GOT7 has been struggling digitally for 5 years?

Pann: Boy group from big company who's been flopping digitally for 5 years

1. [+302, -58] JYP's problem is that they have no idea how to manage boy groups ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2PM's beast-dol concept is old. Idol fans are not interested in that concept anymore. I sighed when I saw Stray Kids... Their visuals were worse than small company idols.

2. [+172, -106] GOT7's international fandom is a wall? I've never heard that. Isn't it BTS?

3. [+163, -100] The fans always mention international fans when it's not even true ㅋㅋㅋㅋ For international fans, it's BTS, EXO, and Bigbang only.

4. [+91, -13] I'm not a fan but why do you care whether GOT7 is doing well or not? Worry about your own life.

5. [+84, -26] GOT7's international popularity is a wall? They've never charted on the main billboard chart and even Momoland is doing better than them on Youtube ㅋㅋㅋㅋ To speak about their international fandom, the walls are only BTS, Bigbang, SHINee, and EXO.

6. [+70, -0] They need more teenage fans. I'm not saying that fans in their 20's and 30's are bad but to become issued, you need young fans. That's why Hard Carry did decently. Their recent comeback had good styling, MV, and choreography so they'll gain more young fans if they keep promoting on music shows and rank higher on Naver Cast. Instead of minding the trolls, write promotional posts on community sites to promote the group.

7. [+61, -8] GOT7 is doing well on the charts except Melon, why do you have to be like that ㅠㅠ

8. [+55, -20] They say GOT7 has big international popularity but their Youtube views are less than Red Velvet and they've never charted on the billboard or the UK charts.

9. [+52, -13] It's sad to see GOT7 getting underrated in Korea ㅠㅠ Cheering for GOT7 as an Once~ I'm streaming Lullaby along with Twice songs.

10. [+52, -0] GOT7 has a big fandom and they're powerful but it's like their own world. They're way too quiet and they do things by themselves. Usually, this type of fandom is for experienced groups like B1A4 and VIXX but GOT7's fandom has been like this since the start. They were doing well until Just Right and A.

The Land Use of Berlin

Back in July Bloomberg mapped out how American uses its land.

Of course that urban land is also made up of a number of different types of land use, including buildings, parks and roads.

Stealing the Maldives

Naming Philadelphia's Neighborhoods.

Everybody loves to argue about neighborhood boundaries.

Don't they?

What makes these arguments so great is that with no official boundaries no-one can prove that their views are correct. Except if you live in Philadelphia.

Residents in Philadelphia who are involved in an argument over a local neighborhood boundary can just refer to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Philadelphia Neighborhood Map.

Clothes are expensive these days?

Pann: Aren't clothes really expensive these days?

1. [+188, -2] These days, online shopping sites are not that cheap, either. Same clothing is priced differently on different sites...

2. [+171, -1] Domestic brands are also low quality but they're priced at a premium. The shoes aren't even worth $5. It pisses me off that clothes are $20~30.

3. [+159, -7] Agreed. But there are people who look down on non-brand clothes.

4. [+78, -1] Spa brands like Spao and Who.A.U do a lot of sales and you can get their clothes for $10ish but designer brands are way too much. Their prices on sale are more than $30, but they confidently call it "amazing price".

5. [+73, -0] Seriously. Brand hoodies start from $70. It's too pricey.

6. [+72, -0] Agreed. I used to think online shopping sites are cheap but they became expensive, too.

7. [+67, -0] We're not just talking about the price but when I wash the clothes, they shrink. The clothes are expensive despite its low quality.

8. [+47, -0] Seriously, why are they so expensive? Winter clothes are thick and expensive, two winter clothes cost me $100.

9. [+41, -0] They cost less than $10 at the factory price, I don't understand why they're selling it for $50~60. My favorite brands all have $90 hoodies, so I always have to buy them with clearance coupons. I want to buy new styles, too! If the original price is $10, then it should be priced $30~40 at max.

10. [+40, -0] Muji hoodies start from $15, it's too much.
