PumpkinCoach 11/01/19 3:24:06 AM #199:	Mamamoo - BTOB Squad i mean, without any additional context, if asked who the boy group equivalent of mamamoo is, the answer would invariably be BTOB, right? with 3 members missing, they're not as obvious a draw as mamamoo, but the comparison is still apt because they have that wide appeal and public recognition like mamamoo, rather than just a large fandom. i also think it helps a bit in both cases because they're slightly less conventional vocal-based groups, which make it less of a straightforward stomping, though it's less likely to be that compared to mamamoo. like if they win, it's not winning by doing what the other groups are doing, only to greater success. it's like how both groups are certainly popular enough, but were never used in the 1st round of a produce show, where they're looking for balanced performance to set a standard. winner could work here too, but i don't see that happening. beyond that we're just looking at big fandoms. Lovelyz - Pentagon yeah, i'm abandoning all reason and just turning this into a fantasy line-up but hear me out. i wouldn't say pentagon is well-established or mid-tier but they do, however, have a hit. i'm choosing them for the narrative - of the group that was threatening to have a breakthrough but hit a setback, of a producer who has made multiple hits for other survival shows and now competes in one himself. i'm putting them in the lovelyz slot because they're here to prove something and change perceptions, except whereas lovelyz wanted to prove they can do other concepts, pentagon is here to show that they're not doomed. they can also go in the (g)i-dle slot since it's about seeing hui (maybe kino?) work their magic, though self-producing isn't an anomaly with boy groups like it is with girl groups. hui actually already gets attention whenever he shows up solo on a singing show and usually with some cool remix no less, so it's perfect. actually the hit song criteria is a bit tough, because boy groups rely more on fandom meaning they can chug along fine for many years without a public hit. the ones who chart digitally are either anomalous or have massive fandoms, and they still might not chart that high. the mid-tier for boygroups is closer to got7 and monsta x, and that's probably who you actually need for the show to succeed, so alright- Oh My Girls - Got7 / Monsta X both instead of pentagon, if we're being rational, but come on also both especially because i have three cube acts otherwise. (G)I-DLE - Ateez / TXT / AB6IX / Stray Kids any one of these would do for the rookie slot i think. personally would prefer ateez or stray kids. --- https://imgur.com/CQr5Xab this is a world... where Advokaiser eats gurus <cite>PumpkinCoach posted [p:929507250] in kpop topic...
