is it true that JYP releases various versions of albums with photocards exclusive for various stores? I saw a tweet about that regarding NMIXX some time ago, but didn’t bother to actually check it, is it what they usually do with their artists? 

BP had 18 versions of their albums from differents store, Twice has 17 differents versions with exclusives photocards and posters.

Not people coming for TWICE's streams when they are the 3rd biggest Kpop act on Youtube and Spotify of all time  They just broke their own debut record both in sales and streams as well  And people acting like Moonlight Sunrise doesn't exist when it's their biggest streaming song on Spotify 

I dont think anyone is coming for TWICE’s streams here because its small. Its big on its own esp in the realm of Kpop but in comparison to BP and BTS, aka the ones Onces are coming for all the time, its pathetically small and comparably local.

I feel like they're going to smash. I'm scared SM make them release something very NCT/kwangya and ruin everything. 

 

 

Please do not remind me, this is the first time EVER I’m already pessimistic about EXOs music everything from SM lately have been lazy and uninspired, EXO does not need that energy in their first come as a full lineup since 2018

where's enhypen

Kpop album sales are anything but organic and that applies to all acts. Don't mean they are fake tho.

 

Y'all know damn well that is just fans making lots of purchases. That is why most kpop albums dip down the charts after the 1st week. 

Exactly. Its not really a good bragging point when in the end, its the same demographic that increasingly buys multiple versions of the same album (guilty of this). 

Were people crazy for dragging Chaewon when she won and made it into I-ZONE?

 

i remember all the draggings and saying she was “useless midget” etc, way before the mess of favoritism and payola was exposed (which I think she still got enough votes and would have made it into the group anw)

 

Or was she not the SLAYFUL powerhouse she is today?

 

Cause damn, seeing her in LS, she is clearly the firecracker and ACE of the group

The companies are overdoing it by releasing so many different version of the same. And this is not even the worst Starship is really the one over overdoing it. When they released 6 albums of Monsta X with each had a different booklet of 260 pages.

BP would do 300k in the US with a $24 album btw 

 

Blinks were too busy buying $1000 concert tickets

The way this a flex but not at the same time, cause Blinks are literally getting robbed 

 

Get that money girlies

That is why it is interesting blackpink is struggling to surpass Twices debuts in USA. Blackpink is probably going to surpass Twice sales next comeback tbh.

maybe you have any breakdown for both albums? I’m just curious, I’m never going into those „6356162 versions” posts as I’m just choosing one version from the „main” ones, getting that and that’s it 

 

kpop companies have so many ways of inflating the numbers it’s crazy

she is the proof that sometimes rigging in kpop should be allowed

imagine if she didn't get into IZONE  she'd stay in Woolim and join Rocket Punch or some new nugu group and disband in 2 years due to the lack of money

but look at her now

Different photocards some have polaroid and signed stuffs too.

EXO was definitely the SM bg who had the most potential globally and could've been the male TWICE right now, had SM not been stubborn and bias against them. Them trying to push SuperM and NCT, when people wanted EXO instead, but SM simply didn't care and wouldn't want a successful global bg unless they were SuperM or NCT for some reason.  

I used to be bitter now I laugh, SM is a mess and they don’t have a top boy group with success across all criteria as much as EXO whose turning 11 in April

Well we'd have Chowon the less powerful ace of Lightsum.

YG goof’d with the BabyMonster girlies stage name

 

like starpower was IMMEDIATE from “jennie”, “Lisa”, and “Rosé” 

 

 

the **** is Chiquita bananas Hala and the other common folk names

Tbf BP and BTS are bigger than Kpop and even eating up most Western acts these days, but TWICE's numbers are also very impressive and is the 3rd biggest after those 2 mentioned

yesterday twice got dragged to hell and back and today they one-upped the pinks in US album sales nnnnn this 3rd gen fan feud will never end I fear

 

the blinks and ex-blinks that keep going after each other in the name of twice are getting reductive tho 

The fact that Blonks are slowly turning into BoTSARMY 2.0 means that they’ll never be secure in their faves’ position and they’ll keep going after Twice just like how they went for NewJeans before that. 
 

the way we saw so many of them foaming at the mouth yesterday over every little thing and now Twice is reported to have the highest kpop gg sales first week in the US 

 

also the countless posts about “music quality” while stanning BLACKPINK out of everyone else  BP is literally the definition of ‘great gowns beautiful gowns’ with the same rehashed demos every year, and the poor souls don’t even get enough material for THAT. The utter lack of self awareness is baffling 

He serves my favorite snoozes in kpop, love this king

Yeah anyone with a brain would be able to differentiate between “non-organic” and “fake”, they are two different things.

The way they were used to be the 2nd biggest bg after BTS, until they wen't on hiatus which resulted in SVT surpassing them and now being the 2nd biggest 3rd gen bg

Yasss. I feel like even a song like lucky one which kind of underperformed for their standards, it would have SMASHED if it was released this year.

Don’t tell me 

Ive been waiting patiently for them to come back on top for years now. And idk how much of it is possible, but the GP is very well aware of EXO and the kind of superstars they are, so all of them finally coming back from the military and being complete again gives me hope 

 

But the music has to be good though. None of that Kwangya bullshit, otherwise they’re doomed.
