[Insert Dancing Queen time machine rolling back the dates sequence]

 

Now, it's June 8th 2009!

 

The legendary 9 member Nation's Girl Group Girls' Generation is preparing their next comeback, probably not knowing just how iconic it will become.

They give their all, in the practice room with only the clouds and blue sky behind them.

 

"Turn it up, just turn it up" 

 

 

I still don't get the reason why the cut the bridge with Jessica and Taeyeon adlibs. It would have been even a bigger slay.

The song is still a 11/10. 

 

Everything about that come back is a top tier. 

 

 

The fact that there is even a League of Legends skin for one of their champions inspired by Genie is crazy.

Exactly. Both units sells millions of albums and can sell out an arena. Dream just has the edge single wise and total album sells wise.

and most of the members are luxury brand ambassadors too so they're doing just fine

RIIZ6 biggest money maker, they sold 1M off 2 songs on debut, NCT could never until 4 years after debut + they are 22 members, RIIZ6 it's always been just 6 + Digital hits.

nct is not 22 members lol

 

nct dream just sold 4m this year and its just 7 members

 

riize is doing great I agree

Hyo's dance break and we are not complaining

[Odette Violet]

aespa has streams, album sales, biggest hits, IT girls, each girls are brand ambassadors, CFs and they are about to embark their sold out 2nd World Tour. 

 

 

They keeping the lights on. You mean to tell me a random NCT unit is bigger/more relevant financially than them  

[Joseline]

lmao

 

 

[Odette Violet]

 

 

 still the most watched performance in Korean television herstory with over 3M viewers 

 

 

Everyone and their great great grandmas were turning in for the one and only Nation's Girl Group

Is still there at 2:34 is just that in the dance practice she is doing the same moves as the others. 

I think the only change in that part is Jessica's and Tiffany's positions.

the fact this mv teaser was uploaded nearly an hour ago and nobody moved 

can't believe they're wasting Midas Touch's hype like this

 

maybe the comeback not making any noise is for the best because kpop stans will assume midas touch is still their latest release so the hype for the will remain

baby nct dream literally just sold out 2 nights stadium in bangkok few days ago. always sold out stadiums in japan and their tours always sell really well worldwide

 

they have the most album sales in the sm building (17m?) and before anyone tries it its just 7 members. nct 127 is a different conversation

 

obviously aespa is the biggest artist in sm right now but nct dream is not that far behind

[Odette Violet]

Next Level to Arma and we were forced to believe that they are streaming poison while some of their peers can no longer enter Spotify global without insane amount of playlistings, autoplay and casual listeners

That wasn't meant to be a shade but if we're gonna factor all metrics then in no doubt, it's aespa  NCT has the album sales and touring I agree but aespa will be there soon

2010

 

 

National Hit after National Hit. They had Korea, Japan and Asia in chokehold 

 

 

 

 

Oh!  was in every LG/Samsung  TVs and smartphones back then.

 

 

Even Chocolate Love which was a Britney demo was such a slay for an ad

I say it again 2010 was the best year of Kpop. All other GGs were also scoring smashes. Bad Girl Good Girl being the #1 song in Melon of the Year

The money comes from those metrics tho 

Streams give them only cents, so DREAM is their main source of income atm.

On June 26, an official from Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin's agency INB100 shared, "Yesterday, the members and INB100 filed a complaint with the Seongdong Police Station in Seoul against SM Entertainment's CAO (chief A&R officer) Lee Sung Soo and co-CEO Tak Young Jun for fraud in violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment etc. of Specific Economic Crimes."

 

Earlier on June 10, representatives of EXO's Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin held a press conference claiming, "SM Entertainment disregarded the negotiated terms that were the premise of the agreement." Later that day, SM Entertainment released a lengthy statement refuting the allegations that were made at the press conference.
