honestly, i don’t think nct’s popularity is declining as much as people make it out to be.
yes, if you only look at the numbers, the drop looks huge but people also forget that nct peaked during 2020 right in the middle of the pandemic. everyone was stuck at home, had way more free time and spent hours online. naturally likes, views, streams and overall engagement were much higher.
now it’s 2026 and people have grown up. they have full time jobs, university, families and responsibilities. most nctzens around me don’t even keep up with fandom discourse on twitter anymore or stay up for every album rollout. some still buy albums (while others have outgrown collecting) most don’t mass stream anymore because they’re simply busy living their lives.
but the moment a tour is announced? they’re there. they buy the tickets. to me that’s a much stronger indicator of a loyal fanbase than inflated social media numbers. you can lose views, likes and chart positions but consistently filling arenas and stadiums years into your career says a lot more about longevity.
if anything, i’d rather see a fandom mature alongside the group than be chronically online chasing numbers forever.
Two things would happen either haters will sit down a stfu or clense the fandom. If they could ditch a member for something we have no facts on from a company who corrupt. They were they real deobi in the first place. We swore to protect ALL of the boyz and that means to the right end we don't need people in the fandom who says this with no real
Meaning.
🚨🎙️Eminem on BTS reportedly choosing not to submit a song for Grammy consideration:
"Good. I respect it. I've been saying for years that artists don't need a gold trophy to prove they're great. If BTS decided they don't need the Grammys, it's because they've already built one of the biggest fanbases in the world. The Grammys don't define greatness, they never have."
"Now, look at someone like Nicki Minaj. Whether you love her or not, her impact on hip-hop is undeniable, yet she's never won a Grammy, then look at Beyonce, she's good but not all that and yet she has the most Grammys?. It goes on to show why people keep questioning the system. It feels like industry politics and behind-the-scenes influence matter more than the music. That's why more artists are realizing they don't need the Grammys, the Grammys need them."
Kevin forever being the member spilling facts and truth and that's why deobi love him so much ❤️❤️.
This is why Idols needs freedom to defend their asses that company's won't!
@Koreaboo Not cleared of grooming though he's confessed to all those. But in Korea grooming legal. Well done not a nonce but still a predator! I use to love him and his roles I will always cherish but he gives me the ick and I won't ever watch him again!
@wonheeblossom Not if then are popular members firstly that tells me their not deobi Chanhee is very popular and without haknyeon they would be no the boyz!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
@HaeilyYuu97@Koreaboo Their not even fans one of them quoted
Seriously…he is the only one that keeps attacking IST.”
The issue with 100 not IST and every deobi know that. Sounds like they wanted a dig and didn't research properly 🙈
@Koreaboo Seriously…he is the only one that keeps attacking IST.”
Tell me your not a deobi without telling me your not a deobi !!!!!!!!!!!!
Their issues are with 100 NOT IST 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈
@like_daniel2005 That's ju yeonho he is so cute and funny. He has a snagged tooth that is just the most adorable. He's my bias and I've never once regretted it. He gets a lot of shit for his weight but I think it looks healthy and makes him glow more.
Eric’s Fromm messages honestly felt like a knife to the heart. As an overthinker myself, I know how exhausting it can be when your mind won’t stop. I can’t even imagine how hard all of this must be for him. All he wants is to be on stage with all of his brothers and to be with deobis. And on top of everything, he still has his knee surgery ahead of him. But like he said himself, everything will work out for them and for us.
I hope you can feel all the love and support we’re sending your way and that it brings even a little warmth to your heart during these difficult times. This won’t last forever. Better days are coming.
I hope you know that the Eric from a few years ago would be so proud of the person you’ve become. Honest, strong, fearless… and so are we. Love you with all my heart ♥️
I finally finished watching My Idol, My Debut. I’m going to miss Jaeha and Choi Annie so much. I loved Q’s acting, he did an amazing job, I was really surprised by him. He has a bright future ahead of him as an actor. I’d love to see him play a villain someday.
The actress who plays Choi Annie was amazing as well. She created such a sweet and captivating character.
We’re so proud of you, Q. Congratulations. Please remember that for every hateful comment that reached you, there are countless more messages filled with love and admiration. Those haters do not represent deobis. We hope you know how much you are loved and supported ♥️
