Guess I was too hype... I passed out for several hours after that Space ended 😅😂 thanks again for all the great messages!

Woozi says #FaceTheSun only contains group songs (no unit songs), it was an idea they discussed ahead of time "Units are of course important to SVT but this album was about expressing our inner selves. From the 1st stages, we thought it would be difficult but it turned out great"

@Jeff__Benjamin
Okay #Carats so the news is out? Yeah, everything pointing to this being @pledis_17's true crossover year 💪💪💎💎

Jisung of @NCTsmtown_DREAM was asked to sing a part of his favorite NCT Dream song for #KCON2022LA's wish game. He chose "Ch-ch-ch-chewing Gum" that got a huge reaction from the crowd. That moment alone makes me think Dream could not only do their own US tour but play huge venues

HUGE: @JYPETWICE announces their first stadium concert in America. An encore US date for their 'III' World Tour will take place at the @BancStadium on May 14!
This makes TWICE the second-ever #Kpop artist and first female #Kpop act to hold a stadium show stateside

The amazing duality of Lisa is never more clear than in Born Pink tour. The pole dancing before "Money" was so cool to include (don't be fooled: it requires a *lot* of strength to pull that off) and to hear her curse or do a booty pop, then she breaks into a huge smile and laugh

@Jeff__Benjamin
Early industry predictions have Stray Kids' #MAXIDENT earning anywhere between 95k-110k units in its first week, which should lead to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200
'Oddinary' debuted at No. 1 with 110k units earlier this year (103k in album sales, 7k in streaming+tracks)

One of my favorite parts of the @KCON_official concert is watching the artists interact with each other for goodbyes at the end. I saw Stray Kids' Changbin and CRAVITY's Allen hug each other (Allen also did a kick flip in the middle of the stage, dude was feeling himself)
95
@Jeff__Benjamin
Updated industry predictions have Stray Kids still on track to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with #MAXIDENT, earning around 114,000 albums (107k from album sales) which would surpass the previous totals, album sales and streaming totals of their previous album. Keep going, STAY!

@Jeff__Benjamin
Early industry predictions have BLACKPINK's #BORNPINK challenging for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week with 80-85k units
If an additional 10k units can be gained to their total through the week, BP could likely have the No. 1
Every sale and stream counts!
