IVE has 3 singles, NJ has 5 singles let's be real. Nobody gave a **** about bsides in Kpop

It’s not like releasing singles means guaranteed hits. Even blackpink sorta underperformed with multiple singles

Tinnitus did that 

 

Circle reveal next.

 

@Pluto2022  Looks like your prediction was right so far with Temptation sold similar with Maxident. I believe the presales of Maxident and Temptation are very close like the gap is less than 100k or something.

Starship! Takes NOTE

What do you guys mean that NJ has no b-side? Hurt got an mv, but it was not promoted as an official single.

IVE is almost a year older than NewJeans, but has same amount songs and less hits (3 vs 4, and Eleven is not in the same league as the other hits). Besides in the long run, Ditto is gonna outlast AL. 

Even if they outlast AL,That wasn’t my observation. My point was that Ditto in his peak still hasn’t pull bigger numbers than AL in circle points or with their ULS. Which I found interesting.

Nobody cares about digital hits with boy groups anymore, this is more proof how out of touch EXO-Ls are (stuck in 2017 etc).  I mean, we're 5 years-ish into the 4th gen and we only got the first 4th generation boy group hit last week with Sugar Rush Ride.

 

Reality is that NCT 127's last album sold 2 million copies, while EXO's sold 1.3m (and that was largely only due to the desperate addition of green screen'd Lay). EXO went from selling 1.5m to 800k in less than 12 months.

Nobody cares about Spotify streams in 2023?? 
 

And it’s the same trajectory for NCT127 right now! From selling 2,4 millions to 1,9 million. THEY ARE INDEED LOOSING SALES  cb after cb. So why are you acting brave?

The BTS army extensions were a blessing and a curse

 

They had a few more years together and  were able to cement themselves globally but now it’s gonna be forever until they’re out of the army when all their peers are almost finished their service 

 

Its a wonder trainees don’t enlist at 18 and be debut ready at 20

if it has an MV and performances then that does make it an official single 

[Chemist]

The Korean GP is impressed by everything about NewJeans

right, i’m curious as to why companies don’t do this since that would be much better than enlisting years later

BTS was supposed to enlist during the covid/ lock down in 2020 right? Which was on paper the perfect time to enlist. But then Kpop exploded even more and Dynamite happened. But their hiatus is going to be shorter than most bg bc it took Exo 4 years to be back at full (and only for this year bf Kai and Sehun enlistments). 
 

I wonder too! But knowing how crazy Kpop fans are with their maknae, and debuting at 20 is considered old in the Kpop world.

they want to exploit their youth as much as possible

most idols are less relevant in their late 20s so it worked out most of the time

SM biggest failure DID THAT

Still which means you will have more hits. So far hurt is only NJ’s bside and it didn’t do well. It’s not that hard to get. NJ will always have more hits  as long they keep having multiply singles. 
expect for Stay BP’s singles went top 10.

Idk how it gonna outlast if AL as much  digital points as Ditto despite not them breaking the PAK record.

Devil by the window SHOULD be a single and have a video! 

I like Kai.
