haven't provided one argument to back up your "facts".

But we'll leave it at that as I assume you won't want to admit it was an incorrect statement after going around in these circles.

cool. u r here trying to convince me that twice blew up in japan only because of tt? I wish it was that easy. they were getting popular in korea and japan at the same time. i don't know why it it's so hard for u to accept it. It's 2022 and korea got tired of them but japan is still there. Atleast that should convince u that its a nationality thing.

I'm going to assume you just didn't follow that era.

TT had its debut at 18th on Billboard Japan - how is that them blowing up in Japan due to Cheer Up? TT went viral a few weeks after TT came out and would peak on Billboard Japan in its 36th week.

Great. Good for twice. twice started promoting in japan in second half of 2017 ofc it would peak later. It's still a nationality thing let's leave it at that.

Did Japanese people discover Twice had Japanese members 2 comebacks in? Boombayah peaked higher than LoA and Cheer Up on the Billboard Japan charts. LoA had its debut at 89th and was out in a week. Cheer Up at 32nd and was out in 5 weeks. Boombayah peaked at 15th and stayed on the chart for 20 weeks.

Japanese and Korea relations were poor in the early 2010's, Twice got big by having a song go viral not due to the nationality of their members. BP had good support from the start in SEA hence all the YouTube records from debut. Twice didn't have strong support in Japan until they went viral

that's all good but twice didn't have strong support in japan until they blew up in korea with cheer up. those are facts.
