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.
