8TURN has outsold BVNDIT in less than a month after debut (1 Viewer)

Let's send a massive congrats to my boys 8TURN





Also, lets not forget about the original MNH group BVNDIT. We wish you the best in your future endeavors. You guys will be missed T.T

Spoiler: Disclaimer

The data is lacking slightly on BVNDIT since most of their fan accounts have been deleted or changed into 8TURN accounts, but it looks like by most metrics that BVNDIT has been outsold by 8TURN or will be by their 1 month debut anniversary.

@fairyOfshampOO even though you and I already talked about this.

Expected since outside of 1 time in history boy groups have always been ahead of girl groups for album sales

I mean good for 8turn but it's also kind of sad to think about (how bvndit couldn't take off...).

Honesty not surprise, since one of the members was in i-land AND was gonna be a member of &team.
Like if you were gonna be like in a HYBE group in one point and then debuted in a group from smaller company, the chances with you and the group succeeding are pretty high even if you are in a nugu group ngl.

sigh i'm still grieving from bvndit disbandment. they had so much potential but mnh wasted all of them & i hate them for that!
still idk how they will survive with chungha is going to leave them soon.

If I'm looking at it from a business perspective, BVNDIT was probably hemorrhaging money and getting the members into further and further debt every single comeback with diminishing levels of success. Like it or not, MNH has to make a profit & distribute their resources to artists that are going to be successful and it makes sense why they decided to disband BNVDIT before debuting 8TURN.

On the how will they survive front, I suspect that they have been trying to manage their money quite carefully as a smaller company with Chungha (hence cutting their losses with BVNDIT), but their CEO has been in the industry for decades, so likely has his own finances tied up in the company along with investors. DR Music still manages to stay in business with whatever fumes left in their bank account.

hopefully its enough to survive. The agency is bleeding artists.
BAVDIT was one of the groups i saw at mcountdown , was still annoyed that lee Haeun from pd 48 wasnt in it.
