When a top Korean twitch streamer creates a virtual girl group, there's a built in audience that's going to discover their music.  But no one was expecting it to actually be this successful.  It was kind of a joke that got out of hand, really.

 

The Re:verse thing was more about trying to combine their kpop business with their incredibly popular mobile game Uma Musume: Pretty Derby to see if that would work.

 

No bc they’re getting high views in Korea a

Call her God doesn’t change the fact that she’s always been the BACK member of TWICE with a dating scandal and fan hating history, now she’s outselling Nayeon and BP members (from 2021) with a song nowhere to be found on the chart.

 

If you are a real ONCE you should know TWICE’s Korean title/solo NEVER served NOT IN on MelOn for ONCE. Here we have Park Jihyo pulling 200k sales from nowhere in an hour when the song is N/A from every possible chart. Don’t deluded yourself into thinking international fans (if they exist outside of Twitter) bought these - Hanteo first day sales are basically Korean/Chinese oriented. 1M YouTube views in 3 hours, 30k Chinese pre-orders, 1613 likes on MelOn withOUT charting, doesn’t translate into 2nd best selling solo of all time. Like, all sales are fraudulent now, I  literally stan TWICE but I’ll never understand what’s the point of faking sales for the MOST unpopular member who caused TWICE rapid decline.

 

The blaming Jihyo for TWICE's downfall in Korea aside, 200k really isn't all that much? in 2023  Not to mention she's doing well on Youtube - 800K likes, which says a lot more than 24 hour views which are heavily influenced by ad views. 

[Adama]

We cannot compare Jihyo album sales to Misamo. Japanese albums doesn't have official suppliers outside Japan. 
 

Also 300k seems normal in today climate? If she would have pull Jisoo numbers it would indeed have looked suspicious but it’s not the case.

Poor Chanelle. Seeing her on R U Next going from lively and confident to depressed has been really tough. I hope this show doesn't break her spirit.

I would say Momo’s singing and dating history did way more damage than anything Jihyo has ever done in Korea  I think it hurt Kang Daniel more at that time lol. 

 

I think Jihyo has a lot of fans in the west and even if she isn’t the number one bias of many people, Twice is still a huge girl group  and Jihyo is quite high on a lot of peoples  lists  IDK where this narrative is coming from..

It also really tank momo's korean fanbase  you can clearly see it in the showcase, mina & sana have their videos and pics out first. 

 

i remember jihyo's fans are just happy he is not old  

 

jihyo also promoted her album during twice concert. She also had many collectibles in her album.

It’s the same situation as Jay. But her not being happy despite getting the main vocal position was a choice

Lily does so many rogue things kpop idols would never do  it’s kinda refreshing (someone was saying the same about Somi a few pages back).

I mean the hags has still a huge fanbase around, their last recent CB was only like a year ago and was mega successful. Turn on the tv and you'll also see them in every korean televisions like It's not their fault if they are hurting anyone's feelings for that matter

The sheer IDIOCY of this post is making me not even wanna take it seriously. I’ve already explained the answer in my reply to one of the other hater’s posts in here. Feel free to search for it and keep living in your bubble of hatred.
