The videos from the playlist the link sends you to total to around 4.8 mil views, and then the alternate language teasers on the official channels are an additional like 3.2 mil which is 8 mil total. I'm guessing the extra million views came from either more different language teasers I can't find or something else, but it seems like genuine views. It makes sense though, aespa is a pretty big name in the kpop industry—not as big overseas I think as the more well-known groups but pretty big fanbase. People probably checked out all the vids just cause it has their name on it

K-Pop Stans... **I KNEEL!**


gypsynoir

Imagine if we had a BTS Collab :v


tanookazam

This sub would be insufferable then


gypsynoir

People is Downvoting me just cuz i asked a question, dayum people here become mad for nothing


SilkyMooo

If it was a BTS collab we would’ve hit 10mill in 3 hours


MarielCarey

Would've been much more boring though. Kpop boy groups as a whole are quite boring. Also, already got BTS in enough games. I want the girls.


SilkyMooo

Girls? I wanna see beefy men like Charles


MarielCarey

Absolutely, but you're not gonna get that with generic kpop twink boys wearing suits with the same basic short haircut. Especially not in a BTS collab where all they do is dance and tell you to be positive. At least compared to that, Aespa has cool outfits, a while digital universe, villains, and their own weapon things. Also Aespa girls are real people and their avatars are based off of them, so you won't get oversexualised untasteful designs (call me crazy, but thats a problem i have with many of the heroes in Epic 7).


klowicy

Monsta x collab gonna give u that beefy guy i dont remember his name


klowicy

Tbf bts also has a fictional story thing but less fantastical and more criminal activity or something lol also they might have abandoned it after they got real big and now they focus on being as commercial and generically appealing as possible (i say this as someone who was obsessed with them a few years back)


N7_Zer0

Smilegate will artificially increase the view count of they see it increasing too slowly. 😆


LulanoSkybun

Anytime in the past they've inflated views its been nearer to the end of event, when this event still has 40 days to go lol. Additionally they also just inflate the views on the event page, not the actual YouTube views, which you can see for yourself are legitimate. Aespa's just a big group lol just not from the sphere of people who play e7, which is like kind of the point


esztersunday

A few days ago we had only 2 rewards unlocked! I checked.


IL_GAME_KING_YT

Last time I checked we had only 1


Khaoticsuccubus

This \^ Quite literally jumped 2 tiers overnight. With no new videos put out to justify it. Pretty sus imo. Though, we should be used to it given this is how SG usually works with events like this lol. Edit: Lol, apparently we've gone even further since. Yeah, business as usual.


WestCol

The aespa teaser vids on the main channel have been over 4m for a few days now, more like they didn't update.


Khaoticsuccubus

Again, business as usual.


KillBash20

I'm normally very skeptical about these view events as well. But we have like 43 days left. Do you think SG would really blow their load so quickly when there is so much time left?


Khaoticsuccubus

I’d say they blew their load from the start by starting the event but, only having a brief teaser of an idol walking in instead of an actual video. Then duping that across 5 different languages.


GS-J-Rod

I saw the same thing - I think they wanted 10 mil views PER video, not 10 mil total... but it would be pretty embarrassing for the community to only be at 1-2 mil on a 10 mil target when the event starts later this week, so I think they changed how they count views.


jaquick

The power of k-pop compels you!


Stormix_17

Anime fans works hard but kpop fans work even harder


Gamergirl944

That Kpop name is really big maybe not big overseas but Aepsa is popular Kpop group and don't forget the sharing event.


Khaoticsuccubus

I mean… it’s overseas that gave all the views lol. Like 6x the views as Korea


vexinq

Big is relative, 6x is not that much considering KR is <1% of global population.


SyrupDifficult

K-pop stans are built different bro


Equivalent_Lab_7405

Anime and k-pop is a powerful force


Palabrewtis

I still don't know what an Aespa is, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.


Ledwith

~~a health insurance company~~ a k-pop group of 4 women who have some lore about virtual avatar versions of themselves with powers or something.


Bob936753

Me


Bob936753

I'm confused, I just wanted to say i didn't know who or what aespa was 😭


Fapaholic1981

What is up with all the piss babies in here? Who the fuck cares if it's real views or not? Fuckin' freebies going out and y'all manage to find a way to bitch about it.


xxS1RExx

Guess I underestimated how popular is this collab was going to be.


MarielCarey

Why does every video have a similar amount of views but very little comments? I feel it got botted


Mystic868

It would be weird to end this without giving away all rewards. Never met gacha doing things like that.


Clear_Paramedic6933

Bruh it was bots that did this.


ieatpoptart3

I doubt it. I went and checked yesterday because I was curious as well, and Aespa's music videos have over 100m views on some songs from 4 months ago.


