YOU THINK DREAMCATCHER IS NUGU???

My own soulmate??? :somicry::onggun:
SPECIALLY them :modcheck:
See… I thought Viviz and StayC were the only non-sneaks :sadpuppy: Do you know how DEEP into K-pop you have to be to know who Weki Meki is? (They were mentioned in a GMM episode, though :nayshy:)
As for Wuju and Dreamcatcher, I thought their fans like that? Like the whole nugu gg thing? I think Dreamcatcher has mostly climbed out but it feels like their brand?
I didn’t want to say anything so I dodged the convo.
exactly! like they are slightly known but they simply aren't not-nugu :TzuyuKek:
like one watch or listen to one of their MV/songs and you can tell​

For me, Weki Meki is not nugu too. They were in the mid tier, and was doing okay with their previous releases till Fantigo dropped the ball all of a sudden.
While I would call them mid-tier i wouldn't call them B-C, as that implies that they were right behind their peers - they weren't.

This! This is the exact word I am looking for.

I feel like with this new wave of kpop fans it's black or white. You're either a top group or you're nugu, they act like there's no in-between.

The thing is though, there is an in-between. It's this mid-tier, and I feel like all the groups previously mentioned are in this mid-tier ranking and not nugus. IMO there's a big leap between mid-tier and nugu.

Thank y'all for finding the right word for this. :poggers:

I can see that, but mid-tier is the best case scenario. Even if they are mid-tier they are definitely toward the bottom.

Incidentally mid-tier being folded into nugu was a 3rd gen thing, so I don’t think it’s a new K-pop fan thing? For example, I have a hard time calling Weki Meki mid-tier since Mamamoo was mid-tier for most of their career.

Maybe I wasn’t checking in on them enough, but I do think Jelly is not entirely correct about them doing okay. I remember they had a strong start, like all P101 groups but the momentum almost immediately died because their debut wasn’t well received and as we all saw, the groups that followed P101 were simply not sustainable.

Where does Itzy fall for you in terms of group ranking?

I am TERRIFIED of bears, and Panda's high-level of intelligence genuinely scare me, but I have a soft spot for pandas for some reason (as long as they are a respectful distance away from me)

I'm sorry, honestly. It was something that you used to joke about, I didn't know that had changed.
There's saying something as a term of endearment to a group you've supported for years. And then there's people who haven't, vaguely discrediting their career.

Maybe that's my fault. I'm sure people have felt the same way about things I've said.

Doesn't matter, people can of course have opinions. Continue, forget i bit.
