viral teaser dropped and everyone was insanely hyped. then the cb happened, the album came out, and literally everyone loved it. usually there are always a few onedoors who find something to complain about and ruin the mood but this time even that barely happened. onedoor or not, people genuinely loved this album. that’s why these numbers feel so strange. i’d say we’re just bad at streaming, but we’ve already proven that’s not true. during no genre, ifg was pulling 500k+ streams and the bsides were doing much better than home is now. so clearly onedoors can do it, and we can do even better we’re just… not doing it. honestly, if kdoors didn’t exist we’d be in a much worse situation. and i can’t help but wonder if some people got too comfortable relying on kdoors to carry everything. because after no genre we never really recovered when it comes to streaming. sure, a lot happened after that and there are reasons for the decline but i genuinely think some people started taking things for granted because they knew kdoors would always be there to save the day. no genre was such a good era and before that we had iisily too. it genuinely felt like a golden age. anyway if there’s one conclusion to take from all this don’t get complacent just because we’re doing well in korea. why shouldn’t we do well globally too? we’ve done it before and we can absolutely do it again please
@loguetowned@swimseahan we’ve seen better than this before so it’s not actually that good. yed, there are more kfans but we could be doing much better globally too because the fanbase is definitely there. the problem is that global fans aren’t giving it the attention and support it deserves
onedoors, please understand how serious this is and start streaming. jaehyun’s words are still stuck in my head and they still make me really sad. i don’t want to disappoint boynextdoor and i don’t want to see them fall. please don’t let that happen either and keep streaming
if you liked viral i highly recommend listening to home right away because it’s the best album in the world and being able to say “i listened to this album” is honestly the coolest thing ever. just saying
ONEDOOR PLEASE STREAM. YES, HOME IS THE BEST ALBUM IN THE WORLD, VIRAL IS THE BEST TITLE TRACK IN THE WORLD BUT IF WE DON’T STREAM IT, WE CAN’T GIVE IT THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES. SO PLEASE STREAM
boynextdoor please stop thinking about the people leaving the fandom. if they’re being dumb, that’s their problem, not yours. they never deserved you in the first place. look at it this way: you’re still surrounded by people who will always stay by your side, and i’m sure this album will bring in more new fans than the number of people who left
