RE : Why had idle not blown up as much in SK even with a national hit?

? But they're popular tho? lol they've gone viral in sk, even during tomboy promos and soyeon was popular among the public even before..plus they have a solid fandom that is growing even more after tomboy..what is anon talking about

Quote from atropos

I wonder if they are talking about members popularity? Like miyeon released her solo but flopped? The blow up can be easily observed in their initial charting next comeback.

Miyeon solo didn't flop. It sold 100K+ copies.

Seoyeon is the member that blew up with the song and i think maybe Minnie (coz i see a lot of people talking about her).

On charts.

It did well enough for a solo. Did you expect it to do as well as TOMBOY? If so, it's quite idiotic.

It's flopped digitally, a national hit has ti give gp awareness if it doesn't do that it mean the public like the song not the group or the members

It released only a month after TOMBOY. TOMBOY hadn't earned its "national hit" title yet.

Who's doing great on charts as a solo artist from an idol group anyway? Not many. You guys sound like you're bitching about it for the sake of bitching.

How do kpop fans experts know Gidle as a group isn't more known and popular in Korea after tomboy LOL

Their next cb will tell us if they grew as a group or not.

They don't know solo in general will never do as well as full groups comebacks except for like Taeyeon and Sunmi ??

Watch these people expecting nayeon's solo to be as big as a twice hit song

Quote from atropos

Actually if the song is good and promoted well nayeon can catch a bigger song than twice did since feel special in Korea. But we'll see..

Also jennie, hwasa, sunmi have gotten hits as big as groups do or even bigger.

Right I forgot about jennie, but the difference is that she got a solo after their biggest hit and she is part of the biggest kpop girl group.

Miyeon's case is different.

Also hyuna or other solo

But nayeon won't get a hit like in Twice's peak, that's what I mean.

People will compare her to their biggest hit songs and it's unfair

True. But the worst is they use this argument to explain a so-called fact that remains to be demonstrated as true. How do we know a group hasn't blown up? What does that mean? What should we see that we're not seeing rn about IDLE?

They're the most sought after group for university festivals. They tripled their world tour Seoul date to meet the ticket demands. MY BAG, a b-side, is doing better than most title tracks. What more do these people need??

Kpop fans always talk like they are experts in every field, from charts, impact, to popularity lol they know everything.

Only gidle's next cb will tell us how high the hype will be and if tomboy played something in it

Quote from atropos

Yup. Top10 should happen easily in 24 hours after such a big song. If we go by aespa and brave girls around top5 may also be possible.

I doubt anyone will compare to say cheer up and tt especially as they happened so many years ago.

Anything will be used by kpop fans to drag someone but ofc I hope nayeon will do well!

We should all wait gidle's next cb if the song will get again a pak and have longevity. The thing is that it's hard to replicate the same success, it's like this for any gg

For some reason my response was totally looked over so I guess i'll just replicate it here.

I assume OP just doesn't follow them given that they're currently everywhere in SK.

• Soyeon, Minnie and Miyeon have a photoshoot or ad every other week
• Soyeon's just been on a tour of multiple major variety shows for the last month or so.
• Minnie's got the 3rd biggest 4th gen fancam of the year (it drops to 4th if you count other girl group cams)
• They're the 2nd most invited korean act for festivals (Second only to Psy)

Like I don't get OP's point unless they're talking something nebulous like constant Pann posts about Wonyoung.

they…literally have? what is that anon op on lol

if they’re expecting instant national gg status that’s ridiculous, gidle are doing very well for themselves and have become (or even solidified their position as) one of the most popular 4th gen ggs in korea
