Wait what? What happened?  

 

Not a fan of that group. Barely know them.

 

Not a fan of current K-pop in general. I’m all old and jaded now lol.

Oh my..maybe it was someone else

 

Now that I think about it you seemed all excited about Korea and Korean pop culture a few years ago so maybe it's the younger Sam I'm talking about

JL heading to a horrendous 75% drop, 2M is dead

 

SW8 begins preselling , 2,871 with 12 days to go.

How about The Swindlers? How’s it holding? Thanks Olive.

 

South Korea is like the only Asian market DC just can’t seem to crack the code to.

 

Seems decent for TLJ.

How is TLJ doing in pre-sales? I know that SW is weak in SK but they put a considerable marketing effort for TLJ and tailored it to Korean audience (that K Drama Chart of Characters).

too early to judge, we won't have a idea until 5 days prior to release.

EP7 made $24M+, this one most likely will be +/- 10%
