Fans of Twitter's Most Hated Groups (BTS, Blackpink, Ateez, Stray Kids, etc.), What's the Hate Like on Your End?

Point #3 i stg.... like i am actively a fan of both Pentagon and BTOB and a more casual listener of CLC, i would love for all of them to have blown out sets and budget, but, numbers dude. Idle's last mini outsold BTOB's best selling album by 30 thousand units, the only Cube group they haven't beaten is their former group Beast. If their current growth holds or even levels out they will almost certainly have the best selling Cube album ever their next release.

Of all active cube artists Idle have the most active CF deals, the highest relevance in terms, the highest sales, the highest charting, they are being invited to perform/appear on TV shows and at end of year/award show stages, and on top of all of that they are the YOUNGEST group in the company, meaning they have the most time left in their contracts and the most potential for future growth. It is an EXTREMELY SOUND INVESTMENT for Cube to put money towards their MV sets and budgets, to invest in their live stages, and to keep pushing them for outside events which, i will remind everyone, they still have to get an invite for. The only other group on Cube's roster who is/was actively a return on investment is BTOB and they currently have 4/7 members enlisted and are doing solo projects and musicals in the meantime. I have no doubt that once all the members return that we will start seeing BTOB content again.

Like the audacity to be angry that the highest earner at a company gets the highest budget? How do you think budgets work??? Genuinely how?????? You realize that Idle being successful actually makes room for Cube to invest more in their other groups? Right? Right??? Like people really think that Cube can just snap their fingers and get PTG or CLC invited to perform at awards shows, or like they're withholding CFs from them or something. Award shows invite groups with successful songs and albums and CFs are offered to idols by the advertising/paying company, not the other way around.

i'm not saying Idle "deserve" these things more, because "deserve" is a word that doesn't sum up how complicated capitalism in regards to human beings. But from a pure numbers standpoint, any investment in the other groups is, at best a risk, and at worst a money sink, while an investment in Idle almost guarantees a profit. Where is this not clicking?

It really feels like yelling at a brick wall sometimes.

I think a group having 900 photocards for an album is too much. We were promised a Full Album for aespa, its now a Mini instead. While LE SSERAFIM will still release their 1st "Full Album", it will include only seven new songs... Can we please get more ACTUAL Full Girlgroups Albums? Definition of filler members: Has the definition changed now that smaller groups are trendier? What BamBam(Got7) said about NewJeans Haerin is extremely creepy to me I don’t think criticizing a company is going to do anything Sometimes, I find myself baffled at the microscope of high standards that idols are held to. I just asked ChatGPT to come up with a plan for Kep1er and I think it did a better job than their actual management is doing. Seeing Newjeans Tokyo girl collection performance live felt Like a ' let down. ' What upcoming kpop things are you excited for? Blackpink does a lot of things K-pop fans wish their faves would do, yet they still get a disproportionate amount of hate. I feel like Le Sserafim might become the ‘Red Velvet’ of the 4th generation success wise BTS solo fans are so obnoxious and irritating Has anyone else seen Blackpink’s ridiculous touring numbers? When it comes to girl groups, social media narratives often have no correlation to the level of success. Looking at some of the year end numbers for EXO, i wonder why SM doesn't capitalise on them more.
