IVE were the #5 digital act of 2024 (with one comeback) and #5 for album sales for females. Which are carried primarily by their 2 year old songs. That doesn't really changed everything what I said Yall need to accept that they aren't performing like they used to No Kpop groups are immune to flopping and that's okay Edited January 18 by Odette Violet 1 1 1

NJ definitely didn't grow in success, but to act like they're flopping when they're still smashing is wild. It reminds me of everyone claiming Girls was a flop on ATRL…and then the era ended up being a smash. 28 minutes ago, TheCal said: i love these girls so much The way they're trying to make me stan a HYBE group.

Dialamba Posted January 18 Posted January 18 1 hour ago, Witnessed ET said: Yeah exactly like...why are some people (it's the same few users btw) acting like they can speak on IVE's "downfall" with illogical essays and hot takes noone asked for? Lmao they're fine. If the main title track doesn't do well like Baddie then there is maybe room to worry but Korea still loves them. Yeah their global spotify numbers performance is kinda directly related to the bombastic pop-perfection quality of their songs like Love Dive, After Like, I Am etc. but that only means they just need to bring that back. Rebel Heart isn't bad by any means, it just doesnt live up to the big pop moments of their former title tracks and that's it. Some of yall are doing way too much while writing them off. It's the same RV stans hiding behind aespa They tried with twice for years and it didn't work 1 hour ago, Eternium said: https://app.chartmetric.com/artist/9149614 https://app.chartmetric.com/artist/4080594 https://app.chartmetric.com/artist/9527296 NJ deserved TTH because they were organically popular from the start. They destroy LSF in every metric. Yet somehow LSF happens to be getting more playlisting than Aespa (despite doing worse). Let's not act like they aren't massive label pushes. NJ were promoted as MHJ's new girl group. BTS fans latched on when they became commercially successful. It's not NJ's fault that nobody latched onto LSF's troubled debut. MHJ is a marketing genius but NJ benefited the most from HYBE. LSRF would've done well without HYBE because they have Sakura & Chaewon organic please when attention was on TTH despite not charting on Spotify global 2
Ubermensch Posted January 18 Posted January 18 NewJeans and aespa are the top girl groups. Any other take is delusion. There's a distant 3rd place but we won't acknowledge ha until ha releases love dive type bops again. 1

SM was scared thier debut would be too big It was alleged some Chinese fans had it, but it never leaked. There is only one extremely short LQ snippet from outside the SM building of a song. I will be very surprised if the album ever leaks. All that hard work wasted, and it wasn't even J&K's fault. I also have a vague theory that Butterscotch was for their mini album. They randomly mentioned the word "Butterscotch" on their reality show in 2014 and their faces seemed like they were casually dropping a spoiler. Krystal's parts surfaced for a CF a couple years later, but mysteriously we only ever heard half of the song. It was never officially released. My suspicion is that they cut out the parts with Jessica's vocals. Edited January 18 by Zack 2

Xalric Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) So a nugu group is paid $68 per music show appearance, while a A LIST group be paid up to $342 per music show appearances. But the median of companies spending on hair, makeup, staging for 2 weeks promotions is $41K. No wonders big companies don't send their acts on music show or do only shorts promo cycle. And fun fact, back in the day when that one shopping center was doing Thursdays gig and invited all the nugus, they paid around $200 to $1000 (depending on the reputation and recognitions of the groups) for a set. I guess bring back the PARKING LOT TOUR. Edited January 19 by Xalric
