I knew you were coming sis, what about their pre releases?

 

Broken Melodies 25M (june 19)

Move 12M (JUNE 28)

 

And NCT DREAM is coming from a big hit like Candy.

 

 

BONA BONA will surpass Broken Melodies as well though. 
 

Keep in mind that I don’t stan neither TREASURE or NCT, but I have to be objective and fair

1 year ago Today Girls’ Generation’s “FOREVER1” reached the TOP5 of MelOn, Bugs & Genie. 🥳🎉 They became the first girl group in history to reach the TOP5 of MelOn in 3 different decades. 
 

Seeing SNSD sitting next to New Jeans, BlackPink, IVE, Itzy, G-IDLE, Twice, & WSG all during thier peaksForever 1 staying in the Top 10 for 3 months. Like who else is doing this in thier 15th year? Nobody

Meanwhile NCT DREAM album numbers in hanteo and circle are almost the same, not 60% gap to be found.

I hope you can be objective and look both groups numbers in Korean charts too.

Yeah I’m kinda feeling it

 

 

[Zuko]

2 soloists of the same kgroup charting 3 songs simultaneously in the top 10

and people thought bts on hiatus would mean the end of their domination

Do you think any k-pop groups will be performing?

I can see aespa there, it would be a fitting place to promote their English single

My poor boys. I like the song a lot, I hope the TT does better.

They might have to go through the usual SM debut process of being mid/flop on the charts for a year or two at least, before a true smash comes. But this isn't the title though, so we'll see.

SM has truly no shame 

 

The fact that they are only giving 1 photocard per album out of the 20 members is insane when other groups with way less members are giving 3 photocards per album. Like SM could’ve easily given at least 5 photocards per album, since there’s literally 20 members! 

I wouldn’t be surprised if they managed outsell everyone with this album and pulling around 7-8M preorders. 

 

They never give more than 1 PC, maybe another special one If we are lucky but that's It. That's why some of them are so f%cking expensive.

But I think it's the same for all the SM artist. 

 

Honestly I don't think they sell more than 2 millions, NCT brand peak in 2020 and SM fumble the bag with NCT and NCT 127.

Only DREAM keeps getting bigger.

Also, there are the collection version with 20 different versions (1 for member)  And I think this is random, you cant select the one you want.

AKMU is such a... non-YG act. They're like a black sheep but in a good unique way. It's surprising they've been going for 9 years already, that also means they already renewed with YG

Why? YGE was always known to be the big 3 label who let their artists (males ones lbh) have all the creative freedoms they want. Big bang and Epik high were there. 

Plus the well know soloist Gummy and Lee Hi with their popular ballads.

Fifty fifty could have been there but honestly I don’t see any Kpop acts performing this year or maybe Hybe will try to push one of their bg for a slot? 
 

Stray kids are rumored to performs at the pre show

Hopefully the Kwangya superstars will attend for exposure. The meltdown on Stan twitter especially if they win will be iconic

The Girls' Generation of 3rd Gen. Love some classical pieces turn Kpop

No Ado :(

Although that makes sense since Ado doesn't show her face but I was sure they'd add an avatar or something

It feels like RIIZE have debuted already. Having two releases and a live performance before debut is weird to me.

[levi_valvi]

Kinda forgot V isn’t done releasing yet. My

hype has died, I hear 

[Odette Violet]

 

 

stomp stomp. This could easily be a concept for Villain, ugh the repack we wish we had 

 

 

 

[naomi24]

I'm excited for Hyo, Key and XG

 

But I really need an RV comeback where tf are they 

[Lost In Paradise]

Golden Age feels like a goodbye single - or farewell to 127 and WayV?

 

if it is, I hope NCT Dream lives on for now

 

RIIZE and NCT Dream can coexist, I don't think NCT 127 and RIIZE and coexist

[Pluto6]

I wonder why SM aren’t sending aespa to these KCON events etc.?  I feel like aespa are too exclusive compared to other groups, which isn’t really a good thing tbh, and the girls barely attend any awards shows either?

it's crazy how, despite BB changing the rules 6857 times, bts and even the members on their own keep charting on hot100

making it look so easy

no other group has all its members charting even once, let alone multiple times
