yaaay this got posted! it's a bit stressful for me making these posts (also for the mods i think!) because there's no preview on lj for tiktok videos — i just see a grey box in the post editor.

anyway, i am not sure to what extent tiktok is different from other social media platforms (or if it really is), but what is interesting about the platform is that trends move soooo quickly and many idol tiktok accounts struggle to keep up with them, especially if idols aren't given a bit more free reign by their company to post, like for example txt and p1harmony apparently get. p1harmony has got really good interaction on tiktok even though for a boy group i don't think they're particularly very big i think? but kpop fans still watch their videos because they're on trend, so if you like kpop and keep up with tiktok, you'll most likely see them on your tiktok for you page. most idol accounts, however, seem to be still largely in control by management, which creates videos that might not be very interesting for non-fans of the group or kpop in general — so less chance that the group/artist gains new fans from posting videos on tiktok. making videos with other artists, like somi and weki meki are doing, makes it a liiittle bit more interesting for users to check out groups they're not a fan of
but these are just my two cents as a tiktok user!
