Dynamite exists  And it debuted with 30M streams in the US so. Even without mass buy it wouldn’t been number one. 

mass streaming is the 2nd thing armybots are best at after mass buying

writing think-pieces and conspiracies over Fifty Fifty is getting so lame & pathetic. it’s giving jealousy  this era of NewJeans & FiFi being a surprise success in the west is monumental and shouldn’t just be happy for the girls, but kpop in general. the fact that you could still organically rise successfully is very refreshing to see.

 

Cupid’s viral success + their sound is more western (voices being in english sounding natural is a plus) + fits Barbie aesthetic. what’s there to be sus about

As if ANY Kpop idol is a household name in America 

 

Do you think the average Ohio household know who Jennie or Jungkook is without being an extreme chronically online Kpop stan? 

drag it

You all stop being dramatic, I bet kakao is just planning to do some cute promo in the USA for the album release maybe and English single and then full on promo on korea.

[Taylor fanboy]

This is a bop.

 

 

[MusicFan98]

Btw, Enhypen's single is really good wish it was longer but the twinks don't have it in them to serve a great bridge so this is good enough.

[Antisocialites]

not newaespa adding ****-shaming to their list of misogynistic attitude and comments, hopefully it's their last one.  

[illia]

Just had a very random dream about Babymonster debut

 

The title track was VERY similar to this song, the MV had very bright colors too, Chiquita was the center 

That's all I remember 

 

 

[Harrier]

If anything the learning for SM is gonna be they can afford to try and push Aespa in North America again since they have not really suffered for it in the long term. The My World era is their most successful overall. Girls apparently didn't do anywhere near the damage we all thought it did 

 

It's annoying I agree with y'all, but let's not panic. At least we're still getting music and performances that's the main thing. They'll flop again and then come back for a Korean push next year  

[Sorecer]

I'm extremely addicted to the cupid song is insanely catchy you guys keep fuming but the truth is the song is a hit

 

Happy for the girls

Omggg, I.N on Lee Mujin's show

Drunk Dazed had a godly bridge though so that's not true.

it’s not their faves catching on with the public therefore it can’t be organic and real

If SM wants to push aespa in the West, they better not go with a snoozefest like LTS  

I don't know what's wrong with Kpop's AR team when it comes to Western releases. Like who the **** approved Life's Too Short, Ice Cream, Boys Like You

I just realized the song needs more "i'm a mess" part in the end, they should add it or replace the "girl wanna have fun" part with it. The former part is so addicting and slaying. When Sakura is being the center during it is sooo powerful

Came to say this. If they can steer in the direction of actual polished, well-crafted music like Hold On Tight, the occidental push wouldn’t bother me.

 

Their approach just needs to be a bit more subdued and less aggressive than last year, also.

Finally Rei is back!!!!

The blue haired girl in Queendom Puzzle was the only one I wasn't familiar with, but she's a whole server too  a potential bias wrecker if she makes it I fear

if that's the case then BTS and their fraudulent, mass bought for high peak then freefalls the next week "hits" aren't global hits too

 

 

Interesting narrative, exactly the same thing BP has done but with no high peaks lol

It's hilarious that BP are left with no achievements when you apply the same standard to them 

 

Tbh, despite how much promo they have, BP has failed to make a dent in USA, Latin-America and Europe.

Their Korean charting was impressive but it seems like the peaked with DDDD as they are unable to reach #1 with their recent comebacks. They have been matched in popularity by other groups in China and they failed to enter the Japanese market. Even in Asia, they are not the biggest powerhouse.

That's just reality

are you living in some alternate universe? BP are on the record breaking tour, they have a shot at outdoing BTS biggest tour, so I wouldn’t say things you’re trying to force here  

 

also, it would be nice to see some receipts proving those points you’re making but oh well, you can’t, right? since they are far from the reality
