[enter-talk] HUL HAN CHOWON SEEMS REALLY MAD ABOUT THE RIGGING

[hynapia]

Understandable. She was unfairly rigged out, and she could've been in a very successful group intead of struggling for popularity 3 years later in a group that don't seem to have made much splash so far.

no hate but she wouldnt have added anything? izone alreayd had yuri, eunbi, chaewon, yena, yujin and chaeyeon

it's not a matter of "adding something". She was unfairly removed when that spot in the group was rightfully hers.

i think definitely jo yuri (no way was she number 3, or even top 12) and either yujin or chaewon. yujin was dropping in the ranks and at the time she was slightly disliked for having an attitude(?) or being ungrateful dont remember exactly (most likely the result of devil editing). chaewon i think intl fans underestimate her popularity with korean voters but it's possible to be either

Yuri going from #18 the week previous to the finale to #3 suddenly in the finale was a bit suspicious ngl. Same as Chaewon suddenly making it to the group when she was never in the top 12 (similar to Hangyul and Minhee making it last minute too in pdx).

Honestly who could blame her. If Lightsum had bombed on debut, then she could legitimately have said Mnet/CJ had robbed her of millions of earning and a career. She could still say that. 

Lightsum didn't bomb but tbh it's not like they made a big splash for a Cube gg either, especially compared with G-idle's debut that was a smash hit.

Their physical sales are pretty good tho (41k for a single album) but the song didn't chart anywhere that I know of (maybe in Bugs for a couple of hours).

To be fair Latata didn’t take off right out of the gate. But after (G)I-dle performed live for a couple of weeks it took off and the rest is history. Cube should have given Lightsum a better song to debut with especially since it was a single. At any rate they have a lot of potential so hopefully their career is more I-dle than CLC. 

On topic: I’d be pissed as well if I lost out on all that money and publicity. 

Yeah but that's the thing. Latata might didn't chart at first but eventually it did a reverse charting and had a lot of impact with kpop fans and the public.

Vanilla didn't enter any chart (again, maybe Bugs) and didn't seem that much hyped by kpop fans either but they have potential. Out of the debuts this year so far they were the most popular, and that's already something.
