In Mnet's latest hip-hop show "GOOD GIRL" cast list, cube's girl group CLC's participation is the most surprising. Because compared with other Cheetah, Xiao Yuan and other singers in the world, whether Zhang Ruien is eligible to participate in the show has also become a hot topic among netizens.
However, what worries fans more is the situation of the girl group CLC, to which she currently belongs. Since gaining industry attention through the album "BLACK DRESS", CLC has gradually grown into a girl group that best represents the heritage of CUBE. Unfortunately, with the lackluster sales performance and the rapid rise of the late (G)I-DLE, CLC has gradually been forgotten.
Many people said that if CUBE did not give up the song "Rose Life" to IZER, perhaps CLC would have a very good chance of turning over. But the reality is that IZONE's popularity and "Rose Life" do not have much to do with it. Because of their popularity at that time, they could get attention by singing a song at any time. So why did the CLC gradually fall to the point where no one cared?
First of all, from the perspective of the company's operation, as their sister group (G) I-DLE is too good! The strength of the members is not as obvious as everyone thinks, but the biggest difference is that (G) I-DLE has the absolute core of the team, Tian Xiaojuan, and she also has excellent production ability! The late reaction and achievements of the market are enough to prove the development potential of (G)I-DLE.
In contrast, every time CLC returns, fans pay a lot of attention. However, due to the lack of real "connotation" within the group, it always gives people the feeling that their stage is not different. Even when a new album was released recently, CUBE, in order to save money, actually let (G) I-DLE Tian Xiaojuan compose the title song for them. This practice is a big taboo in K-POP circles!
Because the Korean girl group groups that have been successful in the past have a unity. But CUBE's blind marketing strategy has directly affected the decline of CLC to some extent. Therefore, after so many times of sluggish market performance, CUBE can only give priority to cultivating young members of the team.
You should know that Zhang Ruien and Tian Xiaojuan were both trainees in the same period under CUBE. They later participated in the first season of "Produce 101" together. Unfortunately, in the face of the prosperity of (G)I-DLE Tian Xiaojuan, Zhang Ruien, who joined CLC, can only be described as miserable. Let's hope she gets more exposure through "GOOD GIRL.".
