G-IDLE have so many Spotify streams because they are linked to all their KDA songs that did very well worldwide with the gaming community so all KDA streams go to G-IDLE as well 

 

kinda unfair if you ask me but still deserved because Soyeon truly carried that project with her best rap parts

Okay but both Tomboy and NXDE did well on Spotify my bag has literally 50M streams despite being a b-side. So.

I may be wrong but i'm hearing more and more about companies launching ggs than bgs, I find it great although with so many it will be hard for some to stand out, also praying for my 3rd gen hags

Aespa visuals are no joke, they stand out so much while being with other girlies, lol to think that delulus here spamming yoon and isa of stayc calling them could be the it girls if theyre from big company.. Sure jan  they even cant compete with giselle if theyre being side by side like this.. Also not them being awkward not blocking karina and giving karina free space lol..

 

Even sakura cant stand a chance against winter and karina... Whew...

that applies to literally anything on kpop today.

for example: bp's 2020 The Album - album sales cannot be compared to 2022 girl group million sellers/album sales.

it was a different time

 

you cannot compare rv's birthday 800k on hanteo in 2022 vs the album's 800k on hanteo in 2020 like

 

so lists like these can only be compared to the releases on the same year tbh

They will say anything to discredit BP's achievements lol

I didn't know BIGBANG covered "Candy" too

needless to say, their version >>>

Chenle, Jaehyun, Johnny, Yangyang, and Mark also have super rich families, and I don't doubt most of the other members come from pretty well off families (like Lucas' family apparently owns a big chain restaurant franchise in China).  Tbh I don't think Jaemin is even in the Top 10 of wealth in NCT which is crazy because he casually buys his members designer gifts.

 

Imagine if NY Magazine did a nepotism babies issue for K-POP... it would be thicker than all Lord of the Rings books put together.

Nepotism is honestly a really overlooked problem in kpop these days… people always wondering why so many idols debut that are talentless now, this is why.

Why is it a problem if someone is rich an untalented lmao?? Like if we're coming for those then we'd have to drag the untalented and poor even more Kim there's people dying.

[lauvender]

I always think of Lia whenever nepotism babies in kpop comes up… like no hate to the girl, but she’s the best JYP had for the group?? and the fact that Yuna was chosen after her like huh? 
 

she’s not that great of a vocalist and sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the other members… I’m pretty sure she bought a spot in the group.

 

again no hate because I actually don’t mind her, but I’m just like huh-

[lauvender]

Anyways stan idols that earned their success from the BOTTOM like Dara from 2NE1, IU and V from BTS

It’s less of a “___ vs. ___” and more of a “how high can the record constantly be set.”
 

For those of us who knew K-pop during the Korean music market crash, it’s incredible to see. There was a time where SNSD were the saviors of female K-pop because they got an album over 100k sales. Now IVE are doing 2.9M pure sales and 1.4B+ digitals in just their debut year (setting an all-time record) and we have another girl group threatening to do even better. This is the biggest win since SJJD and BP broke the 1M barrier for female groups  

its not the same like... at all. like I said, you can only compare the sales and digitals on the year they were released  

everyone sells millions in 2022

 

sjjd was the kpop gg million seller back then - bp was the only million seller in 2020 are not the same as ive, newjeans, kepler, aespa, nmixx, itzy, twice, red velvet etc all selling millions in 2022 be serious

Not Treasure being compared to Stray Kids. Let's see if Treasure makes it out of '23 intact tbh.
