Luck and a bit of virality I think. Their first win encore got good reception and I also remember a fan making Sullyoon cry (in a bad way lol) around this time that also went viral. 
 

Also not denying the chart or whatever, but shouldn’t have other groups have benefited from this? Why is it only NMIXX 
:rip:

 

I think they were the ones who benefitted most, but iirc it also helped some boy groups 

 

but it’s like other streaming platform promo - exposure helps but if the song doesn’t connect then it won’t do much. it just happened to click with audiences

Yeah I mean people (this thread included) complain about bgs “not being upto par with ggs”, but then ignore genuine TALENT and QUALITY  like Seventeen. Make it make sense. 
 

I mean the least they could do is keep their mouth shut and stop further exposing themselves as ignorant :ahh:

 

also I’d argue svt has more public appeal outside of their fanbase than most bgs in kpop (except the likes of BTS, EXO ofc). They still have charted hits in Korea and had their biggest hit this year. So their vocalists and dancers being so underrated is even weirder to me. I think it’s mostly to do with the size of the group. 13 members is way too much for most people to even entertain the thought of checking them out individually. So it’s impressive that some of them still gained individual popularity outside of the group’s mega fandom. 
 

and yeah, MISAMO’s creative direction is chef’s kiss, and the fact that all 3 of them are breathtakingly beautiful and elegant further elevates their trio moments. We stan gorgeous WOMEN in this house! :heart:

Spoiler

Honestly, I can understand yours (and other fans) annoyance with this but I really think the members being invisible to nonfans is the best thing for the group/fandom and what enables Seventeen to be what they are. I was kind of upset at first when I started delving into their content and music/performances because I was like d*mn they're actually great and everyone ignores them. But when you look at groups who do get nonfan attention, every little thing they do gets speculated and turned into a controversy. I love Seventeen's messiness, humor, and how open they are about fights/pettiness. Things like Hoshi mocking Seungkwan's limpwrist, members making fun of Dino's bad drinking habits, the regular Mingyu draggings, physical attacks, s*x jokes, cussing each other out, stories like Seungkwan giving 3 months of silent treatment, and how much they drag each other in general would cause so much drama with nonfans.  Jeonghan's tea spilling lives and some of the Insomnia Zero draggings alone would cause so many dumb issues and eventually Pledis would have to discontinue those classics

 

Seventeen would have to be so heavily censored to avoid constant controversies/drama, especially members like Jeonghan, that they wouldn't even be the same group and would lose so much of their appeal. By being out of the general kpop consciousness, they're able to be as messy/funny as they want.

 

It also enables the members to be more comfortable in their private life. A lot of the members are already known to be dating, with some of their partners literally being identified, but it's never become a big deal because it didn't make it out of the fandom. Look at the mess Joshua's gf became after it became svt's only relationship to largely make it out of the fandom. Not just dating, but friends too. Members like Dino and Seungkwan are known and on camera to be close friends with and hangout with female idols and literally nothing happens while some male idols will get attacked for just being near a woman

 

I think while it's annoying to have them discredited, it would be way worse to have them being constantly attacked and eventually censored :bird: In the end, they're still highly successful and appreciated and acclaimed where it matters, and they get to be their funny selves too

Anyways lets give Wave a stream! :clap3: Love her
