Late at night on September 19 (KST), a topic titled “Are they joking around with MEOVV” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, garnering significant attention.
According to the author of the topic, despite debuting on September 6, MEOVV will only attend their 3rd music show on September 22, showing a severe lack of promotion.
“Why aren’t they doing more music shows? It’s so f*cking disappointing. Has there been a group that did so few music shows in the past? In fact, was BP like this when they debuted too? I’m really curious”, the author also wrote.
Under the comment section, many seem to agree with the author, with some lamenting about the lack of promotion and many accusing The Black Label of trying to make MEOVV “expensive” like BLACKPINK, who also did not perform at many music shows.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- They are pretending to be expensive but it isn’t working. BABYMONSTER used this tactic too and their presence only got forgotten
- That’s because they are trying to go the YG route. Back in the day, this worked well with BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK. How ever, this just doesn’t apply for the rookies nowadays
- So they are trying to do luxury brand marketing like BLACKPINK?
- If the music is good, then the “mysterious” concept will work. If that’s not the case, however, they should work hard on music shows and appear on variety shows.
- Back in the days of BLACKPINK, there weren’t that many girl groups, so the mysterious concept worked to some extent, but now there’s HYBE, various audition girl groups, and localized girl groups, so the competition has gotten much fiercer. It’s not easy to increase the fandom without promotion anymore…
