I love how Yaman has had a mental breakdown since last night when then utter failure to sell 40 quid tickets for the biggest GH ever hit home.

I'm not having a mental breakdown in the slightest. I'm just trying to figure out if your brain has one solitary wrinkle so that I can conclude whether there is any hope at your making a single intelligible contribution to this conversation. Even this comment I just quoted is barely coherent.

I made assurances that I would be less cordial when faced with ignorance in 2024, so I'm reducing my filter by about 10%. If you want things to get spicier, you bitter terminally online K-Pop stan, I can reduce it by another 20% and we can really have some fun.

Cheers!

How am I coping or making lame excuses lmfao. Anyways what NJ did in Korea was impressive their physical sales and internatlal stuff less impressive its that simple.

I'll make sure to put an asterisks by all their records and accomplishments, and I'll also forward that revision to Billboard, Spotify and Guinness World Records, with the memo "ForgottenSoul from AKP thinks these are less impressive".

Thank you for providing us with your professional and credible assessment on what stats get to count and what stats don't.

Quote from randkpopstan

I know hybe wallets are exhausted after all of this

Yeah, they actually know how to utilize their resources and connections, unlike JYP's tragic desperation for Western validation and completely missing the mark every single time.

Quote from TheBotter

Easily.

Thanks for the engagement.

Quote from randkpopstan

Not a single thing you mentioned made them a top group, they were way below on sales, touring, views, streams and basically everything to the other actual top groups of 3rd gen, they charting good on kcharts and sometimes having a big hit don't make them a top group stop it, this is not the hill to die on mate, stay in your overestimating newjeans success lane, is easier to defend that than mamamoo being a top group.

I read literally none of this, but I'm amused that you think I, of all people, would give two shits about your comically ignorant opinions on K-Pop. If I wanted to attend someone's stand up routine, I'd go buy tickets to watch someone who's actually funny.

I have a zero tolerance policy for brainless baiting. You'll need to try harder next time. I'm sure you can use something a little more feasible than "one of the five biggest girl groups of their generation wasn't a top girl group", while trying to convince people that a nugu girl group could drop unpromoted singles and all-kill every chart in Korea, with multiple members Perfect-All Killing the charts with multiple solo releases, while setting UL records and scoring PAKs as a group.

LMAO.

Of all the ways you could've tried to combat what I said about you delusional company stans, your recourse is to literally PROVE MY POINT by trying to mock the achievements of a group that came from a much smaller company than Twice or BlackPink.

Nobody feels sorry for you Big 3 stans. But if you want a shoulder to cry on, well, don't use mine, because I don't care.

Twice's digital irrelevance got you crying in the club to start 2024, and I'm loving it.

Keep coping and seething.

Happy New Years!

Quote from TheBotter

Don't you remember that time they had a song go above AIIYL for an hour....Yama barely ever mentions it.

Remember when you weren't a bottom tier troll who contributed zero substance to any conversation and takes pride in it? Me either

And now I've learned that basic units of time are too complex for you to understand.

Apparently weeks has turned into a hour. And here's a word of advice, kid.

A song competing with a "top group" and overshadowing it for almost an entire month doesn't really bolster the delusional opinion that Mamamoo wasn't a top group.

You and that other Once troll have no credibility regardless, but that comment cements it.

We can dive into the numbers if you'd like, but we both know you're not interested in or capable of a good faith argument.

Get that filthy trash out my sight

Quote from randkpopstan

You claiming mamamoo become a top group must be your first joke of the year

Let me know about a time when Twice's overall discography was so loved that they could drop a B-Side with zero promotions and all kill the charts.

I'll wait

I never said Mamamoo was THE top group, but if you want to claim they weren't A top group then that's just you being ignorant. Per the usual.

Mamamoo literally has the most cumulative unique listeners on Melon in girl group history and your corny ass is sitting here trying to act like they weren't a top group in their peak.

Got a PAK in the era you claim it was hardest to get a PAK, when you're overinflating Twice's peak years, but they're not a top group. Set a new record for 24 hour unique listeners in 2017, but nobody was checking for their music right.

I want everyone here to see the intelligence, or lack thereof, behind the comments that trigger these equally stupid arguments.

Happy New Years!!!

Quote from ForgottenSoul

As I said if you could read my post I said what they did in Korea was impressive. I still think comparing era's is pretty dumb though.

You can re-read what I said and see that, again, majority of these achievements happened in the same or even shorter timeline as their peers.

Stop coping and making lame excuses. You're better than that. I hope

Quote from icyruios

Also, not the non organic views portion exposing some groups like

I'm very curious if a group has ever had the three top most streamed songs on Circle. I'm willing to bet, if any group has ever done it, it could only be Big Bang. And if I add the additional criteria of one of those songs releasing in the previous calendar year (Hype Boy), I'm willing to bet it has never happened.

