Momoland to debut with crowdfunded album

[waves-of-light.livejournal.com]

Rookie girl group Momoland will be making its official debut next month. The seven-member act will be releasing its first album on Nov. 10, according to industry insiders.

The debut of the group created through Mnet’s K-pop survival program “Finding Momoland” was delayed after it failed to achieve the show’s final mission of gathering 3,000 audience members for a concert. The girl group managed to attract just over 2,000 people.

To gear up for its upcoming releases, Momoland -- consisting of members Nancy, Hyebin, Nayun, Ahin, Yeonwoo, Jane and JooE -- successfully crowdfunded to cover the costs of the album’s production. The group raised about 10 million won, well over its initial goal of seven million won.

“In addition to local fans, people from all over Asia and countries like England donated to Momoland,” according to the crowdfunding platform Makestar on Thursday. After releasing its debut album, Momoland is scheduled to hold more broadcast appearances and promotional activities.

So they cant gather 3000 ppl but gathered 10 million won from overseas? The problem is they're promoting in SK and domestic fandom matters much more than international fandom

wow, i always thought these debut shows were semi-scripted in that a debut is guaranteed. How devastating must that have been for the girls :(

yeah same, I thought the producers or whoever made sure of it, did promo themselves or got like a fake audience idk

The girls I was rooting for didn't get chosen, hoping they're in the group Chanmi is supposed to be in (lol)

This show seemed to be trying to create something like what P101 did but flopped cause I barely saw anyone talk about it, if ever. I've been tempted to contribute to their Makestar but shipping is too high...

The two songs they've been promoting are good! Especially this one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZBY4As7Z64&index=2&list=FLx0t3Ty6FpWuthxnomsWX7g)
