[@outroseok]

everything aside fnc really fumbled the bag by not scheduling their comeback closer to the finale of gp999. after the finale of kingdom sf9 had a comeback a month later, cherry bullet should've had that same treatment rather than 5 months later when most of the hype died down. bora, jiwon, and may's first insta posts after their eliminations from the show each got over 100k likes when cherry bullet posts typically only get like 15k-20k likes, so the public was definitely checking in on them but fnc basically let all the hype die down before giving them a comeback. anyways love in space is so good, it is probably a top 3 title track for me along with love so sweet and q&a!!

[@hyoobeezhouse]

They sure did. They should've already been planning a comeback as soon as they knew they were going on GP999 so they would be able to capitalize the exposure. I LOOOOOOOVE Love in Space! It's easily one of my favorite bops of all time. They DID do better than their personal best, but I'm sure they could've done much better if they cameback sooner. It's a shame 'cause their discography is some of the best out there. Regardless, I stay a Lullet, love and support them as everyone else should too. Don't sleep on them. You won't regret it. Their discography has all bops and complete. ~Bert of STNatives

[@Zenluvtasy]

yes but SF9's comeback that they had after Kingdom was supposed to happen instead of Kingdom, it was pushed back because of the show. But I agree that the girls should have had a comeback way sooner after GP999.

[@someoneyoullmeeteventually6834]

[@theetaurus1832]

their discography is amazing but lis is ASS purely, like compared to their previous releases they need to just return to the video game concept aka their roots and rethink what they’re doing as artist.

[@atthepartycheers]

Something to note for Ella and PIXY is that the members of PIXY have more control creatively! I think Mirae/Ella is now getting what she may have wanted with PIXY and that’s really great for her! I hope Cherry Bullet’s comeback does well TT

[@um_runa]

Allart Entertainment might just be one of my favorite & top Companys. 1. They add subtitles 2. They fixed an error with Satbyeol’s Photocard (this isn’t exactly the best explanation but if you look at the post it makes more sense) 3 They gave us an MV for Bewitched I honestly can’t think of anything else but they’re a pretty damn good company. They also seem like they take care of Pixy well

[@outroseok]

do you know what's going on with ella though? she hasn't posted on pixy's insta in a while and the other members are pretty active.

[@um_runa]

@@outroseok On their 1st Anniversary, Pixy held a VLIVE to celebrate their Anniversary & Sua’s Birthday. A few people was saying “Where’s Ella” and the information we got was that Ella was sick so she was resting ;((. Idk if she’s still resting as of right now or simply just not posting for whatever reason. I may be totally wrong though because it’s been 19 days/3 weeks since then and there’s NO reason she should be sick for that long 😭

[@edvaedan9161]

Love so sweet should be a monster hit. One of the songs of 2021 for sure. And I like Hands up a lot too. I don’t understand why people get so affected by concept changes. CLC went they the same thing. Violet and Q/A are two of my favorite Bsides. CB deserves all the success. Thanks for the quality video!

[@searchingforelris]

Thank you for watching!

[@um_runa]

People really do get affected with the concept changes. With Twice, some people says their title tracks isn’t getting better and someone said it’s probably because of the concept change, i mean sure it’s your opinion if you don’t like recent Twice TT’s but it’s really because of the concept change cmon? At least JYP isn’t making them STILL do cute concepts for all these years, i bet they’d get tired of it. I like concept changes. I’d honestly be a bit disappointed if there wasn’t any concept changed through their whole career. And it’s funny if you think about that cause if a group were to have the SAME CONCEPT for their whole career, through disbandment & the 7 year curse.. some people may actually complain. Though i am wrong about that because i hear groups like Dreamcatcher has an full on horror concept and i’d think that would be pretty normal if they’d go with that their whole life. Actually, i think i meant to say if groups didn’t have an OFFICIAL concept then it’d be an problem. I don’t know what i’m saying, but i was trying to say it’d get boring overtime especially if other groups were doing it. (Example: Girl Crush) (Group Example: Blackpink) Blackpink has an girl crush concept, but they did in-fact change their concept with Ice Cream & Stay (I don’t know if i can count stay, but it was different from girl crush) i think Concept changes allows us to hear more songs styles from the group and most importantly see how they can be versatile in such things. I swear great bops come out of concept changes and people just doesn’t want to admit it. Yeah, if you liked their cute concepts more I’d understand but at the same time why don’t leave it as that but yet you have to hate on the song that has the concept change? Or bring up how they should have stuck to their concept. (If the new concept wasn’t doing well for them I understand) but in general if both concepts did well and you’re complaining how they should have stuck to their concept Okay, your opinion, don’t bring it up 1 year later or when an new song drops. Done.

