#41.
Next week, what will the number be? Are you scared of thinking about it?
We are.
KissMes, we are scared that many of you may give up now. We have been working so hard this comeback. We have done much better than during Doradora promotion. But the result was much much more disappointed.
We know how hard you've been streaming, voting, doing anything you can do for UKISS. You're worn out. We know. You're broken. We know. But please, two more weeks, then we can all cry out of exhaustion. Just a little bit more.
As you may already know, this comeback, UKISS hasn't appeared much on Korean TV shows. Broadcast time (frequency of appearances on TV and radio) accounts for 20% of the points UKISS gets in Music Bank. Just how many digital sales do we need to make up for that ridiculous 20%? 5000? 10000? 20000? A lot. And that's the reason why we're so low on the chart.
See, KissMes, if we stop now, UKISS will even fall OFF the chart, no, we can't afford that. We just can't.
So please, turn sadness into strength, stream, receive songs from us, just two more weeks. Two more!!!
At this rate, we don't do this because we want to prove to Korean what they miss out. We do this because we love the boys. SO MUCH.
I just don't understand Korea. I don't understand how they can ignore them. They're so very good at what they do. They're so very talented, skilled, kindhearted, humble, and earnest. They are the best, the group that made me drop and ignore all other idol groups because I instantly saw how special they were. I don't understand why they're not as popular as some of the downright terrible groups that hold so much undue glory.
ReplyDeleteMy heart hurts. It hurts because they do so much and receive so little. They dance and sing until they're ready to drop without complaint or proper rest, catching catnaps in between the next performance or appearance, and still, they see next to nothing in their homeland. What is wrong with Korea? Or maybe a better question is, what is wrong with the so-called KissMes who still pirate their music?
Sales are absolutely vital. Are the boys you claim to love so much not worth the $8.00 their digital albums cost? How can you call yourself a fan, a KISSME, and steal from them with no shame? They need every single penny, not just for music charts, but to survive. They make less than 10 cents for every album sold. When they don't sell, you know what they get? NOTHING. Do you think NH Media will keep putting money into a group that never turns a profit? No, they will eventually DISBAND. Is your $8.00 worth that?
I see so many sites erected in their honor, so many Twitter and Facebook accounts, yet I still see hordes of KissMes who illegally download their music. We could help them SO MUCH MORE if every single KissMe worth their weight would take their allowance, part-time job money, or whatever, to BUY an album, especially a digital one. With this comeback, like every comeback, I bought 2. One digital, one physical, and I donated money. I'm not rich by any means, but I sincerely love U-KISS and I'm willing to sacrifice something else I may want to purchase to give the money to them.
Seeing this kind of fall on the charts breaks my heart, and if I'm hurt, then U-KISS are probably far more upset. We can do more. We're a small fandom, but if every one of us did more, we could help them. We can't depend on Korea, we KNOW that. The numbers simply aren't there. That leaves it up to us, International KissMes. U-KISS has fans all over the world. BAND TOGETHER.
KM STREAMERS was a brilliant idea, but still, there are not NEARLY enough KissMes on board. This is such a disorganized fandom where people are still worried about silliness like who has more Twitter followers or more site members… WHO CARES? Put those numbers to work. Motivate your members to help with comebacks, start collection pools well in advance of comebacks so your site/group/base can buy in HUNKS when the time comes. Worry LESS about circulating cute new photos and MORE about how you can combine funds for more albums. KissMes CAN do this.
Some of you have as many as 8,000 followers/site members. Imagine if each person in that ONE group bought ONE digital album. Now imagine if each KissMe who liked U-KISS' Facebook page bought ONE album. Imagine if all 16,000 members of the FB group, UkissKorea, each bought ONE album.
Yeah, the results would be wonderful. But as long as no one is willing to save their pennies, (Because, really, how expensive is an $8.00 album?), U-KISS will always be where they are now, at #41, a place where they never, EVER should be because they don't deserve it.
Start saving your money KissMes. Sacrificing just $2.00 per week for one month pays for a full digital album. You can do this, and we KissMes with paypal, bank accounts, and credit cards can help you. If we band together and decide that we're not going to accept this crap anymore for our boys, we can make all the difference in the world. Aren't Kevin, Eli, SooHyun, Kiseop, AJ, Hoon, and Dongho worth that?
Thank you, KM Streamers members, for trying so hard. I know U-KISS appreciates it.
I know what you are trying to say, and I completely agree with you. But ... Don't be so harsh with all Kiss Me's. Not all of them CAN afford to buy their things, I bet if they could, they would buy everything relating to U-KISS. But they can't. Either they have money problems and are struggling, or maybe their parents don't like that they are into K-POP stuff. I know a good little Kiss Me and she absolutely loves them, she can afford to buy things but she can't. Why? Because her parents hate that she likes K-POP. I know I don't understand why, but I'm just trying to say, yes. There are some fans who can buy U-KISS stuff but choose not to and illegal download, some that do buy don't really stream and support, but there are one's who would LOVE to help but can't.
DeleteI just wanted to say this, so please don't judge ALL the Kiss Me's. You don't know their reasons. As a matter of fact, please don't judge ANY of them. You have no right. But since your heart was in the right place while saying this, we all forgive you.
Hi. I would really like to buy a digital and a physical album of Stop girl, but my problem is that I don't have a paypal account nor a bank account. I'm not from Korea and I don't have anybody whom I can ask to buy one for me. Can anyone please tell me how I can help in buying their album given my situation??? T.T ... i really want to help U-Kiss T.T...thank you very much
ReplyDeletehello all.. i`m so touch to read comments on my above, even you all are anonymous but hey i love ur idea!! :D
ReplyDeletethat what i always think about how to really react to help u-kiss.. it`s right if not all kissme can afford that, i find it happen to me as well.. i just can buy the whole digital single plus one cd but i think kissme who cant afford it still love u-kiss and they`ll show their love to ukiss in different ^^
Km streamers it self still new to kissme, and yeah kissme used to just voting and keep voting without thinking about streaming and the importance of streaming. we cant blame them :D
this stop girl promotion tought us about the importance of being together and well-organized.. we have a lesson already and for next comeback, we can be lot more better than this.. let us inform kissme in our surounding about this idea, to at least buy 1 digital album per person, or not just a main track also can.. just hat simple thing will cause big if we do it together :DD
can we start to raise fund again? to show our beloved-helpful-korean kissme to help us buy more streaming card for the next comeback??
how about idea one digital single per kissme?? U-KISS fb has more than 1million likes!! imagine if all of them,,ermmn o, just a half of it buy the digital single,it`ll turn out victoriously to our boys ^^
it`s time to ask other kissme to join our force. time to persuade everyone.. we cant give up!! coz i really can imagine if ukiss get disband.. i found my happiness back after i know them and i thank them to give me such feeling..
kissme, we can do this if we can stick together ^^
BTW,Km streamers is jjang!!!!! :DD
love from indonesia
