Post that missed its timing #1

This post should be published in early January, but it is very late. It’s already almost end of April.

If I recover the blog last year and publish this post in early January, I would write this accidental event as soon as I recognize. The song which I played most in 2023 is ‘CHO’ of ‘Feverse’. It was acceptable, but it was not easy to think that song as I listened most.

It’s a pity that their(?) album get small response and there was no follow-up activity after their debut. Their activity was planned by quite big entertainment company. I expected their special attempt – virtual idol, so they can’t reveal themselves but all of us know who they are. All members of this group is famous in K-POP scene.

In last year, I wrote somewhere (I can’t remember where..) this attempt was similar to stir-fried eggplant. The cooking ingredients was good, cooking place was also good, but cooking method is not suitable with ingredients. So they ruined the dish. Many participants in the survival contest were (relatively) famous, but they should hide their identity. So many fans knew the story after they fell out. This contest couldn’t attract attention when it is in progress. The final survived member was famous among the participants and they can get more attention – but they couldn’t promote themselves so their fame was not strong advantage.

Now, I write this attempt can be compared to globe fish bulgogi of novice cook. We can’t identify the ingredients’s real color. It looked delicious in some aspect, but we worried about ‘not to die after meals’. We were in agony whether it was food or not. The attempt was too unusual. If the cook was professional, we could taste by trusting the cook.


I think the K-POP domestic market is fully saturated. If I have a group to support, there is not enough time every day to see related web contents. So minor group have less chance to get many fans. Someone may think ‘the music show program sill be a chance’. But I don’t agree perfectly. It is my experience – One years ago, very famous K-POP girl group IVE showed mega hit song ‘I AM’ (They got amazing score in both of youtube view, album sales) BUT, I have no memory their music show program. Because the comeback of Kep1er, whom I support, was same day and the main member got injured in first week. I saw the music show as ‘does she recover and show performance?’ and after seeing she didn’t recover, I turned off with sadness. IVE was 1st place candidate and showed their performance in latter sequence of music show. So I couldn’t see.

Anyway, I like K-POP group located in not top position (for both of boy group and girl group). So I was shocked the news that a well-known (so I know) K-POP group is disbanded suddenly, although it is less than 7 years after debut (because ordinary contract period is 7 years). My favorite group… also can disband such manner.
