SMH. The salty users in this comment section complaining about their faves missing were the same ones rejoicing when a music critic said selling millions of albums doesn’t mean the South Korean public even knows who the group is. I wonder if knowing that the groups attacked in that article are the same groups listed here with millions of unique listeners on Melon has changed their perspective 🤔