[@edvaedan9161]

@@um_runa that’s a lot to digest 😁. All I can say is my opinion. Regarding Twice I can say I became a fan exactly because of the changes in the last year or so. I’m an older fan and prefer a more mature concept. Dreamcatcher is my ult group so I am happy to comment on them. The concept is more nightmare than horror but that only touches their title tracks. They have so many great Bsides in different styles I really think there is something for everyone. It’s a group with all quality vocals and dancers

i stopped stanning cherry bullet after my top 3 favorite members left. i remember FNC making statements/comments about kokoro and linlin having visa issues (as they were both foreign to korea) and then CheBul having an event in Japan near where Kokoro grew up. I don't have the screenshots anymore as I don't have my twitter but it was an extremely frustrating time I remember and fans weren't given straight answers.

High hopes for Cherry Wish, and I really hope they give Remi more lines.

[@ittetsu_otokogi]

I think it's Cho Ah-Young who also participated in PRODUCE48. She left the company before Cherry Bullet debut, so I think she is the more likely the old line-up? Cho Ah-Young joined the show CAP-TEEN last year, also.

[@tuiteemu]

Love in Space was and is one of my favorites. I think also what affected the effect of the song was the music video. It made no sense.. also seemed poorly made. I really hope they continue with Girl Crush concept like "Hands Up" which was brilliant or continue these catchy pop songs like "Love so Sweet" "Love in Space". Cherry Bullet really has the catchiest songs.

thank you so much for this great edit and clear explanations!! im a baby lullet as well, just fully stanned chebul during cherry rush era but a casual listener since debut because of haeyoon who was my pick during pd48. the 3 ex-members who left really affected their group's downfall because even non-fans are always fascinated about them especially kokoro. my own friend who was checking out their music show stages back then is always pointing out kokoro's stage presence and performances. anyway, i just hope that the people who watched gp999 and said that they will support cherry bullet once they come back will know that they are having a comeback tomorrow. thank you again for this video!!! and hopefully, cherry bullet will have a successful comeback tomorrow and will be back on track once again. they are one of the best 4th gen girl groups out there who just deserves to be recognized and loved. just knowing that "park haeyoon" and "kim bora" are the main vocalists of this group is an automatic interest when getting to know this group. and there's just more to it with the other 5 members.

[@searchingforelris]

Thank you for the super nice comment - it's soo appreciated! ❤️☀️ And yes, let's hope for a successful return of CHERRY BULLET - they truly deserve it!

[@cherielullet1955]

Cherry Bullet have the most potential of any girl group I've seen. Their vocal and dance lines are phenomenal, and they don't lack visuals. Following them since pre-debut, I've been devastated watching their downfall. FNC has made so many unforgivable mistakes. They've demonstrated with P1Harmony that they know how to manage a group to be successful but clearly choose to ignore Cherry Bullet. I'm fairly sure this new subsidiary is the personification of putting the group to the side and forgetting about them. I'm so glad Cherry Wish has been highly successful, but I still think there should've been more promotions. Cherry Bullet didn't feature in any variety shows, (if they did, it wasn't promoted) and are yet to have another one of their own. FNC should learn from P1H and apply that to Chebul. It's heartbreaking.

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Yeah and now P1harmony is favorite even compared to Chebul and SF9. But u can still see with all their groups in one way or another they have no clue how to promote them. P1harmony might be promoted more ever than Chebul but they’re still not getting promoted well like they should be. FNC is completely at fault.

