I mean, you can say BLACKPINK's album sales are fake too but with their massive popularity, humongous streams and tour gross etc - you can say there's atleast some truth to their album sales :foxaylove:

 

Red Velvet's and NCT's streams are :rip: their mv views are fueled by ads then the views suddenly stops :rip: they're a non event outside of korea and I think the members aren't really known individually like the crackstink members. their touring stats are a mess (nshitty kinda okay in this department though)

 

you can :ahh: all you want but blackpink is NOT like those sm acts and you know it :rip: 

 

edit: i'm sorry to my faves adspa and nshitty I had to sacrifice yall to prove my point :weeps:

Maybe you should take your own advice and stop with all the bs about the sheep bullying you when it's not true 

It’s not bs when I lived it on ktrl but nice try I guess. And it was over something very minor about some group and it was a whole fiasco. You can choose to believe it or not I don’t care. I don’t have the energy to dig up old posts like y’all do. :heart:

I don't think that the Kpop sales are fake, but it's more about the amount of dedicated fans bulk-buying the albums 

I wonder if anyone will surpass BTS’s sales from one album anytime soon, or is the market going to move away from bulk buying before that

Isn't Kai and YooN/A more popular than Baekhyun and Taeyeon? 

Nah Kai have ofc more virals moments but Baekhyun is more popular (especially in SK) and have a bigger fanbase. Kai is def bigger in the US, which is understandable! 
 

Yoona is not more popular than Taeyeon lol!

People used to make fun of Kai inability to sing when he announced he’s going solo and he ended up with the best music of EXO and has the most streamed song (100M) between them on Spotify as a solo without features.

 

Kai can outsing a lot of these new idols :dies:
 

Also he got the most viewed solo on yt right? And SM didn’t buy ads for Mmmh! 
 

He manage his solo career very well.

Red Velvet - irene & yeri none yet or does the sm stations count so all their solos are complete now too? If not, 3 out of 5 solos

I mean all members have released solo material in one way or another, but only Wendy, Seulgi and Joy have had official debuts. Plus Irene had a unit debut with Seulgi as well.

 

All of them have participated in OSTs, Station songs and other solo releases though.

Some users take this site too seriously, imagine being a hater of someone in a forum

It's laughable to be honest. Some people hurling personal insults and making such a spectacle of themselves over K-Pop forum members.

Kpop album sales are inflated across the board, this is just facts and applies to everyone not just one company :rip:

Yeah I think sales are inflated in general. Though inflated doesn't necessarily mean fake.

 

The ones verified through official channels are obviously not fake, even if it's coming from bulkbuying. At this point nearly all of the K-Pop industry is supported by some element of bulkbuying, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a side-effect of Korea's export culture.

Every member of BP is average at best in any talent they have (though Jennie has still managed to become the standout, as she should!), so there’s nothing to debate about with them :cold2:

outsinging 4th gen idols is not hard to be honest :rip: but I will always say he has one of my favourite tones in EXO matter of fact I’m always asking for a KaiSoo subunit.

 

 

Kai knows music and his favourite type of music reflects in his music which also is the genre non stans also enjoy, everything fell in line correctly for his solo career.

I would love for the Seulgi, Jeno, Karina, Kai co-ed unit to do a special single album and promotion together.

 

They fit really well and cover all areas, vocals, visuals, dance, performance and stage presence :clap3:

The songs who showcased his vocal the best are Amnesia and Vanilla! Can’t wait for his album, he said that it was his favorite of all the 3 he did :duca:.

 

I need a Kyungsoo album after Exo cb. I also need promotions this time and more importantly, WE WANT RNB tracks

Say it louder please! D.O has my favorite voice in EXO.

 

But his solo album wasn't really giving for me, not him personally but just the songs SM gave him, though the title track was okay. I wanted more of the vibe he showed in Tell Me (What Is Love), he would slay an album like that.

Kyungsoo said his album album after the EXO cb, I think EXOs comeback is going to be in June/July again, Kai hinted on an insta live today that there isn’t much time left for him :(

I think Birthday just didn't connect with the public for whatever reason, but they already had a smash that year so they could afford to be more experimental with this one I guess.

I revisited birthday yesterday for the first time since it was released and... It's an okay song. But I still stand by my opinion that they should've never released it, especially not as a title track. Like... Who even tunes into RV for a sound like that (especially in 2022)? Who asked for it? The lyrics and outfits also felt very How Do You Do Fellow Kids? Like... "Swag? Check"???? Grating as hell. Irene's 30 now. The whole thing felt like a massive step back in direction after psycho, queendom (giant woman concept) and FMR. You can be quirky AND still be mature! PAB is right there!! :rip:

 

Would've probably liked birthday much more if it were some aespa album track. At least with them, cringe is a part of their brand.
