I lost trust in all men.

 

Not Haruto from Treasure being homophobic and being loud about it. 

 

Plus his Koreans fans turning on him and leaking his private SNS accounts, him being friend with problematic accounts and saessangs.

do they really need the GP when their amount of fans get their albums into the top 10 best selling Korean albums of all time, #6 best selling album worldwide in 2022, sold out concert tores, etc?

 

it seems the GP are Stray Kids stans by default

To be fair though, they've had years of headstart compared to other big groups of this gen, and that gave them more time to garner a fanbase. Not to take away from their growth though, Bang Chan and friends did see a meteoric rise over the years. It's just that i feel like whenever someone calls SKZ and GIDLE 4th gen and compares them with newer groups, it'll forever be kinda weird to me.

Also it's kinda messy that the Korean GP still says NO to their music even after all these years...like not even zombie streams :rip:

Not over an hour long video :deadbanana2:

but i absolutely love how he always talks about the production, the lighting, the cinematography etc....like i realize how much stuff i overlook in these music videos until I watch his reactions :ducky:

the way Stray Kids have still yet to release an original song in English despite being able to sell stadiums in America

The way this person was ranking the Music Bank Paris performances and rated SKZ's performance bad because the cheers were too loud :toofunny2: Like girl it's a concert, what do you expect  especially when most people attended the event for SKZ

With Stray Kids's success it's strange that JYP isn't trying to launch another boy group. It's been 6 years since Stray kids launched.

 

SM is dragging their feet on a post-NCT boy group too and would rather debut another girl group to compete with aespa.

 

Trainee A got scrapped too.....

 

Are the companies scared?

I think it's because JYP is mostly a gg company, and they aren't really used to have a successful boy group like that, and they didn't expect that SKZ would be this big when they launched them at first. Keep in mind that SKZ's predecessors were GOT7 for example, so they weren't really expected to fill in big shoes compared to other groups like TXT etc.

Btw, JYP will launch a new boy group this year actually known as "JYP Loud"

Stray Kids are the Melanie Martinez of K-pop :clap3:

 

Good album sales + good touring stats but no hits and absolutely irrelevant to the GP eyes

well at least they can snatch hits in Japan, if  Korea doesn't care about them + they also have a member with a big bullying scandal that even made it to the Korean news, so it would 5x time harder for them to snatch a gp hit in their home country sadly.

after a quick spreadsheet calculation:

 

aespa - 977,328,397 (also contains streams from remixes on their page)

Lesserafim - 699,119,271

 

 

also some soloists I mentioned earlier:

 

Chungha - 718,484,161 (i knew she had a lot of material but i didnt know she has SO many OSTs:deadbanana2:)

Sunmi - 652,070,043

Jessi - 461,869,111

Somi - 484,722,927

Hyuna - 396,366,630

Kang Daniel - 145,880,573 (y'all better stream my man he makes good music)

 

 

I didn't check the soloists who are still a part of active groups because there's too many of them :rip: I might check the big ones like the BP girls, Nayeonce, EXO boys, etc. though.

Rei recently visited a hospital for an examination and consultation after noticing abnormal symptoms such as heart palpitations and the doctor’s diagnosis was that rest and treatment was required.

God's Menu is literally the 3rd most viewed 4th gen song and the most liked 4th gen song of all time with over 7.1M likes on Youtube. It was also the 3rd most streamed 4th gen song on Spotify before NewJennies surpassed it recently. 

 

It's the song that made SKZ what they are today so speak kindly about Miss God's Menu, thank you

Idk, I don’t really follow them like that except GODle. Wasnt Loona’s company on the verge of bankruptcy or smth and most of the girlies sued them? Thoughts and prayers :rip:

 

GODle has been consistently getting bigger over the years and getting hits though, and they became digital monsters recently and their latest album sales also crossed 800k. Especially coming from a shitty company like Cube, all of that is hella impressive, so happy for them. Deserved :clap3:

Their streams are too low to be even compared to these artists but i can check and post. Send me a list!
Hwasa though I didn’t check because “I didn't check the soloists who are still a part of active groups” as there’s a lot of them and I’ll do them at a later time.

What a dumbass. Down to 4 members. On the bright side, if they ever decide to release another song there won't be his annoying voice in it anymore.

But I will say tho lol

 

i just saw that NMIXX has crossed 800k with their recent release and I’m sorry, but something is just so fishy about their sales and has been from the beginning. When I tell you I don’t see ANYONE talking about them outside of this thread. Where are all those sales coming from?

 

and y’all told me they would decline losing Jinni, it seems like the opposite has happened lol

Other than their growing fandom, they actually do a **** ton of store exclusive photocards so big collectors will buy from all the stores. Their last album had like 70+ different sets and this era has 50+ so far. Store exclusive photocards are common practice now but even to this level is very extreme. I think itzy also does a ton as well so clearly seems to be JYP'S album selling strategy for girl groups. I think even Stray Kids doesn't do this many different sets...

 

And it does work. I have a friend that collectors ATEEZ and she legit joins group orders to get her faves pc from all the stores. Every comeback, she technically buys 50+ albums (she just gets the pcs, the albums are trashed in Korea) :deadbanana2:
