 Exo has indeed hits unlike SVT but let’s not act exols weren’t like armys. 
 

and yet Growl will still outlive svt's entire discography. Enjoy your UL conspiracy theories though. :matty:

Also zombie streaming or not there is no excuse to EXO being in hiatus since 2019 and none of these “new 4th gen it bgs” or SVT and NCT their “peers” not passing them or even getting half of that streams EXO has, a lot of you have a hate boner towards them but be honest with yourselves for once.

Haven't been a stan since 2015 but this is 100% true. SM has been in shambles internally since like 2018 with bad leadership decisions and we're just starting to see the worst effects of it. It's going to keep getting worse until the shareholders decide to do something. SHINee has had more of a push from 2018-current than EXO, which while I love that for them, EXO was trading blows with BTS and Bigbang at their peak and SHINee wasn't. SME still have 1st pick of most idols and access to the best creatives in the global entertainment industry so the output is good but it's not looking good for them. :rip: It really has nothing to do with demand, almost every act at SM is in crisis 24/7.

 

  • EXO has been completely abandoned in favor of Baekhyun(a repeat of a catastrophic mistake they made just a few years back with SNSD). He will 100% remain as active as the rest of his group combined after his return. 
  • BoA is still getting 1st pick of songs from their camps and is even now using actually viable idols to prop her dying career up(the way not even this worked for her for more than one song :dies:).
  • NCT has been such a focus for the company that even their members have complained about the pressure being put on them by the company. Even being the obvious top priority of SME, even they're facing constant delays and cancellations of their plans with Shotaro being one of the fiercest male idols of his generation just floating in limbo for literal years(Henry 2.0).
  • RV had back to back global hits with BB and Psycho and next to no promotions outside of Korea. They could have spiked in sales years sooner with the tiniest bit of support and a real world tour.
  • Every other Taeyeon comeback being a miserable attempt to hop on a radio trend despite it flopping/underperforming literally almost every single time. Her getting minimal support in Japan despite SNSD being a million seller just a few years before her solo debut.
  • SNSD being sabotaged at every turn as a group since 2014.(The biggest girl group of all time didn't have a lightstick until after their permanent hiatus :dies:)
  • Literally everything about aespa except for the girls and the songs they've given being botched beyond repair. How are you going to go from the biggest female debut since the days of Twice and Blackpink even in spite of the corniest branding of all time then just release one mini in a WHOLE calendar year and pin it to the thing that nobody likes about them? :bibliahh:

Imagine this as aespa's title track

 

It's perfect for the "killing Black Mamba" act tbh :deadbanana: A wasted hit

 

Stiff wrote the song, not just the lyrics. It wasn't going to any other group. Another potential smash from Hitfany I fear :gaygacat3:

yup, this is why you cant listen to fans ideas seriously. they always want the worst b-sides as title tracks when you'd know they'd flop into oblivion

 

 

excluding love foolish by Twice which should have been a double a-side :giraffe:

I mean Melomance had one of the biggest hits of last year and are generally pretty popular so.

right… they are gunna whine about it for a minute, then get over it and get right back to mass streaming & mass buying. i can’t even be mad because army’s are securing the bag for groups i actually like. eventually those groups will get big enough where HYBE doesn’t even need BTS & i’m willing to bet army’s will STILL be filling HYBE’s pockets. new jeans is literally already on track to replace them & all their groups are seeing constant steady growth across the board.

Yep, once they blew up, I already expected comments like: "They truly spend BTS money to promote this new GG" Like I'm so sick of this template. Watch some blinks use this template too when Baemon start dominating.

Armys need a slice of humble pie tbh while BTS created HYBE BTS will not survive without them as well lol no Korean label would be able to carry the BTS brand except HYBE.

 

and if the fans revolt what? Theyre gonna stop supporting their oppars? Whom they dearly love? To teach the corporate overlords not to mess with them?

Was the tea with SVT, aren't they big domestically? It seems like they have huge streams on Korean platforms, and wasn't "don't wanna cry" a big hit in Korea or something? @Witnessed ET

 

They obviously have a big fanbase, and their hits might not be as big as the biggest hits of their 3rd gen counterparts like EXO, BTS or Love Scenario, but they still have moderately performing songs on the k-charts. 
and Don’t Wanna Cry was more global,  hence the numbers, but it still did pretty well in Korea.

Right. Like wtf

So what if they don’t have mega smashes in Korea, they still have multiple top 10s and more top 20s and 30s. That’s how you know they’re consistent and have been for years now, so how are their Melon streams not believable?
There’s literally no use of dragging them to validate EXO’s hits. And I’m saying this as someone who ADORES EXO.
