Am I the only person who is highly pissed by the mistreatment and bad management of THE9?
I totally understand that they debuted just a few months after the beginning of the pandemic but Idol Youth Entertainment could 100% do much better than what they did.
Look at their official music videos, even I (a random girl who has never took a video with an actual videocamera) could have been a great competition to them. They would 100% have lost regarding making the thumbnail for their music videos too.
The girls also should have been promoted much better and we had zero chance to see any small group activity.
The only thing I can praise is the styling. Best styled group in the idol industry! Give the stylists a raise.
And their performances? Slayed all of them even if they weren’t many. I have never watched full episodes or followed Idol survival shows but I do catch up by watching clips and seeing how they are doing from debut and like many I believe that they may be one of the best groups if not the best on Youth With You and they had a TON of potential; seriously.
Their street style is also game on! On Pinterest people are always asking who they are under their photos usually taken at the airport because both their style and look are stunning. When I tell you that with better songs and management they could have gotten a larger fan base and they would have attracted many casual listeners too! Some NuGu groups could easily be compared to them and that’s…a bit disappointing (talking about the quality).
The company should have focused on building a bigger fan base since it understandably right in the first year of the pandemic because as we all know they couldn’t earn more than much with digital concerts.
The disbandment was abrupt too. I really do not know what to say anymore. Many Mandpop/Cpop groups do not grant of amazing music video quality (although technologically they are really advanced) but theirs was really over the roof.