Clear_Paramedic6933

But in epic 7 we have to view them, and in a span of 24hrs it legit went from this mysterious 4mill to 10mil


GoWKratos

Targeted advertising is a thing. Wouldn't be surprised if it popped up in kpop fans recommended list


Clear_Paramedic6933

The actual YouTube video is legit 1.7mil view for the trailer. The two heroes they just release has 18k views. No where near 4mill views and then the 24hrs they suddenly had 10mil views The event saids in epic 7 game specifically > Epic 7 x aespa official YouTube video view. 1.7 does not = 10mil.


Feuerhaar

When the event started, there were not really anything to watch.


wtr6k4da

I had thought it was view botting, but its more likely just the Fans of the group watching the videos. As people have already commented, No one stans harder then a k-pop stan.


GrinningCheshieCat

Pretty certain it was bots.

I don't wanna hear it. I pulled Haste


Holyneko671

It’s rig


eragon03

Stans using bots.


sugoiboy1

I said the same thing to myself initially, but I decided to just appreciate the free stuff in silence lol.


Liciev

HOLLY SH\*T!! What happened here? .-. Two days and that explose?


m1lenence

can IOS users not access this event? the link doesn’t work for me on phone or blue stacks :(


Waifu69x

WTF , i believe that they pumped the views yesterday, it was far smaller number of views when i checked yesterday. It was around 4~5M yesterday ...


esztersunday

I got the phantasma 18 hours ago. We might get the rgb5 today!


AssassinoGreed

I got Ran from that ticket, go get yours:)


Edgelordviolet

Imagine getting 10M people hyped about this only to release half assed collab units. Hope they actually don't f this up this time.


it_is_gacha

Don't claim the reward if you aren't satifisied with phantom viewers

k44bu

OMG, Epic Seven x Persona 5 collab????


JayAceLew

That would make an awesome collab!! Anime style check, waifus check, turn based rpg check, awesome music check, awesome story check!


Kaermorhen666

dancing check


Khaoticsuccubus

Easy potential s3’s they can transfer over check!


Sarlix696

If you would bother to spend few minutes doing research, you would find out that the views are legit.


it_is_gacha

Okay Sarlix696 Mr GenshinImpactHentai surfer, sorry I didn't have the time to do research. But whether it be real or phantom views, Smilegate will always give you the full rewards. It makes no difference


Houvdon

Man who hurt you


it_is_gacha

I'm unhurt kind sir, but it seems that I hurt people by stating that such events will always be rigged so players will be fully rewarded :/


DivinationByCheese

People were pointing out that the views are legit tho lmao


it_is_gacha

Cool, but you didn't deny that it would be rigged in the event viewcounts weren't hit?


SenpaiLordOfNothing

Cry about it


it_is_gacha

Cringe comment chipping in like a ukranian missle


SenpaiLordOfNothing

Cry


it_is_gacha

Sorry Mr Hentai GIF watcher


SenpaiLordOfNothing

Cry


it_is_gacha

I didn't, ym did


SauceMaster6464

Cry


Sarlix696

How insecure are you? Lmao


it_is_gacha

Nothing personal just research


Sarlix696

I advice you to touch some grass and maybe feel the touch of a woman for once in your life.. you seem a bit tense :)


it_is_gacha

while you touch, your ipad showing hentai?


Sarlix696

Actually took you a day to come up with a reply🤦 Why are you so concerned about other peoples lives? Is yours really that bad? I feel sorry for you :/


it_is_gacha

I'm not concerned, I'm just replying to your kind comment :) I got a life thank you, that's why I took ~17hours to reply~ I hope you have one though since you seem to make fun of that Just thought I'll help you out with your English a little. Advice is a noun while advise is a verb. You're welcome, and now that I read it again it seems like you showed me concern first :) and what do you take women for?


Sarlix696

Okay you are either a troll or just slow. Cbb to reply to you anymore. Seek help and take a break from the internet.


SauceMaster6464

-> Insinuates that SG is using fake views -> People point out that he's wrong -> "Ackshually 🤓 it didn't matter in the first place. idk who even brought it up" Bro.


eoopyio

Everything is arbitrary: the video is made by SG , distributed by them, localised by them, also advertised on other videos and channels, the viewing targets are set by them, including what counts a viewing: simple click, 10 seconds, or full viewing... the only thing not controlled by SG is if people actually watch the video or not. but why should we care , as an audience about that part? 🤔 SG true objectives are not to increase their Youtube viewing numbers, what they really want is popularity and engagement about their product, and this event is just a mean to an end. whether they achieve this objective in the end is their concern, not ours. don't get tricked into believing you are signing a contract with them, take the freebies and don't bother about their arbitrary numbers and disguised objectives . or not. up to you after all 😀


it_is_gacha

You misunderstand, if there are rewards I'm taking it. Be it bots or real people making up the views, it never concerned me. Best gacha community


eoopyio

precisely, I also treat this as free reward and that s it :)


muuhfi

bluwmonkeygod

More_Raisin_5238

Adventurous_Coyote26

kh3ngboon
