their most popular era!! ( i mean, there is only two to pick from, so ☠️ )
love so sweet!! held very high on the charts for so long, and they got at least 10 awards despite being from a small company.
the stage's aesthetic was so pretty; it had many fans mesmerized during the stages. and it matched their outfits every time !!
each girl was dressed properly and it all fit very nice together , no one got special treatment this era !! which was surprising considering their debut era the stylist obviously had a favorite.
stan twitter was very messy !! they were all in chaos because the girls didn't have a k-profiles profile, so all they knew about the girls were their stage names.
less than a day layer kandykrush got both a fandom wiki and a k-profiles profile!!!!!
they hit one million views/watchers on their first v-live as nine.
although they haven't had a comeback since love so sweet, they still have high popularity due to their loyal fanbase gained from devotion so sweet!! era.
jane and mang vlogged their experiences backstage, and it honestly was a hit !! they will occasionally do it now, too, since so many people adored it.
the side tracks were as equally loved as the title track was!!
