okay y'all I have a bone to pick with somebody.
my fyp has been flooded with these K-pop news shorts which, yeah I know, come from less than reputable sources but lowk they have some truth to them to an extent.
I've noticed things.
like how Run It has apparently 'failed to make a big impact on Korean music charts and in some cases, global'.
I mean I hate to admit it but I agree. I think this is down to the poor promotions from JYP. honestly if I did not follow a WhatsApp channel dedicated to stray kids (it's a great WhatsApp channel and I might share it soon) I would not have known. promotions have failed skz big time, and also timing? pretty sure a lot of other groups had stuff going on too so yeah.
anyways I just felt the need to rant :))

@deluluskzsimp you have a very valid point about that daesang. the thought did cross my mind at some point and yeah, it could've been a fine fresh start if JYPE actually put a little more weight into promotions. I won't lie, half the other jyp artist kpop songs that I know are because they showed up on the day they released or even a week after release on my youtube and it's actually insane because I barely listen to SM or HYBE groups (well, hybe more than SM but still) and even tho I don't really have social media, i get wind of comebacks with plenty of time to spare before they arrive. Honestly skz's main issue is being held down by poor promotions. also you're so real about how they don't have much popularity in korea and it's so depressing

@aeirarara_15 Ur so valid for that. I saw the video too, and it's the truth; JYPE is shit at promotions. As someone who stans JYPE groups mostly, it's just sad. Take ITZY for example; they were so big even after Sneakers was hated on, they are still making good songs, but even me, a MIDZY, didn't hear of Motto until 3 days before it came out. Stray Kids mostly handle the promotions themselves, and when it falls through, they still have so much hype from their fans for people to dig for crumbs. But we can't also dwell on this because SKZ is not that popular in Korea as they are in the rest of the world. The daesang they got with Karma was their chance to start fresh and try bursting into the market, but JYPE clearly failed. They had the same problem with GIRLSET, but JYP America seems to have learnt from it, and they did a lot for CHAT.
