The members of aespa

In the comments, netizens shared the wider issue of groups being unable to sell tickets in the US, and that the general trend proves bad for K-Pop tours. Others explained that, despite the impact aespa has in certain countries and the two members’ appearances at the Met Gala, it doesn’t prove influence or show in the numbers.
theres really only 2 girl groups who can sell a venue in US, let’s all cancel these kpop tours quick😭 https://t.co/Ajlk0coeIn

These 4th gen girl groups are supposedly selling 1M-2M albums each comeback and then can’t sell a fucking arena in the US, arenas Twice was selling like nothing in 2019 with 400k album sales 😭😭
This is why I don’t take 4th gen stans seriously, their faves success is FAKE!! 😭 https://t.co/nNd45KwYTX pic.twitter.com/VBEgoQdoHk

Even though some claimed that it was just due to it being presale, others shared that even after the general sale started, there were still a lot of tickets.
well anyway who cares, tons of tickets still available after general sale and even the VIP send off tickets haven’t even sold out yet 💀 https://t.co/q4pcKrsCIw pic.twitter.com/0SHJrwLWDr
