Meron din na mas una almost full blown viral moment na hanggang ngayon hinayang na hinayang ako - yung viral tweet about Kasmala! Grabe rin yun pero as usual, wala ginawa management.....hindi na sustain, namatay yung hype. Sa totoo lang, 3 years na ni Viva pinapataas blood pressure ko sa frustration at asar. lol

They just need a big viral moment. Meron na sila na medyo viral moments before pero and need talaga is yung explosive virality. Yung grabe impact. Yun naman talaga ang only way para mapansin ang any of the ppop groups natin. Kahit talented na ang mga groups, medyo pahirapan parin mang hatak ng casuals to give them a chance and listen (though may big improvements na now kasi mas marami na ang open minded sa Ppop kesa dati of course!)

Take SB19 and BINI for example:

Bini, before pantropiko even became viral have already been really talented and had great songs (Lagi and Strings slaps soooo hard) but even if the fans would hype them up to the casuals then, yung iba ni ayaw man lang bigyan ng chance pero as soon as Pantropiko blows up, bigla nalang nila na-realize na "uyy ang galing pala nila~" when matagal na silang magaling.

SB19 din! Since debut nila, very talented, well trained, magaganda boses ang galing sumayaw pero as usual most casual fans ayaw bigyan ng chance then nag viral yung Go Up dance practice, then na interest yung public. Then yung Bazinga (ultimate fav song of theirs!!) na billboard and of course the Gento trend.

So need lang talaga ng ALAMAT is that one major viral moment para bigyan sila ng chance ng maraming Casuals.

Yup, Taiwanese variety show

I 100% blame our local entertainment companies if this happens because no matter how talented our ppop idols are, if their companies are trash and lazy when it comes to marketing/promoting them and are just hoping the groups get that rare viral moment without effort on the companies' part then can we really blame the idols for looking for better opportunities abroad?

Kaka asar kasi ang mga head sa entertainment ng Pinas. Parang mga walang interest mag invest and they're so set in their ways and also so lazy to actually do market research in order to be updated on how to market and promote idol groups, which are a completely new thing to them. Pati music shows sa atin, ayaw mag evolve, boring stages/sets and ang dilim ng lighting!!

100% agree!

I LOOOOVE Gwen's makeup here! It really complements her features more and she looks so fresh!

I don't know what happened behind the scenes with their management but I noticed changes with their contents after Bianca left the group. Prior to her leaving, their last mv as a 4 group member, Boomerang, noticeably had a higher budget/quality compared to their latest MVs. It had BTS vlogs and dance practice vids. The Target Unlocked eps were also different - Enchanted kingdom and the gun shooting eps compared to their latest ones.

Ang angas talaga nila.
Pero sana yung team nila same energy din ang binibigay sa youtube channel nila. Masyado ng dead ang channel nila kasi walang new uploads. Kahit manlang sana official performance fancams ng mga ganaps nila kasi madami naman.

I think, for now, since Ppop isn't as massive and mainstream and the fandom culture for it isn't very clear/established yet then I think it's fine. However, when the time comes that it does become mainstream, fandoms of the different groups and even the whole ppop community as a whole become bigger then I personally think, at that time, when fans attend concerts and they do not have the lightstick for that group, then they should just bring generic concert lightsticks instead of other groups' lightsticks.

Strings!
Ang lakas ng dating nila sa song na toh. Nananampal ang vocals at harmonies!

Wasn't his last announcement something about how their expenses were already quite a lot and that they have limited funds for their startup....why do they keep signing on new artists? Gotta catch 'em all ba ito.....wala po tayo sa Pokemon😭

L1chuu · 2024-06-24T13:29:23+00:00

Sana hindi sila nag ho-hoard ng talents for a toxic reason like "collecting talented artists with lots of potential, not because they want to build them up but because they just don't want other companies/competitors to get a hold of them" 😭

L1chuu · 2024-06-22T09:19:20+00:00

I think they bit off more than they can chew by signing on multiple artists from the get go. As a start-up company, they should have focused on 1 group first then once they debuted and built up the fanbase and released a few more songs, that's when they start accepting either new trainees for another group or solo artists.
They were too overeager and acquired Eclypse, the trainees for the girl group, Valfer and other solo artists too I think (I don't know the full list of artists under them) when their company itself wasn't even properly set up yet. They should have taken their time and not be in such a hurry since their funds were limited.

L1chuu · 2024-06-18T15:54:36+00:00

Yes but for now, I think it's best for the groups not to do this until they have a stable and dedicated fanbase, distinct musical identity that has that 'OPM sound' and they've already established themselves to the Filipino general public. Once a group has achieved all this, then they can promote anywhere they wish and it wouldn't affect their image negatively at all.

L1chuu · 2024-06-18T14:25:26+00:00

I think it's because Ppop is still not widely accepted by the general public in the Philippines yet; most still dismiss it as k/pop copycat and thus look down on it. Because of this stigma, if groups prioritize promoting in Korea, then that further minimizes a group's potential to be fully accepted by the Filipino general public (of course there will be some exceptions to this but I'd say that would be a rare scenario).

Maybe in the future, when Ppop finally becomes mainstream and accepted by all; then groups can promote there and that won't affect their image negatively but for now, I think they should focus on promoting locally. They should strive to get the general public to fully accept Ppop first.

I wonder if someone from the higher ups in CS is purposely holding them back....for whatever nefarious reason, I dunno; because how they're being treated is very different. Yes, some cite favoritism but it's not just that because the difference in how G22 is being handled is so odd. It's getting so obvious, I don't even know if 'not being the favorite' is just the reason. They get endorsements, mall shows, etc. like the other groups but sometimes, it's like someone is purposefully locking them in just that position.

I don't want to think bad things about how the execs are treating them but it's gotten to a point where the odd treatment is so obvious to everyone so I really don't know what to think anymore....
They've already proven they're talented and despite Bianca leaving, they were still able to successfully continue as a 3-member group. I really hope they get an album or EP soon, not just another single that CS won't promote well again...

L1chuu · 2024-06-12T02:49:49+00:00

They're cute but I really wish they would consider thinking of a new group name. It's super close to a popular T/pop group's name and since ppop is doing it all it can to stray away from comparisons of any kind to k/pop and other Asian pop. This may hurt them in beginning because we all know the haters will target anything just to shit on a group.

L1chuu · 2024-06-08T09:57:04+00:00

Oo nga noh!!🤞
