Hello all! I'm a new member here, but I have been stalking this thread since...forever? I love the woollim girls too and anticipate their debut~
Nice to meet you all!
As for the people who underestimate the girls, I'm upset about that too since most of them (from what I have seen so far, not only here) acts like they really know everything about what they're talking about. The girls are very promising, they have amazing talents and also pretty too, which is what people looking for. Most of them have trained for a quite long time (I'm still amazed with Baby Soul's patience). For people to just dismissed them like that is (for me) unrespectful to the girls, their talents, and their hard works. It's the same too with other groups from small companies. Not to mention, the person who said that INFINITE, Teen Top, B1A4, etc got lucky is downplaying their success, as if their success is only because they got lucky when in fact those groups and their agency works hard to get where they are now.
By the way, the way Woollim handled and promote the girls is actually quite good, by releasing a solo song one by one they already built people's expectations and interests...now if only there isn't a big time gap between one song to another song...
Sorry for the rant! I'm sleepy, so there is a big chance I'm not really coherent...
