I never know what you’re talking about tbh

 

Didn’t you also “read some stuff” about some other male idol a few days ago and it turned out to be fake?

Yeah I keep googling them for more pics but stumble on some negative post or something, I should stop  Or at least keep it to myself especially if it's from a long time ago anyway

And Wonwoo already apologized so it's all good

And to that Lady Gaga stan who came for how I write my sentences or whatever in here, English is not my first language and I speak 4 languages fluently, while your dusty self probably barely speak 1 language yourself. The only non English words you probably know are the little bit of German lyrics from Lady Gaga's Scheiße and nothing else

 

Don't worry about them sis, I am convinced that that user and miss 100 years are either dupes or just two very sad individuals that sit in 1 room to coordinate posting and ganging up on other users over their fossilized out of touch takes.

 

You spilled because like smates said before I got into kpop I had vaguely HEARD of SNSD but couldn't recognize a single song by them - on the other hand I didn't know who 2NE1 were but I recognized IATB immediately.

Probably the reason is cause SNSD was extremely huge in Asia while 2ne1 was mostly west driven so of course if you are from the west you would probably heard more of 2ne1 than SNSD 

 

The problem here is many argue and cry about west achievements and totally ignore Asia is a huge part of the world and where the biggest market of K-pop is 

 

It’s just recently with the 3rd gen that K-pop grew more in the west 

 

SNSD were bigger in Asia

2ne1 in the west 

 

overall SNSD wins because the market in Asia at that time it was way bigger than the west

I mean I think SNSD is overall bigger than 2NE1 but that doesn't make Gee bigger than IATB. IATB managed to reach me outside the kpop bubble before the western kpop expansion that we see today and I think that speaks volumes to how big it was globally. And btw I know that this is all anecdotal, but Pluto posted the stats earlier and they also show that IATB is the bigger song globally

happy newjeans day

Gee wasn't on Spotify for years. It also had an enormous lead on youtube before IATB started getting licensed for use on TV and in commercials in the US. Both were my ult groups am not aware of any country on earth where IATB did better on release.

This isn't entirely true because SNSD was breaking into iTunes charts and minor Billboard charts much easier and more regularly than 2NE1 at the time. Both were my ult groups at the time and the popular sentiment was that SNSD was the biggest group in the world but that 2NE1 had an enormous amount of potential in the west(which we sadly never got to see realized).

@Ryan can you do a dupe check on me please? This person can't keep my name out of their mouth and now they're coming for my friend @lgaga1fan because they cannot stomach that they lost an argument about BTS last week. This is the second time I've been accused of having a duplicate account in a day.

Curiously, I didn't know neither SNSD nor 2NE1, but I knew Super Junior. I found out who they were in 00s before knowing what K-pop is. They were very well known within a niche here in Brazil (and Latam as whole, I guess)

[CandyCoatedClouds]

The thread goes so fast but you actually read through it, most of the time it's just garbage. Incredible.

 

 

 

Anyway, NCT Dream's new album is good but some of the songs are so ...odd. and not just in the regular nct way.

Also, who was the user that asked about albums sales and how much the company takes from it, I don’t remember your name, but I found this if you still wanted to know

Hey, It was me, Mel!

SM's is beliavable. But I think YG's and JYP's is too high for the artists. I don't know how they'd be giving 70% to them judging the production, packaging and distribution costs.

Pretty sure their career is alive to this day only thanks to Latin America

I saw them at Kamp LA last year and there were definitely some girls there not speaking English. Even if it's for Super Junior of all people you gotta stan the dedication 

[MonsterNavy]

a 1 year old group already having 5m sales in total is just

Mina is given this kind of question lately. Will jype finally let one of the Twice girls act? Jype have Junho as their resident actor and whoever is choosing projects for him deserve a raise. His dramas (red sleeve & king of the land) are doing well.
