can’t believe one hour I need to take Blackpink’s side and another NewJeans’ side  it’s so hard to be objective in this thread, just give the credit when it’s due and support multiple groups

 

successful groups can co-exist, you know? doesn’t mean the posts mentioning one, another or even both are drags  maybe the problem is with people who see it this way

 

NewJeans isn’t taking Blackpink’s place nor are they bigger than them, are you serious?  I swear you see their name and your blood boils right away

its giving threatened lol we all know BP is still the biggest gg 

Stray Cats stable kings and almost occupying the whole top 10 with some songs being over 2 years old They will soon probably have the top 10 alone once those other boy groups start free falling once their ad campaigns and comeback hype dies down  

We stan Spotify and YouTube legends

Oh wow, what other k-pop-group could have one of their least popular members sell out an arena tour in North America by themselves?

By Blinks' logic, BTS members seem to be having successful SOLO careers then

That’s literally nearly 60K attendance for the New York market. The fact that SUGA alone could easily book and sell out Yankee Stadium or Citi Field himself 

Isn’t Suga the most popular member after the maknae line though? He kinda has the biggest solo song ”Daecwhita” if we exclude the collabs and World Cup songs etc. 

 

Isn’t the popularity ranking like this?: 

 

1. V

2. Jungkook

3. Jimin

4. Suga

5. Jin

6. RM

7. J-Hope

Imagine when one of the more popular members like Taehyung or Jungkook go on tour 

You hate BTS or not but the fandom power is insane. Even the “least successful” members can sell more than +500k albums. And Suga alone sold more tickets in the US than any k-artists expect for BTS, BP and twice.

Least popular in what metric cuz he ates them all on the solo department and not to mention he is the only one who produces his music and his group actively

He's definitely not one of the least popular members

No skin in the game but kinda hilarious to spin having a minor role in a guaranteed critical flop as a positive.  TSwift in Cats teas

She dodged a bullet and is still going to get the massive exposure of being on a major network show. On top of that, she’s going to look like Meryl Streep no matter what her performance looks like because The Weeknd is just that bad. The Blinks are right, this time.

As if SM don't sabotage their own artists with their song choices  be serious

 

 

 

 

I saw this YouTube girl Liry Onni (in Spanish) she's korean/argentian so she explains what the news say about this case, is LSM vs his nephew, LSM wants to HYBE to get his shares cuz his Nephew pulled more shares so LSM gets less share of SME, but new CEO whants KAKAO to get be the the senior partner and LSM was angry about that and that's why he sold his shares to HYBE.

Anyway Korean competency department needs to make a decision about HYBE buy 

LSM self assigns his company to work with SME so he even if he isn't the CEO anymore still get most royalties or utilities, SME stills sells more albums than HYBE bit the utility that stays in SM is so little, Kakao will apparently do exactly the same if they get the company

 

So yeah I stand with LSM

She’ll be fine because she doesn’t need an acting career, but this show is destined to be a high profile flop and the butt of every joke. This is gonna be her Cats/Battleship/Shanghai Surprise that Stans pretend not to exist.

Yea, Yoongi is kinda in the middle in terms of popularity but I feel like all of the members would do really well in terms of touring, tbh. There are solo stans just like in any other fandom and it shows sometimes but most armys actually support all 7 of them.

 

This also makes me really sad they didn't do one last tour as 7 last year, I mean look at the demand 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not Kep1er adding themselves to the IVE vs aespa vs LE SSERAFIM April 2023 war

It's an age old tactic in K-Pop. This manufactured battle increases fandom engagement and media coverage. We saw it in the August super summer last year.

 

Each fandom will be pushing for their faves to come out on top = more money for these companies.
