    some of the new members not giving new at all 

FIFTY FIFTY is a small group from a small company. Them paying for some tiktok virality isn't a gotcha moment.

 

Lets expose the top companies that do it! Like HYBE for ex :heart2:

Now that the group has some traction with a new executive installed, the investors have decided the CEO of Attrakt has become useless and are getting rid of him to maximize their profit share.

 

If the group had been a flop, they would've just let the CEO remain with the debt as a write off.

I honestly do not buy the whole “rags to riches” story from Fifty Fifty. They have a very strong team behind them who are very connected in the industry and that’s okay! I feel like everything was planned with Cupid such as having an English version etc. cause why would a supposed nugu gg release an English song if the company claim that they never intended to break through the West? 
Again I’m not saying that the success of Cupid isn’t organic or anything cause it really is the most organic global Kpop hit since Gangnam Style. They just also had a very strong team behind them like the ones we see in the Big 4 companies.

 

Other groups like XG are in the same boat, and they also have a very strong team behind them as well, and you can see how much thought and money went into the whole project etc.

Did I spill, nugu king? @harrythevifan

 

^ This post was from May, and y'all skull dragged me and said I was hating etc.... I always knew that Fifty Fifty had a strong team behind them and weren't in a "rags to riches" situation, but y'all didn't want the "rags to riches" fairytale ruined so y'all disliked my post and tried to debunk my claim and what not. Maybe y'all should listen to me more instead of thinking I'm just a crazy SKZ stan, cause I usually spill most of the time, and I always end up being right

Sis stop the self....

lbr every company is paying for a push on tiktok (to a certain extent)

like paying a tiktoker with a big following to post content about a certain group

Is what I said to Troye Sivan when he tried to spread his ass cheeks to Hyunjin on Tiktok

$6 million* is rags in today's media environment.  Twelve years ago, maybe you could do everything Fifty Fifty did for like $600k in Korea.

*Can't believe that figure derived from some sketchy rando "media critic" youtube video is gaining traction. FACTS! :dies:

Well it's not the first time Troye is caught spreading his asscheeks, I said it too but HyunJin only gives me bottom vibes

I got called nasty and bitter for saying the same lol!

Even if they paid 6 million in marketing, the fact the song is still on the BB100 and on all major charts with stability tells me people actually like the song and it's not another mass buying kpop fandom attempt :clap3:

and THAT’S that! promo doesn’t guarantee that a song will click - that’s why advertglow continued tanking even with the YouTube ads being so frequent it’s literally their nickname

 

those deals and tactics might help an initial push, but longevity requires an audience to keep tuning in

why are the girls suing though? 

It's like when women file for divorce, they wait until they have secured the next guy.

 

:cm:

I don't think anybody outside of kpop twitter or tiktok cared much about the nugu rag to riches story. People are being way too hard on them over this "scandal". Reeks of stans getting jealous.

I don't think so + he's packed as well. I didn't nickname him HungJin for nothing :giraffe:

All this talk about 'Cupid' and the singers and I don't even remember how this song sounds like. I heard It once or twice

For me it's okay, even if 5050 goes to nugudom again forever I hope they still go on cuz they release listenable music unlike 99% of kpop nowadays

Well you are missing on their music, don't be that untasteful 

Also if I'm going to be posting in this thread again let me start by acknowledging that My are becoming just as bad as that other fandom. The akgae antics and min heejin conspiracy theories are some of the most embarrassing things I've seen in like 13 years of being a chronically online koreaboo.
