Yeah. It was all Hoseok's decision to make his album as less available as possible.

One day he rolled into bh and was like: "You know what? I don't want any cds for my album. That would make it way too easy to get it. Make it piece of paper instead and make it available only on the app that nobody uses, cares or even knows about. And don't ship it to plenty of other countries as well. (you know, like Brasil, where I have a lot of fans) Don't make it available anywhere else. No target, amazon or walmart. And if you would release vinyls, do it half a year after and don't make it available easily either. No target, or anything. Digital store? Release it 5 days after album release. Don't forget to put wrong links and put mixtape in the address so everybody would understand how much I didn't want to release this album.

And I don't want any promo also. Don't change headers, don't post on youtube or insta. Twitter emoji? I don't need it either. Schedule? What schedule? Just release everything randomly so there would be no hipe.

So with all of this and insane shipping cost as less people as possible will know and buy my album. Excellent. That is exactly what I want. Why am I even releasing it in the first place?

I mean, I said my biggest dream was as many people as possible to listen to my music and that I want new audience and to be worldwide solo artist which is impossible without good promo. (and cds being easily available is also part of it.)

lol I'm so contradictory. lol lol so quirky lol"

It all makes sense now.

lol whole shedule for a single, but nothing for album... I see how it is...

I think GAON does count WeVerse US shop sales. Because see.... Majority of US ARMYs buy older albums from WeVerse US shop since they are easily available here more than local stores and when they are buying multiple albums at a time to cut shipping costs. And we do see BTS catalogue sales increasing every month. If WeVerse US shop sales weren't being counted for GAON then there wouldn't be this many catalogue sales. Because US are the 4th biggest BTS album buyers after Korea, Japan & China as far as we know.

So I think 'Jack In The Box' WeVerse US shop sales will get counted for GAON even though its not happening with Hanteo. But that was to be expected since we have known that Hanteo does not count all store sales. Hanteo has always been about sales from the shops that are affiliated to Hanteo. So there's nothing different. That's why we always see big differences in Hanteo and GAON numbers.

But still I'm not expecting huge jump in number for GAON Monthly update of August based on 'Proof' fuckup in June. But we should get idea of what he will sell in September update for sure.

It looks like he is going for 1m certification.

well

Congratulations, Hobi! ARMY going to Hobipalooza -- it's gonna be incredible~~ enjoy it and keep safe.

Re Hobi's recent interview w/ WKorea, he said "charting was never an option for me from the start" and from what else he's been saying -- I personally took this he wanted to focus on his art/music/work. I think it's so very authentic of him and understand his POV - success isn't only defined by the charts. It seems his personal definition success is making the music he wanted and sharing this with the fans.

Huh?.. So Snoop Dogg collab is not with rapline?... That's.. well.. unexpected....

The way some collab has whole damn organized schedule and you can be prepared when and what is coming while everything about Hoseok official solo debut was a mess..... Why companies of other artist treat collabs with BTS involvement better than hybe treats their own artist official solo debut

Hoseok's album is not even a week old and they announced this knowing how short armys attention span is. I already saw people acting like JITB doesn't even exist anymore. The way Hoseok's debut is being handled is appalling and it's getting worse and worse.

(by this point I won't be surprised if they'll fk up his lolla performance somehow as well)

lol He never said that. Karmy are just making excuses for not supporting him. They never did so results are not surprising. (most Hoseok's stans didn't expect anything from kcharts at all cause they know how karmys are with him)

His main audience is not in Korea, and he is doing well internationally so whatever.

Delete it. It's a leak and shouldn't be spread around. Respect Hoseok.

Quote from kirla

I mean, don't you know that, yes, Hoseok will go to major US festival as a headliner to have a whole damn 1 hour concert to promote his music to US public, but no, no, no he doesn't want any proper physicals which will help him to chart better and longer on US charts and no, no, no he also obviously doesn't want any radio play for his music and no, no, no why he would want ads and billboards on, for example, Times Square to promote his debut to wider audience Yes, Hoseok's dream always was to be promoted like a complete nugu from tiny company with no money while being an artist in megacorporation with huge resources and connections he helped to build from scratch

lol yeah. Why listen to his own words, hybe stans know better obviously.

Quote from qamar-atti

literally 2 days remained for album release and 0 promotions on their part.

Don't you know, he wants it this way himself/s And if other members will have proper promo and physicals it's because they would want it this way, but Hoseok obviously doesn't. He wants to be unknown indie artist now according to hybe stans.

It's so annoying that he has more sales and streams than plenty of other singers, but since he has no radioplay he is lower then them.

So thank for nothing bh.

Also, speaking about sales and streams. I thought solo debuts were supposed to be treated like BTS comebacks? So what happened here? Youtube views are barely moving as well. Army were way too busy with games and supporting american singer?

I mean...

Or fandom shrunk that much over previous week? Or what?

Quote from Yinye

HOBI made this decision for less reliance on typical KPOP roll-out with HYBE. He wants to establish himself as a musician that is less KPOP idol like with multiple album format

I have been seeing this excuse a lot lately but it makes no sense to me. Like, you do know that cd releases is not just k-pop thing? Most singers in the world release cd's, even multiple versions.

And it's not like people asking for 10 versions or something. Only one, but bh can't even do that. They can release gazillion of other artists albums, but one for Hoseok is way too much and will destroy whole ecosystem or something apparently.

Quote from Yinye

I watched HOBI's behind the scenes for MORE MV and it shows how involved he is in this album.

Also being involved with artistic side of things is not the same as being in charge of promo, distribution/marketing.

Quote from ohpuhlease

if he wants to release merch for his album, why not?

Merch can be released later. Album is in 7 days and there is no promo for it. It's frustrating.

I don't know about that. Won't be surprised if it will be another merch reveal instead.

He needs to be since bh is not doing anything.
