BCUZ managed to sell 20 billion won worth of sportswear Hyolyn and Soyou endorsed. These sales are owed to their SNS posts, TV appearances, and word of mouth promotion.
IU already got a slightly messy era when she got dragged for being a pedophile
This parallels to Katy Perry getting dragged into the Ke$ha/Luke debacle and being called a rape supporter last year, as well as multiple controversies for racism
IU sure enjoys to copy and paste her career (like JYP does to her songs)
I'm going to need Kai to stop getting lines in EXO's songs. He has such a nasty tone ugh like he's stuffed with phlegm or something. Even Sehun managed to sound better in Lucky One.
GOD-U has the second best selling Koreanfemale solo album of all time (snatched by Taedele of course)
So that kind of throws your theory out the window
