currently, any girl group that has less than 1m pre-order is a flop.
- anything around 500k+ pre-orders = they are nugus with intl fanbase.
- if they have less than 300k pre-orders, then they are struggling nugus who is riding the kpop wave.
- if your faves can't even break that 250k pre-order mark, then that's just embarrassing. why even bother coming back, should just disband at that point.
- if for some reason your faves have less than 200k, then it's a combination of them not being in the big 3, having no intl fanbase, their songs are bad hence the low spotify streams & youtube views, adding the fact that they are also a struggling nugus who is riding the kpop wave. just no luck all around.
with that being said, a 200k pre-order is not bad for the newly debuted girlgroups or the unpopular struggling nugu flops
if twice next comeback will have less than 1m pre-orders, then they will also be considered as just 'nugus with intl fanbase'. if their pre-orders go up instead, then the bar just went higher.
