What's the "legit" ratio usually? I want to check Everglow's, kii.

You can also measure up

ITZY's Wannabe has 108mi views and 2.3mi likes. This would mean if they had 10.8mi it'd be roughly 230k likes.

I think it's important to compare the like/dislike ratio too, though.

This made me go back and check on Nature's views....

Oopsie My Bad is at 9 million views with... 10,000 likes.
I'm So Pretty at 10 million views with 14,000 likes.

The fact that Oopsie has 1.4 million views legitimately on the Stone Music upload and 55k likes, which isn't even bad, makes their obvious payola even worse.

Where are they setting those vids as ads then? I have heard of precisely nobody that has seen it pop up.

Not that I actually know anyone who doesn't use an adblocker, I should clarify.

Seriously love this woman more and more with every new video of her performing Stay Tonight.

Watch out, peeps. She's got vogue and she ain't afraid to use it.

CLC booked and busy during a pandemic thanks to Sorn’s connections. CUBE can choke. I can finally see them touring live ddd

Rem · May 2, 2020

Since Everglow's last song has 2M likes does that mean the majority of their views are legitimate? I'm quite surprised ddd

Regarding Stay Tonight, here's an interview with the producer Anna Timgren:

That I don't know, I do know that a significant portion came from Malaysia, where it was in the top ten in trending for about a fortnight after it launched.

Wasn't there also briefly some controversy about it being plagiarised as well? That's what I remember from the song

Sanctuary · May 2, 2020

Catching up on April releases and some of these genuinely slapped:

Lowkey I prefer this.

Blackpink in the studio with Teddy & GD. It's about to be a cultural reset.

Until they actually release it, I'll assume Jennie is doing guide vocals for Extra Battery Life (in Copacabana remix) due to be released by the next YG girlgroup.

You forgot the part YG thinks we're looking forward to the most, "(feat. G-Dragon)".

Can’t wait for Solo (Reggae Remix, feat. G-Dragon)!

APink won for the 8th time and didn't even perform. They were up against Got7, who did perform, and still won. For a girlband, nine years into their career, rebounding from an (undeserved) flop release, I'd call that pretty legendaric.

Flop release?

Didn't Eung Eung do well?

If so, tasteless.

Not Lana trying her luck in Produce Camp 2 (another Chinese P101 spinoff) after flopping in Korea dd.

It peaked at #17 on Gaon, so I wouldn’t call it a flop, but it certainly didn’t do as well as it should have. For comparison, I’m So Sick peaked at #3.

In other Gaon news, Dumhdurum got a new peak and is now #2 on the Digital chart! LALALILALA is #100.

How many of them has there been now?

If I'm not mistaken...

Idol Producer series (unofficial)
- Idol Producer (Chengxiao was a mentor)
- Youth with you
- Youth with you season 2 (Lisa is the dance mentor, NATURE's Aurora and DC's Handong were contestants)

P101 series
- Produce 101 China (WJSN's MeiQi and Xuanyi were contestants, finished first and second and joined Rocket Girls)
- Produce Camp 2019
- Produce Camp 2020 (Victoria is a mentor, gugudan's Sally and Lana are contestants.)

There was also a show where Miss A's Fei was a mentor that flopped and another one where the winners never even got to debut.

IT'S A MESS.

I still think about Dreamcatcher having their first show win pulled out from under them on a regular basis...
