did cha yoonji's mini-album do poorly or smth? i really liked it, anyway.

Well maybe everyone from HOTSHOT will become known and they will become relevant. Jelly was my jam this summer. I need more jamz from them

Cha Yoonji makes sense, she didn't really got her name out there, this could bring some popularity push. But her company REALLY needs to change her stage name TT

I feel bad for Hyunjoo, she was one of the faces of April, but she was sick for long and never came back to the group after her hiatus. I guess the ~acting path~ DSP used when they announced that she would definitively leave the group was bs? anyway I wish her well :(

i feel like if she had a different stage name it would be easier to get her name out lol but i do love her music

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I really liked her mini-album too! she has potential. But it looks like her company doesn't really know what they're doing with her.
It's impossible to Google her with that stage name lmao what were they thinking...

i got real boa vibes from her debut! strong voice, strong dance, stable lives, pretty! honestly i think they should 1) DEF change her stage name and 2) push the fact she's baro's sister more. happy together has had 2 episode devoted to sibling celebrities and they could get on there!

Yes I really don't understand how they could fail with a talented kid, an opening to variety shows with Baro and a BoA-inspired concept... it could have been everything

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

oh it was Baro sister , i do feel her debut made zero impact on kpop scene ... imo it was a cool concept but korean audience seem to think diferent

its good to see hotshot guys here, heaven knows they deserve better and agency could use any kind of free promotion

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Only two ex-members lol you won't have any other surprise! They debuted as a 6-member group, lost their main vocalist/leader Somin after their first promotion round, then the visual Hyunjoo during the third promotion round, both being among the most popular members... it was a rough debut to say the least. I'm glad things turned out well for April and Somin in the end.
It's sadder for Hyunjoo, health problems were the reason she stepped out of the group. I hope she's doing better

Yay HOTSHOT members! It only makes sense they'd want to do this, since two of their members are active in other groups right now
