[theqoo] BTS fans out here cooking up Melon reverse-streaming conspiracy theories

Today, IVE’s Bang Bang snatched the #1 spot on Melon’s daily chart again

So now… BTS fans are spinning this wild conspiracy that fans of NewJeans, BLACKPINK, EXO, BIGBANG, Seventeen, etc., plus other communities, are reverse-streaming IVE’s Bang Bang to make BTS’s title rank drop

"Follow

Allied reverse-streaming?

What the heck is this stupid nonsense 

Yo, is this even a comeback?

I’ve been chilling with easy stanning since COVID. Seniors, help me out, what do I even do??"

“Reverse-streaming isn’t even surprising 

It’s always been like that, busy trying to bring us down

What can you do, just quietly do what we can

All that energy spent on hating? Totally useless and not even cool"

“Reverse-streaming isn’t even shocking, it’s always like that, they’re just busy trying to drag us down

What can we do? Just quietly do what we can

All that energy spent on hating is totally useless and not even cool"

“Not just in Korea, even overseas they’re doing reverse-streaming and reverse-buying. BTS really is something else

But honestly, it’s just us against the world”

Fact: IVE’s Bang Bang didn’t gain more listeners, but only BTS’s songs are seeing a drop in users…

And like all idol fans know, we don’t even stream our own faves these days… so streaming someone else’s…???? (the whole squad: confused af)

original post: here

1. We don’t even stream our own faves, so how do people even come up with the idea that we’d reverse-stream just to mess with another group’s rankings? Like… is that even stanning??

2. They’re probably serious tho… gotta hit #1 to be ‘famous,’ right?

3. No, setting all that aside, just the idea that people on Theqoo are plotting to reverse-stream is so ugly and pathetic, can’t even. And they’re so clueless about Theqoo… if anyone actually tried to gang up and do that, all their IDs would get wiped out

4. I’ve literally never even heard the word ‘reverse-streaming’… Usually girl group songs hit harder cuz they’re more mainstream… 7AM chart is commute time, I’ve always thought that’s just normal… Guys’ songs climb at night, girls’ songs climb during the day… isn’t that how it officially works…?? Ah… or maybe not…

5. I don’t listen to the song cuz it’s bad!!!! IVE was already popular, 404’s challenge was trending, everyone was talking about it positively… but lol what nonsense is this

6. I’ve been into K-pop for like 2+ years and I’ve literally never heard that word beforeㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. Talking about reverse-streaming like it’s a thing. I can barely keep up with streaming my own faves, who’s gonna stream someone else’s?

8. People only see what they wanna seeㅋㅋㅋ Like, who even does that stuff, except for them reverse-streaming to beat NewJeans’ record?

9. Reverse-streaming my ass… people just don’t listen cuz the song sucks

10. Even if you grind your ass off promoting streams, it won’t work… seriously, get a grip on realityㅋㅋㅋㅋ
