Fake Kpop News A recent episode of Unniez has gone viral amongst the fic-kpop community. The talk show hosted by ENCHANTRESS members Yujin and Bada welcomed the soloist Gummi for this week's episode. When the episode was first uploaded on YouTube it was Gummi who was recieving compliments and interest due to the popularity of her choreography for "Pop!". However a different section of the interview has been unexpectedly trending.
When discussing their debut dates Bada told a story of malfunction that occurred when ENCHANTRESS debuted. The girls had been practicing with a backing track due to Ever After Entertainment wanting to avoid any mistakes made due to nerves. However when the music played there was no backing track, resulting in the members singing the entirety of the song live. Recently it has been a trend amongst fic-idol groups to debut with at least a backing track. So many Auroras and other fic-netizens were impressed to hear it was a fully live performance that occurred at the spur of the moment.
Many are complimenting the group on their ability to act fast, as well as their dedication to singing live. @ FAKEKPOPQUEEN- It's even more impressive because of how hard their songs are! @ AuroraForever - ENCHANTRESS proving yet again that they are the queens at live singing.
@ Calla_Lily - If it was me I would probably freeze or run off the stage. Props to our girlies for pushing through!
@ BadaYujinXiaVioletZoe - I've been stanning ENCHANTRESS since before debut and I never realized the mistake in that stage! @ Mythosssss - Ever After Artists don't know the meaning of lip-sync.
Fake Kpop News Zoe of ENCHANTRESS was announced to be the dance mentor on the new survival show SWEETZ!
She along with Yejoon of CALLA and Daiyu of JELO will be both teaching and judging a group of 20 female trainees.
Many Aurora have expressed excitement over this news and are trending #ZoeDanceLegend on SNS. Excitement is especially high because Zoe had previously been announced as a dance mentor on a survival show, yet the show ended up never happening.
We're all very excited to see what the fic-idol does on the show! @roa_is_amazing@yunaing@Gwacekpop2@chaerifyyy

Below are what the ENCHANTRESS member's new rooms look like!
Bada
Lots of photographs on the walls, books, neutral tones with some red, super cozy, maybe a globe or a map on the wall with places she wants to travel to circled.
Yujin
Chic, *expensive*, more colorful than the pictures. She would try to make it as extravegant as possible.
Xia
Dark blue, lots of instruments, books, prints of classic art on the walls, very comfortable too. She's the member least likely to leave her room.
Violet
Very girly, purple, lots of fairy lights, walking in would be like entering a dreamworld. But she's the member who I think would spend the most time in other member's rooms.
Zoe
Very bright and fun, would have a big open space for her to dance if she gets random inspiration.
Welcome to another part of a series where I (the creator of ENCHANTRESS) will offer
previously unreleased thoughts and random information about the group.
I just really enjoy sharing my process, even if you don't care all that much.
In this installment I will be discussing ENCHANTRESS's album sales. Thank you for the idea @yunaing !
I'm going to be providing copies sold in terms of preorders, 24 hours, 1 week, 1 month, and a current amount sold.
I will do this for each album and also provide an explanation.
First I want to give a brief explanation of ENCHANTRESS popularity growth.
Ever After follows a similar path as HYBE. They were small and unpopular, but with some luck and hard work they have become like one of the Big 4. However I expedited the popularity process a bit compared to HYBE.
So when ENCHANTRESS debuted they were nugu but went viral. Now they are popular at the level of a top 3 group in a generation.
Enchanted: First Sight - The 1st EP Preorder: 10,000 copies First Day: 100,000 copies First Week: 220,000 copies First Month: 300,000 copies Current: 580,000 copies Like I said before ENCHANTRESS was originally nugu, but they went viral at debut. This was due to their unique concept and their vocals. So they started low-ish and then jumped after their debut came out. The current amount is due to new Aurora purchasing the album.
Enchanted: Burning Hearts - The 2nd EP Preorder: 140,000 copies First Day: 240,000 copies First Week: 300,000 copies First Month: 370,000 copies Current: 520,000 copies At this point ENCHANTRESS was decently popular due to a successful debut and being from a small company (Similar to StayC). So their comeback was highly anticipated, that explains the high amount of preorders. However I don't view this comeback as one of their more popular comebacks. So while it gained more orders in the first month, it has less copies sold compared to their debut.
