svt's still doing so well

Spoiler

but this recent overwhelming focus on japan is gonna backfire eventually. k-carats is the core of svt's fandom and there will be a point when they snap, lol

 

[crazykuroneko]

atm I'm not sure but the problem is that svt have been in japan for past 4 months or so with the haru tour and their new japanese single. pledis recently announced part 1 of the world tour stops but it was just japanese cities, so now even international fans are feeling like it's unfair that pledis is focusing so much on japan

as for me I've never rlly liked the idea of japanese promotions. many of my old (nugu) faves ended up just spending years over there without any korean comeback. granted svt is far away from nugu status but i don't know if their k-fandom is gonna sit still if japanese fans keep getting more things

yeah. i can see the problem. on the one hand, i'm glad to see them expanding their horizons, and on the other, no one really watches/listens to japanese content that much aside from japanese fans. and tbh idk if they're going to take japan seriously or just for some extra cash/sales

BTS are a wall! Their continuous growth

Seventeen's sales are impressive. I think with the next Korean comeback they can sell over 500K+

For Iz*one's Heart*Iz, i think the sales include Kihno version? Maybe they can get the Gaon Platinum certification.

I believe the sales above are from May Gaon update, and there'll be June update from Gaon this week or next.

And Txt and Ab6ix are rookie kings. i think with June update, Ab6ix's sales will be over 150K.

Gaon is coming this thursday..so i hope heart*iz can get that first plat!! And i can also totally see svt going 500k soon. It was a slow and steady pace but they finally made it

Next Thursday, on the 11th. And if Heart*IZ goes platinum, i believe the next certification update will come with the July chart..

Their certification would come next week if their main album without Kinho version surprass 250k copies, just like TWICE and BP in May.

Oh mess you’re right. This week’s gaon update is June 23 - June 29. Monthly charts will be out next week

But according to Square Up, as long as it reaches 250k, and it’s more than 6 weeks old, it’s already eligible for certification asap (no need to wait the following month)
