Do you truly believe KIOF are over and will never have a hit again?

I don't think so. If their song is good they'll have another hit.

Their Korean charting is going to be completely unaffected

Internationally, they'll probably take a hit next comeback and recover a few comebacks later

Somewhat but I don't think they will continue to suffer from this. It happened, they lost international fans for sure, but people will forget and move on. I really think they'll be fine, and also I doubt domestic fans even care but might be wrong about that.

to be honest i'm more worried about their creative director leaving (for whatever reason ), since she also had so much impact in their music direction, than the 'n word' scandale . (for what it's worth ) in korea of course.

all they need is a gp friendly bop (specially for the summer) and they'll probably go high in the charts.

but for real, unless it's some criminal or outreagous kind of scandal that went viral in korea and was on the tv and such, the gp will give zero f*ck. it's just music after all. nobody really cares for that drama, they just wanna have good time. people's life are complicated enough .

and people are selfish too, as long as they feel good listening a song, they don't really care if other people get affected. one thing for sure, kiof have star factor and alot of potential. i don't see why they couldn't recreate a decent hit like last summer...

edit: sorry if i didn't spell the n word right, i never use it even in conversations so I didn't knew how to censor it appropriatly.

I don't think they took a hit in Korea, so it won't affect their charting. I think their bigger worry is if their new creative director can create good music and concepts.

They might be in trouble internationally but I am unsure how many fans they actually lost.

Overall, they should be fine in Korea but might struggle internationally.

I think they'll just stagnate

It's not like 5th gen has impressive numbers

Depends on the artistic direction and the production of their songs. Going by that livestream, their CD should be fired. I don't know if S2 still hires the producers from their previous songs, so we shall see.

Since when did Knets care about international fans lol! They’ll do as they always did in Korea it’s their international support that might take a dive

Just a word of genuine advice tatty, when trying to censor that word in a way that won't possibly still offend or trigger others, just say "n word" to avoid potentially ruffling any feathers

they had a hit song?

They might be in trouble internationally but I am unsure how many fans they actually lost.

According to data compiled by Kpop-Radar, they've lost 267,821 Instagram followers during the period fr‍om April 3rd to April 24th, so I suppose that gives us some idea.

People will move on if the song is good

Took me some time to figure out what group you was talking about. Have they ever had a "hit" and been a thing....?

Feels like more one of the groups you read about debuting, you hear some noice and they are gone in the fog and sometimes you hear some blip from them and they are disbanded after a couple of years.

I don't think they're over, but I doubt their comeback can chart top 10 (if you mean kcharts) since their creative director left the company. Only Sticky reached top 10, Igloo didn't even reach top 30 or 40 (?) on melon chart although it went viral.

Group that hasn't hit can't flop, they can only rise

Korea dont gaf obviously. They'll lose international fans who bought albums probably.

They were never chart demons anyway, highly overrated, although definitely better than almost all of the 4.75 or "fifth" gen who have generally flopped on the Kcharts exc for Illit (Baemon, Meow, Izna , Kiii, Heart, etc).

This question is kind of redundant, as they've never had a hit or charted in any of the places where they might have damaged their reputation. Have they even had a genuine Korean hit for that matter? Either way they won't care.
