will girl's planet 999 be a commercial failure?

I'm actually glad Korea is done with the survival show hype. Those shows had good ideas but horrible execution. Even the Unit, which was like a dream come true, was a hot mess of a show.

But I agree with people above. They're not aiming for Korea, they're aiming for the Japanese AND Chinese markets which will make them more money than Korea ever could.

If the show got chilling interest in Korea, whose comments Knetizen kept translating? Even if the commenters kept talking "Mnet rigs", they cared enough to clicked open the article and left/liked comments.

Also, the GP999 room on DC Inside seemed to be very active.

I mean in order for the group to not be a failure, Koreans needs to be really interested in it which they probably won’t be due to the Chinese that are present and not wanting to deal with mnet. Korea is where majority of the relevant achievements are going to be made as well as activities will be done. They ain’t doing anything in China (hallyuban) and Japan won’t be over covid by the start of 2022 😂

I don't think platinum sellers like NCT and Enhypen are failure.

CCP only bans Korean entertainers or Yuqi have not been on multiple Chinese shows.

Plus without Korean support which people constantly switch from undermining to valuing (never really overvalued), who’s voting for them on music shows? Who’s going to stream their music on Korean charts? Who’s going to get them enough Korean achievements to make it to Korean award shows?

Melon has opened up to foreigners, right? If the sale is good enough, the group will at very least win bongsang from GAON or Melon. And, MAMA so as AAA exist.
