They’re really building the most mid-tier discography kpop has ever seen just so they can keep charting

Shoved down everyone’s throats and still isn’t Wonyoung level lmfao. Using YouTube views too is hilarious when it’s common knowledge her Chinese fans are manipulating those.

Also Korea is a sad, sad country. Superficial as hell

idk what numbers are leading people to think itzy is much more popular than nmixx these days. so many of them continue to make fun of itzy for falling off drastically too

The way all physical sales on the upward trend this year. TXT might pull one better.

Their latest album hasn’t even surpassed skz’s album from October in sales, id be surprised if they’re the ones to beat this number

I wonder if this is the collaboration mentioned in Step Out 2023

But that's the second hurdle to Bg songs' charting which is LUCK. Not every girl groups chart as well which is where luck and privilege also play a huge factor to the success of groups. We are just basing these on all bg songs that have been successful in the past few years: BWL, Dynamite, Still Life, Love Scenario. None of them are your typical bg songs with hard hitting bgm, growling and screaming.

Sure, luck always plays a part. But it’s clearly a lot more than luck if only like two boy groups can manage to chart as high as popular ggs do when there’s groups from the biggest labels in korea releasing GP friendly music and the best we can say is what, they reached the top 30 largely thanks to their big fandom rather than the GP actually tuning in? Ok.

Try to imagine a world where a boy group releases next level or savage and shoots to the top of the charts and gets PAKs. Or even just a world where a 4th gen bg releases Wa Da Da or O.O and charts in the top 90 or releases Dice and charts in the top 50 without a fandom that’s large enough where they sell millions of copies of each album. That’s exactly what happened for the groups that actually released those songs, yet that alternate reality would be unprecedented.

Bruh I just mention some of their biggest hits to show OP that actual good bg songs can hit it big with Korean GPs. Otherwise I would include even more hits that I am less familiar with how well they do in Korea like Big Bang songs, Polaroid Love, TXT's Love Song, etc (All my personal favorites). There are some good songs by Bgs, but most of them are gatekeeping me from checking other bgs' songs. Wasting my time looking for Boy Group's gems are just not it. At least the visuals of girl groups keep me hooked on their noise music which arent even as abundance as boy groups

Neither Lovesong or Polaroid Love even made it into the top 100 on melon’s daily chart. Saying bgs just need to release actually good music to chart and then claiming two songs that never even made it into the top 100 are examples of good songs just backs up the original point even more.

Gg fans in this thread must be purposefully acting stupid. Think about how so many men look at male pop artists in western countries, saying it’s gay to like them and they’re only for teenage girls. Then factor in how much more conservative Korea is compared to many of those countries. It shouldn’t be that hard to understand that there’s a lot more that goes into it than just music. Even knetz will often bring up the lack of male audience when bg charting is mentioned.

Would you look at that, another boring song. Who could’ve predicted that?

anti fragile is a bop, I can't say the same about case143

You’re a blink

I get why dispatch would rather reveal actor couples but god damn if it isn’t boring as a kpop fan only

Quote from Charmed123

just because you have bad taste doesn’t mean the rest of us do

🤷‍♂️ I just like my kpop interesting and unique enough that I can’t find a thousand western artists with the same style of music

Kpop stans eating up the least interesting kpop songs is wild to me. Less so after Attention getting all the hype it did, but still, almost fell asleep listening to those songs

Biased TOWARDS??!? Ain’t no way

Maybe the song is just good babe

All ass except skz

Anything past murder is a bit too much for me

Good thing skz can chart their whole album on Spotify, something most 4th gen groups have had trouble doing with even their title tracks recently

Watching knetz get mad every time they’re reminded these idols are still in their groups and promoting never fails to make me smile :)

Unless JYPE has also been buying youtube likes, it is very interesting to see that the likes for Sneakers on Youtube is really high compared to views.

It has the same number of likes, with fewer views, than a certain other recent gg release with a very high chance of pulling ahead in terms of likes.

Yeah because that other groups company has been buying hella ads for them also. 1.5m likes is not that many for that many views. Especially when you consider that 1.1m of those came in the first 24 hours when they only got 10m views, and in the next 56m views, they only got 400k. It just screams massive ad campaign

Jype needs to stop buying 10s of millions of ad views so they can actually assess the success level of their comeback and realize they need to fix something. Then they can work on reclaiming the crown