Enchanted: Poison Love - The 3rd EP Preorder: 90,000 copies First Day: 290,000 copies First Week: 400,000 copies First Month: 580,000 copies Current: 700,000 copies So with the disappointment of the previous album ENCHANTRESS may have lost a few bandwagon stans. This resulted in less preorders. However I view this comeback as the song that really propelled ENCHANTRESS to popularity. It went mega viral and is one of their more popular albums to date. So I think after the initial fic-listeners realized how good the album was and they encouraged others to listen to it, resulting in more orders. I think this album would also be purchased by Aurora who don't necessarily ult the group, resulting in high purchases.
Summer Magic - The 4th EP Preorder: 200,000 copies First Day: 300,000 copies First Week: 410,000 copies First Month: 520,000 copies Current: 650,000 copies The large amount of preorders is due to the popularity of the previous album and ENCHANTRESS gaining a solid fanbase. This album was well received and continued to grow regularly. But it wasn't as popular as the previous album, so the sales aren't as high in other areas.
Beautiful Nightmare - The 1st Full Album Preorder: 400,000 copies First Day: 600,000 copies First Week: 750,000 copies First Month: 880,000 copies Current: 1,000,000 copies Preorders are higher with this album due to the anticipation of it being ENCHANTRESS's first full album. This comeback is also one I view as being incredibly popular and went viral when released. For me this album is viewed like "Perfect Velvet" by Red Velvet, a staple album in the fandom and fic-kpop. At this point ENCHANTRESS's popularity would be very high, leading to their first million seller.
Sweet Dream - The 1st Repackage Album Preorder: 500,000 copies First Day: 650,000 copies First Week: 760,000 copies First Month: 860,000 copies Current: 950,000 copies Preorders would be high due to the group's and the previous album's popularity. However I view this comeback as one of ENCHANTRESS's least impactful albums. Fic-fans think the two new tracks are a bit basic and not as bombastic compared to ENCHANTRESS's other work. Toxic Bada and Zoe fic-stans would also be upset that there is no rapping in the songs. However due to ENCHANTRESS's popularity it would still have a lot of sales.
The Bloom - The 1st Japanese Album Preorder: 250,000 copies First Day: 300,000 copies First Week: 450,000 copies First Month: 500,000 copies Current: 600,000 copies Japanese albums by kpop artists tend to sell a lot less than Korean albums. So I lowered the sales. Japanese albums also tend to be more expensive. However they are still a popular group, so they would get a considerable amount of copies. I feel like only Aurora who ult or really stan the group would have bought the album.
Villainy: Reflection of Vanity - The 5th EP Preorder: 600,000 copies First Day: 850,000 copies First Week: 1,000,000 copies First Month: 1,400,000 copies Current: 1,800,000 copies Preorders would be high due to anticipation of a darker concept, and their popularity as a group. This comeback goes viral for me due to it's different concept and the rapping. So I think like Beautiful Nightmare, there would be existing Aurora, new Aurora, and even generic fic-stans who would purchase it. This album is also the one that I got the most compliments for on the forums.
Villainy: Spellbound - The 6th EP Preorder: 1,000,000 copies First Day: 1,500,000 copies First Week: 1,700,000 copies First Month: 1,900,000 copies Current: 2,100,000 copies Again the love of the previous album and rise in popularity resulted in high preorders. But I view this comeback as less popular than the previous, but still pretty popular. The group's popularity is what brings higher sales.
Villainy: Golden Greed - The 7th EP Preorder: 1,500,000 copies First Day: 2,000,000 copies First Week: 2,400,000 copies First Month: 2,700,000 copies Current: 2,750,000 copies Again high preorders due to love of the group and previous album. Sales are also higher due to the group's heightened popularity and the concept of the album. I also view the title track as ENCHANTRESS's most decisive. So I think curiosity would result in higher sales. The difference between the first month and current is low due to this being their most recent release.
