The way that member was just answering to a MY attempting to drag yet it's him being insecure and not the other way around being way over confident.

The way this thread uses 1-2 trolls who have consistently posted the same nonsense since the beginning of time to say “SM Sheep” “Revuluvs” “MYs” etc. 
 

#Stopbeingstupidchallenge

 

For example, I would never use Pluto’s opinion to say “Stay Kids fans are xxxx” because he has posted absurd opinions since Day 1 in this thread. 
 

So yes, people using using troll posts to rant about their hatred of a fanbase or group does make you an insecure and bitter loser

 

The worst part is when its a grown ass adult who has been in this thread for YEARS and still doesn't know what a troll is. Still responds to bait every time and still tries to justify their own lame behavior behind "I was just responding to your fanbase!" 

 

no you were responding to someone trolling.

Kpop Songs with most music shows wins in 2023

#GIDLE Queencard — 12 

 

#JISOO FLOWER — 9 
#IVE I AM — 9

 

#NewJeans Ditto — 8
#BSS Fighting (Feat. #LeeYoungJi) — 8

I cannot listen to Queencard anymore. It's already lost its novelty for me. Spicy already also sounds kinda dated. Thirsty outsold. Kitsch is unbearable now. I AM is still decent. Can't really listen to Unforgiven but The Eve still kinda slightly bops but I'm over it.

 

God idk if its just me but these songs are really just lacking replay value outside of the first couple months.

People talking about Giselle’s new look but NN looks different lately. I don’t mind she’s sickening :WAP:

Compared to the amazing songs we got last year, this year is mid 

 

 

tripleS snatching up all these GP999 girlies (Kotone, Nien, Xinyu), debuted like 4 subunits already but they still have 9 more members to go :deadbanana4: its gonna take another year until they debut as a whole... and that will certainly be a stage to see.

oh wow oh wow they truly are legends :clap3: 

can't wait for the performances tonight!

 

 

Wow Swan absolutely devoured

If IU or Taeyeon released this song, it would smash with hundreds of PAKs so it better be a hit

The jealousy third gen stans feel towards fourth gen is giving me so many flashbacks.

 

Aespa

2020 - 0 album sales

2021 - 574,445

2022 - 1,984,556

2023 - 2,166,792

 

BlackPink 

2016 - 0

2017 - 58,332

2018 - 301,181

2019 - 419,563

2020 - 1,735,433

2021 - 469,992

2022 - 2,847,139

2023 - 308,266

 

Blinks, stop being jealous of fourth gen’s success and just be grateful that your faves were able to help elevate K-pop to such a massive global level.

But would HYBE be able to make another big group in America without Discovery Mode? And are you really big here if you have to use payola?

you cannot compare blackpink's 2018 album sales to aespa's 2022 album sales sis :deadbanana:

we can only compare aespa's 2021 to bp's 2021, aespa's 2022 to blackpink's 2022 etc album sales keeps growing every year 

aespa in their 3rd year already on the same league with bp in terms of album sales is such a massive feat (the only 4th gen gg that can compete with bp on album sales dept btw)

 

also, enough with the aespa vs blackpink fights yall boring :fish2:

MYs, stop being jealous of third gen’s success and just be grateful that your fave was able to snatch some bulk buying fans and ride on a wave created by bigger acts who elevated K-pop to such a massive global level to the point of becoming biggest gg in general with record breaking world tour. 

 

All you did was prove that Aespa was stronger in their debut year and second year on Spotify. They did slightly worse in their third year and their fourth year is still going, but they’ll probably do worse because they don’t have streaming farms and Dua Lipa to help them out. Spotify is not a good look for Blinks to fall back on in 2023 because you all just got caught for manipulating “Money’s” streams :deadbanana: 

 

Imagine trying to drag Aespa for bulk-buying as a Blink when part of your fave’s legacy was a huge increase in sales because your fave offered so many different versions of The Album.

Like :skull: BP is by far the biggest kpop gg ever, why would you argue that

TWICE

Physicals - 15,416,824

Digital Downloads - 20M+ (just from certifications) - 2M+ album equivalents

Spotify - 6.73B - 4.486M album equivalents 

YouTube - 12.5B - ~1M album equivalents 

 

BlackPink

Physicals - 6,139,476

Digital Downloads - 12,875,000 (CM 9/1/21) - 1.2875M album equivalents

Spotify - 10.68B - 7.12M album equivalents

YouTube - 24.83B - ~2M album equivalents 

 

TWICE is the only girl group to surpass 20M album equivalents. BP could do it, too, if they were motivated to release, but they seem content on doing a comeback every two years now. BlackPink are the most powerful girl group right now, but TWICE have the biggest career and SNSD have the most important career.

Way to totally misconstrue what happened. A Blink was attempting to drag and so I was dragging third gen stans for still trying to compare their faves to fourth gen. I’m not a MY - I’m a SONE and I watched my faves, who were significantly more popular and important than any third gen acts, get all of their sales records destroyed and learned to be happy about it because it meant my faves had grown K-pop into a much larger field and it added to my fave’s legacy.

 

Blinks and ONCEs need to learn to do the same. Even the fourth most popular fourth gen group (LE SSERAFIM) is moving units faster than TWICE and BP ever did and now BaeMon and SMNGG are coming to do the same.

 I love how she does not even try to lip-sync believably. All hair and moves.  

tbh im fine with the veteran idols serving like that because they’ve paid their dues  :WAP:

 

plus the mic was ON during her tour so idgaf, i got to hear mother almost entirely live (backing track for some choreo moments but it wasn’t overpowering and you could hear her clearly when she came back in) :gaygacat5:

 

Felix sounds so much better and more confident singing in his upper register, queen. Ditch the fake deep voice.

 

Hyunjin talentless we been knew

Where are all these blinks when THAT blink posted about how aespa want to be BLACKPINK so bad (concert wise) after their concert in Jakarta last week :eek:

biggest gg in the world will perform their headlining set in a couple of hours during one of the biggest UK festivals! don’t forget to tune in! :flower:

PLEASE!

 

are you gonna act like Kpop in 2016 can be comparable to kpop in 2021? The only reason Adspa looks “bigger” is because kpop became bigger, thus groups selling more and getting more streams. Thanks to groups like BLACKPINK for the success of Kpop internationally

 

the only thing adspa did was ride off the fame BLACKPINK ushered in.
