So please elaborate then why can't a boy group who dominates all those metrics you mentioned win a single survey over Twice in the last 6 years? I mean by all means they should've came on top at least in one of them, right? All these surveys are smhw failing BTS magically while staying true when it comes to the rest of the industry

It isn't like BTS haven't topped any surveys in Japan. We just don't think they are end all be all for everything. Because common sense says only one metric doesn't make the difference because using that logic Twice could proven to be literal nobodies by someone...

Anyways here's one for you since you lot give so much damn about them. Here BTS topped survey across all age groups not just "gen Z". It also had bigger sample size with 600k users voting.

Btw Twice has never topped this survey for girlgroups. BTS did it across all age groups amongst all the boy groups, not just limited to kpop.

There's another surgery by Rakuten with more than 500k people where BTS ranked 2nd most influential celebrities in Japan in 2021. Again not just limited to kpop....

Quote from chilltime

it is amusing that bts who is supposed to be the top kpop act resorts to keeping their numbers high with every tactic in the book. But hybe's plan has always been to compete with other genres outside of kpop and keep the Korean pride "big". Very desperate from company but i also understand it, there is business in it. It's definitely not helping bts tho. they have become devoid of artistic identity chasing after higher highs. i'm so glad blackpink never had to take this huge responsibility of keeping the Korean pride high. It's sad behaviour making themselves slaves to the kpop.

See I don't care about NewJeans at all but it's funny seeing Blackpink fans complain about NewJeans push when Blackpink was the most privileged and most pushed kpop group till NewJeans came out. But I guess you guys don't like the taste of your own medicine. You lot are just seeing the real level of Blackpink through NewJeans breaking almost all of their records easily.

Also talking about Blackpink identity (which is just being the copy of previous YGE girlgroup) is just like talking about Blackpink talents. There's nothing to say...

Quote from TheBotter

their last group song underperformed to the point they needed Gain to change their rules to give them a win before the went off to the military(well 6 of em and 1 in a post office)

You have brought up this stupid conspiracy again now. Very apt for proving the only thing onces are doing on this forum is make stupid conspiracy theories to cope with the reality.

But you don't realise that if you really want to make people believe in your stupid conspiracies, you would need to stop being trolls so that people start taking you seriously. But it would be difficult since being trolls is needed for attention seekers....

Quote from Dreamer95

Army showing their true colors was about time. And because of Japan of all, where their faves got almost cancelled for an insulting t shirt that is.

True colors? Lol... I have always been the same to everyone here. I don't know what you were expecting. And you shouldn't even expect anything from anyone because you are literally a troll just like most other male onces on this forum who have said or done some problematic shit and now are making conspiracy theories like this thread to live in your made up alternate reality to cope with the truth...

I didn't know once are so fucking dumb as a fandom honestly...

Twice sales and streams have only stagnated over the years whilst BTS sales and streams have only increased so much so that they have broken historical records for foreign acts held by the likes of Michael Jackson and Mariah Carey and Ed Sheeran but still Twice is the most popular kpop group in Japan?

'Dynamite' & 'Butter' both are GP recognised hits in Japan bigger than any Twice song. Twice haven't had a hit in Japan since 'TT'. And literally none of their songs since then have done as well as BWL or PTD let alone 'Dynamite' or 'Butter' but still Twice is bigger than BTS in Japan?

In terms of touring, even at their peak popularity in Japan, BTS could sell more tickets in Japan than Twice but they think Twice has bigger touring power than BTS in Japan when they haven't even toured in Japan since their biggest hits. Like make it make sense.

The only metric showing Twice more popular are the polls. The same polls in which NiziU is being shown more popular than them. So using that logic, Twice is not even the most popular JYPE group in Japan but they are the most popular kpop group?

Once really do be coping with anything lol... The collective coping by the fandom is honestly hilarious when literally everyone else can see the reality. But understandable since they need it now more than ever now that they realize Twice might not even end up being top 3 kpop girlgroups with other girl groups easily surpassing them...

Quote from worldlove27

and dynamite isn't BTS's only song that did well in Japan. y'all know it. Butter and PTD are also certified for more streams than any twice song.

BTS is the most streamed and better selling group.

so you saying Twice is more popular based on what?

Don't forget BWL. The only Twice song that did as well as any of 'Dynamite', 'Butter' or BWL is TT. So on what basis Twice more popular?

BTS have better sales, more hits, more revenue, the only non Japanese artist since Michael Jackson to top Oricon year end chart so where is Twice more popular? In their delusions?

