Groups I thought were going to be more successful than they actually were

I agree about AB6IX, but the DUI thing last year made them have to regroup literally.

Oh damn does this spell the same fate for gidle then.

GIDLE have international fans, way more than AB6IX. I think they'll be ok especially since they have Soyeon. Daehwi's popularity kinda outshines AB6IX though.

Mamamoo is the biggest non big 3 GG ever in kpop

They did pretty well overall

Mamamoo?

Ever? I think Sistar and T-ara are strong candidates, especially considering T-ara strong presence in Japan and China back then

T-ara had like two relevant years and Sistar was only big among the domestic general public in Korea

monsta x (they need better songs imo)

Mamamoo are big it’s just their singles choices are questionable since hip

Plus once hwasa drops her cb She will bag another top 5

Winner and Ikon tbh

Gidle was building nicely, they had a solid fanbase in both Korea and internationally

Hopefully the Soojin thing won't affect them as a group and theyll be able to move forward because their sound is special among groups.

Truly it would be a loss if this is how they will peak

Why is Mamamoo here? They already cemented their names, specially Hwasa. You don't have to be a Top-3 group to actually be really successful you know. That way of thinking is just

It's i-dle for me but after the soojin situation i realized nothing good is coming their way.. hopefully they'll be able to go through this but i feel like they won't reach the same popularity level they would have reached if soojin was still there and nothing had happened

Quote from Weitangent

honestly what is up with Monsta x concept of hyper masculinity, I think that concept pushes a lot of fans away tbh, so I never understood their prior hype.

True sometimes it's too much. I do like the members but I can't help but cringe sometimes

Purple kiss - still extremely young, so including just for fun but yea I thought solar aggressive marketing would have a similar effect to itzy predebut marketing. They don’t seem to be attracting attention as of yet.

I see, I see. So what your saying is, solar has not the same power as Mr. fancy pants
