why is it when people say a group will flop it’s turns out to be successful?

[lalisabp]

Or is it just me, It’s not like I want izone to flop but everyone saying they’ll flop but watch when If backfires.

[rejeshrimp]

It's not always that way, but mostly we just hear success stories so groups that were said to flop and DID flop are never heard from thereafter.

 

That being said, I doubt izone will flop entirely and I think perhaps the reason people want it to is because of mnet

K-Pop fans overuse the word flop tbh

[U R Messy AF]

Because people have impossible standards and throw the word flop around to the point where it's meaningless now.

What's sad is how it feels like people want izone to flop. Like how sad do you have to be to want a group of sweet girls with dreams to fail?

 

I get people are mad that some trainees didn't make the top 12, but that isn't really an excuse to be rude.

This to be honest. Not only with izone but every other group as well. I don't get why you would wish for people who spend their life training, giving up on their normal life to fulfill their dreams, to fail. Like who hurt you so much that you wish so much pain and sorrow on other people. Will never understand that.

I don't think they will flop but I also don't think they will be super successful.

I wish the girls success eventhough no one that I actually supported other than wonyoung got in

At this point people use the word "flop"so much that I've begun to think its the K-pop version of "Break a leg".

 

To example, in theater before a performance happens people say "break a leg" instead of "good luck" because of superstitions that have become a tradition. Apparently, stating "good luck" will give one bad luck in theater.

 

So in the K-pop industry I'm seeing "flop" as a way to bring success vibes to groups.

If you don't debut at #1 on Melon you're automatically a flop with these people

[eyesea]

they won't flop they just wont sell too many albums, chart very high or be talked about that much

[Deviandrepepe]

Ofc they are not going to flop. Honestly when i say a group is going to flop they 100% flop. Unless something is very wrong song wise they will do well.
