ethereal 20,923 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 i must say, as a long time lovelyz fan, Wow was their BIGGEST musical disappointment imo. knowing what the girls are capable of vocally and stylistically, it just really wasn't their best. it also showed woolim's incapability as a company to be consistent in their branding of lovelyz. i just mean, how was their last album called "a new trilogy" but then the next comeback was a complete 180 visually. they didn't even try to tie it together other than borrowing destiny's melody and tempo for the chorus. there were also better songs on the r u ready album but leave it to woolim to choose their worst, least marketable song EVER as the title. anyway, i finally saw that today a prologue was released for their repackage and i'm extremely happy that woolim seems to have learned from a few of their previous mistakes. 1. they're going back to the ~trilogy~ theme they started with destiny's , returning to the concept that lovelyz does best. 2. the timing is right this time, not many artists are coming back that week from what i can recall, and those already out will be on the tail end of promos so lovelyz 1st win possibly incoming. now all i can do is sit back and pray that lovelyz can recreate the success that was robbed from them by bad management and break out for good this time. i know i shouldn't expect too much since it's a repackage, but their first notably successful song digitally, Hi~, was also a repackage, so maybe the formula will be complete this time.

Kyzara 986 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Almost no one is coming back this week or the other because some music shows have been cancelled due to the elections... And I don't think Woollim has changed, but maybe they've learned their lesson with Wow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earliest chance to get win would be 16th may on The Show. yeah, i just realized. i still think it will work in lovelyz' benefit tho, but we'll only know in a few weeks. A New Trilogy was amazing but their R U Ready sold much better. it's not just about album sales tho. clearly that's not enough since the girls still haven't been paid....

xxsuperjayxx 2,439 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I share the same sentiments and was getting hopeful but then I remembered Presidential elections are happening and music shows are cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divine 7,098 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Yeah with music shows getting cancelled and elections right around the corner they may lose hype but I hope this comeback is better and more interesting than Wow( even though I grew to like the song and concept it didn't mash well to what Lovelyz image was.)

ethereal 20,923 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 They released 4 months around a year after debuting, Woollim puts in work for Lovelyz what do you mean by this? i don't understand. but anyway, my point is that woolim does not market or manage lovelyz well, which is true. i mean, how could they NOT capitalize on ah choo's success when it's literally a digital hit. and lovelyz is right back to square one.

Anna Warsian 180 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Albums, don't know why I wrote months. Bad thing about Lovelyz is that they have fans of senior groups in their own company that absolutely hate them. I know Inspirit are angry towards Lovelyz for some reasons. Like they don't want back up Sujeong for her remarks on radio. But they are not hating us like antis. I understand why they are angry. You may says some indeed. Please don't generalize everyone. When Lvlz make debut and keep growing fandom base, who you think supporting them? There are big share of Inspirit being Lovelinus. About Lovelyz popularity we can blame Woollim promotional method. Why would they market Lvlz like 90s Boy Group? By releasing songs then some formal interview? I hate when they are pushing out the release like Infinite. After Ah-Choo rising up, Woollim don't extend its promotion and releasing Lovelinus album instead. The Lovelinus can delay the release to February 2016 instead. Although For You live per. still brings many people to fandom, I always wonder what if Ah-Choo are extending its promotions. Also i tired seeing comments like Lovelyz will go same path like Infinite later on. To begin we don't stand in same situation. Do Infinite involve in defamation scandal ? Nope! Also I don't think Wow are bad. They use what's unique to Lovelyz itself. Beside chorus similar to Destiny, they totally differents. I think Wow are doing good like Hi~ by presenting more fresher vibe after Destiny.Moreover Wow make me curious about upcoming title track whether they will go something more experimental dimension than Destiny (Planet) & WoW (comic) ?

Acapella 3,894 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Also i tired seeing comments like Lovelyz will go same path like Infinite later on. To begin we don't stand in same situation. Do Infinite involve in defamation scandal ? Nope! This really bugs me as well. Lovelyz recently ended their 2nd yr and within that same amount of time in the past Infinite had already won with Be Mine, Paradise and Chaser. Alot of ppl use Infinite slow rise as a justification for why Lovelyz hasn't won yet but it doesn't really make sense to me since they're so completely different concept and promotions wise and Woollim as a company is totally different from how they were.

Arky15 501 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I agreed. Woollim should look back at their promotional strategy. They cant put same method they way they promoted Infinite back then. Kpop nowdays has so many strong competition and new groups keep coming and debut like everytime. I like WoW a lot though, its so refreshing and brightful to enjoy with still Lovelyz sounds. Im looking forward for their repackage album (the teaser so aesthetical and its so Lovelyz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkAndMijoo 331 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 music shows are cancelled ??? but that means Lovelyz can´t promote their song for the 1st 2 weeks except radio shows or showcase (if there will be a showcase) !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefox 4,570 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 wow is good but it isn't my cup of tea. i like the concept though. i just hope this comeback will be on their favour despite music shows being cancelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make sense bc INFINITE 1st win was 1 year into debut and it was with a Hit song.. That's not what i'd call "slow rise" and that doesn't justify why Lovelyz didn't win first in almost 3 years.. Their situation in 2012/2013 was so much different from Lovelyz situation now.. I see literally no correlation tbh .. woollim fucked up, end of the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
