If you know Unis, then you know Ahof and Unis are in the same entertainment company. This is probably going to be somewhat controversial (Please don’t drag me🥺). I’m a fan of both fandoms, though I’m more of an Everafter, but I’m loving Ahof. There’s been tensions, though it haven’t ‘exploded’ yet. Especially the treatment of Unis compared to Ahof..some fans have pointed out that Ahof’s had more ‘special treatment'(I don’t want to call it that, but for a lack of a better term.) That one SBS concert where Ahof could perform but Unis didn’t. Totally understand where Everafters are coming from. I know most of the fans aren’t even directing their frustrations to Ahof but to the company. Cause it doesn’t make sense that they’re not included. I suppose as a fan of Kpop for a lil bit more than a decade, I didn’t realize girl groups don’t sell much as boy groups. Unless it’s from a big company (but even that isn’t assurance enough these days).
Unis is popular globally but domestically, not much. I just feel like the entertainment company is bad at promoting a girl group. Their debut was fine, but the title track was disappointing. Curious was a bit better and swicy was a good step. But even that doesn’t seem to compare to Ahof. Their title track is good. Then again, Unis was the entertainment’s first group. There’s the trial and error phase, or I feel like they don’t know what direction to take with Unis. Especially with the experimentation of trying different genres… still trying to figure out their niche, I guess?
Ahof is pretty good, watched the show, love JL. They’re talented and good looking. So it’s not a surprise. I think Ahof’s advantage is they have more Korean fans compared to Unis. And some Koreans tend to be not as welcome to foreign members, read that somewhere. It isn’t exactly that they’re hated. Maybe they just like to stan Koreans or.. you know the r word? (You’ll be lying if you don’t admit that at least. Even from the biggest girl groups, SEAsians seems to be ‘ignored’). And it’s just sad really.
In another note, Hope Unis becomes as successful as Ahof. Seriously, the nameless fandom is not to be trifled with. They’re going all out in votings and streaming the MV. Hope Everafters wake up and start streaming as well. It’s not over just because the promotions are over. If you love Unis, keep streaming, it’s stuck at 15M views. That’s just sad since their contracts ending, isn’t so far away. Their contracts won’t be extended this way. (Yeah, I’m just crashing out about that fact, excuse me lol) 🥲✌🏻
