If BP girls don't all re-sign, what happens with Coachella :deadbanana2:

 

 

My dream scenario is that Jisoo doesn't sign on and leaves the group to become an actress, leaving us with an incredibly iconic trio. A Little Mix tea. If only

I think the world tour (all of it, until the end of the year) and festivals (coachella, hyde park etc) are all part of their old contracts already.

absolutely not

all 4 deserve the same amount, let's not shortchange Jisoo and Rosie

Jisoo is literally earning the most right now

If they stay the will probably be offer the same amount, but the conditions are also very importants. Lisa for example could ask for more %  on her SEA and China activites.

 

And Jisoo is not the one who’s earning the most.

It seems fake and no Jennie ? 

Jennie is in Paris and sometimes she doesn’t attend some Chanel events especially the ones related to Chanel beauty since she’s under HERA

Not SKZ having the best selling album last year in KOREA that sold 1.3M and being the ONLY million seller in KOREA as well :rip: They are also the only Korean act to have multiple albums in the top 10! 

The top 10 best selling albums in Korea:
The gap :rip: SKZ selling more than BTS and Lim Young Woong etc. in Korea :ohwow:

From the Naver article:

“Stray Kids is evaluated to have succeeded in building a solid fandom in Korea after showing off its strong overseas popularity, such as reaching the top twice on the Billboard main album chart 'Billboard 200' last year.”

An official from the music industry said, "In addition to last year's album activities, Stray Kids has grown the size of domestic fandom through continuous activities such as fan meetings, world tours, pop-up stores, and their own content. After winning the first place in 'Billboard 200' with 'Oddinary', expectations for them have also increased."

 

 

Is it really Korean sales??

 

Cuz I was told only Chinese bars bought aespa's album?

The massive sales jump from Oddinary 500k to Maxident 1.3M despite Maxident was not well received by Stays.

Not him ending Hyunjin like that

I think Hyunjin will take back the spot for their next (Korean)? cb since everyone sales was going up to the point of nugu groups can even sell 100k for the first week.

 

Nonetheless congrats to Yeonjun and Moas.

Yeonjun bar had the highest 4th gen male idol preorder sales in 2020, 2021 and first half of 2022. TXT didn't have a comeback in the second half.

It was V and Jungkook who had the biggest male C-bar pre-order until Hyunjin and Felix came through with MAXIDENT

 

The highest male C-bar order ranking then looked like this:

1. Hyunjin

2. V

3. Felix

4. Jungkook

 

But now the 4th gen it-boy has taken 1st place

Am I really the only one here who thinks these sales are extremly sketchy lmao.

 

The second BTS started selling millions suddenly all these SM and JYP nugu groups became million sellers too. These sales aint believable if its not BTS, BP and lowkey NJ

Lisa would be DUMB not to accept that £81M offer. Like truly this might be the end of BP as we know it. They all have their global platforms and connections now. YG is a liability!

This is 4th gen bg only. V was still #1 for overall until Hyunjin snatched his record, and now the it-boy snatching Hyunjin's record as well

You must be trolling

Sometimes I do troll a little but this is a serious take.

Since 94s like Kai and Sehun have yet to enlist, and EXO/SuperM planning comebacks this year (I imagine they will enlist by the end of this year/top of next) — I feel SVT won’t begin their enlistment era until the end of 2024/2025, with 95s (minus Joshua) going. So I think we have at least 2 more years.

Wait I forgot that there's some 93 liners are yet to get enlistment which of course excluding BTS due to them being special case. Take example of Monsta X OT7, Wonho being 93 liners just enlisted on last December and Minhyuk and Kihyun being 93 liners as well are yet to get enlisted. This is where I'm getting confused because I did read some source that the government amend the enlistment law in the last few years so the Korean male must getting enlist by the time they reached 28th birthday as opposed to old law which is 30th birthday. So I think SVT are saved for now until like 2025 if they follow the old law.

Yeah I think so too. Unless they wanna start early and get it out of the way quicker. So Joshua and Vernon don’t have to enlist right? Along with Jun and The8 of course. 
and it’s wild how EXO is STILL not completely done with the military service, thank god there is a group comeback this year otherwise we have to wait another 2 years for it :rip:

i don’t even want to think about that once SVT starts their enlistment. 

Unless SVT pull ONF that the Korean nationality members go enlist together or by batches, the OT13 military hiatus could be as long as EXO :rip:

I was actually reading tea about how Vernon does have to enlist (cause even though he was born in New York) his family moved to Korea when he was 5, and he ended up obtaining his Korean citizenship. So only Joshua, Jun and The8 will be the constants left while the boys are gone.

 

I'm really intrigued to see how the group manages with less members. I obviously love OT13, but the biggest drawback against SVT for non fans has always been the size of 13 members, so I'm actually excited to see how they'd operate as a smaller unit for a few years - before everyone returns :celestial5:

Yeah I remember Vernon have to serve military because he's live inside Korea long enough and IIRC received primary education in Korea despite being born overseas.

aespa's fanbase in China literally have proof of them purchasing. & all of them, except for Giselle, are very popular there.

So looks like it is your problem for not believing, not us :giraffe:
