I really wish the former Cube CEO would take Chowon with him and debut her in Kiss Of Life

can you imagine how big lightsum could have been if say chowon made it to izone

Unfortunately, Chowon has suffered from massive strokes of bad luck or misfortune.

If PD48 had been a year sooner of (G)I-dle debuted a year later, Chowon could have joined (G)I-dle, she would have fit the group and concepts like a glove and as a power maknae, with her distinctive vocals and strong stage presence, would have certainly contributed significantly to the group.

But she missed that boat.

Additionally, the corrupt PDs singled her out to make room for the bribed and paid-for candidates that were added to IZ*One, and this has massively veered her career off course onto another, and unfortunately far less successful, path.

If you see how the IZ*One members that were the likeliest to have been added due to the PD's corruption, have enjoyed either being in 2 very successful groups or have successful solo projects, then it's certainly very unfortunate that Chowon could have had this, but didn't.

This is unfortunate in multiple ways for her.

I think she has the uniqueness and talents that could have made her one of the big ones - but fate intervened, leaving most of her potential unused and neglected.

Technically she did make it to Izone. She just got rigged out.

I think Chowon bristles at similar descriptions of her circmstances. There's a video somewhere.

I just dont see it with her. She's not a cant miss talent, the way folks were hyping her up back when she was mentioned as one of the girls rigged out, i expected literal Beyonce and Michael Jackson wrapped into one idol. She's talented and has a distinctive look, but i'm not sure she would have fit in Izone's elegant/cutesy image.

hell nah lmaoooo

You are saying this just because you already stan izone and hence already biased towards liking the members, if she was a part of izone from get go instead of rigged members chaewon or yuri, you would similarly be simping for chowon instead. "She wouldn't suit the izone image" is just a stupid filler excuse used by fans to try to justify and cope with the rigging.

Quote from Dreamer95

These mofos are wasting my girl with this tragic group

She'd fit so perfectly in KOF imo

I think more about Lightsum flopping than about Twice flopping

Words of wisdom from Dreamer. Chowon is such amazing, super talented all-rounder, she can do everything. Girl pulled out the unlucky ticket twice. Justice for Chowon

It was a stopgap measure to prepare against the end of gidle

In the end gidle survived by cutting Soojin so LS no longer had any reason to exist

It debuted 2 people who did not belong to there, showing it was built with no preparation

Post Hoc Fallacy.

If Chowon was in the group, and let's say we're talkng about someone else, you'd flip your argument.

That goes for every person with that line of thought. You can't decouple your subconscious bias that a person in the group belongs in that group. Not a criticism - it's a common problem for almost all people (myself included). You'd see them perform for 3 years and go 'well duh they belong there' and people who aren't in there you'd struggle to fit.

Statements of this nature are simply pointless.

The group had Hyewon, when she’s basically a dozen. Chowon is pretty, talented and charismatic how she does not fit Izone. It’s like they were that group please.

I hate it when Idols keep on getting in no matter what they do, Chowon is a great idol Cuba should have debuted her solo

Well, this is the same guy who still wishes Somi was in Twice.

So, idk.

Sucks for Chowon.

It's sad because Lightsum actually had a decent start.

This was right before GG's started having such crazy numbers, and Lightsum debuted with like 40k, which was a decent amount for a non-Big 3 group at the time (and like 7 times what CLC and most nugu groups debut with). They were on their way to becoming a solid mid-tier group.

I have no idea what happened between their debut and now. They should have been gaining fans. Not losing them.
