We don't know the details of their contract, so 90% that the company took might include overhead costs as well :michael: And it's still a rumour, we don't know exactly the cut that artists got from album sales. 

 

But neither streams nor album sales are the main incomes of Kpop idols, they make the most money from brand endorsements and touring

Their first contract is most of the times an extension of their trainee contract. And honestly we know these companies are taking the most. 
 

That’s why a lot of female idols end up richer than males idols, thanks to cfs!

Sales:

  • TWICE are the best selling girl group of all time
  • They are also the only gg among the top 10 of best selling Kpop acts of all time. 

 

Streams: 

  • They are the 3rd most streamed Kpop act of all time and only BTS and BP are above them. 
  • They are the girl group with most MV's with over 100M views in history of Youtube

 

Digitals:

  • They have 9 consecutive number #1 singles in Korea and has the biggest peak for gg in Korea. 
  • They are the most streamed Kpop gg on MelOn

 

Billboard:

  • One of the few Kpop acts to chart on Hot 100
  • Peaking at #2 on Billboard 200, however they could've easily snatch a #1 album if JYP didn't make them release during the same week as that country singer. 

 

Touring:

  • I don't think I even need to explain this, but they are selling out STADIUMS globally like pastry, which is something only BTS and BP can do. 

 

Like how are they not successful in every metric???? :hoetenks:

Speaking of Twice, people talk about their decline in SK but since the last 2 years their Spotify stats are not good either :coffee2:

Do you guys think we're getting another TWICE solo debut under JYP or Nayeon will get a comeback before the next debut?? Bc idk which member would be, Tzuyu doesn't have much talent or stage presence but she has the popularity so it would be an opportunity for her to glow up. I guess Chaeyoung could also release something since she's into songwriting and producing but maybe it could be a mixtape? Not sure if I see her having a full debut promo like Nayeon and Jihyo did.

My bet is on Chaeyoung and Dahyun since they’re the most musically inclined in the group so they can write and produce a chunk of the material I’m sure. 

 

i would have bet on Sana getting a solo if MISAMO hadn’t happened.


Tzuyu is not cutout to be a soloist lol, she lacks the confidence despite being breathtakingly beautiful. She’ll keep doing cfs and modeling and make bank from them. 
 

Now there is Jeongyeon who was undoubtedly one of the front runners for a solo career a few years ago, but her injury in 2020 changed everything. Sis is finally back to her old confidence level on stage and on camera and can obviously hold her own vocally and personality wise, but idk if she wants to put herself through that scrutiny especially after gaining weight and knowing how brutal the kpop audience really is when it comes to that shite

Yunjin’s solo Spotify page alone has more monthly listeners than pretty much every 4th gen group that isn’t top tier. And Yunjin hasn’t even had an official debut.

 

a selection:

 

Huh Yunjin: 1.6m 

Kep1er: 1.5m

The Boyz: 1.4m

Zerobaseone: 1.4m

Boynextdoor: 1.2m

Billlie: 800k

She also has more than some officially debuted 3rd gen soloists such as Wendy, Seulgi, and Joy, also BoA

And Yunjin wrote all those songs so she’s getting her cut in royalties. Sis is already securing those coins from music while most other girlies from her gen might struggle despite their groups selling millions

Speaking of Yunjin and Monthly listeners:

 

(H)yunjin with an "H" has the record for most monthly listeners among 4th gen solo Spotify pages :clap3:

He has actually surpassed over 3.2M monthly listeners today which is a new peak :clap3:

Uhm, the last two years, they’ve had:

 

The Feels (literally one of their biggest with 363M so far)

Formula of Love album

Celebrate (Japanese album)

Between 1&2 (TTT alone literally has 200M)

Ready To Be (Moonlight Sunrise is over 100M)

 

How is this not good? And please don’t compare with Blackpink because it won’t be fair to anyone.

Sis can compose a song and can deliver a sweet and smooth piano ballad, so yes

tea. groups dont have to be in your face 24/7 for them to be "successful" or have their impact minimized just because you compare them to someone else. also ttt and the feels smoke anything bp has released quality wise the past year or two

We’re talking about the success of future CEO of HYBE Huh Yunjin, no one asked you to butt Hyunjin into it just because Hyunjin is Yunjin with an H

Peak Playlist reach average:

 

Super Shy: 133M (peaked above 130M for entire month of August and is STILL above 100M) Currently at 102M

I AM: 36M (stayed above 30M for a month then averaged out 16M) Currently at 15M

Queencard: 23M (stayed above 20M for most of June then averaged out around 19M) Currently at 16M

Unforgiven: 36M (only for one day but stayed around 25M for entire month of May) Currently at 14M

Spicy: 26M (for 1 day before immediately dropping down to 17M and only going down from there. Has spent majority of its run below 15M) Currently at 14M

 

 

Like, yall need to stop using streaming stats as "Drags" when your faves are pushed harder. SM is notoriously HORRIBLE at pushing their acts on streaming (outside of useless ads on Youtube). 

 

The only way comparing streaming would be an actual accurate comparison is removing playlisting altogether. 

not the essay this is a kpop thread
