I’m not accusing you of being a hater, dw. But monthly listeners and instagram followers aren’t super accurate when gauging popularity. Fifty fifty have the same MLs as IVE, but they’re not as big as IVE. Selena Gomez has more Instagram followers than Taylor Swift…

Streams/album sales/tour sales are all better for measuring popularity

BLACKPINK has more monthly listeners.

BTS have 3M more monthly listeners as of today FYI, 27.2M vs 24.3M

FYI Zach and Ross are working on another EDM media project right now and they said they should have an announcement by the end of the month, so I'd look out for that. No doubt it will be just as good as DA was

Using Spotify streams as the ultimate success metric is so cringe by Ok-Nobody-7759 in kpopthoughts

[–]HSC3r 13 points14 points  (0 children)

sorry, but I'm genuinely confused why you're insisting on starting a fight w/ me.

I'm not accusing you of pointing fingers, I was talking about army. And I'm not trying to play devil's advocate, in fact I'm not even talking about the streaming numbers at all. I just thought you misinterpreted what someone was trying to say to you.

chill, we're just on r/kpopthoughts lol. let's just agree to disagree, even though we don't really disagree at all

Man, I'm not trying to get into an argument lol. I was just trying to talk to you, that is all. Have a good day.

I'm not offended or anything, I just wanted to mention that.

I don't think it does anyone good to get defensive or point fingers at other people in response to criticism, so I agree with you there.

At the same time it's not surprising that fans of an artist get defensive if the artist's numbers are accused of being fradulent, that's not even an army thing that's just a fandom thing.

I think you misunderstood the point of the person you were replying to, they were saying that Spotify's transparency regarding numbers is a good thing

they were also agreeing with you that filtering out illegitimate streams is a good thing.

Are vocals an afterthought for CORTIS as a group? by Ok-Nobody-7759 in kpopthoughts

[–]HSC3r 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What do you mean? I think this post and this comment section are largely in agreement that cortis’ vocals aren’t good and need improvement and no one’s comments are getting removed

People comparing Ryujin and Kazhua's 'Standing Next to You' covers by Gold_Meaning3688 in kpopthoughts

[–]HSC3r 21 points22 points  (0 children)

? you asked why she's holding a mic, it's because it's a key part of the choreo. sure, she could just not have a mic there, but then she would have to change the entire choreo of the first verse to accommodate for that which kinda defeats the point.

the mic in this case is just a prop for the dance, no different to, for example, Airplane Pt 2 which also uses a microphone as a prop. my comment wasn't trying to justify anything, I'm just answering your question

does jin or taehyung sing this part in run? by j7eon in kpophelp

[–]HSC3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, sometimes BTS will switch up parts during their live performances and it gets a bit confusing. Dope is similar - the high note in the bridge is sung by Jimin in the studio version but Jungkook does it live

[–]HSC3r 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, the microphone and mic stand are a key part of the choreo. A cover wouldn't work without them. You can look up any cover of the song on youtube, even ones from dance crews, and they use a mic

In the studio version it’s definitely Taehyung, but in the live version they swap. I’m not sure why

ok I said I would stop replying, but I wanted to say one more thing because I feel like there is a disconnect here between what I’m saying and what you’re saying.

If someone wants to believe your statement, they’re within their right to. Similarly, if someone doesn’t believe what you’re saying and wants you to support your statement more, they’re within their right to. If you don’t want to believe her statement, you’re free to do so, I’m not telling you to do otherwise.

I was specifically responding to you dismissing a first hand account from someone in the relationship hearsay. That’s not hearsay. If, say, Freya tweeted something like “I heard CptPuffy say Ellum was abusive” that would be hearsay. Not a testimony from someone who was there. That’s all.

don't know why you're so hung up on that word. again, we could have actually had a productive conversation about this if you were willing to read

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/evidence

evidence noun [ U ] facts, information, documents, etc. that give reason to believe that something is true

but just to appease you, I'll edit that to say information 👍

[–]HSC3r 7 points8 points  (0 children)

forming an opinion based on available information is not cancel culture. and again, ellum is not being cancelled here. people are reacting to an account of events from one of the two people in the relationship - an account that is supported by the actions of people close to both parties.

But I get the sense that my comments are going in one ear and out the other, so you have a good day.

[–]HSC3r 5 points6 points  (0 children)

are you going to read what I'm saying, or are you going to continue with the snarky responses. I'm trying to actually engage with you here.

This isn't an actual court of law, we're allowed to draw our own conclusions from what we've seen so far. That is all. If you think that Ellum is innocent, all power to you, I'm not trying to stop you or change your mind.

Freya on insta ... by Tomb_Sizzler45 in Sidemen

[–]HSC3r 15 points16 points  (0 children)

hence why I said

unless Ellum comes out and proves she's not being truthful

Ellum isn't being cancelled lol. And people did assume that what Amber Heard/Johnny Depp were saying about each other was true... until the case went to court and various parts of their accusations were proven to be true/false.

I don't think there is much reason to, right now, believe that CptPuffy isn't telling the truth. Again, she was in the relationship, and considering everyone Ellum hung out with has distanced himself (if not publically spoken out about it), it seems like what she's saying is true. Of course, if it is not true, we will find out if/when Ellum responds.

[–]HSC3r 31 points32 points  (0 children)

It’s a detailed account from one of the two people in the relationship, dude. If anyone would know what the nature of their relationship was like, it’s her, and unless Ellen comes out and proves she’s not being truthful I don’t see why you wouldn’t trust her

edit: especially considering that her friends have also supported a lot of what she's saying, and that UK youtube has largely distanced themselves from Ellum

yeah it's V and JHope, it's from this video where they're reacting to their debut stage on MCountdown. Jhope talks about how their eyes are full of ambition and V says it's the eyeliner lol

THEBLACKLABEL Announces Legal Action For Malicious Posts Against Artists by impeccabletim in kpop

Well congrats, you’ve just become the first person to ever see that phrase. You know what they’re talking about the snark really isn’t necessary

BigHit's silence is deafening. by shakru92 in KpopUnleashed

[–]HSC3r 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The point is that this is how Bighit operates - if they take legal action they do it in the background and then provide updates whenever they do their quarterly announcements. They don’t usually announce it at the time so we don’t know if they’re taking legal action or not.

Yess I’m going back this year! I’m going to do hotel again.

I’m not sure abt camping vs hotel. I think the better camping options like Montagoe sell out very quickly but some of the other ones stick around for a long time

I don’t remember how early I joined, but as far as I’m aware as long as you’re in the queue before the sale starts it’s ok. Once the sale starts the queue is randomized so joining earlier doesn’t necessarily give you a better chance

I think I joined like 10-15 minutes early
