Sistar was not only digital sales...... they did SO many events and festivals at their peak. I remember reading an old article that during college festival season they might have 3-4 schedules in one day, and each event paid ~10k for a 20-30 minute performance. It's not like they just released digital singles and didn't do anything else. They were hustling every day of the week for 7 years. Buying a 1.5 million dollar building after 4 years of working is impressive but it was probably on a mortgage and Sistar was one of the top groups of their gen. That's really the bare minimum...

The Israel-Palestine war is not some frivolous content you get to use to troll.

The rest of the album is mid but "Either Way" is a masterpiece. Been on repeat for me the last few days.

BTS (as a group) is the bigger celeb, but Faker is his own cultural phenomenon in South Korea. Even beyond SK, Faker single-handedly shaped the competitive esports narrative on a global scale when he exploded on the scene. Competitive LoL would not be as big as it is today without him. Happy for him and his team's exemption, it's well-deserved even if their government is a mess.

This is the weirdest thread ever. Why is it so long? And what's New Jeans even doing in the OP? They've never even held a proper concert before. Please don't tell me this thread is in response to the dumb Immortal Songs concert in NYC. Sometimes it's better to ignore noise and wait for future results. Plenty of time to act defensive or smug (whichever you prefer) when NJ actually start touring.

this episode was so funny!! They must be really close, since Taehyung said he can't remember the last time they spoke formally to each other. The band arrangements were seriously so good, and both of them sounded amazing.

Fry’s Dream was a famous unreleased AKMU written song that people have been waiting for years for so not surprised it’s doing so well.
Originally written for IU iirc
"Fry's Dream" has been a favorite among both IU and Akmu fans since 2014 so it's had almost 10 years to build hype lol.

Also can't believe Jungkook managed to snatch #1 on Melon weekly - among all his other global achievements it may seem insignificant but it's a huge indicator of his domestic potential imo. Very curious if he'll manage to even chart b-sides when the full album drops.

Or 25k for concerts
25k is only possible with majority standing sections (like some of Big Bang's old concerts) but that's pretty rare, most people who perform at Gocheok have ~16-18k capacity.

Blackpink was the biggest 3rd gen debut, NJ is the biggest 4th gen debut but if I had to compare the two then I agree NJ had the biggest debut overall.
But it is a liiiittle funny that OP first wrote a superlative ("biggest debut in history"), people quickly pointed out that Seo Taiji takes the cake, and OP qualified the title with "in modern kpop history" so they can still get the conclusion/praises for NJ that they want. NJ really did smash tho so congrats to them and I hope this compliment makes OP's day a lil brighter.
Also, there's no need to be defensive if your group didn't have the ~~biggest debut ever. Ofc it's impressive and an achievement but there's also fun in growth (which I'm sure NJ will grow to even bigger heights as well). My fav literally flopped her entire rookie year, it just makes me nostalgic for how far she's climbed

The song is a verified HIT

Their "Celebrity" cover was very impressive, Haerin and Danielle did great singing the high notes. NJ have some of the best vocal group chemistry among ggs imo.

That's the key, the abnormal level of popularity is what guarantee NJs stages releases to get so much traction. Do you see the same impact for Nmixx and Itzy pre releases? Because I really don't
It's as if NJ is in a loop of popularity, where their humongous popularity make people to immediately listen to them, and doing so they start spamming their music and making other people listen to them which creates further anticipation for the next releases
This do not imply other groups don't release quality music, but it means they don't come close to NJ hype and buzz
I mean no one else comes close to the scale of NJ promo - they had a powerpuff promo for an intro song, an apple collab for a title, and tony leung cameo for another title. Ofc that's all possible bc NJ are the hottest group right now so yes the hype feels like a feedback loop. Good on Ador for successfully leveraging the hype and popularity into actual streams, and considering their growth trajectory they haven't even hit their peak yet.

They don't, I'm not disputing this lol
They generally have 2 MVs for their titles tracks, as well as some comeback trailer, or MVs for their solo songs
I'm only stating they DO released multiple MVs for their albums, so you cannot say Hybe did not invested on BTS vidoegraphy because they did, exactly because Hybe (when still Bighit) saw a lot of value on BTS music
Oh, I also agree Hybe invested a lot into BTS. My reply was to @bangmenah's argument that not releasing an MV for every song means a company doesn't think the music is worth the budget.
Anyway all I was saying is that I think having staggered MV releases did help drum up more hype for NJ's songs, even if it's not the only reason. Tbh I forgot Aespa also released mini-MVs for their bsides (without much fanfare) and it's unfortunate that more people didn't listen to them bc "my world" has been the most interesting album for me this year.

BTS full albums used to have 12 tracks, so sure they don't have MV to all tracks but they always released many MVs, as well as performances to side tracks.
Considering I not only own 6 BTS albums, a lighstick and actually went to their concerts I believe I'm qualified enough to discuss their career and say for sure investing on their side tracks is one of the reasons why they got so popular
Please list any BTS 12-track album where they released anywhere close to 6 MVs? Performances are not the same thing lmao, almost every popular group will perform a couple bside tracks even on music shows.
