Triple S Unit Disbanding for Not Selling 100k?!

    Quote from keyboardwarrior7

    Yes, I get that. I'm just wondering how any of these units are supposed to gain fans if they are not consistently promoting.


    The only way I can see that happening is if Triple S as a whole somehow blows up or one of the members becomes an IT girl and gains a crazy fanbase. Other than that, I can't see how a rotating group with no real fixed subunits will be able to gain a solid fanbase.

    It's a harder sell in Korea because people get too invested in the members, but these types of groups have been popular in Japan for ages. Morning Musume for instances has several random subunits that only releases one or two songs. They've been going strong for 25 years now.

    This Jaden guy main goal is to ruin groups he almost ruined loona with his crazy antics and destroyed Only one of and now he's back with Triple s, he thinks buy pulling this tactic of 100k sales people will have petty on the group and starts buying their album but this is not way to gain faithful long lasting fans

    Honestly, I don't know how he keeps convincing people to invest in his ideas.


    Like, his ideas are interesting, and even as a non-fan, he gets me talking about his groups. But his ideas also seem like they cost A LOT of fucking money, lmao. And, they seem to take awhile to bare fruit. So, I have no idea how he managed to convince people to have a nugu group with 20+ members that also has no fixed units.

    Yes. I don't think the idea by itself is terrible. It's just that we see what happened with LOONA. He did a really cool concept that cost A LOT of money, and apparently the members are still paying some of that back (maybe or maybe not who knows with BBC).


    Like, I think this idea would be cool with Big 4 level of interest and investment. I'm less convinced for an unknown group with unknown members. How many years would it take this to get off the ground? And what is happening with the group members as those years go by?

    He's ideas are really great I mean he was doing lors before it was popular and their concept was really creative but this type of ideas can only be executed with the big4 i mean look how crazy the NCT concept is and everybody was doubtful if it success but because they are part of the big4 they ended up succeeding

    how do you mean that he ruined them, you mean like by suddenly leaving them and moving on to another project ?


    (for Loona he said he left because he wasn't given the freedom to execute the rest of his creative plan, idk about OOO)

    Edit: can't find post about him not with OOO anymore so ig still with them

    Apparently, the concept of constantly rotating units was always the plan. The only way to get a fixed group is by selling 100k, but the members will be back for other units. If you want more information on the concept, this thread did a great job of helping me understand.

    OHH I see. Very insightful. That makes so much more sense now.

    It was a little confusing at first so this clears most of it up.


    So basically the subunit itself didn't need to sell 100k but the total of subunits has to sell 100k in order to make it into a solid group? Kind of creative and confusing at the same time, if you ask me. This will pretty much ensure that this group has a fanbase before actually making it happen.

    Saying it’s messed up when no one bought one of their album lol. Anyway the unit disbands not the girl they can rotate anyway until the unit hits 100k sales moving wrong with it, it’s better than group being in the dungeon because they don’t meet a certain success

    Lmao, either way, some members will be in the dungeon. Only 1 unit will promote at a time. There are 24 girls in the group, and there is no guarantee when or if you'll be voted back into a unit.

    No, 1 unit has to sell 100k to become a permanent unit. If your unit does not sell 100k then you can get voted into a different unit if fans like you and want to see more of you.


    AAA (the unit this is referring to) has disbanded, and now the girls will join different units if the fans decide to vote them into a unit.
