yeah i've been wondering that as well - what if they dont get any offers to appear on tv? that must burnnnn SMs ego. at this point it seems like they avoid tv, for some reason. maybe to make them stand out from the other rookies who do multiple singles and shows? but. i really don't think it's gonna work.

i can see the local festivals thing if they're like touring around the country to let ppl meet/see them and get to know them, or something. but i think of that event k did recently. first i see an IV drip in a picture, and next 80-something ladies in hospital gowns, and i was like... wat? is that the audience you're going for?

still i sort of recognize this from the teaser era, where we were just sitting here all "wtf are they doing, this isn't gonna work, wat". so a small part of me thinks that maybe SM has something up their sleeve? bec they're clearly going for unconventional methods with this group
