Why are people acting as if selling 90,000 copies of your album on the first day is bad?😭

Remember when 90,000 sales was so good for groups to sell in a day😭 but nowadays it's considered bad?

galileo is such a cute song and reminds me so much of older twice songs. if someone as popular as twice came out with it, the public would be eating it up. tbh i love still love kpop but its clear that popularity means more than anything right now. its really not even about the music anymore...

Honestly the industry is SO competitive and SO saturated right now how can anyone focus on one group?? Also, “Mvsk” should’ve been their debut song and “Back to the City” should’ve been a title track.

when does kep1er not get hated on 😭

you know i always find it fascinating how just newly debuted groups immediately sell over 1 million copies but then struggle to chart in more than 2 countries and match it up with ORGANIC views and streams. kep1er might have been declining in popularity due to various reasons such as: mistreatment mis mananagement unfair line distribution so i prefer kep1er having low sales and digitals but still being able to chart quite good in more than 2 countries (china and japan are quite important countries to chart in for a kpop artist if you ask me). and also you can really see how kep1er has one of the most organic views as it had 4M views in the first 24 hours when some rookie groups and other kpop groups have more than 10M in the first 24 hours yk, it has a lot to do with popularity but sometimes these numbers seem a bit suspicious to me especially since ads are a really big thing now in the kpop industry. so with other words i like how kep1er is one of those groups where this whole comeback is done organically where things match with each other

I feel like some of y’all are just seeing popular groups having so many album sales that you forget 90k is also a very large number.

Everything now is all about album sales, views, charts,records like it’s not about music or enjoyment anymore

If only they released title tracks like Galileo after Up. This could've been avoided.

i don't think kep1er was ever going to be given a fair shot in south korea after the produce scandal and being the first mnet survival show group post scandal was going to be tough ... they were basically the sacrificial lamb or canary in the coal mine to see if the survival show concept for mnet would still work the south korean general public was pissed after the produce scandal and they didn't watch or support girls planet 999 especially after mnet announced they were done with survival shows around 2020 yet about a year later they announced girl planet 999 would air in 2021 on their channel there is a reason why mnet wrongfully or rightly had kep1er appear on queendom 2 as even though their debut with wa da da did well internationally especially japan, it didn't do as well in korea so they were hoping for what gidle and oh my girl got in a boost of their careers after the first queendom season domestically in korea for kep1er kep1er then released Up! who most kpop fans and even the kep1er fandom believes is their best title track and or most general public friendly song that was going to connect more with the korean audience ... well sales, views, and charting actually did worse than their debut with wa da da in early janauary of 2022 in korea ... that's when i knew kep1er had no shot of getting any kind of footing or traction domestically in korea especially when newer big girl groups were debuting at the same time ... korea public plays favorites in kpop and had their fair share of girl groups to "stan" so why support the one that came from a company and or tv network that broke the trust of the public with one of the biggest scandals in the country’s history at least in terms of the entertainment/music industry a few years ago i don't think south korea was ever going to support kep1er no matter what especially when compared to a country like japan who actually did watch girl planet 999 in the summer/fall of 2021 and whom cared very much to little about the produce rigging scandal, the finale of girls planet 999 had 5+ million viewers there, and japan is where kep1er is by far the most popular with 3 songs that have charted in the top 10, maybe a 4th with this recent comeback doing very well this first week, along with selling out 9 arena concert shows over the last year with an attendance of 85,000+ ... japan kpop fans are pretty loyal especially when compared to the vast majority of kpop fans internationally who are pretty fair weathered and whom are so quick to jump ship to the more popular groups in the now i honestly believe kep1er could've released top tier general public friendly songs from the start in january of 2022 ... hell if kep1er had release a couple of the most popular kpop song from girl groups over the last year during their run, i still doubt they would've been given the same love and attention as the kpop girl groups that did release them especially on the domestic front in korea best example i can use is we know the story with clc who was supposed to release la vie en rose but instead if went to izone and it launched their careers ... but does anybody truly think if clc released that song as their own it would've been as close to a big hit as it was and or it would've boosted clc's career as much as it did for the izone ... i highly doubt that but that's the kpop industry... a lot of it is luck but for most successful groups it really mostly depends on how big your company is as majority of kpop fans will only stan and support groups that come from the big 3 or 4 companies in the industry ... sure you may get a few successful stories from mid tier or even small companies but the odds still aren't great for most groups who debut regardless of how talented they are or how good the songs are that you released kep1er had a lot of factors and road blocks going against them from the start to be successful with the dark cloud of the producing rigging scandal forever circling over their heads and it's a shame to see where they are right now because the 9 girls are very talented and don't deserve the hate and ridicule they've received pretty much since debut ... here's hoping for the best of them for as long as they're together as they've been thru a ton from girls planet 999 and thru their entire tenure as a group that's why i usually and continue to support more small to mid tier kpop groups ... whom i believe have 90% of the pure talent in the industry but get only at best 10% of the success, popularity, and fame the the more popular groups receive

