I feel like listening to Pink Tape now versus listening to Pink Tape when it came out are very different experiences. K-pop changed so much between 2012 and now, especially with SM, and Pink Tape was right on the cusp of that so hearing it when it came out, before Exodus, Ex'act, Red Light, 4 Walls, Press It, etc. not to mention YG stuff was just...it was a lot more outstanding at the time than it is now. Which isn't to say it isn't still a great album, but that the industry has improved as a whole which is great.
His Korean album sold more than even Taeyeon, which is massive.
His Japanese album sold 38,490 copies first day with just 4 songs and prices of $25.11 and $31.42.
The rest of the group is old and dusty and has to enlist soon so Taemin it is for the couple of years they can milk a bit of coins... Rough Translation, but it's the sad reality for SM team's mind.

That poster is so tragic but Bulldok/Hanhae/Bambino are having a gig in China August 12. With KittiB & Dj Kisoo (a full Korean gig)... So they're still fine.

Y'all better support Rap Legend in her future endeavors
