(From K-POP News)

"CLC", which debuted as a sister group of the girl group "4Minute" from the CUBE entertainment office in early spring last year, made a strong start to compete with "GFRIEND".
However, in contrast to "GFRIEND", which debuted in January of last year and made a comeback around the summer and achieved steady results, "CLC" remained without an opportunity to make a comeback after their debut activities.
As the end of the year, full of music awards, approached, "TWICE" and "OH MY GIRL" came into the limelight as rivals of "GFRIEND". TWICE, which debuted in September, won the Rookie of the Year Award ahead of GFRIEND.

This time, "CLC" will make a comeback after a 9-month hiatus. A rookie group making a comeback after 9 months is like a re-debut. Even if there are still core fans from the time they performed live on the street before their debut, many fans may have left. It's a shame...
They made a big comeback from a 5-member group to a 7-member group...I see.

Many of the rookie groups on par with "CLC" have large families.
"TWICE" has 9 members, and "OH MY GIRL" has 8 members. "GFRIEND" has become a national girl in a row with 6 members.
"GFRIEND" has come this far, but the agency side may be sighing now, saying, "It would have been better if it had been a 7-member formation."

★Assuming that GFRIEND's popularity has expanded to about three times the number of people, it's 18 people now, but if there was one more person, it would have been 21 people. In other words, the agency's grief is not one, but three. Currently, Girls' Generation, which is exceptionally talented and popular, may be as popular as five members with just one member. Unlike a solo, a group is more desirable if it sells a lot of people.

As a result of the big break of "GFRIEND", each member has come to emphasize their individuality.
When I first debuted, I could only see Umji as an ordinary girl. She wondered what criteria she was chosen for. Even if she wanted a child who could learn languages, she felt sorry that she would have found someone a little cuter if she had searched.
But now, Umji is starting to look like a cute girl. “GFRIEND” with Umji has a strangely realistic presence. Even on stage, it makes me feel like I've seen schoolgirls in the city. I feel like I've touched on the secret of the group's popularity.

　CLC's comeback as a 7-member group", hopefully SORN will play that mysterious role.
Since the 7 members are making a comeback, I want them to compete firmly with "GFRIEND" and "TWICE".
　

★★★At the time of the KARA project, I emphasized in my blog that from now on groups of 6 or 7 people would become the mainstream, and that the new KARA should add 3 or 4 people and make a fresh start as a group of 6 or 7 people. reminds me of It's not a big deal to bring up the past, but if it wasn't just Youngji, but 3 or 4 people and started over, wouldn't KARA have come out with slightly different results? "At least, I don't think I became that poor." I didn't want it to happen halfway through, so I wanted Gyuri and Seungyeon to continue their activities, and I may have allowed Youngji to participate.
