okay im obsessed with redxin now too 🫠

How long it takes for ppl to understand: The 2 million plus sales of mini7 are NOT all real end-user sales. A portion of them were essentially “loaned” through these fansign platforms. Later, these platforms hold fansigns to resell the albums to fans and make up the numbers. Right now, the sales “borrowed” from yzy haven’t been fully paid back yet, so they have to keep running fansigns until fans spend enough to actually purchase all those albums. In this sense, Heeseung is basically being used to fill the gap in the group’s album sales. This kind of “loaned sales” tactic has been going on in K-pop for years and CN fansigns are being the end-consumers of these loans. What’s shocking is that hardly anyone talks about it, and everything is made to look as if every fansign is generating new revenue. NO IT ISNT.
