The way purkiss is getting budget that mamamoo didn't get. RBW WHEN I CATCH YOU!

It's smart in the sense that mamamoo can generate money with small investment and the part of the profits will go into the gg that will contribute to the future of the company, smart in paper but sadly not in reality the pre order numbers for pk are terrible, they havent been able to explode regardless of the support and push by RBW 

 

That company is being kept by oneus and mamamoo

Any logical person can see SM's downfall started when they began to invest 90% of their resources into NCT with bare minimal returns. Abysmal Spotify streams, abysmal digital sales, and despite having 100 members, they still aren't even close to being the bg with highest album sales per album. They only sell a lot by spamming releases. 

 

The only people who can't see NCT started SM's ruin is NCT stans :rip: 

This is such a poor argument. :rip:

 

In 2020 and 2021, NCT were selling basically on par with Seventeen per album (not overall, where they were actually #1) and were only being outsold by BTS making them either #2 or #3 on overall boy groups at the time. As a brand NCT has been #1 for 3 consecutive years. You say all this as if Red Velvet haven't always been #3 or below in album sales rankings every year of their career (being eclipsed by GFRIEND, TWICE, BLACKPINK etc) by a considerable margin, yet none of y'all are considering Red Velvet a reason for SM's downfall (inb4 someone mentions digital hits and Irene CFs :priceless:).

 

If NCT is such a mistake, then why is SM STILL investing the most into NCT than any other brand in the company despite having leadership changes? :rip: Obviously NCT is making bank, but the SM girl group stans refuse to admit it. :deadbanana2:

And the mv is finally out 

 

 

oh this is actually better than CASE 143

and the MV slightly reminded me of BTS Film out 

 

 

so BABYMONSTER has a mini-Bom, a mini-CL/Lisa...

 

YG truly has not had an original idea since 2009

SM girlgroup stans might be the most miserable group of people on earth like its such a sight to behold.

 

The AUDACITY to say that NCT bring nothing to SM while you stan rv/aespa....... Delulu really is just the perfect name for ur ilk.

Anyways rv will NEVER have the peaks of twice, NEVER have the relevance of BP, NEVER have the generation defining music of GFRIEND or the talent of Mamamoo, your favs tour THEATHERS, pipe down. Don't speak or be in the business of NCT when your own favs(aespa) might be shelved indefinitely cause their exsitence relied on SM while NCT had their own thing going. 

 

You SM gg stans are an insufferable bunch and maybe if you minded your business you wouldnt have karma biting ya ass every day with shite music and even shittier management.

You even mentioning Gfriend here makes no sense in 2023 like at all. Second of all, out of their peers they were behind only BP for overall sales in 2022 eclipsing Twice and 3rd out of all girl groups besting 4th gen groups. And besides that no one else has gotten global hits in that company besides RV. We all know NCT has a huge fandom that is profitable like every other boy group but their streaming numbers are so abysmal domestically and internationally. The discrepancy between their physical numbers and streaming is a joke.

 

RV could never be SM's downfall when they can actually serve results physically and digitally (both domestically and internationally with the right song) with their comebacks. Like they are 9 years old and the ball is still rolling.

i'm saying! 

35M USD with 14 dates btw. :cm: But yeah a certain group is doing better that’s why SM doesn’t want them to hold a world tour. Can’t even hold one in a Korean theater :giraffe:

NCT will never be bigger than peak BTS, never have the talent of Seventeen, will never have a solo career like baekhyun and will never release a SOTY like EXO Growl
