Idek anymore. Even groups like BTS who don't use ads had lower than normal 24 hour debuts this time around. YT's newest algorithm is currently unfathomable.

Is that true? I thought they counted as normal real-time views but would not be taken into account toward any "first 24 hours" record.

I use my PC's Blu-ray player and the CD player in my car for my albums. I've kept it so long for sentimental value, I could never sell it.

Oo nice. I still have my Discman (D-121) I got for Christmas in 1993. It still works too.

Christmas Rose = memory

As a person close to Leo's age, I grew up watching him act. I have to say it was difficult to take him seriously sometimes because the man looked 14 well into his 30s. Titanic was hilarious to me because Kate Winslet was this beautiful lady who looked way too old to be with him.

This isn't a bundle to sell MotS: 7, it's literally just for the single 'ON' on vinyl. It says it right on the tweet you posted. This doesn't even help album sales.

I really really hope the idol industry phases out the fake boyfriend/girlfriend aspect in the future, because this shit is truly bizarre. Especially with kpop getting much more global, it just clashes horribly with international perspectives of what people expect from musicians. This fan entitlement mentality is horrid. Imagine asking someone to leave the group because they got married. Say that to anyone outside of kpop and watch them laugh in your face after being seriously confused for a minute.

Lol same. I don't even really follow girl groups and I know this article is a crock of shit. My goodness.

I have nothing against tattoos, but man I cannot fathom people who tattoo their face (when it's not cultural).

Oh lol, that wasn't even directed at you or this thread (I actually forgot the reason I was here after reading several replies). This is just a general thing I see all over every platform. Sorry to derail with an adjacent point to yours. ^^

It always makes me laugh when I see people hate on EDM, but you see the songs they hype and you're like....but that's also EDM.... It's become a horribly misused buzz-term for "sound I don't like".

Yes, J-hope is my ult and Jungkook is not far behind him, both from the only group I follow.

........WHAT Even I, a whole non-fan, am completely blown away by this ridiculous fucking comment.

I'm not really what I would consider active anywhere (I lurk 90% of the time), but I spend the most time on discord, twitter, and reddit.

Great, now I have READY STEADY GO stuck in my head.

People who automatically defend disgusting assholes just because ARMY are mad at them sound really fucking stupid. This man thinks this way about everyone's faves, not just ours.

Not sure what people think Big Hit can do about this. While I agree it's ridiculous that the media are covering this step by step, unless they outright lie or exaggerate, they are free to report on it. Now, any people in the comments spreading hate over this, those can be dealt with. But BH usually does that quietly and we never hear about it unless the person in question goes out and complains that they were prosecuted.

Same. A Goofy Movie came out when I was 17, and I rented it from the video store. Even though I was around Max's age, I thought he was a little shit. This is one of my all time favorite Disney movies though. I even own the soundtrack.

I was scanning recent thread titles, read this one and wondered if we had gone back in time. Like, we all knew this already, but I guess Kai had never technically mentioned it? Anyhoo, I love friendship groups.

You can dream whatever you want, however I wouldn't wish performing at the Super Bowl on any kpop group. They'd get vicious hatred by American football fans.

It's the US, we get everything slower than everyone else. I live next to freaking Silicon Valley and there's still people in my city who aren't wired for internet faster than DSL, god forbid you want anything fiber optic.

Yes, also for work (in the US). It's annoying, but easy.

Wings didn't come out until mid-October. Most of 2016 was filled with these kinds of threads and constantly being told they had no hits in Korea and having their digitals trashed. This sounds like looking back with nostalgia glasses.
