the way every group and their mothers are clearing 2mil+ preorders with ease nowadays

this is more of an achievement for kpop and less of the individual group's achievement

photocard capitalism won

So in hindsight, did 'Zero' by NewJeans age like fine wine? Or did it age like milk? Discuss.

I never understood how BIGBANG never were big album sellers and instead had high digitals and high GP recognition like girl groups?  Like if we compare them to their peers, Super Junior, TVXQ, SHINee all outsold them even though BIGBANG was obviously the biggest 2nd gen boy group.

I like it overall, the melody and overall feel is good, I wish they didnt waste this on an ad, but I guess they have better material for the cb

Yeah i guess success and lots of money is not everyone's priority. Eun Woo felt satisfied enough to act in those movies or series while also performing music with his mates, maybe he didn't want to give up the music side of his career.

Yeah I guess Eunwoo is satisfied enough with his acting career. He’s earning a lot of money from his cfs.

multi talented KING :WAP:

we love an actor AND a singer :clap3:

 

eunwoo is a cutie but he doesn’t have the range or talent i fear

I mean with BH Entertainment he could have done some small roles in more serious mv projects like others idols.

Can’t believe LD was released the same day as Big bang comeback. Like if it wasn’t for them LD would have been #1 for months I fear

Same especially with how popular GD and BB were in China and the other dude was also super popular in Japan.  Digimons in SK aren’t big albums sellers. Idk why South Korean gp don’t buy physicals albums.

I feel like it's just a YG thing, not just BIGBANG

2NE1, AKMU, IKON, WINNER etc never were big album sellers

they all dominated digitally 

 

it wasn't until BLACKPINK came along that physical albums increased

The verses are good then the AWFUL chorus came in... Like people can stop pretending that this chorus was good now since it aged :coffee2:

It's cause what makes boygroups building huge fandoms is not simple only because they are men, but the intention behind of how they are marketed and the way they are promoted to a specific demography. 

 

They reach emotional connection through parasocial relationship due personality, storyline and how much the audience relate to them. And when I say parasocial relationship is not only a manner of create an ideal boyfriend, but believing their achievements is your achivements, their fights are your fights and they somehow need protection, to believe you know their dynamics and overall personality as you were part of their friends' group etc. 

 

But BIGBANG were never marketed that way in any means. They were marketed as an exclusive type of group who is not like the other boygroups and are actual artists who focus only on music. They saw It worked with BIGBANG and tried with their other groups until TREASURE, who is their first group marketed as a typical boygroup.

 

BLACKPINK is an anomaly, tho. I believe they never expected to see them reaching this level of success.

Unlike the majority of their peers, they were ugly and short so the male korean general public could relate and listen to them. Male stans did not feel 'weird' or ashamed, because BigBang were marketed as "real artists" and not just "pretty boys".

Was calling them ugly necessary though? :biblio:

 

just because they didn't visit Dr. Kim before every promotion cycle and comeback 

like a lot of idols do...your favs included, was it necessary?

Last night I watched Blackpink live, It was amazing. Jisoo stole everyone heart, she was very cute and funny in her interactions. They didn't sing PWF and YYY but they did AIYL and Boombayah. Overall I have a great night :heart:
