YESSSSS!!! My fave nugus! I'm so glad that they have the money for a comeback. I wish their name was different b/c they have terrible SEO. Even when I search their name in Hangul, I get ice not the band.
I should look to see if they have a fanpage or tumblr dedicated to them. I wish them lots of success. Their songs are good, and the girls seem so cool.
Anyway, it looks like they have more of a budget this round, and the song sounds good, so I'm excited.
iirc, this group has been active in Vietnam and some SEA countries. I know nugus can make money at school performances and make brand deals with local companies (like one chicken store instead of a chain). I honestly don't see how it's possible to be profitable.They're ot even LABOUM levels of nugu. I love ICE, but they and similar tier groups truly make me say, 'who?'
ETA: Though it looks like ICE haven't gotten paid. Poor Yuna (their Japanese member) left the group. Apparently she didn't get paid nor did she get traveling or living expenses paid for, so she had to live off the money her parents sent her. And her agency CEO sexually harassed her, but b/c it was her dream she chose to endure until her agency failed to get her a visa, so she chose to terminate the contract and return to Japan.
