Okay so I haven't been keeping up with K-pop a lot, but I learnt a thing or two about politics. And from what I gather and understand. K-pop fans are extremely left. Not just common democrats but like the type to launch lynching campaigns against someone who misused their pronouns.

Obviously I experienced a lot of attacks from people and always thought well the whole world is very sensitive, but no it's actually just K-pop fans who are.

There's a whole near 50% of America who are very different to you guys. And who don't think certain things about certain topics. Or react certain ways to certain things. Even among the left most are not so extreme as K-pop fans.

It's only K-pop fans cancelling idols for drinking starbux.

It's just that in forums like these we are communicating with 90% far left so it's going to be heavily that way.

Not that it really matters just an observation I realised recently. Didn't quite realise it before.

How are you able to use this username though? Since you had it with your old id, or wait you changed it and so it became available again?

Yeah I remember this username cause of the confusion between this user name and Ves name and ofc ripia always had some or the other Mina pfp. Ofc Ves will be able to say whether it is you or not for real.

I'm assuming because I changed it to ripia that it became available again. Coz it worked haha.

Technically Ripia should also be available but I didn't wanna use that name i prefer slight incognito. The OGs will know me but the rest won't.

And yeah it's me my IP address should be for new Zealand and my writing style is pretty much what it's always been. I think.

The world is filled with people who are desperate to find something to support and all that.. first it was me too, then it was BLM now it's Gaza.. once people find something else to post and spam about the they'll move on.

You can't take these people seriously, they're not sincere. They're an army of crazies. And I don't care if this looks blunt. People cancelling someone for drinking a coffee regardless of the context. Yes it's an American brand yes America is on the side of Israel.

But America is its own nation with its own interests it's politics, it's not our place as civilians to somehow deprive ourselves of things to make some sort of statement.

Hey if that's what you want then go ahead.. imma eat my bigmac and post stories about it .. kidding I don't eat McDonald's but if I did I wouldn't stop coz of a war that's not my fault.

Fandom names are much older than kpop.

Yeah and I think it's even cringe in the west too, I'm a swiftie, Belieber etc

Idk it's kinda like a glorified groupie? But that's probably just coz I haven't thought about it in a while.

I don't know I guess stepping away a bit for a while I find it a bit cringe to call myself an anything?

Imagine meeting someone and they're like what are your hobbies and you're like I'm an army, exoL what's an exoL? What's an army and exoL?

Exo Love, army means you fight for bts..

Be getting some odd looks. As for now I'm just a music Stan but maybe if I'm a bit more active some of the cringe will rub back on me again

I would say congrats 17 you deserve it but I don't think they do. Them and skz might be outselling bts now but tbh their music is very meh. Boo.

from what I remember

Exo was selling on average 350k-400k Korean albums

They were selling the same for their Chinese ver. albums as well.

Their sales were not increasing as steadily as bts' with every comeback.

In fact you'd think that they had hit a plateau already, reaching the utmost peak in popularity that anyone would have achieved at that time being big in Korea and China.
It was the competition with BTS that made their sales jump from a comfortable 350-400k to 600k. Never once saw exo hit 600k preorders for an album release until after bts broke the album sales record by selling 500k+

BTS' case was different from Exo's

It was only a matter of time for BTS to be hitting numbers never seen before in kpop

how could anyone tell? well when you look at BTS' sales, you'd notice that they were on a consistent rise

where they doubled their album sales each time

I remember joining the fandom wondering if bts was even going to beat their previous album sales record

and one OG army told me she was confident because bts had never failed to double their sales

and they did.

With BTS' stats you can literally raise the question...was it really EXO that made them hit these numbers as people claim?

Or were they going to reach it any way?

You don't count just singular you count the entire amount combined.

K-pop was different back then people anticipated repackaged albums, and the fandom was split between Chinese and Korean. So you have to combine it and they sold regularly a million if you do.

Bts debuted the year exo broke record sales with xoxo and they reached their peak 2015, and bts was just getting big then. So it was a pass of the torch

But if exo hadn't of done what they did for K-pop, bts may have had a slower rise in comparison. Although we don't know for sure that's just what I observed. I had a feeling you'd reply this

Korea are just ignorant to her obviously weird concepts.

I don't think she is like some sort of trafficker but she definitely knows what she's doing that's just as bad imo.

I guess nobody likes SM anymore
