An absolutely INSANE take.
Replying to @m1ngm1ng1
International STAYs blame Kfans, being a STAY in Korea makes you look like an idiot and Division 1 does nothing for KSTAYs. Srsly what Korean in their right mind would even want to stan a group like this?
No wonder SKZ are falling so far behind other 4th-gen boy groups in Korea

This narrative that SKZ won't survive military enlistment without K-Stays support is complete nonsense. I-Stays DO and HAVE ALWAYS carried SKZ's success without proper support from the company, the industry or their domestic fanbase. And we will continue to do so through and after enlistment.
SKZ has never had good promo, either domestically or internationally. And yet, the international fanbase has continued to grow and grow, with a dedication that is unmatched and not fraught with constant threats of leaving SKZ over every dissatisfaction.

Honestly, an interesting read. While it is always nice to see new fan bases pop up trying to support SKZ, STAYs always need to be a bit wary until they've established themselves and earned trust within the fandom - ESPECIALLY when it comes to money. There are so many baby STAYs in the fandom these days, and their lack of knowledge makes them an easy target for this type of thing because they are excited and want to help.
EXPOSING @SKZVoteSTAYtion
After the FBs posts about voting, I noticed the hate started from the same few familiar accts. The accts are admins of the same voting team and their followers. then i found proof that they told their gcs to boost posts that targetted bases.
When Stays don't engage with our fan bases and help spread their work... it hurts the entire fandom.
Strong fandoms VALUE their bases.
And when they don't, it shows up in the results. If you want more Stays to access important information, YOU have to help get it out there.
STAYs:
“We need fanbases on other platforms. Twitter isn’t enough anymore.”
“Why isn’t anyone talking about voting and streaming on other platforms?”
“Information just isn’t available on Instagram and TikTok where STAYs are more active.”
“YouTube STAYs need fanbase guidance on how to stream.”
“We need a fandom space where ALL the information is available in one place.”
Etc. etc. etc. 😭
OUR TEAM: Oh, um… hello? 😭 StrayKidsComebackGuide.com exists. We promise.
We have an entire website dedicated to explaining streaming, voting, charts, music shows, comeback preparation and pretty much every other “how does this work?” question we can think of.
Our homepage even has daily updates on which votes are currently the priority AND updated focus playlists for 5 different streaming platforms that STAYs can literally just click and start using.
And because apparently an entire website wasn’t enough 😭, we also post this information DAILY across X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, Bluesky AND YouTube so STAYs can access it on whichever platform they actually use. We put out quick bitesize graphics for everything on top of full detailed breakdowns on the site. Seriously we have hundreds of graphics we post on all those platforms and update with so much voting and streaming info.
If THAT still isn’t enough, the only solution we have left is for our Admins to start going door-to-door with printed copies of the guides. 😭😂
But seriously — StrayKidsComebackGuide.com.
Helping STAYs understand how to support Stray Kids is quite literally the entire reason we exist. 🫶
Plan to take the Live vote, STAY.
✅ [final] 260822 - MUSIC CORE
#ATEEZ and 2 of #StrayKids, #KiiiKiii or #Hearts2Hearts could get nominated.
If they are nominated, need to win all 3 upcoming Live votings by a huge gap + hope for high enough Broadcast and V.C. scores. Good luck to all.

