Real talk. Does anyone expect Queendom Puzzle group to even have 1/4th the success of Kep1er?

One of the best bsides from last year

we just gotta manifest flops because we really don't need more damn girl groups we seen enough they ain't bringing nothing new to the table they never gotta top old produce groups and clearly kep1er is on the struggle bus so I don't see why mnet thinks we need more of these flop shows.

The show had some buzz because people were speculating who's going to be on it.

But when the participants are revealed now, real talk there are a lot of nugu group idols who people never paid attention to anyway.

The biggest names on there are

• Lee Chaeyeon, a Produce group member who will be dropping out
• Yeeun CLC, but not like she's a huge name either, just a more recognisable name amongst international fans
• Yeoreum WJSN, midtier group with good songs, but herself is not like a huge draw either
• Kei Lovelyz, again similarly a recognisable name but not a huge draw.

The problem with these shows is that the big names that would actually make people tune in wouldnt participate in these shows in the first place because they always have better things to do. Just like how Lee Chaeyeon dipped the first second her song starts to gain some traction. To be honest Yeoreum and Kei would be better off continuing to do web-dramas and musicals, I dont even know why they're on this show at this stage in their careers.

Nah. There aren't any Japanese or Chinese members.

After P48, the bulk of physical sales for shows like this came from outside of Korea.

Very unlikely we are going to get a Wonyoung, Yujin, or Minju out of this show either since all of the contestants come from groups that have already under performed. Other than that girl from H1-Key, who honestly, they should be trying to follow-up the success of Rose Blossom rather than going on this show to be in a group that will probably not take off anyway.

Honestly, I can see this group selling decently. Maybe 100k, but I don't see them taking off. I'd love to be proven wrong though. I love a good underdog story.

I thought this show was just a little project group it's like the girls re:verse group or refund sisters. They're probably going to do 1 song a year
