It’s a mix of both, a lot of casual listeners in SEA and the West who streams on Spotify and Yt. IVE are big on Tik tok too(Dear Cupid)!  Most of IVE dedicated fans are from China, Japan and SK. People who aren’t loud on twitter but who buy albums and merch. Which is what matters. 

Also Im seeing more and more Rei and Liz Stans on twitter. 

I don’t think LSRFM is bigger than IVE fandom. NJ maybe but we will see in December

 

Anyways almost 3 millions in 1 year and without a global distributor. It’s insane actually :jonnycat:

 

 

But they don't have a Fandom :bibliahh:

With their mini or full I can see them being close to the 2M 

I can't believe they have almost 3M copies sold with only singles! :jonny5:

RV about to release yet another mini album  :deadbanana4:

I guess our best hope is that SM repackages FMR and this new mini into a full album next year.

Like they did with Day 1 + Day 2 = Finale.

 

Idk why they keep avoiding RV3 though. Like FMR sold 700k and their restocked old albums together have sold around 800k this year. So it's not like a full album wouldn't do numbers :deadbanana4:

this being top 3 in their discography despite the shitty mixing

Sales won't be any difference between a full album & mini. And it takes less efforts & money to produce a mini vs a full album

 

That's why IVE is churning out those single albums for quick cash

RV went from one of the biggest international gg hits of all time with Psycho straight into being underpromoted and fandom driven after aespa debuted. The fact that I've seen aespa 4 times this year in the US and Red Velvet only came here in 2019 and one time to kcon.

 

They always pull this **** with their groups and it kills tons of international potential. RV could easily fill arenas all around the world right now.  :deadbanana2:

To be fair FMR had a lot more effort put into it than a quick little IVE bop droplet. :bird:

We need an aespa comeback early next year SM  :redface:

I mean this would make sense if SM was purely investment driven, like Starship is. But we know they are not (at least not until Kakao finally gets their claws in anyway).

 

Proof of that is the fact that, this year, they invested in SNSD's 7th FULL album, even though it's barely scraping 230k on Hanteo overall vs. FMR's 600k (for a mini) or even Seulgi's mini which sold 200k just over 2 weeks after its release.

 

I'd also say aespa is in the same boat and they are getting overdue for their 1st full album too. SM's priorities are so weird.

I mean even before that, RV had Bad Boy which is eligible for RIAA Gold certification in the U.S....except SM won't sign them to a U.S. label :ace:

 

RV have 2 Gold eligible singles in the U.S. and an English speaker. A U.S. debut really should have been attempted, but at this point, SM has shown they aren't interested in that for RV. Even though in 2019, Capitol's senior vice president was basically begging to sign RV.

Reveluvs complaining about a damn full album when aespa isn’t getting one this year :ghostface:

Aespa's debut full album is not a priority, RV's 3rd is. TVXQ and SuJu have like 10 albums each, Boa has like 10 albums too, SHINee has like 6 six, EXO has 6, SNSD has 7 full albums, Taeyeon has 3 full solo albums, and even NCT has like 9 albums combined:rip: Hell, f(x) has 4 full albums.

RV is the most priority because 2 full albums in 8 years is just ridiculous, especially since their contract is ending in less than 2 years.

 

aespa full album is not a massive priority *yet*, but if they don't get one in the first half of next year, then it will be.

 

Only CSJH The Grace and NCT had to wait 2 years+ for a full album. And The Grace were a flop and NCT still released 4 mini albums before their full album.

 

Aespa only has 2 mini albums in 2 years.

Hopefully they release the Korean version on their full album.

Imagine complaining about a full album when they get to release consistent music since their debut. What's the difference anyway? IVE single album doubled RV mini album sales. RV full album is not gonna magically make them sell more than aespa

 

The obsession over not getting full albums (while getting 2 mini albums in a year) and considered that as a mistreatment is laughable. Also if SM is so focused on profit they would only make NCT and aespa release music. They would have dropped RV and stopped many of the solo projects ages ago.

this narrative that neither of the HYBE new GGs can sing needs to end NOW

 

LSF Yunjin is literally classically trained and will most likely end up being regarded in the same way as Wendy once she gets to really show off

 

Haerin in NewJennies clearly has immense vocal talent, even without showing much range yet. her runs and riffs are soooo smooth though

These Triple S girls are a mix of Newjeans and LeSseraffim :deadbanana2: At least visually

Reveluv are in it for the talent and the music. Not the sales. I know that might be a hard pill to swallow for you. We're just discussing sales because from a business perspective it seems like a bad choice NOT to give a full album to a group that shifted 1m units this year. :thing:

This is a poor argument because the industry has room for all these groups. If NCT and aespa were enough to saturate the market on their own there wouldn't be other companies or groups to begin with. Red Velvet has had to promote against EXO, SNSD, NCT, aespa, and still carved out a steady fanbase of their own even with some of the biggest pop music acts of the last decade in the whole world coming from their company. :deadbanana2:

Anti fragile still hits HARD

 

I have to say 2022 has been so good for k-pop. A total renovation of sound and visuals

 

EDIT: Only GGs. BGs keep doing the same **** since 2016. NCT ruined boy groups I fear

Yeah I’ve noticed how majority of this thread tries to create a narrative that HYBE does not have any vocal talent or just tries to flat out ignore the vocalists in their groups, both ggs and bgs.
i mean half of Seventeen itself can outsing their fave groups from other companies :rip: so a little awareness could help these people me thinks :coffee2:

That’s not thanks to Hybe at all. Except for TXT & Enhypen, all HYBE groups have at least 1-2 competent singers.

Yeah, she can’t showcase her real skills even Chaewon is quite good. 
but Haerin isn’t better than hanni and Danielle.

it's so funny seeing such heated conversation about BP in this thread, from both sides (haters and Blinks). this whole roll-out, album and tour has been so boring to me...like where do you get the fire to go to bat or to bash these girls?

 

where are the new, experimental sounds? where's the personality besides "I'm a bad *****" (which Roseanne is clearly sick of)

 

HYLT, Lovesick Girls, COY, Pretty Savage outro >>>>>>> Boring Pink
