Baby Kara was amazing, but then DSP decided to debut all new girls (except Chaewon) when the ones they shown on the show were already gaining popularity.
Just to dig this post up from earlier today; The Boys did sell 600k.
Your logic is flawed & your receipts are wrong.
This 107k in Japan doesn't include sales of the repackage album Mr. Taxi, where it charted on the DVD charts instead of the Albums chart (it had a DVD with music videos in addition to the CD).
SNSD's Hoot album was also distributed by Universal Music in Japan, just like The Boys was.
It sold 171,294 on Oricon and only 192,375 on Gaon.
By your methods, that means the Hoot mini album (a Korean album, at that) sold 171,294 copies in Japan and only 21,081 copies in the rest of the world.
DSP should just dump Youngji, Shiyoon AND Kasper in April and pray for the best.
They all have some kind of popularity to their name so it wouldn't be their worst business decision lately

April might come back with an undetermined number of new members. Minimum is 5 as Chaekyung is confirmed. It's a '5' or '5+α' comeback. THEY BETTER BE SEVEN.
