i see that her mini album income will be enough for her for a while and is even beyond her expectations. it is possible that she will be on some korean variety show, from which she will consolidate this income.
then i saw that she will have a tour that will be extremely successful. she may have difficulty extending her asian tour. the dates will sell out quickly.
at this point i don't see anything else, but it will be a good comeback. | 150626

in short, good sales, intense gigs for a week or two at most (they'll have a japanese comeback anyway..) .. and that's it. i don't see music show wins unless the comeback goes extremely viral. i don't think they'll make it into the korean charts.

they seem to be more liked and respected there. it will be more successful compared to the korean one locally in korea, it is possible that they will have a group cf or other significant gig in japan. good sales for the japanese market.

the truth is that i see backstage fights between heeseung and belift/hybe. ride or die is evident from hybe's suggestions, from which heeseung had a choice to choose. therefore, they didn't allow him to debut with a song that was made by him the way he wanted. he most likely has credits on the song, but they are just enough to cover up the fact that the song is supposedly his choice, which is not exactly the case.
his debut song will have enough streams and recognition, but there is some resistance to his solo debut, most likely because "enhypen are 7" according to engene and those who wanted/still want heeseung to return to the group. if there are physical orders, they are probably six figures in number in the first week. music show win is unlikely at this stage, unless there is good promotion.
there may be interest in him outside of korea, but this thing may show up at a later time (months?). after his debut, i see a longer break in which he will prepare on his mixtape by the end of the year.

this time i will change my approach, as i see again the backstage problems concerning sme, of which hearts2hearts are an undisputed victim.
i will start with a quick paragraph about the backstage problems, as i see again more of the same thing i have been talking about for at least a year (that everything depends on a main sponsor who can steal the idols' income whenever and however he wants, that i suspect a person from the magnitsky list, in this case delyan peevski, that he controls the creative things, that he can say "no" at a second and whatever else). since i continue to feel that their backstage problems (of sm entertainment) will be revealed sooner or later and since i see the same situation, i come to the conclusion that things will be revealed by a completely different person outside the korean industry. i have suspicions about what is happening to some extent, but i do not consider it appropriate to share, since there are many documents here and even i myself do not know what will be revealed.
it's just what does this have to do with the comeback of hearts2hearts - the following cards worry me: knight of cups, queen of cups, the tower, 9 of wands, because i associate them with the same backstage problems that i have seen for a year. i suspect the court cards are certain people (one of them is most likely karina from aespa, and the other at this stage i don't think it's appropriate to say who it might be), and since after them there we have the tower and the nine of wands, the situation is life and death. there has been a power struggle in sme for years precisely because of the influence of sponsor-nim there and again the opportunity opens for this to be revealed. will it finally happen around h2h's comeback? i am not convinced, because it is precisely from that 'other person' that i do not want to reveal for now that i feel fear, anxiety, but not because of this, but for other completely different reasons and have nothing to do with the reading itself. there is a chance, but i'm not 100% sure it's certain, precisely because there's been a delay and postponement for months.
i also got another side question whether sme are taking advantage of lemonade (aespa's second full album) in some way to h2h's advantage and my answer is "somewhat". there is no specific reason "why", but rather a combination of reasons, and here the nine of pentacles stands out for me because it shows me that compared to other groups (some of which were creatively directed by mhj, and others by kwangya), h2h as one of these groups doesn't seem to have a creative identity and takes everything around them to create.. something. no matter what. if riize have some creative style, then hearts2hearts.. at least behind the scenes this style is not right. the problems are many - their behind the scenes problems, the management ones, everything. there may even be some that i haven't seen that are a factor in the "supposedly their thing, but not really theirs" concept/music. whether they want to replace aespa with h2h, i don't think so. it's just the result of a combination of problems.
as for the girls' comeback, it seems to be successful on its own - good sales for the mini-album and even a music show win here and there. i'm not sure if lemon tang's success will replicate rude!'s, but the local charts look decent and whatever promotions they have are proper and will solidify their relevance as a group.
the lenorman spread clarifies the answer i got through the tarot cards, so i'm afraid there's nothing new.
150626 | finally to see something other than peevski's influence on sme in hearts2hearts.

