The main problem started with Not Shy and Mafia

Dalla Dalla was a huge hit and spent 7 weeks inside Melon's top 10, and despite a strong debut on the real-time chart, Icy couldn't reach the top 10 of the daily chart and wasn't liked. It killed their huge momentum.

Korea loves a good ballad so Mariah and Whitney being big is not surprising at all. 
 

 

BTW 5th gen didn't have any hit yet? I was just thinking about it and I couldn't think of even one big hit. How? 

Magnetic is the biggest hit from a 5th gen both globally and in SK.

Then in SK, so far we have Plot Twist from TWS,Sticky from KISS of Life, If I say I love you from BND and Get a guitar from Riize.

Oh that's not… Well at least they are "tall" and have the "4th gen it boy", which HYBE loves to point out

Txt has been lowkey underperforming the last few years.. no semi relevant songs, hell even the members don't go viral as much

 

i wonder if the new bighit bg will put them on hybes back burner

Well, to be fair ticket prices this time haven't helped them like, who is gonna buy this?

 

I hope this is a reality check for HYBE and they start lowering the prices because this is genuinely insane.

I feel like they were still doing fairly well until Untouchable happened. Untouchable-Gold-Girls Will Be Girls back to back tragic titles 

TWICE and BP still being this big a decade later  are they the trinity together with GG?

magnetic is right there 

 

 

 

or even bigger golden, your idol, how its done, soda pop

those arent "5th gen idols" skkdjdd they're literally just the black label producers and solo artists not a real group

 

lets credit the song's massive success to audrey nuna, rei ami and ejae rather than that fake cartoon girl group

 why Melon chart is so static. I swear this song is no longer in Top 20 for Youtube Music chart which is the most used streaming service currently in South Korea. Now this is Hybe Payola. #investigateMelon #investigateHybe

ICY was hated at release???? 

ICY > Wannabe

It's time to address the elephant in the room. TXT has been flopping for like two years now ateez outdoing them with no privilege and enhypen is now bigger despite the lack of promo

It's time for K-pop stans to accept Enhypen is already bigger than them

apparently one of the hybe employees arrested was the source music's creative director that hybe stans defended against min heejin 

 

that shaman truly worked wonders

 

 

 

 

Oh my GOSH at the decline! They have ads everywhere too ! What happened!

this song is yuge in Korea, easily the biggest BG song of the year

TXT have strayed too far from god I fear

 

 

She may like some witch hunt but she also loves herself a good gossip.

I don't think anyone thinks otherwise sans Moas or people brainwashed by BH payola.

Bestie are you streaming [PLANET K/1회] 연습생 '그리드' ♬No Doubt - 엔하이픈(ENHYPEN) @계급 결정전 | Mnet 250717 방송?  

That ad should be for ENGODPEN and not TXT, see how the talented and beautiful people have TASTE and they choose ENGODPEN songs instead of TXT ones!

 

It is rumored that MSnake chooses the songs for the participants, but I find it curious they decided to give two of its favorite trainees (Sangwon and the C-Center Anxin), an ENHYPEN song to cover

I don't think so. TXT will always be the favorite child of HYBE and be the #1 priority. HYBE has literally done everything in their power to make TXT happen, and Yeonjun is basically the golden child and is considered the Messiah of HYBE by Bang PD. Not even the BTS members have this much favoritism.

Their ticket prices seem pretty standard for a popular K-pop group. Plus, they're performing in arenas and even some almost theater-sized venues, so selling out shouldn't be too difficult.

ATEEZ are also facing some challenges with ticket sales, but they're performing in larger venues and still manage to sell more tickets by comparison.

ATEEZ's company, KQ Entertainment, has literally been tied with Sony Music globally since their debut, giving them more international advantages than most K-pop groups  The whole 'rags to riches' narrative their fans keep pushing is simply not true

Forget ENHYPEN, at this point, ATEEZ might even surpass them in the future as well 

 

To think TXT used to be neck and neck with SKZ from 2019-2023, and seeing the difference in popularity today is surprising. Like you should've been here in early 2023 when TXT released Sugar Rush Ride and people in here used to token stan them to drag SKZ  I remember replying with "time will tell" and I was right as usual

I honestly thought HYBE didn't use ads this time because the views were so low, but then I noticed it only has around 300K likes right now, which is also pretty low.

Isn't this just the typical Ticketmaster Platinum Ticket aka dynamic pricing nonsense?

 

Everytime an artist's tickets go live, fans(?) screenshot ticket prices during peak demand times to prove how unreasonably expensive the tickets are, when they probably cost a fraction of that a couple of hours later.

Do those people really not know how dynamic pricing works or are they rage baiting to farm engagement?

Those prices in particular are not from dynamic pricing, those are the standard prices for the VIP packages that usually include send off and soundcheck.
