@Kanggomawo@Soursaiki@kchartsmaster yes, it was a rude awakening for the person I replied to who has no idea how Korean charts work. "in a few hours", "I'm always right" lmao. go and enjoy your video calls with AI chatbots of children kid, I'm good personally but whatever floats your boat.
@Soursaiki@ddoongiee@kchartsmaster no, this is the chart freeze that happens every night. it takes into account the entire last 24 hour period instead of the usual formula that takes into account hour by hour performance. check it in 4 or 5 hours and it will be back to what it was previously.
@Kanggomawo@Soursaiki@kchartsmaster "back at the top spot within a few hours" - it took several days for Rescene to drop to 2nd, and now they're 1st again as of 8pm KST. my point was not that A2O won't compete for the top spot. it's that Rescene are not a force to be underestimated in Korea. I don't care about A2O.
it's funny that French and Korean attitudes to work may sincerely be the two most opposing cultures that you could put together. the differences in the lifestyles of an average Korean and an idol are already quite big, let alone adding an average Frenchman into the conversation!

@ba7g147b@keonhosdaff@KpopStats07 you're missing the point, that was just one example of how they don't expend effort to court international fans. even groups who average 10-20k views a video add English subtitles. when they actually implement a strategy to promote internationally you'll see even better results.
@geojegyaru this is my favourite topic because it utterly exposes anyone who pretends to be in touch with the Korean music industry/national zeitgeist. it's totally ok to not be that, but don't then use your fantasy of what the Korean public thinks as a stick to start fights online with!
@keonhosdaff@KpopStats07 rescene famously does some of the least international-facing promotion (barring Japan) in the industry. none of their videos that blew them up into stardom even have non-Korean subtitles. the spotify numbers are, if anything, better than expected with this in mind.