If we want to quit losing music shows, this is the best way to achieve it. We need higher digitals!
‼️ LAST CALL FOR SECOND WEEK DONATIONS ‼️
Our chances of winning next week are still at risk and we BADLY NEED YOUR HELP. 😭
To boost our digital points and improve our ranking on KR charts, please donate through bit.ly/SKZ-DONATE-THISANDTHA… or help by sharing this post and encouraging more STAYs to stream on KR platforms.
Every donation, stream, share and RT can make a difference. Let’s push until the very end and give Stray Kids the wins they deserve! 🫶🏻
#THIS_AND_THAT
THIS ----> "We cannot have millions of people celebrating achievements after they happen while only a fraction of the fandom is doing the work required to achieve them, working STAYs. Fanbases, voting teams and streaming teams are burning out."
🚨 IF STAYs THINK MUSIC SHOWS ARE NO LONGER IMPORTANT, LET'S PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
If Stray Kids do not secure a Music Show win this comeback, this will be the first era since God's Menu that they have gone an entire comeback without a single Music Show win.
This is not something the fandom should be brushing off. Yes, VOTING IS CRUCIAL. We have already lost votes this comeback that we needed to win. But voting alone cannot carry us.
DIGITALS hold the most weight in the criteria for every Music Show, and based on the numbers being reported by Korean streaming teams and the current Music Show predictions, this fandom needs to start doing better — NOW.
Despite everything Stray Kids have accomplished throughout their career, they have only won Music Core ONCE. So stop arguing about what is enough to call yourself a STAY or not and understand what is at stake.
STREAMING MATTERS.
VOTING MATTERS.
PARTICIPATION MATTERS.
We cannot have millions of people celebrating achievements after they happen while only a fraction of the fandom is doing the work required to achieve them, working STAYs. Fanbases, voting teams and streaming teams are burning out.
If STAYs want wins to celebrate, then STAYs need to participate in earning them.
Because at this point, those who are only here when there is an achievement to quote, repost, and celebrate for clout may find themselves with nothing to celebrate this comeback.
Stray Kids are doing their part, STAYs need to stop making excuses and need to start doing their part as well.
JYPE, PLEASE ADDRESS THE DISTRIBUTION & PLATFORM ISSUES AFFECTING STRAY KIDS THIS & THAT COMEBACK.

📢 STAY, WE NEED YOUR HELP — MASS TAG JYPE
JYPE, please urgently investigate the multiple issues affecting Stray Kids’ THIS & THAT comeback.
At this point, STAYs are seeing repeated platform, distribution, availability, and reporting problems across several major services. Any one issue could be a technical error or delay, but this many issues occurring during the same comeback requires immediate investigation and escalation.
Current issues include:
❗ SPOTIFY STREAM REPORTING
Many STAYs are reporting Spotify streams that do not appear to be registering properly based on their listening histories and other available data. We are asking JYPE and the distribution team to investigate whether streams are being properly reported and counted.
❗ THIS & THAT M/V MISSING FROM SPOTIFY
The “THIS & THAT” Music Video is still unavailable on Spotify. This removes an additional legitimate streaming option for fans and potential streams that could contribute toward Billboard charting.
❗ YOUTUBE DAILY MUSIC VIDEO CHARTS
“THIS & THAT” has surpassed 60M views in four days and trended #1 worldwide for multiple days, yet it has not appeared on YouTube’s Daily Top Music Videos charts globally or regionally. We are asking JYPE to escalate this with YouTube and investigate its chart eligibility/reporting.
❗ DIGITAL REMIXES MISSING FROM STORES
The digital remixes are still completely unavailable for purchase through Amazon Music and 7Digital, eliminating major purchasing options for fans who are actively trying to support the release.
❗ STATIONHEAD AVAILABILITY
The versions are also missing from Stationhead, further limiting legitimate purchasing and streaming support.
❗ ITUNES / APPLE MUSIC RELEASE ISSUES
Following the original release, STAYs across multiple regions reported being unable to access or purchase the THIS & THAT album through iTunes/Apple Music for several hours.
These are not simply inconveniences. Distribution delays, missing releases, reporting problems, and platform availability can directly affect sales, streams, visibility, chart performance, and comeback momentum.
STAYs are doing everything we can to support Stray Kids. We need JYPE, DIV1, and the distribution teams to ensure that our support actually has the opportunity to count.
We are asking for an URGENT REVIEW of distribution availability, platform reporting, and chart eligibility involving Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music, 7Digital, Stationhead, Apple Music, and iTunes.
‼️Please MASS TAG JYPE and respectfully demand that these issues be investigated and corrected.
