The reason dark concept K-pop girl groups usually fail?

Although no one really gives a s*** about my opinions; I'm going to post this anyway. Could it be because the companies don't get behind the groups, like they did with Dreamcatcher? Which, from my understanding was a reasonably successful group. Is it possible that since happyface Entertainment probably had nothing to loose? Face it they were a company with an extremely talented group of girls, but were setting with their heads up their ass for over a year while the girls sat on the shelf. Until someone got the idea for Dreamcatcher. The company being probably desperate by then went with it. And as they say; the rest is history. Which I think will be studied and referenced by music (and perhaps business) historians many years from now. In my opinion; it was sheer genius by whoever got the idea and convinced the company to try it (and on the part of the girls to actually go for it). Now, back to the original thought.

(almost) Don't take my word for it, watch and notice for yourself. This isn't about me telling you; it's about you thinking and seeing for yourself. I'm not a guru; I'm a whisper in the dark. Hand gestures are always fungible, having different meanings for different people: peace sign / victory / the number two (all three basically the same gesture). Language is just as fungible (how many definitions do some words have in a dictionary). Nonsense words can have specific meaning to those using them (like code) such as: abra..., hoc...

Witchspotting

You have heard of the hobbies of planespotting or trainspotting? Well …. This blog is mainly about music videos, singers and groups. Discussion and comments are welcome. Anyone can post, even anonymously, but this blog is moderated and any post may take several days to be published, if approved. #witchspotting *** It has been suggested that I notice this stuff from having a genetic predisposition to be attracted to witches, due to the fact that my bloodline is somewhat; let's say, questionable. (the more you like something, the more you notice) Which is possible, but I doubt that. — I'm a genetic dead end by choice.
