Is There a Group Your Worried About? (1 Viewer)

[Areum]

This is going to sound weird but I'm personally worried about IVE.
I REALLY like them as a group and my personal bias is Liz.
BUT I watched their episode of Weekly Idol and noticed how the MC's seemed to mostly focus on Wooyoung and Yujin.
Before I watched this I stumbled upon this video:



I think some of the information in this video is a bit outdated.
You can read the comments and find out as well.
But the part about IVE is one I believe in all honesty.
I'm genuinely worried they'll just become Wonyoung/Yujin and friends.
Not to mention the girls really seemed like they were the center in Weekly Idol.
It felt awkward having the two tallest and most well-known members standing between the lesser-known members.
Like they were the centers.
After watching the episode it's clear the group is filled with talented girls.
But it just felt super awkward at the same time like it was centered on Wonyoung and Yujin.
(Please don't take this as hate I really like IVE and have no beef with Wonyoung & Yujin-I firmly believe the bias is from the company NOT the girls forcing it)​

Same I noticed that too. Also to me, (pls no hate) it seems like their company is trying to start a scandal just for a publicity stunt bc Wonyoung seems to be favored over screen time, hair, makeup, outfits, etc. I think the company is using her and Yujin for publicity
Other than IVE I'm worried about (G)I-DLE bc they haven't had a comeback in a year but I don't think they'll be disbanding bc the members are all active (Minnie and Shuhua in their home countries) but come on we're craving a (G)I-DLE comeback
Also Mamamoo seems to be more focused on their solo careers and Wheein's departure that they haven't had a comeback in a while

cravity bc a lot of their music is underproduced as hell and they deserve much better than theyre getting. i love them dearly so its sad to see their talent wasted on songs that i think are subpar. i want exy or jooheon to produce for them full-time bc i like their stuff for cravity

Ok I love fromis_9 so Imma fight. But I also love Nature.

but like...Talk & Talk fit fromis_9 so well.

At the end, it's no one's fault… the song belongs to the composer/song writer and they obviously sell the rights to the company who can afford it
It's sad for Nature bc they really deserve a proper comeback, but it's definitely also not fromis fault

Snsd Yoona was acting constantly from pre debut.
Taeyeon was doing monster ost's
multiple girls had radio shows.

no way the agency is walking away from the commercial money, the Pepsi and Innisfree deals will pay for the the entire run of the group most likely.
let alone Miu miu ect.

They will have to get creative and find a way to promote the other members.

Just think what Sakura and Chaewon will be like in big hits group. Although big hit has gone dark with em if it backfires we will see.
i am positive that is why Minju did not join em too, killing the momentum she has not is not worth maybe the group putting her back to where she is now.

That's still different. The girls literally promoted in a popular group for a couple of years whereas Yoona, Taeyeon, and the others did not. They were most likely doing those promotions to garner attention for their debut. That can't be said for Yuyjin & Wonyoung. Even if that money is being used to help take care of the group in the future we honestly don't know how that money is distributed behind the scenes. So it may not be doing much at all. For Yujin & Wonyoung it's them continuing to work off the fame from their previous group and not necessarily trying to garner attention for their soon to debut group.

I agree with this LOL

With IDLE it seems like the company and police are still trying to POSSIBLY clear Soojin's name so that might be why. Even though they came out saying she left the group I guess some news dropped saying she's still in the company and that things are still possible. So that might be why.

Rocket Punch and Elris due to lack if promotions, Cherry Bullet could be at risk too. They have the momentum from girls planet, but if their company doesn’t act on it soon, how long can they really hold that momentum?

I'm starting to get anxious because everyone keeps mentioning my babies.

They’re all my babies, but despite my love for them, looking at it from a logical standpoint companies need to start promoting the more while they still have the attraction. It pains me to make this observation

i am saying the agency is doing the right thing as best as they can, they have a responsibility to each member and the board. Yes it will be unequal because W & Y are already Stars, and very likely have a different deal than the other 4.
W & Y were is a crazy strong negotiation position, Chaewon walked away from Woollim maybe they could have walked too.

Starship picked 4 strong girls they are going to have to step up to the challenge though like the iz*one girls did with Sakura. The shows i have seen them on both do a good job of edifying the other members.

 

[RandAlThor]

All Rocket Punch have done since Ring Ring has been TikTok challenges (I unfollowed them on Instagram because they annoyed me so much)
I love the girls and their music, but Woollim aren’t a nugu company, but they have the feeling of one.

well and Juri's you tube stuff.

It's just going to make them be the center of the attention especially with all the style choices and more. That isn't the right thing to do at all that's just making the group Wonyoung and friends...

Knew there was something, but that’s still not a lot. I have a bad feeling Woollim as a company won’t be around much longer.

 

[eclipsoul]

laboum ngl i love them but their career as a group is on life support... they had a comeback but it didn't do that well considering their song journey to atlantis had a bit of the chart rise some time earlier and who knows if they'll have another one

Clc and Trcng

I think the styling thing is really exaggerating from some people… there were two instances were you could say Wooyoung stood out with her clothes



here is a stage mix and the only time Wooyoung really stood out was when she was wearing the pink dress
Otherwise I think they did a pretty good job

I also think the line distribution is pretty fair, compared to other groups

I've been worried about CLC for awhile, but I'm sure we all know that Cube just gave up on them and won't bother with promoting them again. That and with the lose of two members, I'm sure they'll announce a disbandment soon

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

Clc and Trcng

CLC disbanded??

Wait did they not disband?

Not officially, yujin said cube dismissed them. I’m delusionally hoping cube will see CLC’s potential and give a comeback with yujin debuting in kep1er. Like they did helicopter with yeeun on good girl.

And Trcng need a company to adopt them omg
