That’s what I am saying. I mean you could argue that for one hit wonders locally (really big hit locally and in K-pop fandoms). But 5050 is doing something all companies been trying to achieve for generations. And it’s in their rookie year while they’re still young.
I dread to say this. But I agree with you
They have huge accomplishments even as one hit wonder, and i doubt they will stay a one hit wonder because like i said it multiple times their company seems to know their shit, every nugu company screw their groups because they don't know how to handle that new brought in fame, but not Fifty fifty company so far every move they have been doing is right hopefully they'll carry this way
True
For once you are right on something.
But one hit wonders dont last long. History is littered with one hit wonders that end up nowhere to be found.
To have a great career, you need longevity, stability, and a loyal and generous fandom. 99.9 percent of people listening to them couldnt even recognize them. That's not enough. I'd rather be a midtier group that can sell 400k-800k albums and at least have a fighting chance of retaining enough fans to remain in music for more than a few years. And the longer you survive, the more chances you have of gaining enough fame to go solo, to appear on variety, to go viral, or start your own YT channel that will give you steady reliable passive income that will sustain you for longer than your actual career.

An artist can still be a one hit wonder ans be remembered as legend eg: Gotye Somebody that i used to know, Aqua with Barbie Girl and many more

You're 180 wrong on this, history remembers one hit wonders more than it does artists who sell albums. I know who Aha are because of Take On Me and I don't know any other singer from Norway, let alone who was selling most albums. I know O-Zone but nothing else about Moldovan music scene.
Those 400-800k sales become 40-80k in 10 years, fans get old, move on. Meanwhile hit songs will go on to live for decades.
Have to agree with that, though financially "flops" like other groups - as you call them - are far financially better and stable. I hope Fifty Fifty can join them in the future.

40-80k in album sales is still 500k-1M per comeback. That's 1M-2M per year in gross revenue. 10 years in the business means you get more of the cut of album sales, so instead of only 10 percent, say you get 20 percent of the cut, that's 200-400k every year of almost guaranteed income. That's not including anything else your small but loyal fandom will buy religiously like your merch and niche celebrity endorsements.
And hit songs might go on for decades but how does that benefit the artist? Like you know who AHA is by name but 99.99 percent of people that know the song wouldnt even recognize them these days. Or even 10 years after their rise to fame. And it's most likely not you, the artist, benefiting from any streams either, it's the label and songwriters.
So you knowing the name "Aha" 40 years later benefits them how?
A loyal midsized fandom is worth 1000x more and is way more of a smarter investment than a one hit wonder song.
Any 4th gen group that isn't NJ, Ive, Aespa, LSFM or Gidle is a flop compared to Fifty Fifty.
itzy??
If they are earning enough from just streams then I hope so

With Warner backing them, I think they'll be fine, and seems like kpop stans are rooting for them after seeing their success. 
agree
I know O-Zone but nothing else about Moldovan music scene.
Seriously you know O-Zone but don't know this legend?
About A-ha, a BTS commercial used it
If anyone cares to see how the vocalist of Aha is doing, here
Moral: If an act is a one-hitter, there is a reason for it.
