CNN feat. AOA: "K-pop stars battle for the Olympic spotlight"

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

(CNN) North Korea's all-female cheer squad may be grabbing the press at this year's Winter Olympics, but the South has a secret weapon of its own: K-pop.

A selection of K-pop stars, including girl groups AOA and Girl's Day, along with Taeyang, from the mega-popular boy band Big Bang, have been made honorary Olympic ambassadors, a vague term that sees the stars help endorse the Games and appear at official events.

"K-Pop is one of the most well-known and successful Korean cultures throughout the world," said Lee Kyusang, who is in charge of honorary ambassador management at the Olympics. "Appointing K-pop artists as honorary ambassadors has brought much attention to the Games."

But it works in the opposite direction too, providing an unrivaled platform for artists looking to reach new international audiences.

💞 some updates on jonghyun, poet | artist, etc. 💞

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

#Jonghyun placed 1st on January's Gaon chart with 151,224 sales!!! 😭💕💖 omg....https://t.co/onLbm0VdMh

— SHINee USA (@SHINeeUSAForums) February 8, 2018

though it's pretty bittersweet (to the point where i have no motivation to write anything out of lapslock): poet l artist has made it's debut on the gaon monthly album chart with 151,224 in total sales. these sales were accumulated through preorder numbers and the first eight days that the album was available for physical purchase. with the total recorded numbers: the album is not only his highest selling to date on gaon but the highest selling first month sales of any sm soloist. (for reference: by this i mean on the actual chart - not in terms of first full month. as of right now lay still holds the record for that with like 226k copies sold in a full month or so but whatever.) poet l artist is also currently seated at 86,368 in total sales on hanteo as of yesterday, making it his highest selling solo release on hanteo as well. (remember: gaon = demand, hanteo = supply. a big chunk of the sales on gaon that aren't recorded on hanteo come from preorders that hanteo doesn't count.)

a few other accomplishments made by the album so far include: debuting on the billboard hot 200 chart (which there was already a post on), ranking in the top five on the billboard world album chart for two consecutive weeks, topping the itunes weekly album chart, peaking at #1 on over thirty unique itunes chart (breaking the record set in the past by taeyeon for sm soloists and making him the only korean soloist to rank on that many charts other than g-dragon), topping the itunes worldwide album chart (being the only korean male soloist to do this other than g-dragon), topping the gaon weekly download chart (for the second time in his career), etc.

like said above: this is all really bittersweet and i wish he could be around to see it (though i'm not confident that the results would've been identical to this if he were still here which sucks to think about) but i'm glad that his mom is going to get all the money she will to apply toward that organization she wants to open in his name. beyond this: i'm gonna say to please keep the other members in your thoughts right now because they're in the process of preparing for their dome concerts, which the first is next friday (falling right on the two month anniversary of losing him) so it's going to be a really ... emotional and rough end half of the month. this is the calm before the storm!!
