What the hell is going on??

I honestly can't wrap my head around LABOUM's sales... For all of their physical releases (so up to "Miss This Kiss" - four singles and one mini album) they've sold a little over 10,000 albums. 

In four days they've sold over 22,000 copies, of "Miss This Kiss". :emma: 

What I want to know is... why did their label even make that number of physical albums? If previous releases have sold ~2,000 units each, why would they suddenly decide to mass produce over 20,000 albums?!

In the same amount of time (4 days) GFriend sold 19,775 physical copies of "The Awakening", so essentially they've outsold GFriend. 

All songs on GFriend's mini charted within the top #100, LABOUM's new song isn't even in the top #100. :flop::flop: 

Just... odd. It'll be interesting to compare Gaon sales with the Hateno sales. 
Currently only Hateno sales data has been released (actual sales) - in comparison Gaon sales show how many albums have been shipped from the label to stores. 

So if Hateno > Gaon... :emma: they've definitely faked sales data.

Meanwhile, the entirety of IU's "Palette" is top #10 on Melon legend.gif

Did Minzy's departure from 2NE1 cause a big scandal in Korea? I can't remember... That could explain why

I don't know to be honest, I didn't really follow it.

I expected her to sell a lot more just because, well... she was Minzy of 2NE1 :emma:

Perched for Minzy's 1st week sales :emma:

Current total is only 452 :smh:

I don't know when Makestar sales "count" - as Minzy will have ~200 albums to add and LABOUM around 400.

Not gonna lie I pre-ordered earlier this week with FedEx shipping so it should arrive ~27th :emma:

The Laboum thing is really weird. I was only vaguely aware of their existence in the first place, now they're outselling GFriend? wow.

I just listened to the new single- it's fine but it's not like it's so good as to explain the sudden success

Haha... LABOUM's MV has 23k likes... soon their sales will be higher than the likes :toofunny:

What's also annoying me is despite them "selling" 22,000 not a single unboxing video has been posted. I wanna see what it looks like :grr: maybe the album is just nudes and lesbian **** of all the members and that's why it's selling like hotcakes lmao.gif

Apparently Stellar are preparing for their comeback now - Makestar posted a few pics of them in the studio.

"You are kpop fans so your brains are washed but let's face it kpop seems cheesy for normal or western people and not only. Kpop is tragic because of the fact they are making men look like girls because of the swag they are making asians look like american africans lol and lyrics that sound like a baby with no brain would write something better."

nnnnn why does this entire paragraph sound like something an arrogant Ryan Murphy character played by Emma Roberts would say? :flop:
