A new idol survival show has been announced. Girls Re:Verse, where already debuted idols compete to join a virtual girl group. The idols are anonymous, so no one's participation is confirmed but... Well, they released introduction videos and of course the fans of the idols are all able to recognize them Spoiler: Possible Rocket Punch members competing I dunno about you guys, but I'm pretty sure this is Juri: https://twitter.com/girlsreverse/status/1577961867753889794?t=_F74Uz01bDPASi0_xV9g_A&s=19 And this is Suyun! https://twitter.com/girlsreverse/status/1577961871574974465?t=RbMZEyMhaz5H8ZB8x4F8_A&s=19 What being a "virtual idol group" entails is currently unknown, but it's probably less like IZ*One/Kep1er with an exclusive contract and more like K/DA with occasional releases and CG music videos.
These possibly were recorded back in July. Heejin and Hyeju of LOONA also are parts of this competition and LOONA's fans discussed that these 2 members talked about recording something without any detail what it was back in July. The number of members for this virtual group is 5. So, unlikely Rocket Punch will be a part of it with some more popular contestants. The show will start in late November. By the way, has anyone kept tracking the sale of Flash? I only saw it was a pretty high spike for the first day sale but, the sale of following days might not keep up. Personally, I find this title song far better than the last 2 yet, still not exactly fit Rocket Punch. The group possibly still is in the process of trial and error to find its identity.

Flash has so far sold 26 574 copies, the majority of them were first day sales. It seems that the people who were going to buy it bought it as soon as it was announced. It's a little less than Ring Ring, which is their most successful release so far. I'm cautiously optimistic that Woollim will be investing more into RCPC now, I feel like they would've been doing more had it not been for Covid.
Thank for information. Too bad the sale does not increase albeit "Flash" being superior to "Ring Ring". I don't think Woollim, or K-pop agencies in general, is on any restraint this year. Overall sale has soared, overall value has soared. Off line activities has resumed. You can also see heaps loads of budgets spent on some groups. It seems I'm not the only one thinking RCPC still is in trial and error period with Woollim being incompetent, still indecisive in what concept to settle RCPC in. In case anyone has not watched this, Rose got good screen time here. if the video does not show watch the video here It seemed they did motion capture with the real idols. And, you may rewatch the introduction videos in case you have not watch them with subtitles. Hiroo Rose Singing/rapping cut Hiroo Rose There is prelim vote to be closed tomorrow. I'm unsure if I want them to move forward in this competition.
This may worth posting. Top 5 voted contestants of RE:Verse at the moment are as following 1. Ruby (Purple Kiss' Swan) Leading by landslide 2. Chonky Cat (LOONA's Olivia) 3. Seoritae (A Pink's Hayoung) 4. Rien (LOONA's Heejin) 5. Nikena (I.O.I's Nayoung) and, there is a big gap between 5th and 6th places.
I think it's because there was talk upthread of Juri and Suyun taking part but was it actually confirmed? In any case I think that general discussion of GIRL'S RE:VERSE should be in the Idol Survival Shows thread where there's already a post about it.