[@adyaparamitaputripratama2786]

Babe, you might want to make an update video on this. 4 out of the 7 members choose to terminate their contracts and is now disband

[@lolsallaround5132]

I was really excited when cherry bullet debuted and I really liked Q&A. I was looking forward to their first comeback and would keep an eye out to see when it would be announced. I was so surprised when I hadn't check on them in a while to learned that they had already had their first comeback and I hadn't heard about it at all. The same thing happened with love so sweet and love in space. Their company sucks at promoting them.

[@24chibimanga]

They had such a promising debut and then FNC had to screw it all up. I absolutely loved Q & A, I had it on repeat for a very long time when it first came out. I'm not one to care about concept changes at all, it's just that Really Really was not my cup of tea. But I still listened to every comeback they had because I wanted to continue being a fan. Aloha Oe was a big no for me, I am of Hawaiian decent, born and raised in Hawaii. I gave it a single listen, and I promised myself to never listen to it again. It angered me that FNC let this happen to them, especially so early in their career. Ik from a lot of locals online there was a lot of hate for the girls, but most was coming from non-kpop fans who didn't know about them at all. The anger was understandable, but because there was no apology from FNC, it's like we're at a state of boycott basically. I still want to support them but honestly every comeback has been hit or miss so far for me, but I do wish them success!

[@ananegut6191]

what an interesting video! i remember being on kpop twitter in 2018-2019 and seeing the hype build around them with their debut. one of the members was somehow linked to jungkook from BTS (?) so lots of ARMYs tuned in as well. Q&A was well received but personally i didn’t care to tune in for the second comeback as it wasn’t that memorable… after that the only time i would hear about them in fandom spaces were the controversies about missing members. if it wasn’t for this video chebul would just be a very distant stan twitter memory to me. i hope they build hype again, will be streaming!

[@gwenmloveskpopandmore]

Sadly after Bingle Bangle and the scandal AOA’s popularity died down and they only Have 3 members left. If it wasn’t for Brave Bro making music for them and not neglecting BG, BS, and Samuel they probably never would’ve gotten any success. Tbh if I wish FNC would learn their mistakes from managing GGs.

[@Carolina-bw6gy]

May I request a video about trends in girlgroups? Like 2nd gen: hiphop, vintage, sexy, quirky, experimental, graduation system 3nd gen: sexy vs cute, girl crush, teen crush, elegant, big groups(7 to 12 members), more interest in at least putting two foreign idols from asia or outside of asia. 4th gen: futuristic scifi, smaller groups, experimental teen crush, rock ggs finally becoming popular(dreamcatcher, pixy, gidle cb, purple kiss etc)

[@spiceyhotpot]

Hopefully they do well with the re-debut, loved Hands Up and Love So Sweet. Hoping for more from CB!

[@Carolina-bw6gy]

I am more of ggstan, and I used to stan many groups in big 3 and beyond it. But as time passed by, it is hard to be interested in small company ggs, specially the ones which the companies barely do anything, not even comebacks, posts, variety, kdramas, solo promotion, even shows, they simply disappear with the group!! I know the forth generation releases less albuns, dvds, varieties, prefering more quantity of groups under their companies, singles and short termed promotions. But the case is, FNC and many other medium companies fail to promote their girlgroups, causing loss of groupmembers, loss of fans and popularity, and the "spot" that group has in the market be it by concept or popularity, is replaced by another rookie younger gg that has either more budget or more content and present groupmembers in the Korean and International media.

Gp999 fans would've lost their minds at this triple drop. I got into them during Hands Up and same, when they went back to cute, I was left disappointed. The company wanting to keep kfans happy over views and interest from internationals not uncommon. I don't understand the obsession with idol companies wanting to make it in Korea when more money and interest comes from other countries.

I was disappointed when love so space was released because it has the same instrumental in chorus of Love so sweet! I didn't like Love so space as much as love so sweet! I don't know if they will disband, but good choice for Ella to join Pixy, i think she wanted to be the main vocal and the lead and she is in Pixy with more dark concept, it suits her!

