5050 probably will never recreate Cupid success anymore in their career but in different timeline right now, they surely will have steady growing fanbase. Honestly it's so obvious that they were 100% guarantee gonna left the nugudom and at least be on par with StayC, fanbase and success wise.
They have good album and good songs. Outside of Cupid, all their songs are definitely easy listening and quite catchy. Cupid supposed to open new door for people to explore their other songs and stuffs if these lawsuit issues never happened.
Promotion wise, all their debut songs come with mv. They have interesting contents in yt, they have deals with Barbie, they supposed to get a lot of cfs offers, their ceo already planned their promotion schedule in America and their company seems to have clear direction to exp
A lot of people clearly interested in them. Their YouTube contents, outside of Cupid mv has really good number even reach hundreds thousands of views and actually on par with other current 4th gen gg views for their regular contents. Their subscribers number is already really close to StayC. Their sales also rose from 7k for their first album to 37k just after 3 months cb. They have real hype outside of Cupid.
What a shame that all these opportunities gone because of a lawsuit. They gonna be another inspiration for a lot of new idols yet now nobody want to be like them.