Quote from Icaro_Ribeiro

Is Korean numbers global or only in Korea?

I'm pretty sure it's a mix. The YouTube numbers are global, while the streaming numbers are Korean only. The data wouldn't look like that if it included global streaming.

Unless you're ****ing shareholders in any of these companies, arguing about who is exploiting their industry connections and capital most effectively is the most jobless, brainless and pointless exercise in futility you could get yourself involved in. They're businesses not non-profit charitable foundations. They already profit immensely off your obsession over their products, and now you're going to spend your spare time arguing over who's guilty of doing things they all do? What an insultingly stupid discussion.

But if you want to die on this hill, I'll bring my Red Haired Shanks energy and bring an end to this war. I've woken up ready for violence again.

To the rest of you smooth brains, are you really going to start 2024 the way you ended 2023? Being jealous and emotionally hurt over NewJeans eclipsing all of your favs?

I say this with all the sincerity I can muster. Get a life. Touch grass. Don't waste hours on the Internet crying about things nobody will give a damn about, when it's all said and done.

As a fan of a non-Big 3 girl group for the literal entirety of 3rd generation, I could write dissertations about the competitive and financial advantages, not to mention industry connections, that Big 3 groups had over my favorite group, but do you EVER see me whining about that? My group built their legacy and became a top group starting from NOTHING.

I don't want to ****ing see Big 3 company stans in here complaining about some company privilege bullshit.

If Hybe didn't exist, which companies do you think would be the most guilty of using their resources to give their artists a huge edge over everyone else?

Shut the hell up with all this CRYING about the game not being fair, when it has never been fair or equitable to begin with. It is absolutely pathetic, and of all the people who could whine about NewJeans dominating the world, you all are the least deserving of any demographic in K-Pop.

Get out of here with that BS.

Anyways. That's my Yama Talk.

Happy New Years everyone!

Quote from ForgottenSoul

Yeah no I think Twice and BP had better years.

You have the right to that opinion, but it's not backed by anything other than emotion or jealousy, I'm sure.

The only counterargument to the facts laid out by this post is to discredit, diminish and discard said facts as being "unfair" or "not an even playing field", even though roughly 80% of them happened on an even playing field with the peers who either released music in the same time frame or even had a years long advantage in their time window to promote before NewJeans even debuted.

BLACKPINK, Twice, IVE, (G)I-DLE and any other group you can think of all released music during this same "PEAK OF KPOP" that you're trying to use to undermine NewJeans, but only one group pulled these numbers, and it wasn't even close.

Happy New Years.

This is probably the most aesthetically pleasing stage of 2023 for me. Also, they absolutely killed their last performance of the year. Amazingly stable vocals and they just let themselves have fun.

Nice way to cap off the Year of The Rabbit

NewJeans will remain the moment and the future in 2024. Let's gaaaaaauuuuuuuur

Quote from Teudungi21

Do you really type out that entire list or is it a copy paste situation?

I compiled everything in a separate document. I typed out 90% of it.

In the old days, this would have been a YT video.

Quote from Icaro_Ribeiro

It's mindblowing how much they have accomplished in such a short time. Quite magical to seen teenage kpopers everywhere dancing to their music. Certainly one of their kind

I should add a new bullet point. My friend, who shades me for liking NJ all the time, admitted that she saw them everywhere over the weekend. And she was in VA

Global stars!

Quote from Teudungi21

New Jeans are doing great but they are the clear example of born on third base and think they hit a triple. I mean they're fans of course not the girls themselves. This is impossible to compare to groups who debuted at a time when sales like this weren't common, when internationally kpop wasn't huge. I think the only metric you can argue is domestically but even then the charts existing now are different and the method of streaming versus download is different. basically NJs had an incredible year but NJs has to be one of the most advantaged groups in the history of kpop. Basically they stand on the shoulders of giants.

Happy New Years, everyone!!!

New Year! New Records! NewJeans!

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

What in tarnation does the unfiltered version of Yama look like

Probably banned from the forums

I'm always on my general best behavior when talking K-Pop

But if it's a conversation about sports....

Quote from VanDamme4Life

Amazing post Yama, really appreciate all the work, will definitely save it for future use.

It really is mind-boggling when you see all of Newjeans’ achievements and milestones listed in one spot.

I'm going to make small additions and revisions to the list over the next couple of days!

Quote from zylan

Kudos! i'll drink to this as i wait for their performance on New Year's Rocking Eve in New York.

It just aired! They're a global sensation!

Quote from Popper-of-Ks

Just curious.

Curiosity killed the cat. Only quote me if you have a question worth answering next time.

Thanks.
