Seventeen has barely experienced growth since the 2nd half of 2017 and more fans are leaving for newer groups, I know because I've actually SEEN them lose a chunk of fansites & kfans to w1 and half their intl fanbase to nct & skz. Their numbers are stable for now but nothing like the any of the other big groups' growth. Their only advantage is Japan which Pledis is already milking the hell out of.

The only one benefiting and getting exposure is Nu'est while Pristin is getting thrown under the bus for good, AS has completely disappeared and Seventeen has been touring non stop & getting less every comeback. Under a proper company seventeen would've been utilized much more better than whatever Pledis is doing with them.

HUH? Seventeen were only "prioritized heavily" after they became a huge success and brought in more money than any of their other groups. Of course, you would ignore the fact that Seventeen had their debut pushed back 3 or 4 times to the point where the members themselves said they weren't sure they were going to debut also conveniently ignoring 17's cheap debut compared to nuest's expensive debut but sure, they were "prioritized heavily". I know it was Afterschool's money but Nuest, who are still paying off their debts, funding a 13-member group? in what world...

To wrap this up Seventeen is not H.O.T. or g.o.d. level of fame to jumpstart a whole company's branding or whatever it is pledis wants to use them to do. Maybe in a couple years when both nuest and seventeen are bigger.
