Kisses 1,374 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 A Pink ends comeback promos empty handed Monday, October 24, 2016 a pink No comments Article: A Pink ends comeback 'empty handed', what was the issue? Source: TV Report via Nate 1. [+259, -8] Well they had a long hiatus and their new song didn't have enough of an impact 2. [+251, -16] They need better songs.. and it's not like they were ever S tier as a group either... 3. [+208, -8] It's fine that they didn't win #1 on music shows since trophies don't mean what they used to anyway but it does feel like A Pink as a group is getting less attention, especially since groups like Twice, Black Pink, and IOI have come out. Those groups are always headlining and charting strongly whereas A Pink has none of that. The public just doesn't care about them anymore. 4. [+28, -4] I'd put SHINee in the same flop category too. They were barely getting some trophies when it was an empty house and then got pushed aside entirely by BTS... A Pink and SHINee both had weak songs. 5. [+27, -3] It's just a result of times changing. A Pink isn't considered that pretty compared to other idol groups and they won #1 till now with good songs. It's been a while since A Pink debuted too and they've already hit their peak so it's natural that they're on the decline now. And it's not like you're considered a flop just because you didn't win #1... It's just best that they accept what they are now and promote as they are... Anyway, it seems like the members went through some intense dieting. They all came back so skinny.. 6. [+21, -5] I liked their new song but I do think that the public is bored with them always doing the same concept 7. [+18, -3] Their song was pretty bad 8. [+17, -2] This was actually their worst song to date. I love all of A Pink's songs but their new one was a miss ㅜ 9. [+16, -2] The members looked great from outfit to style but the song was bad... It felt like a packed soccer stadium and the players are all in good condition... and then the ball is missing right as the game's about to start. 10. [+14, -3] I guess even A Pink's washed up now... 11. [+11, -2] It's understandable if you consider how long A Pink's been out already. Idol life spans may seem long but they usually hit peak at about 5 years and then go on decline after that. A Pink's an older group now so of course they're going to focus more on individual activities with less album promos since there are way younger rookie groups constantly debuting. It's the natural flow of idol groups, not necessarily a sign of their popularity dropping... 12. [+9, -5] The public's just bored now 13. [+8, -1] A Pink barely promotes on varieties or other individual activities. Their only forms of promotions were music shows or concerts and they were on hiatus for a year and 2 months while promoting overseas so their fandom got a lot weaker in the process. I don't think A Cube is promoting them as much as they used to either. They have a lot of fan meets in Japan but none in Korea... I get that the foreign market is more profitable but you shouldn't ignore your Korean fans like that. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YooJeong 6,303 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 They had good album sales and the song was nice. It was a nice gift for fans rather than an attempt at a huge hit song. I thought it was beautiful, nice and fulfilled good promotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZPM 4,855 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Is it because the group is unwilling to try new concepts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever 1,299 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I loved Pink Revolution! To me, its their best album yet. I hope they can comeback early next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa_Nunu 3,109 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 This is what scares me about being in Kpop. It doesn't matter how popular you become you can lose it all in an instant. It must be tough having to promote knowing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepidoptery 2,917 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 oh boi i thought they were in a cube and it was related to cube zzzz lol Well, A Cube was originally a subsidiary of Cube but the management and CEO were all different (I believe the relationship was basically financial), but now the company is called Project A and was purchased by Loen, so there's no real relationship with Cube at all. XD A Cube managed to do pretty well with A Pink overall and seeing as they managed to do well with similar concepts and with not very frequent comebacks at all, and quite a few of the girls get substantial individual work (3 that I know of anyway), it's hard to say that they should have known when their usual strategy would stop working (well, except that a new wave of girlgroups have clearly been heading for success).

Forever 1,299 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Is it because the group is unwilling to try new concepts? Only One is a different concept tho..Its mature and classy and if you watch the performances, the dance is a little sexy too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterlife 5,649 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 The new gen is too popular and too trendy that they phased out older groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memeyoongi 4,769 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 they said they want to show mature music, that's probably why it flopped if they go back to candypop aegyo stuff it won't flop that bad mature music is pretty much reserved for soloists in the industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
