To be honest, all the members are attractive and ok, but the system itself is very uncomfortable for fans but we have no choice. They can do well long-term if they put the members in their own respective teams like normal idol groups.
- [+254, -5] It's the best system for the company. It's a business structure that makes them a lot of money...
- [+245, -9] They're a flop with the general public but they're able to suck up all the money from the fandoms...they're already a success with just that alone.
- [+203, -11] It's a flop but the system itself is great for collecting profits...
- [+97, -2] To be honest, it's a failure no...? It's been 6 years and they're all handsome kids but the members themselves are nugus with the public because of the infinity system.
- [+78, -60] They made their debut the same year as Blackpink...they're definitely flops.
- [+67, -2] But if it wasn't for NCT system, more than half of them wouldn't have debut so...
- [+58, -7] But honestly, compared to other male idols that debuted in the same or similar year, other groups are doing better than NCT... no?
- [+42, -1] But NCT is doing just fine? They're not meant be a trend idol but rather a fandom based group? They're top 3 among male idol groups in Korea..
- [+33, -1] But a system like that is meant to engage fans to spend more money. Because the team itself is not fixed, they get fans to want each team to do well so they spend more and more money. SM is not stupid to keep promoting a group that's not making them money.
- [+32, -0] I know SM is making a lot of money from their fandom but this system doesn't let the member's charms stand out...
- [+30, -16] It's a failure...a Czennie's opinion ㅠㅠ
- [+27, -2] The system itself is a pity but why are people acting like the group is operating at a loss? SM is making a lot of money from NCT. Is there even a group that has sold over 900,000 copies in the first week?