Quote from vzal

One thing I love about these disussions is that ppl really show their true colors.. good to know TWICE not only have Blinks and 4th gen GG stans pressed but Armys as well

Twice haven't been in the same conversation as BTS since 2019 when once were trying to force 'Fancy' into the discussion for SOTY against BWL.

ARMYs don't care about Twice at all since Twice and BTS don't belong in the same conversation anywhere in the world.

Quote from Dreamer95

So are you saying Twice, BP, RV are all bigger than BTS in Korea because they have bigger hits?

BTS : 8 songs with 5m+ ULs

Twice + RV + BP : 8 songs with 5m+ ULs

I think I have told this to you before too but you are too dumb to understand anything...

Onces do be coping with anything now that Twice is almost irrelevant... Like imagine thinking Twice is anywhere close to BTS in Japan when BTS make more money in Japan than Twice do worldwide. BTS are on the level of local Japanese acts while Twice has never been in the conversation....

Bro even Twice Japanese members will say BTS are bigger in Japan than them lol...

'Pied Piper' is probably the best all-round creation in BTS discography. I mean the music, the vocals, the lyrics, choreo too. It's my top 3 OT7 song for a reason.

Even with all of them enlisting inside exactly 1 year, they have managed to keep at least one of them with us for FESTA....

Honestly I was personally a bit skeptical with how they will manage solo activities of all the members while also enlisting and coming back by 2025 because there's 7 of them with huge age gap between the oldest and the youngest. But BTS as always know what they are saying and what they are doing. Shows the passion and love of the members towards each other and BTS. You can confidently say that no one loves BTS and members more than themselves

They deserve all the lashings they get. Creepy bastards. Never understood this type of behaviour.

On another note, I'm loving this version of Jungkook.

Quote from babyjinx1221

so in conclusion

twitter likes - lisa

insta likes - taehyung

google search - taehyung

what else is the other group comparing? lol

Actually Taehyung has far better twitter engagement than any Blackpink member. Taehyung has a post with 3m likes. He as well as other BTS members have multiple posts with multi-million likes on Twitter. Meanwhile BP as a whole (group or solo) have only 1 post with 1m+ likes and that's Tae's pic with Lisa. So he actually gave Blackpink or Lisa their biggest engagement on Twitter ever lol.... It's not even comparable when it comes to Twitter.

Quote from thelightoftruth

It's Jennie.

The majority of Army are confused and think that having the bigger group fandom is the same as being individually more popular.

Genuine question. If Army is the biggest and strongest fandom in the world, how does Jennie have more insta followers and monthly listeners etc? It shouldn't even be close tbh.

The reason is simple, she's less reliant on her fandom and ultimately more popular than V in general.

When you have a big fandom, most if not all of those people are your fans individually too. Especially in cases like BTS where most fans are OT7 and akgaes are despised even by the members.

Jennie has more instagram followers only because Blackpink opened their instas before. There's a reason why she has only 1 post with 10m+ likes and Taehyung's more than half of his posts have 10m+ likes. He has the best engagement amongst all the musicians atm so using instagram as an argument against Tae is actually stupid.

He has more Spotify followers and streams than her so what are her monthly listeners doing? Let me tell you. She has more monthly listeners only because of her collab with The Weeknd. Her own song flopped on Spotify and is doing as good as his bsides.

I'm convinced you either live in girl group fandom shell or probably just dumb

Jungkook owned 2023. I'm actually wondering imagine what he would be doing if he had released a single each quarter....

What's cute here is that Eric is calling RM "hyung" and not "sunbaenim" which means RM most probably told him to do so...

RM is an inspiration. There's alot to learn from him for everyone.

BTS or BTS members as your ambassadors means more engagement, more sales, more money. More than what anyone else can bring...

'Winter Flower' is one of the best collabs ever. Beautiful song

That's a joke. There's plenty of shady-ass Armys that appear in threads unrelated to BTS.

As a bystander, Blinks are aggressive and toxic for sure, but both Army and Once are way more sensitive. The way they pile on one after another whenever someone posts something slightly questionable towards their faves should be studied.

To be honest, both BTS and Twice don't get anywhere near the amount of vitriol that BP members get. The stuff that Jennie and Lisa in particular cop is pretty gross.

We have seen how good of an observer you are when you said kpop fans in general regard Blackpink as the most talented in their respective skills while only ARMYs praise BTS talents.

I have been around here for 4 years and that's one of the funniest things I have read on here

It was never close. Only delusionals who believed that Blackpink is closer to BTS than that of other groups believed that.

Quote from Onewbias

and the highest peak in her popularity was when those paris pics got leaked

It gives when the most liked Blackpink related tweet is Lisa's pic with Taehyung No other Blackpink related tweet has ever gotten half of its engagement.
