Yes I know that. But you can see their decline. They had strong twitter fanbase. Now anyone just makes fun of them and hardly anyone fights back. Is it true they released 35 songs? I am too tired to search. They are trying to crack into 100 million spotify club.

They released an anthology album so it’s a lot of their older tracks in there plus three new tracks ( and a separate cd that only comes with the albums).

About fighting back , I would rather not have them fight back 😆 . I have a good portion of Kpop Twitter blocked for a reason ( which includes a lot of the so-called clapback armys). We will have to see .

South Korean music market isn’t that big. There are way too many bands. It will be stagnated without overseas market.

Come to think of it, outside BTS and Blackpink, I can't think of any kpop group where the individual artists have traction outside East Asia.

Haven’t watched much of Japanese movies . Korean and Hong Kong / Chinese movies >>>> pretty much everything else . Also K-dramas are the only thing keeping Netflix afloat.

She was refusing to get vaccinated then seems to have caved in after months of standoff where they had to delay the shootings. Black Panther fans were ok with her being replaced .

The solo artist market is mostly separate from the band market though, demographic wise. Plus BTS has the advantage that some of the members could cater hip hop. But yeah definitely, none of them are seeing this success again.

Most of the K-pop idols end up switching to K-drama once their idol group disbands. To the point Koreans always complain about idol actors being casted.

Yeah most people have only seen Japanese animation movies. But their live action films can be really special. Japanese animation though of course >>>>>

I used to like 1D but now they annoy me. I wonder if same thing will happen with BTS. Psy used to be big, right. Hardly he is talked about. So I have my doubt.

Aespa performed at Coachella this year. Stray Kids are getting good traction recently.

I think BP2 would look completely different if they replaced her too. At the end of the day, Marvel fans would have complained more 😆

I can't stand mainland China movies though. They are very mish-mash of everything else. 😆

I haven’t had a chance to watch any anime series/ movies in recent times . Twitter have absolutely ruined anime for me ( given the amount of white supremacists I see there with anime profile pics 🤢) . Truly want to watch something where I don’t have to run across those folks .
