Why Yena shouldn't join EVERGLOW: a thread

[DISCLAIMER]: the views I'm about to share are my own, and are not representitive of any WIZ*ONE or Yena stan out there. If you wanna attack someone for it, attack me, not them.

Also to my fellow WIZ*ONE: feel free to mute/unfollow/block me

1. Joining EVERGLOW would be a downgrade

Everglow is at best a mid tier girl group globally, but a bottom tier girl group in Korea (the main market), while IZ*ONE is a top 3/4 girl group. Everglow doesnt have success in terms of sales, streams on Korean platforms, (...)

(...) or even just music show wins. They only have highly questionable YouTube views going for them.

2. Yuehua is a shitshow

They didn't provide EVERGLOW with proper promotions during Bon Bon Chocolat era, they are promoting Mia so much better than other members, and worst of all, they are a Chinese company. The relationship between Korea and China is getting worse (...)

(...) and worse, just look at how they needed to apologize for performing at a Korean military base. As the relationship gets worse, I don't know what will happen to Yuehua in Korea and I don't want Yena to live through that.

3. EVERGLOW will be a group for 2 years

Joining an existing group sucks. I know its not that uncommon, but 2 years is too long of a time. Everglow is established as a 6 member group, not 7.

4. Yena's popularity won't be good for EVERGLOW

Yena is one of the most popular members of IZ*ONE. EVERGLOW will evolve from Miaglow to Yenaglow, and that will make a lot of fans unhappy. Not everyone is keen of her joining, from both sides. (...)

(...) On the one hand, Yena stans will get mad if she doesn't get the lines/screentime she deserves, since she will be carrying EVERGLOW.
On the other hand, Forevers will get mad at her for taking parts away. It will be a toxic relationship. (...)

(...) Sure, EVERGLOW's sales will skyrocket and they will become more successful, but that isn't worth the price both sides have to pay. It would only be good for Yuehua.

5. EVERGLOW's music won't showcase her talents

I know a lot of Forevers changed their mind about Yena joining after the Gangsta cover, but that's only one side of Yena. She rocks cute concepts too. EVERGLOW is only about *wearing black* boom-boom-someenglishwords-boom-boom (...)

(...) She wouldn't be able to showcase her beautiful voice either. EVERGLOW's musical variety is very slim, and of course could they increase it, but I doubt they will, since YUEHUA sees that that girl-crush-EDM-BP2.0-sound kinda works.

6. Contract extension is plausible

WANNA*ONE got an extension, and I think IZ*ONE will too. Corona really fucked them, so I wouldn't be surprised if they agree to a one year extension to hold their world tour and to participate in end of the year award ceremonies.

[END]

Let me get this straight: I don't have anything against the EVERGLOW members, they are all lovely girls and Yena gets along with them well. It's the group and company as a whole that I don't like.
