#Apink was at their peak back in July 2015 when they able to provide hard challenges and though defense upon the release of #PinkMemory and occupy Melon top spot. Apink also manages to deal with clash of titans back then with few wins.
Well, able to survive for almost 11 years already big feat because it's hard to keep relevant when generation changes, although the legacy will always be there.
Thank you @Apink_2011 for your hardwork to entertain and heal every people.
I can only wish you the best from now on
ApinK deserve better, this gambling is huge risk.
IST should give them something solid, especially they have long hiatus.
I hope they do market research before, they gambling too much this time
APINK is creative and versatile but to be honest they are other style that can be done
During Pink Memory promotion, Apink can be seen almosy everywhere while after that you abrely see them at music shows and fansigning only plus public performance
@giks128 this so true and since Kakao take over Acube, they haven't do anything right for Apink which is fact.
Apink never get any chance since 2015, Pink Memory was their latest proper promotion...
Though, let me be honest among all cards they have and their rosters only #Apink has the potential to hit both US and Asian market if the company handles them well period.
There are a lot Apink has that other doesn't have.
- Visual aside...
#APINK need to go out of this Kakao entrapment asap period, they will get nothing by staying, neither Play M nor IST give them room/opportunity to show what they actually can do.
IST will only milking money with this non sense fanmeeting and goods, why nonsense because fanmeeting
the offline fanmeeting sounds ambitious, with current new variant of virus, it's very possible the offline get canceled and forced to do online fanmeeting instead.
South Korea entertainment agency really pulling big risk to held offline fanmeeting with current pandemic situation
Season Greeting of course, good way to taste the water.
It can be used to check how much interest still there #Apink
It's cheaper to produce than mini album/album.
Usually only diehard fan will buy so it's useful to check on that.
Still @ist_ent still need to do market research
Therefore I implore @ist_ent to execute market survey and research and don't repeat PlanA and Play M mistakes for next #Apink album.
Ist must find way to capitalize and maximize Apink ability in this 'next album/mini album' or else it will be dead end for #Apink.
while Pink Revolution considered major drawback then brave gambling with Percent with the song %% achieved another backlash as it's only get 39.553 which is the lowest since Secret Garden.
Percent marked another mistake done by Play M, it maybe win few trophy but not success.
Pink Memory was able to get as high as 90080 + 5330 physical sales and remains most sold #Apink album, while Pink Revolution can only amassed 50.375 + 2.920. Pink Up and One & Six was able to increase that number but not as high as Pink Memory was...
if you were #Apink fan aka pinkpanda before 2016 you should notice the major backlash when Pink Revolution released, mostly because it's not seem like Apink album at all because it's so unApink like or not. Apink lose their cheefulness, bright and shine with PinkRevolution.
comeback without anywin since their success with #SecretGarden back in 2013, although the base grow after One & Six release in 2018 it never going up till the state it was during Pink Memory era.
#Apink who's known to be Queen of Melon chart is found no where with #PinkRevolution
Plan A big mistakes on #Apink is the release of Pink Revolution in 2016 which give Apink massive drawbacks, although I personally loves the album and Only One (tittle song) the market respon was bad that time especially because of drastic concept change from cheerful, bright
and sweet to darker, more gloomy and emotional and if you asked general people for Album they don't like it will be #PinkRevolution because it's doesn't match with their market share that time, most people leave #Apink after the release of Pink Revolution which also the first
#Apink was at their peak under Acube wing, because Acube know exactly how to maximize Apink potential while Plan A and Play M seems can't maximize Apink potential, I hope @ist_ent can take Acube approach for Apink because that what suits them
