will girl's planet 999 be a commercial failure?

  • some of the girls actually piqued my interest so i've been looking into general reception of the show so far, but im noticing there is not much hubbub about this show in korea at all . its mostly international fans driving any hype the show has, which reminds me of how i-land was handled. im very interested to see how the final group does considering. i wish mnet would put it to rest after this but the group might see international success at debut in terms of sales at the least so i can already see a boy's planet 999 in the future. sigh.

  • Domestic popularity doesn't determine a group's success anymore, though. If mnet really cared that much they wouldn't have been adding Chinese and Japanese trainees so much. They are aiming for internation popularity.

    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 mean sure they don’t need to go anywhere and it’s not like they can anyways lol, but people kept saying how the group will be promoting physically in China and Japan when these current circumstances with covid and the ccp prevents that. 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? Guess Korean companies wanted foreign atm machines by including the Japanese and Chinese in the show like how other Korean companies are doing now with their own groups. If the group flops in Korea, there’s no way China and Japan are going to be able to hard carry it forever without Korea. Not how it works….

    you forget about kids

    you really think that 10, 12 or 14-15 year old kids won't vote because of some 'sentiments' of ahjussis and nationalists?

    Thing is, a lot of the smack knetz have to say about this show aren’t coming from kids and teens LOL Believe it or not, many kpop idol groups are supported by young adults who can afford to pay albums and go to concerts without asking mommy and daddy for money. Knetz who are boycotting this show over politics and what have you are most definitely not children.

    that was exactly my point

    ifans will buy albums

    kids will just watch mv, stream songs, and vote in music shows

    and that will be enough :)

    I'm not sure were you got your information of not being able to promote in Japan came from. You can travel there and just need to quarantine yourself for 2 weeks. NiziU and J01 have been doing it the last year and a half. There are still concerts though with reduced attendees still going on. One of the largest music festivals in Japan is taking place in Sept 18 and 19th with many foreign acts. It is more time consuming but still doable

    Them physically promoting in Japan is ultimately up to their company. I don’t think they’re going to be allowed to because I can’t think of any kpop group (that’s relevant) that physically went to Japan when covid got worse in 2020 till now to do activities. Everything was pre recorded and broadcasted live. Covid is worse in Japan than in Korea and has been for over a year. It would be so stupid to send them to Japan when they don’t have covid under control. Isn’t AAA 2021 getting flack by knetz for hosting it in Japan?

    Difference between niziu and jo1 with kpop groups is that they’re partially owned by Korean companies who do their mvs, photo shoots, and etc in Korea so they don’t have much of a choice if they want to put out the type of content they’re supposed to as a hybrid jpop and kpop group.

    There is a difference between "allowed" and "willing". Japan is doing worse than Korea right now no question. But Japan is allowing work visa's for music groups in Japan. However CV19 is also gaining ground even in Korea right now so to be honest it is kind of a no win scenario. Personally I don't think it is worth it for the 999 girls to travel anywhere as "more" money isn't worth your health as long as you can feed yourself. So while the new group can definitely promote in Japan I don't think they should. Hopefully enough of the Vaccines can be gotten to more countries to ease off on the new cases.

    When I meant allowed to, I meant on the group’s Korean companies behalf. I’m sure Japanese companies don’t gaf if Korean companies physically come to promote in Japan. It’s just that Korean companies simply don’t want to and for good reason hence why you don’t see any sending their groups to Japan. Technically, I wouldn’t be surprised if Korean companies pre record all of their group’s Japanese music show appearances and have the interviews live over a zoom type call even after covid is done. It’s just so convenient to not even waste time going all the way out there to be seen on tv for 4 mins tops unless they’re doing fan meets, concerts, and mini live events. That’s my personal opinion. Not trying to get attacked by kpoppies on here.
