Kpop is really cruel

i remember that hyunseung was the most famous sololist and most famous member in beast together with the 'mighty ' sexual force from hyuna 4 min

Now that he makes a comeback- it is like he never existed

Wut?

Big thing wouldn't be good thing all the time

This is why poor ppl getting more poor and rich ppl getting more rich

Quote from peachyjoon

we don't stan fame/money, but you actually gotta know about the person to acknowledge them, so ofc the person needs some kind of fame to appear on people's sight

i became a kpop fan in late 2018 and i am deeply involved in the industry, but i don't recognize his name

he is very famous duh

lmao

Quote from PeachPig

but its not different for western artists, so many try comebacks after their prime and fail miserably

but ppl still remember their name at least

Quote from MrAkimo123

I think it is the same around the world. Tbh, Beast is a group known to the public as not fandom-oriented. I think only a few 2nd gen idols have a successful solo career such as GD, Taeyeon, Kyuhyun, Taemin and etc. However, these people come from groups that have big fandom. So, there will always be people anticipating their solo release.

fandom oriented means what

Quote from peachyjoon

if he still is very famous right now you wouldn’t have made this thread. cuz as you stated yourself, fans stan people with fame, right?

was

Quote from Golden_Wishes

Didn't his "attitude" scandals and leaving beast basically kill his career off.

Boy's always had an ass ton of haters

what attitude

Quote from Poetry

I mean Beast became Highlight. That in itself is confusing to new kpop fans.

highlight is still famous in korea

Quote from MrAkimo123

The group that has bigger fandom which means they will buy anything the group release especially any album. If a group only has much public recognition, the group high likely will do well in Kchart, with high digital sales but have low physical sales. Public only listen to their music but doesn't want to buy their album

yes and big company always have big fandom since humans are suckers for rich ppl
