These knetizens bashing him with "He shouldn't be complaining, isn't his group always sell physical albums alot" " He has alot of fangirls, he shouldn't worry". :rolleyes:

These comments are too narrow-minded and stupid. It isn't the point here.

 

The point Jonghyun is trying to make here is, in the past when the digital market hasn't existed yet, physical albums usually sold around several millions within a week or less. Even casual fans and non-fans would buy full albums (physical copies) if they like the music enough no matter how expensive they were , hence, people had bigger appreciation and love for music compared to recent years. Nowadays, its mostly loyal fans/fanbase who only support buy physical copies of their faves act while most casual fans and non-fans only resort buying digital single/title tracks. In the past when only physical were accessible, people were more exposed to album tracks not just the title promoted tracks compared to recent years where people can only opt to buy certain selective tracks through digital market.

 

Physicals were considered like a treasure in the past where cds, vinyls, cassettes, etc. symbolized music as well the feeling of joy of owning them as valuable possessions and collections and they were expensive while nowadays, the existent and popularity of the digital market as well as the cheaper prices factor and the ease to buying and deleting them in just a click of a button, the overall value of music has considered to be roughly declined.

 

Edit:

Just think of unfortunate and sad it will be in the future when and if physical albums will no longer exist.

 

 

Its not really a new issue. This issue has been talked about alot since over a decade ago eversince the first emergence of digital market like Napster and itunes. Jonghyun definitely knows what he's talking and he is genuinely concern for the overall aspect of music industry. Its stupid for these knetizens to be coming for his words because what he says actually make sense.
