Do you guys consider Fromis_9 and Weeekly nugus?

I don't know them other than having heard their name many times, so I'm guessing not nugu

Yes, they're nugu. In 5 years, they will be forgotten, with no impact on kpop whatsoever.

If i had to identify one member by name or face i wouldnt be able to but idk if thats saying much

if fromis and weeekly are nugu than nugu litterally have zero meaning. weeekly has an mv with over 100 million views and fromis just had 100k first week sales....neither are even close to nugu

Fromis aren't nugus, at least in Korea.

And weeekly got a spotify hit (biggest and most important metric ever), isn't that enough for akp users?

nugu means unknown unheard of

and most kpop fans have at the very least heard of those groups

To me, Fromis is more nugu, i can't name any members or hum any of their songs.

At least with Weeekly, i can recognize Jihan and i know Holiday like the back of my hand, it's a SOTY contender.

Damn, the standards are ridiculous these days if having 100 million+ views still means you're nugu.

I think I will not put them, when you are a gg selling 100k maybe including them it's too much.

Fromis left nugu territory with We Go tbh so I get why some users aren't updated. In Korea they are one of the most trendy ggs with men + their sales reached the 100k mark which is pretty good

Weeekly don't sell as much but one could argue the success of After school got them out of nugudom, we will see if the next comeback does as bad as holiday or gets them back to the race

I really pray that the Kpop fandom understands what mid tier groups are, instead of throwing every not extremely big group under nugu

weeekly are not nugu stop doing my girls like this. they are the nations girl group mid tier. they have an mv with 100M+ views, after school became a dance trend in kpoptiktok and has a bunch of streams on spotify. if you are into ggs at this time you have at least heard of weeekly and/or recognized jihan or monday and had seen after school. they sell decently too.

idk that much about fromis_9 or their members but i dont think they are nugu anymore.

stop slandering weeeklys name my girls wil forever be the group everyone has heard about but doesnt bother to stan!!!

People mentioning yt and spotify streams but those didn't last much for weeekly. Last time they sold 50k or something? Not the worst but not the best either. Holiday only has 8M streams on Spotify.

Fromis_9 is a lower mid tier i guess. They can chart at least on real-time on korean charts and sell 100k. I'd say they are bigger than weeekly atm.

They are far from nugus.

Fromis_9 sold over 100k of their latest album plus they're Hybe's only gg.

Weeekly members are known. Jihan is a music show MC. Monday is known as one of the top female vocalists.

They both have charted, so no.
