One thing I don’t get with this thread is acting like people buy albums for music. They don’t in Kpop. It’s a collectible. # of songs doesn’t matter. If there is a physical release fans will buy it. Hence Lisa and Rose’s album sales also with single albums. 
 

And Kpop fans also mostly only care about title tracks. So even if they “only” have 4 songs they’ve had 2 title tracks in the last 5-6 months that have both been well received. If they were mini albums it would have made no difference

Yeah this kinda true tbh it does not matter. A full album though usually does see an increase in people buying

It was supposed to be "over" for them apparently since 2020, so why is their latest album snatching double platinum?

 

 

 

[Zack]

Lmao the mess if they actually do this...

 

Though the streets are saying it's just ae-HYO since she's been wearing the rejects from the Savage wardrobe in her teasers.

Lol chill I’m not saying people buy albums for music, it definitely is for collectibles and we all know that. But we also know that the sales are usually bigger when it’s a full album or at least a mini. IVE about to pass a million copies with just single albums with two songs each is still impressive.

It’s embarrassing…

like how do you even defend that? 
They’re favs are not above criticism and they need to realise it’s ok to hold their favs accountable for the things they do wrong. I couldn’t imagine blindly supporting everything my favs do… 

A vile VILE fanbase. They’re literally deranged, like there’s no other explanation. Imagine being THIS blind over a bunch of guys that don’t even know you exist.

And we're glad! She looks great with this hair color! I'm still surprised she kept that kind of blonde even during her hiatus, it feels like such a chore to keep + damaging to the hair, her scalp must be immortal 

her scalp hasn’t been able to properly breathe since 2019  at least sis is going back to a darker hair color I guess. She’s gorgeous either way but idk when can we see her natural black hair again.

Sep 2014 vs Apr 2015 is 5 minutes

Like do people believe that these idols watched the Sica leaked version  

That version is only known to international Kpop sphere. It's their live performance that were often cited by newer idols as cool
 

But yeah, plenty of new gen groups were singing to Party, Lion Heart and even Holiday, so I can't be bothered about naysayers.

 

It's been 6 years since this gem. I wish she can give us another chill bop like this again

 

[hallucinate]

the way this is like the greatest song of all time, i love stanning talent

Not you sneaking IVE and RV in here 

 

IVE will def sell 1 million albums from a comeback in the future, they have just sold 600k. RV somehow grew fanbase this cb and sold almost 700K, considering they are doing trilogy again this year, one of their next albums could potential sell more than 1 million but we’ll see.

BP def selling 2 millions though

Have no clue about Lesserfim aside from Sakura and that scandal but the way that they chose CMIYC and Lil Touch to cover, I approve 

Can't wait to see Sakura perform Lil Touch on stage even before OH!GG 

SNSD remains the most impactful gg of all time. Fast forward to 2032, they will still get mentioned but I doubt anyone from 3rd gen will be remembered as much, except for bp I guess.

 

SJJD did THAT first, in freaking 2012

 

 

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

Yes, SM really struck gold with SNSD and AESPA

Or not, because some say she apparently left SM and is currently training at YG

 

The kii if she pops up in Baemon or whatever it's gonna be called. 

[thirdward]

it’s actually quite weird twice didn’t reach 1M before 

i can see some groups coming close and not reaching it but next year 1M sales will be regular 

[zaso]

do album sales even matter anymore when these groups have 20 versions (thank u exo) and are selling their albums for $5?

 

touring is the better determinant of their fandom power and i don't think any one of the current can have a tour as successful as twice or bp in the future

Yeah, why else she would train at YG if not to debut in Baemon, aiming for dungeon goals like BP and Somi?

Could be training to be an actress, or to be a model, or to work at Burning Sun, or work in production and management -- there are many options at a big agency.
