The "Aespa is flopping" narrative makes no sense

They just achieved their 9th win for Rich Man, making it their most wins for any song (surpassing their hit Supernova). All this while barely promoting the song in Korea. It's literally top 10 on Melon, Dirty Work is Top 15, Whiplash is Top 20 and Supernova is Top 50. Karina's Hot is Top 80. They also were the highest first week sales for any female group in 2025 with over 1 million copies sold in the first week. They're the third highest in total sales for a girl group in 2025, only behind IVE's two releases this year. You can hate the creative direction, but if this is what is considered "flopping" then what's the implications for other girl groups? Except for IVE and Blackpink, most of them struggled to chart high or at all in Korea. Are they considered flops? Of course not! I understand they're not everyone's cup of tea, but don't people understand attempting to label Aespa flops inversely means other groups are even worse off? Anyway, as a MY on TikTok aptly put it, "MY flop and your flop are not the same". submitted by /u/CrazyGailz [link] [comments]

14. Searched "Taehyung" on Reddit for this picture.

Just searched Taehyung on Reddit because I was looking for a picture of his airport departure and the top results are posts from the Snark sub. One post in particular caught my attention because they're hating on him for having a "weird vibe" and claiming they wouldn't be surprised if news came out about him doing weird things in secret - implying things like Diddy vibes etc. Like what brand of loser are you to be fantasizing about someone being a horrible person? And yet snarkers claim that the sub is just about disliking ARMYs, not BTS themselves. Anyways, DEATH TO ALL OF THEM. submitted by /u/Brilliant_Rub_5206 [link] [comments]

19. Pipe Down by STAYC is underrated, a b-side.

  • 3 hours ago schedule
  • reddit.com language

When the song started the instruments was odd but weren't something that I don't like. they start to sing and it similar to just STAYC, if you know TWENTY by them, they have a sound and they keep it which I like. You can't call it really slow, it is more like a pop r&b song. personally I like r&b elements. J starting songs is something I like to hear. the verses are sweet, not new for them! then comes the chorus and I like it so much, the production of the choruses is good. my fav part is the conclusion with "π‘Œπ‘œπ‘’ β„Žπ‘Žπ‘£π‘’ π‘‘π‘œ π‘“π‘–π‘”π‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’ π‘œπ‘’π‘‘", the "figure out" part keeps me chill like this is it! the vibe is great. part two of that line says "π‘‡β„Žπ‘Žπ‘‘ π‘›π‘œπ‘π‘œπ‘‘π‘¦ 𝑀𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑏𝑒 π‘‘β„Žπ‘’π‘Ÿπ‘’" by the way. some b-sides deserve the whole industry to listed to and give it a chance. if I am posting about each, I will never be done. the only thing I can complain about Pipe Down is the length. but I can't complain alot because it's such a dreamy song. I do feel like I wanted more, but still what I hear is sort of enough. so I truly appreciate this song. in case you like Pipe Down and it made you remember other songs, I would like to hear :) submitted by /u/Middle-Dragonfly-489 [link] [comments]
