That’s disappointing only because YG doesn’t do much for artist releases. I hope she has some sort of success as a solo artist.

Why is the girly from A2K released a song at the same time the BICHY.

no American label is spending that much money for a lady with 2 songs to her name. Maybe if she had a proven track record they could bank on but who even knows if anyone would still care about the stinks after the disbandment

 

Money is literally 1 billion smash. Like-? 

 

The ROI on Lisa is guaranteed in touring and fashion. Like any US label would have a wet dream with the amount of touring she could do, brand deals she could make in Asia alone.

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, the K-pop world has been rocked by the shocking revelation that Jiwoo and Jeemin, the fierce talents who were unjustly denied a spot in the final lineup of the much-criticized girl group I'LL-IT, are not only alive but poised for a sensational comeback that promises to shake the industry to its core. Sources close to the duo suggest that they're returning with a vengeance, armed with an arsenal of untapped talent and unapologetic determination to expose I'LL-IT's lackluster vocal abilities. With fiery accusations of rigging and undeserved fame, Jiwoo and Jeemin are ready to end I'LL-IT's reign of dubious stardom, setting the stage for a showdown that promises to be a commercial catastrophe for the beleaguered girl group. The K-pop world has never witnessed such a sensational comeback plot twist!

 

 

I really hope that they could debut together

The initial question was "did V flop" and @BTS answered with receipts showing that he clearly didn't globally. YOU were the one to try and pivot the conversation into Korean stats.

 

Love Me Again and Lalisa both peaked at #29 on melon daily, but V was at least able to chart Rainy Days and Slow Dancing within the top 100 too while Money peaked outside the top 100 despite its virality. So while V underperformed in Korea, that was largely expected considering the type of music he released. Despite this, he is doing better than Lisa globally . So yes, if you still consider him a flop then Lisa is an even bigger one!

Why would I not ask about a KPOP idol charting, in his own country, the country where he got a big roll out?  
 

It’s very convenient that now you are comparing his Korean charting with the FOREIGNER member of the group, probably  a way to cope bc you know that he flopped and his #s would look like a joke compared to the Koreans members .

record labels are failing to produce new superstars, why wouldn't they want someone like Lalisa LoveMe with her immense success and massive fandom... if they somehow screwed up and failed to make her even bigger it wouldn't be her fault cuz she has everything to succeed

 

Jennie could do very well too, but I don't know if she has the drive anymore to start over after everything YG did

You would do so to deflect from the fact that he is outperforming your global it girl internationally despite releasing less accessible music, since the original conversation was about overall success 

 

And I’m not the one having trouble acknowledging reality - I already admitted that he underperformed in Korea, but he had the genre of his music working against him just like Lisa had her foreigner status that you brought up. The bottom line is he STILL performed better than her in Korea AND is performing better internationally .

None of the girls have the power to parlay their Blackpink-level fame into genuine GP level recognition which is what an American label would be looking for. And I'm afraid none of them have the power to sustain themselves at their current level without the huge Blackpink machine, and the industry's general affinity for groups vs soloists, backing them up.

 

What historical precedence is there in kpop for former girl group members maintaining their peak success post-disbandment?

 

I don't make the rules. Idk what to tell you.

While Hyoyeon is a beast on stage, she'd need more than herself for a record. I mean there is a reason why the Cassies and Lumidee's never happened more than one era. A whole album of a single note is hard to digest. I mean there is a reason on her only mini album 58% of the songs are featuring someone else. And out of 10 singles 50% of them are also featuring.

10 billions in won is a bit less than 8 Millions USD which is more than realistic when put her music receipts, plus her endorsement prices and everything together. 

[hindsight]

she's gonna bring in the Money.mp3 regardless, even if she loses she still wins

Tea. I think people underestimate what YG does for their artists image. Once the ones are somewhere else their current status will plummet without the image machine behind them.

So how's EL7Z UP doing after a week?

SNSD is usually the prime example. Yoona and Taeyeon are just as, if not, bigger than they were in SNSD. But that's about it lmao
