Im really scared for weeekly

I have been getting into them after the release of afterschool and they are probably my favourite gg right now and soeun is favourite member in the group. I enjoy watching their variety content a lot and they are fun group, the weeemergency series is quite fun if you guys wanna check their variety content.

They were the rookie of year of 2020 and had a viral hit after-school in early 2021 but after all that they still don't have a strong fanbase, they only have less than 300k subscribers on youtube which is surprisingly low. After holiday party failed to replicate after school's success they switched the concept but it also failed to be successful.

Im very scared that playM/1ST (or whatever the new name of their company is) will give up on them, the promotional activities they for venpara was seriously low, they don't even get sent to attend popular variety shows like weekly idol which even less popular group than weeekly have been to, the amount of effort their company put to promote them was way too low. The contents they have released in this comeback have also been significantly low and this past one month & half has been completely dry tbh.

Now it feels their company is just trying to milk as much out of weeekly as they can with fanmeets and small scale concert/radio show attendence.

Their company can't even provide quick english subtitles when posting content on weeekly's youtube channel and it takes them a week or even more to do that which turn's off so many international fans. And there's no sub for vlives at all. Eng subbing is such a basic and important thing which that their company doesn't even provide. Weeekly could have been built a strong international fanbase if their company was competent enough to properly utilise the after school's viral success.

Stanning nugu groups is so hard

It's really sad and they deserve better, but I thought their sales improved with their latest cb?

If i remember correctly they sold 60k ( edit: 80k )this comeback but it ain't much since they don't have anything else at all no good charting or views/streams (excluding after school)

They sold 83,189 based by wikipedia

Weren't apink sales quite decent for a non big3 gg in 2nd gen? Highest is at 90k iirc

Yea but the main difference between apink and weeekly is that while apink didn't had very huge sales but they were quite successful in charts and had multiple popular songs in korea which weeekly lacks. The situation of weeekly and apink is significantly different and not comparable.

That's a pity. Don't they have an IU card from the time they were Fave girls?

a lot of their more than 2 years of pre debut fave girls era content is gone, made private by the company because a lot of fave girls trainees didn't made it to final group. I tried looking for their fave girl era contents but found very less. The interaction between them and iu i could find was basically just few minutes of them saying hi hello to each other in a music show behind . The company doesn't even sends them to the variety of iu (iu pallete or something) to promote their songs.

Yeah.... But that's still not the best selling album.

Also apink had popular members like naeun and eunji.

The concept change was random. I wonder how it'll turn out eventually.

This sudden girl crush concept change wasn't that bad but it seems most people didn't liked the change including fans. Personally i felt some members did do well in this concept like soeun, monday and soojin, zoa did ok but it didn't suit jaehee, jihan at all
