weishennies need to be reminded that wayv are NOT popular in china & it's nearly impossible for them to ever become a top group in the c-industry, especially with the choices sm/label v made during their first year as a group

the anon in this post rly sums it up well https://twitter.com/lumarkbot/status/1285107206392696832

i didnt think this post would be getting attention hhhh but here's a screenshot of what anon said in the cc.

more thoughts:

the c-industry is less about groups and more about solo members. majority of groups' success comes from the solo stans that individually support their idol. that's why winwin and lucas are the most popular members in china.

here's the supertopic rankings for winwin & lucas versus kun and ten's. both of them are in the top 100, while kun & ten are quite far behind... below I'll post the rest of wayv's supertopic rankings so you can see how important solo stans are

xiaojun (#434), hendery (500+), yangyang (500+), and wayv's supertopic (#423).

also! please just use this as a starting place to learn about the c-industry. i'm still learning about it too, so if anyone who knows more abt it please do correct me or add information here!

CORRECTION ON WINWIN & LUCAS' SUPERTOPIC RANKINGS:

they're actually ranked #128 & #172 respectively because the ranks shown are the 潜力榜 (lit. "potential list") and not 明星榜 (lit. "celebrity list)

thank you @/wintersdaydream for pointing this out!

im gonna mute this now >< but please continue the discourse in the replies! i'll be checking it occasionally. and please feel free to dm me if you want any clarification or explanations! i'll try my best
