AROHA (아로하) Honest Reaction to CHA EUN WOO - STAY M/V (Solo Debut)

[@mamshiemo7927]

It’s a heartbreaking song, Eunwoo’s voice really suits ballads and love songs. Thanks for always supporting our Astro best boys 😊

This song and this clip is really beautiful. It’s true that it seems very weird that there’s no communication about his solo debut, but I really think it’s his choice, he must not be ready yet. The fans blame the agency but he had the choice to not do it, he is still suffering a lot I think.

El Album es un tributo a Binni y cha Eun-woo dijo que Arohas (Fandom) podria conocer a Lee Don Ming... el lado mas vulnerable de èl. Su Albúm tiene diferentes etapas la perdida, el dolor, enojo, desahogo y resignación. Escribio todas las canciones y espero que esto le ayude a superar la muerte de Moon-bin Gracias por apoyar a nuestro NUNU mi principe bello 🔯🫶🏼🫰

Maybe he didn't want to commercialize the album, and wanted it personal. Why judge? Lol.

The album is beautiful but marketing is very bad, and it hurt his streaming and sales numbers. I don't think it was his choice to keep it low profile because every artist wants their debut to be big and successful. I think it was the agency's strategy, the fancon is called "mystery elevator" they probably thought it would intrigue people but it kind of didn't work because proper marketing and promotions spread the word to the fans and general audience. The kind of marketing they did, it didn't even spread the word of his release to his own fans.

Didn't Eunwoo mentioned it on his KZbin live about his concert? I'm sure his fans/Astro fans knew about the solo concert @ Seoul recently and his Asian Tour concerts.

@@anil.3899 That's what I'm saying, only the ardent fans who keep up with everything he does knew about the album release and the fan concert. Many of his fans are from his dramas who don't even know he's a singer, it was the agency's job to balance out his activities and social media posts to make sure that those "casual fans" knew about the release. About the fan concerts, I've heard that it's only open to his official fanclub members, like in order to buy the tickets you first have to be a member of his official fanclub. That can explain why they're holding it in small venues and not like a full concert.

@CapriNova1041 I'm sure his fans who watched his dramas are Astro's/Eunwoo's fans also. I think his solo concerts "Just 10 Minutes" are usually held in smaller venues, unlike the group concerts. It seems like Eunwoo did the planning, with Fantagio's assistance (it seems like this is personal for him, it's not about the money... I read it somewhere today on someone's comment on KZbin. But from what I saw on other videos, there were a lot of fans who attended his solo concert this past weekend.

@@anil.3899 I understand what you're saying. "just one 10 minutes" is more of a fanmeet than a concert that's why it's held in small venues. I know this was a passion project for him; this was more for the art and less for the charts. And in his recent interview he said that it was his choice to keep it low profile. Even with the non-existent marketing it's a huge success for a soloist from a small company. My point is that the company mostly markets him as an actor/model and less as a singer. I've had many interactions with his drama fans who don't even know he's a singer. I'm saying the agency needs to balance it up like IU and some other actor/idol's managements do.
