We did the math and tried to calculate if we can give BTOB a 100M poster on or before their 10th anniversary. And you know what? With the pace we have right now, I am so happy to announce that it'll only take us 675 weeks or 12.9452 years for Missing You to reach 100M

And for Wow, as seen above, it'll take 122 weeks or 2.34 years to get it to 50M. At least they'll have a 50M music video before their 10th anniversary, I guess?

So where I am going with this? I don't know. I want to express my disappointment, I guess. Because I know we can do so much better than this. But we just decided not to because BTOB sells inspirations, not albums right? Sure. Their physical sales are stable-

-their digital points are strong. But those achievements are in South Korea. What are their achievements outside Korea? What did the international fandom give them? I don't think we have the right to demand anything when we cant even do our part in the simplest thing - views.

Look, I'm not saying be a zombie streamer and completely abandon your responsibilities to stream. I also know not everybody has the capacity to stream, those factors aside, I know we can do better. If we all collectively just stream twice a day, the numbers would improve.

This is kpop, idk I became a kpop fan in 2018 but in another fandom. And everyone was so competitive, that's why I was(?) harsh when I ask people to stream, because literally if we dont reach the hourly mark everybody was angry, because we know we can do better.

Generally, kpop is competitive. I know we're not that kind of fandom but really? For a well known group, taking almost a year to reach 1M? And not to mention music shows also counts youtube streams for their points. So what's stopping us from doing better?

BTOB is not under appreciated, they're known. Most multis know who they are. Yes, most know them as that funny group but as fans we can turn that interest into a casual listener and a casual listener to a fan.

Kpop fans are number stans, 100M MVs pique interest, songs with more than 50M streams on spotify pique interest. Literally those numbers are PR for casual listeners.

I don't know. Where was I going with this? Lmao i'll probably get a lot of shit for this again but you know, I'll do my part. I'll do my best. Because I guess as a multi I understand how other people see groups based on their stats alone.

What are we lacking? I guess international promotion. But that's no excuse because groups with little to no promotions can be known overseas, and trust me. I know most kpop stans prefer flashy MVs and hard hitting songs but-

-one way or another they'll look for something comforting and soft, Something warm like a hug. And if they find BTOB, they'll never get out of it.

We already have the physicals and digitals strong in SK because kmels are doing such a great job and the general public likes them. If we manage to improve view count, man- we'd attract so many new fans.

So there, sorry for the rant. I know I'm annoying but there's honestly just so little a few consistent people who streams can do. Streaming is teamwork. It's the willingness to go out of your way, we can do it. We've improved! We can get there :)