netizens are always hating on every girlgroups especially on kep1er ! this song was so good

First none of the albums have shipped out which part of the reason and idk why Stan’s think if they don’t do well in Korea their a flop or if they don’t chart well in Korea, Kep1er is doing very well for a group that’s gets horrible promotions and Kep1er is charting very well in us, Japan and even china that’s very good and better then charting in Korea. At this point y’all just love to hate kep1er😂

Who tf even cares abt all of these stats besides knetz ? Just enjoy the music lol, as simple as that.

The Sales are low because of the chuseok week. Alot of albums didn't get shipped and didn't get counted because several sale sites are on break until chuseok week is over. Also despite the fact wakeone only give out 5 pre order benefit stores out during the pre order time is the reason why they are so "low". In the end wakeone messed up because the set the comeback during a holiday week were they can't promote on music shows, album stores are on break and didn't give out much pob's while other groups had atleast 20 pob's before the pre order closed

New Jeans, IVE, Le Sserafim, Nmixx, XG, TripleS, so many groups have debuted after them that almost everyone is going to experience some decline. Especially when the lunatics buying 20 copies of an album are usually Fairweather and only capable of focusing on one group because 20 special edition albums is a good used car.

Kep1er always gets shitted on for no reason. I also think this mass album buying culture has rotted peoples brain into thinking selling above 50,000 at least isn’t that much while it literally is, that’s what most groups outside of the big 4 make. Also people forget wk1 has failed Kep1er bad their management is all over the place bc there was a lot of initial hype for them but bc they don’t know how to take advantage of that these are the results. Same fans preaching ab being nice to idols turn around and shit on people it’s really pathetic…

After Up, they just kindve tanked and I feel bad for them. They were doing so well and no one is going to give them a chance. Once you have one bad comeback, people leave so you really have to come back stronger every time.

I think this is better for members Kepler didnt signed the contracts for extension of the grouos..they should done better in their own path after disband. For mnet group,they re not that at all .They get bad management from the company wake one and their song + concept didn't fit their strong strenght as street dancers

But why mock the group and not the managment agency ?

Aren't kepler relatively popular in Japan, thus they have a lot of singles/promotion there? Every time I see a kepler show it looks like a dome show in Japan, or some giant stadium.

They just need good songs ..they are already talented

idc if its just me but i feel so bad for them like they were doing so good like wtf happend🤦🏾‍♂️ all their comebacks are good in my opinion but it seems like up was their last well received comeback we fresh was hated on sooo much, giddy did good but it was kinda forgotten and now this🤦🏾‍♂️

Mine hasnt shipped yet because of the holiday. 90k is just 20% and 80% still waitig to be shipped FYI

When txt debuted, 90 thousand album sales was huge for a debute album but now expeactations are high for rookie nowadays, for kep1er, it’s disappointing since album sales are decreasing

Kep1er is absolutely one of most iconic and emblematic girls groups of 4th generation (I'm big Kep1an since 2021/GP999) for me and reaction of stupids and competitive netizens is absolutely criminal and forgivable . WA DA DA, Up!, We Fresh, Giddy and now : Galileo is so memorable ✨️ for me 💞💘💗 ! Wa da da even presents the ability and potential to surpass senior IZ*ONE . Please, buy Kep1er's new album or even several of the same album to make Kep1er shine again as he deserves . In a few years, I hope that these netizens will discover that they were completely wrong and that they did not know the real success that is Kep1er 💗 .