[@michime7860]

FNC didn't manage them well and cuz of C.A i lost interest in them but the new comebacks are good. I hope FNC stops messing up

[@khinozseiji]

they just disbanded 😭😭😭

[@Mina-fc3gc]

Haha I watched a bit of their pre-debut show. I thought they were cute, but then the members I thought were the cutest left the group :/

[@chimmylights7323]

I also thought they would join queendom, it would’ve been another nice exposure? But they didn’t get invited I guess :(

[@ayat7491]

queendom is for popular somewhat popular groups, there's no way they could've made it on there. everyone on queendom has received at least a few wins before, cherry bullet have only been nominated for a win 1-3 times... road to queendom at most :')

[@maximborn]

fanatics need a comeback

[@newjeansfan238]

I have known Cherry bullet since their release of love so sweet, it was good! I check their old release but didn't like it except hands up and i was disappointed it's juste a digital single! Mirae's face reminds of Ella from Pixy and i was right, it's her! I'm glad she left to be in Pixy and she is the lead vocal! I stan Pixy more!

that’s what ur focused on? 😭

[@에스에프에비]

@@sdjdisnd no, I focused on the whole video I’m just saying it’s just unfortunate that they left them out~

[@sleeepy181]

I'm just glad they came to their senses after hands up and stopped trying to be being edgy like so many girl groups nowadays.

[@lunarialoonatic]

Hands Up was unique imo. They did loose that after. It wasn’t edgy. Q&A and Hands Up was a subtle girl crush but still incorporated the video game concept unlike recent comebacks

[@sleeepy181]

​@@lunarialoonatic I personally can't stand girlcrush anymore after it's explosion started in 2019. The songs after Hands up were bitter-sweet to me because while I'm sad they ditched the video game theme, I'm glad they didn't listen to the praise from international fans and suddenly start rebranding to a girlcrush sound and image (*cough* LOONA *cough*).

[@TomsMusicCorner]

@@sleeepy181 You're not really comparing CB with LOONA, right? lol sorry, but that's nonsense. If there is a comparison with LOONA, the new Weeekly girls provide it. Ven Para and Solar fit much more to the style of LOONA than any song of Cherry Bullet. Hands Up was different but very good.

[@sleeepy181]

@@TomsMusicCorner I wasn't comparing their music, I just like how CB didn't start suddenly pushing a girl crush concept after one girl crush song, unlike LOONA, who had a versatile sound, had this dreamy image that was completely ditched for a girl crush one with the release of so what.

[@lunarialoonatic]

@@sleeepy181 the loona comparison hurts as a once die hard orbit but I get it.

[@asjsk8286]

they also didn't give them as much budget as they gave ph1harmony for love in space..., also the concept wasn't as memorable as q&a, it was the overused retro concept

[@luma083]

Tbh, I don't really know why FNC debuted Cherry Bullet. (don't get me wrong, i love them as a group and ot10 :/) Because they don't really promote them, and when they do it's usually a single album or a digital single. I just don't really understand what it was for if they don't even put any effort into it... (But then again, i could just be saying this because i don't really know the financial issues possibly going on within the company if there are any going on....) Enough of my rant, I just hope cherry wish does well on the charts and hopefully, maybe cherry bullet gets their first music show win with the album. Lullets fighting!

[@internationalrelations4973]

From what I heard from a fellow Kpop fan who studies business and tries to observe how Kpop management works, companies usually debut new groups when their older groups have reached 5-6 years since at that age groups tend to mature and usually their populariy declines or gets overshadowed by new surge of groups from other companies. So to keep making money to keep the business going, companies then debut new groups. AOA has passed their 6 years mark when Cherry Bullet debuted, so it's logical to debut a new group. Whether the group is well-managed or not is a different story

[@luma083]

@@internationalrelations4973 ahh ok thanks for the explanation!

[@outroseok]

they clearly focus more on their boy groups (like most companies smh) cherry bullet has too much potential to be treated like an afterthought.

