It's been an amazing two years of Wizones being tenacious af in supporting their faves. But the honeymoon period has finally come to an end. I think Wizones have finally moved on after holding out for so long. After 12 or so comebacks among Yena, Yuri, Eunbi and Chaeyeon, the light of the Wizone has faded away into legend.
Now every Izone soloist will have to rise or fall on the strength of their own individual solo/akgae fanbases .
Yuri finished her first day sales with only 18k on Hanteo. I'm pretty sure she had over 40k during her previous releases. She might only end up selling 40k total on Hanteo after selling 60-75k before.
Eunbi finished her first week with only 19k sales on Hanteo, less than half of what she had previously done. She might only end up selling 25k total on Hanteo after selling 40-55k before.
I'm not particulary worried. The girls are literally everywhere, Eunbi got her first win, she is becoming more and more known among the general Kpop fanbase. Yuri will be a household name in 2024 when she stars in Squid Game.
But for those of us who are OT12, i think the Time of the Wizone has ended. For good this time.
