I'm sorry but it's not realistic. It's so obvious HYBE is paying streams

Hybe is payola-ing with playlists, advertising etc but ultimately people are streaming the song.

Anecdotally I had two normie non-Kpop friends send it to me asking if I've heard it as their designated K-pop friend. This was before I even knew of Illit's existence too

I fear HYBE are just our Kpop overlords now

It is viral on TikTok. K-pop stans are contributing to their success with non-stop viral hate tweets. 

 

It is shaping up to be new Cupid

Hybe payola must be stopped.

Yeah… something is just starting to seem really inorganic about it  

 

That TWS song skyrocketing out of nowhere. This ILLIT song immediately flying into Spotify Global Top 50  

 

Its in a companies best interest to promote their acts but I'm really starting to feel the entire company is getting Sabrina Carpenter Nonsense'd everywhere.

HYBE is so shameless with the payola 

 

this is newjeans levels streams

 

 

[jeanie]

people saying payola every time it's not their fave achieving success you're all hopeless

[jeanie]

if they're giving payola to tws and illit hope they did with bnd coz the way they're low-key being forgotten

[Sailor Moon]

It's kinda funny how the song managed to peak only at #45 on MelOn but sky rocketed on Spotify like that

 

They barely even started promoting it

[Sailor Moon]

A rigged lineup and paid streams ..

 

[newaespa]

a lot people thought that song is by newjeans hence they streamed it

basically newjeans gave ILLICT a career

[OrgVisual]

So is Melon or Spotify the benchmark for success now? I'm confused

[Sad Beautiful Tragic]

 

 

Good for I'll Pray I guess

 

[Antunes]

I'LLSMASH

[katyberry]

When the song charts on billboard becoming the first debut song and illit the fastest group to ever achieve that 

[illia]

If you are a HYBE group that smashes, they jinja accuse you of payola

Another summer dominated by girl groups poor boy group stans
