"1.5 million reservations" Girl Queen's Kanroku (BlackPink)
「予約150万枚」ガールズ女王の貫録（BlackPink）
★ Pre-orders for BlackPink's new album "Born Pink", which will be released for the first time in about two years, have surpassed "1.5 million copies". YG announced on the 18th.
This is the number for one week since the reservation started on August 11th. Since there is still nearly a month until the album release date (September 16th), further sales are expected to increase, and the highest initial sales in K-POP girl group history are expected. The current No. 1 record is "1,126,000 copies" recorded by aespa with "Girls" released in July this year.
The base of K-POP's popularity continues to expand.
At the end of last year, IVE debuted and began activities, and it felt like the popularity of K-POP was expanding even more quickly this year.
This is because since the beginning of the year, leading new girls have sold more than 200,000 copies (recordings) of their debut albums in quick succession, demonstrating their presence.
For those on the outside, the number may have given the impression of "both cats and scoops."
In response to these trends, top-tier girl groups also made comebacks and sold even more. Older fans don't move that much.
It would be natural to think that the rookie girls have forcibly broken down the new fan base they have dug up and increased their sales and popularity.
Of course, there is no way that innocent K-POP fans in their teens don't know about Girls' Top "BlackPink".
When BlackPink held their breath and were doing solo activities with little interest, they probably didn't show much interest or concern.
However, now that they have heard about their debut in August, they must have listened to their hit songs on YouTube and other sources, and are starting to realize how amazing their music is.
"The songs with hundreds of millions of views are all good songs..."
BlackPink is already a legend.
We believe that the core of the "Blink" fandom is of the same generation as Jennie and Rose, or slightly older (mainly in their mid-twenties).
In this generation, there are many people who have become busy with their private lives and have started graduating as fans.
Therefore, it is speculated that among the 1.5 million pre-ordered copies, there are quite a few young fans who were stimulated by the appeal of K-POP through the music of new girls who are close to their generation.
Furthermore, it can be seen that the density of "blinks" scattered around the world is steadily deepening.
That's right, BlackPink was performing live on YouTube during lunch.
It seemed like the members were talking about their comeback, but it was surprising that more than 1 million fans were watching.
It seems that the fans were looking forward to BlackPink's comeback (who said that the number of fans had dropped sharply?).
At work, only ADSL is available, so I didn't get to enjoy the live performance.
However, I was able to enjoy their enthusiasm and charm as they headed for their comeback. The lunch was delicious as usual.