I think their sales are healthy

firsttt❤

THEY DID IT FOR THE ARTS NOT THE CHATRS

I am a keplian so my opinion is a tad but bias but i feel like kepler makes songs that have a cute teen concept. And i do agree that the some of the title tracks should have spent a little more time in the workshop (line distrabution and the actual song itself) i love them regardless. One thing i can say is that almost all of keplers best work are the B-sides which in kpop b-sides are always supperior but i feel like thats true especially with kepler

The sneak in 0:47 with first flop survival show group💀 like many other survival groups don’t flop, y’all just never pay attention to them. That’s not to say that Kep1er discography is the best but I think their recent comeback is cute and the album has good songs (some of them sound Fromis_9 -ish which I LOVE)

Luv ur vids!!❤

Do y'all realise, the comeback happened in CHUSEOK??? A national holiday. where a lot of companies are off and therefore NOT SHIPPING albums. even with re reduction in pop benefits the album was selling out on 30+ sites. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a massive jump once chuseok is over in album sales. As for the streaming the knetz hate train is strong and stupid. its topping the charts everywhere else internationally smh

I love comeback

*thoughts:* _most of these so-called netizens are garbage. or should i call them bored, unsuccessful, unhappy and envious trolls, bullies & haters_ *?!* _this inferior rabble only feels big and strong in the protection of the anonymity of the internet. if they had to say their crap into the faces of those they are gossiping about, they are spreading rumors about, and they are insulting in the worst way, they probably would wet their pants._ (personally i absolutely don't care about sales, views, subscribers or likes. if i love and admire artists, i do this because of their character traits, their singing- and dancing skills and their "hilariousity")

Kep1 released at an opportune time for instant success but a bad time for longevity. The musics 🔥 the girls 🔥 management 💩

Kep1er perfect ❤❤❤❤

Kep1er make very good kshows.

Not fail group. These girls are killing them game

They decided to release terrible music after Up, and only recently got back on track so it makes sense

I feel like their sales just match the comebacks. The comeback is good and 90k sales is good. It's not incredible but neither is the comeback.

why can yujin not escape nugudom? 😭

Many ppl order from makestar and they still haven’t shipped yet okay?🤩

In a healthier kpop industry, sales would be divided between each group who makes good songs. Eventually the numbers will be smaller on their own but it will be so much more fair. For example maybe Kep1er sales go down but fromis_9 sales go up, making it more balanced between groups who release equally good music.

I love them and I support them since the beginning but I think it’s true that their popularity has declined. However, not because of the girls but poor management, the more popular members literally got less part. The amount of parts those members got is opposite to their individual YT views and the company simply ignores it.

first flop survival group? how about classy?

Jesus and God loves you so much so look and build a relationship with him. Repent of your sins and trespasses and forgive those who have trespass against you ❤❤❤💗🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

Jyp really f them and itzy

CAN WAKEONE CHANGE THE COMPOSER / COMPOSER / ARRANGER???? SO MUCH WASTED TALENT!!!!!! if sales for the album are decreasing, why can't they just act accordingly?????? AGH! >>>>>>:(((((((

knetz are the reason why theyre not as popular as they used to be (in korea) so why r they acting like that?

the reason is bcoz their song not get attention anymore .people choose aesthetic mature concept .more than cutesy concept their song might good but the the concept not do well these.different with ioi and izone concept more mature and have sentimental value days

I just don't get why they got these poor music while during survival shows their budget was colossal

kep1er def buy ads for views, their is nothing is kpop that is genuine never forget when they beat nayeon 😂

netizens are right on this one

Kep1er is not Big in SK But They r BIG in JP ... so Success is success No Matter Where... n JP is #2 in Music Industry

Just wanna say that Kep1er have good songs but all like to complain about it.They can sing it live too.Others care about popular group connected with kakao that loves to shade other groups w/o reason🫶🏻
