Wow idk how much they reduced the US venues, but for the O2 it’s what Twice did (and almost what BP did by 1K sales) it’s insane ! We keep underestimating them (myself included)! 
IVE being the first 4th gen gg performing at the O2 is iconic and funny at the same time, especially after some users said that they were lacking in some metrics compared to their peers

Aespa actually did 02. But yeah the way IVE keeps winning, we need Tokyo dome next

It’s kinda interesting how SKZ are charting on Hot 100, while struggling to chart on Melon daily

I avoid to play videocalls, sis

I always have second embarrassement and can't handle any of them 

 

Was what she said long? If yes, I think he got only some parts

[Antisocialites]

not BABYMONSTER sampling Batter Up by St. Lunatics and Nelly... can't wait for the embarrassment of seeing yet another YG artist trying to act black.

Their career will be always iconic for me 

 

How they manage to get 44 million streams globally in a week to chart on Billboard Global 200 Top 10, but can't get mere 150k (?) Or less uls on Melon to get a Top 10 on Korea 

 

It always makes me think "wow, there's really a big world out there for them"

He understood nothing but maybe “her name is lady gaga”

Fan meet video calls are so cringe almost 100% of the time

The concept itself is cringe. Imagine paying for someone you don't even know and have nothing to talk about to talk to you

To be fair, Melon is one of the rare charts in the world that totally eliminates fandom's power to manipulate the chart

Welcome back @Mel.

That's why Lim Young-woong won Artist of the Year and Album of the Year on Melon Music Awards last edition

The Awards also factor in fan votes and judges' score + Digital sales (which is different from chart positions, like Spotify filtered vs unfiltered streams)

He was only behind BE'O in  'Artist of the Year' and the Top winner in 'Album of the Year' in predictions If you remove Votes and Judges, tho.

 

So I have doubts about your statement.

Welcome back sis @Mel.

You were very missed

Daily ULs (Unique Listeners):

 

LYW: 175M

IVE: 177M

GI: 121M

 

You can't blame that people are actually streaming LYW + he has more songs charting than the others 

 

LYW has a big fanbase, but he also has substantial GP support. There's a big difference between being around top 10 (LYW) vs N/A in top 100 (Stray Kidz)

 

LYW is #5 on Gallup 2022 (on par with NJs) which means the GP actually aware and knows who he is

 

Same can't be said about SKZ or any boygroups who can't manage to chart on Melon

I think it was probably his idea, he is convinced he wants to look sexy or whatever 

 

but I agree someone should have stopped that child, these fandoms are full of weirdos

 

 

 

he just doesnt have the vernacular or maturity to serve that type of hip action choreography yet. I hope he's not doing stuff he isn't comfortable with.

Without Melon's charting system, Lim Young Woong would be #1 to #10 on Melon charts right now (look at what's happening in Genie and Flo)

 

So yes, Melon's charting system is effectively eliminating or reducing fandom's power