stayc have a stable no. of sales, but i don't rule out a slight rise or fall in them. it will be appreciated by their fans and even k-pop fans in general, but that doesn't guarantee a win on a music show, especially since there is competition in the local charts. i see them in it, but i'm not sure how and how much higher.
unfortunately, highup is making a mistake in marketing the girls. sieun wants to go back to acting, but they won't let her. i'm not sure if it's the same with seeun, since she was an actress too. i have no observations about the other girls.

in short, it looks like it will be relatively successful locally. their fanbase is small (for sme's expectations, i guess, but they did it themselves), but rich and extremely loyal. i see mass buying of albums just for the sake of collecting photo cards or achieving victories in music shows, which at this stage even to them seems ridiculous. at least that's what it seems.
i would say high sales and although they are inflated for the purpose of personal collections/victories in shows, they are still real. there may be victories, but they are not 100% certain, because of the successful songs that are on the charts at the moment.
140626 | i won't lie, i feel sorry for them. i'm testing whether there will still be interest in them. the topic was originally archived.
Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. I wanted to askthere's a rumor that Karina will be attending the World Cup in Mexico. She's going because she's part of the Nike family. But Winter is also going, and I'm not sure if she's going on her own or if she was invited by the brand. So, is it true that she was invited by the brand, or was she requested by the staff to go there, or did she just want to watch?
they wanted to watch. sorry for answering after the game they attended.

crow will do surprisingly well, maybe the best track success-wise from the "i-dle" era (they were (g)i-dle after all). i see more promotion in korea to be honest. the girls have probably pre-recorded perfomances and other gigs that are typical for the korean audience. it's possible they'll do well on the local charts (i don't know how they do in china, so on the korean charts). i don't know if they'll have a rak/pak, as there are quite a few strong songs these days, but they'll be a good contender for that.
mini album release queen of swords, the hanged man, the moon, the high priestess, the empress
unlike crow's promotions, the promotions for the entire mini album will seem out of place. it's ironic because they stopped their north american stops to focus on their upcoming comeback, and not just because of that.
however, i've noticed a significant amount of solo gigs (especially for yuqi and soyeon), so how they'll do as a group in july will be a bit of a hiccup. it's also possible that shuhua will debut solo in the coming months (i said july onwards a few months ago, so..).
it'll be hard for them to win any music show wins. if they're lucky, it could be crow's as early as june. july will be hard for them, just like it was for mono.

i don't see sugar high doing well, to be honest. like, there are so many releases that are doing good already, it'll be hard for ahof to even compete here. they're stable, but it's just the market nowadays. therr could be some beneficial promo for ahof but... that's it until the 3rd ep.
actual release queen of swords, 3 of cups, knight of cups, the emperor, knight of pentacles
the mini album itself will do at its worst like their previous ep, their fanbase is stable so far. ahof can even get 1/2 music show wins from what i see. i'm not sure if they can enter the korean charts with the spread but i don't rule it out from happening. it's good, but the vibe is slow but steady, yk?
4 of wands, ace of cups rx, knight of cups, 10 of pentacles, the moon
this comeback will perform better than their previous ones. i see a steady increase in nayas (it could be reflected in streams or album sales), but it's still far from enough for a music show win. i mention it because izna are aiming for something that is extremely unrealistic to happen at this point, especially because of the local charts and how tough they have been lately.
it's possible they'll make it into the local music charts, but the places aren't high. they have a chance to be in the top 3 of the show or even show champion for one of the weeks, but for now i don't see them at the top.
there's a chance they'll have some gig that will bring them a lot of money, but it seems like it's only for one of them and not the whole group. however, it seems to be quite profitable.
2 of pentacles, 10 of wands, the high priestess, queen of swords rx, strength
overall, i see the final success of their comeback as worse than expected and predictable for some reason. it's possible that sales are less than expected, as well as streams and everything else. it's possible that they're not performing as well simply because there's already enough competition and they just can't compete with the others. either hybe picked a terrible period for them to have their comeback, or the sabotage is intentional against them (since redred and it's me are doing well on the local charts). at best, boynextdoor are in a stagnant period.

the single seems to be expected to do well but since it's digital, yge are trying to build babymonster stable fanbase (more stable than now, i mean). currently yge are expecting the song to become viral but the thing is that i don't see that happening outside of their usual fanbase or even outside of the k-pop fans. therefore, they'd do like usual. i don't see sugar honey ice tea to be unsuccessful, but if yge had big expectations ... idk, i don't see the song becoming viral viral?