[@luma083]

@@outroseok i totally agree with you, it's like they promote their boy groups and then they leave cherry bullet in the dust

[@TomsMusicCorner]

CB didn't make that little in its debut year. Between Q&A and Really Really, there was actually enough material. Of course, if people expect weekly or even daily updates, yes sorry, then the fault lies somewhere else. Of course more promotions is always better but as Lee Hi once said when she was asked about "misstreatment" on the part of YG? YG does a lot, just divided among many groups and soloists. So it's ok to wait a little longer. Everything is better than JYP with their overworked groups. Really Really was a great song. I never understood the dislike for it. Aloha Oe may not have been the best idea, but please stop calling the girls racists or anything like that. The song was recorded with the best of intentions and there's a bit more to CA than using a sample (which, by the way, they did for Hands Up as well, but it was never talked about, I wonder why?). Love so Sweet was good, but in my opinion didn't have what it takes to be a hit. They did a much better job of that with Love in Space. I didn't really care about the waiting time after GP999 as long as Love in Space is still in my Top 10 of 2022. @Departures: I'm very glad Mirae has found a new home. Ella is my girl in PIXY :) She's such a sunshine, which she already was in CB. It's a pity that she has some problems right now. It's understandable that their music isn't as well received as the usual standard mush you hear in the K-Pop scene (cute or girl crush) - see Dreamcatcher. I really hope that their company has the patience like HappyFace Entertainment. Unlike Mirae, I saw it coming with Linlin and Kokoro, and what happened to Kokoro, no one seems to know. She suddenly just disappeared. I will never forget her smile. If it was due to the creativity factor like the others, FNC is stupid. Kokoro could speak Korean the best of the foreigners and had a great voice to go with it. Remi is still struggling today. But FNC doesn't seem to care much that May has improved a lot in singing and dancing thanks to GP999. The K-Pop fans have to point out the obvious racism, but they prefer to find a fault with any of the idols... no matter what it is about. IDOLS ARE NOT PERFECT. IT IS AN ILLUSION TO THINK THAT EVERYONE COULD BE PERFECT 24/7! That makes us human and therefore more approachable than the next plastic doll with a straightened nose.

[@kimble90126]

Wow

[@TrustTheDice]

Korean idol groups really should learn to respect other cultures and start thinking on global standards if they want to earn money from international fans

[@glen_glenwood]

But in Cherry Bullet's case, it is because of the producers of Aloha Oe are tied to another agency. Truly Saddening.

[@mmisafire]

its very ridiculous. you would think that at the very least from a business standpoint they wouldnt do that. its exhausting

[@mmisafire]

you forgot to mention but their debut was initially not very successful because of plagiarism accusations with SMent! a lot of the teaser images for Q&A had visual assets arguably exactly the same as NCT-127s Cherry Bomb. i love this group and ive always wanted cute ggs with sounds like love so sweet!! but fnc just had to do their usual business of attempting to sabotage their groups at any time possible

[@cblkato6162]

that's probably because FNC and SM have the same design and planning team under FNC ad culture now SM Life Design. but with FNC budget they would probably use SM rejects.

[@lrose1310]

Were Hawaiin fans really accusing them of CA by sampling Aloha Oe? Or were these other international fans? I only ask, because Aloha Oe is sampled all the time. Even SpongeBob uses it. This is just the first time I've ever heard of anyone getting upset over the use of Aloha Oe and claiming it as CA. So I'm just a little confused.

[@ayat7491]

yes they did and they were right to accuse them. that mv has the least views because of that reason and a lot of hawaiian people were disappointed in the comments. also, i'm not sure how it's used in other places but it's still offensive, and it's even worse that cherry bullet (fnc's fault) did it the way they did because the original aloha oe and its meaning is sad and means a lot to the people of hawaii but cherry bullet's song was bright and happy, opposite from the true meaning. it feels a lot like mocking and i understand why people are upset.. but fnc knew it was a problem and didn't care. pretty sure the members know about the issue and some have avoided playing it bc of that. the interesting thing however is knetz don't know about this issue and actually like the song compared to some of their others, but international fans actually recognize the issue with it and don't acknowledge it at all.
