Thread title is the discussion.
What artist or group do you think is good, but is being held back by their company and marketing?

Spoiler

@Boy Group @Girl Group

FNC groups like SF9 P1Harmony
Golden Child
VICTON

I just think they should have more since I rarely ever see them on shows or something, though it's gotten better lately for Victon since Produce.

I have to say, this was inspired by me seeing @Tickita's OnlyOneOf post. They have so much potential, their music is really good, but 8D Creative has absolutely lost the plot. First it was their "dating" show, and the whole gimmick that they would be allowed to date. That was super cringey to watch. Then I saw that they recently tried to pull another marketing stunt where if you pre-ordered the 7 CD set of their upcoming album, Instinct Pt. 1, you'd get a "semi-nude poster" and I facepalmed so hard I gave myself a headache.



Not only that, but whatever happened with Mill being suspended for breaking a rule & then coming back with a shaved head was more than a little bit suspect. Don't think that was ever explained fully, either. It's pretty obvious they're pushing hard for International interest, but it's coming off as trying too hard, at least in my opinion.

My apologies to their marketing team, but please get a focus group or something.

Yeah, they definitely come to mind. Is Daewang still hidden under that mascot head?

yes

She deserves better.

She deserves better.

although i dislike the mask i think the reason daewang wears the mask is because she's shy about her face.

I mean, it would at least be nice if they didn't encase her whole head, it can't be pleasant to perform in that. If she's shy, that's one thing, but wasn't part of the gimmick that she'd be revealed at some point, after their first win?

I think CLC is the poster child of group failed by their company

Well that's better than the giant mascot head for sure! I just wonder what their company is doing to them, haven't they already lost multiple members to health problems?

Yeah, CLC definitely got shafted. Has there even been any news on them since Elkie left?

Eunbin got booked in a drama but that's about it.
Hopefully there's a goodbye single or something but I don't have much hope for them

Man, that sucks, and not even Elkie leaving and calling attention to it changed things. Their company is trash.

Makes me wonder what goes on behind the scenes.

Oh man, I remember them. Didn't their social media get hacked and then they were (and still are) trying to get out of their company?
