tripleS's subunit AAA disbands because they weren't able to sell 100,000 albums

tripleS is a rookie girl group formed by MODHAUS, with 24 members and a unique system called "Dimension." Under this system, fans get to choose the members who will be part of the unit group promotion through voting.
Through voting, members Kim Yoo Yeon from 'My Teen Girl,' Kim Na Kyoung, Gong Yu Bin, and Jeong Hye Rin were chosen to be part of the four-member unit group AAA. The group began promotions starting the 28th of last month and released a mini-album.
In particular, the group garnered attention as singer BIBI's younger sister was part of the group and also gained attention when it was revealed that the unit group would disband if they failed to sell over 100,000 album copies during their promotion period. If the unit group sells 100,000 album copies, they will able to continue their promotions.
Unfortunately, it was announced through Twitter that AAA's first mini-album, 'ACCESS,' had sold only 18,300 copies leading the unit group to disband.
The members each wrote on their official Twitter account, "We felt like crying when we were nominated for first place during the last broadcast. Thank you for being with us and supporting us to the end."

As upsetting as it sounds, I'm kinda curious for their upcoming subunits tho I'll certainly miss AAA

Check out their music video for "Generation" here. It's really good. It sounds like a part of a dream.

Making this what they needed to accomplish is incredibly stupid and unfair for a rookie group from an unknown company. What's even more stupid is the fact that they actually went through with it.
For being from such an unknown company they did really well in terms of album sales, charting, and views.

Yea that’s such a stupid idea of the company to make. I just got into the aaa unit like a few days ago, but then I hope to see what sort of music they’re gonna release as a whole group in the future ig.

The only good outcome of this is that it’s given the group more attention. But that’s only because of how ridiculous it is?? Like didn’t they see how popular the song got for such a nugu group? Sure it could’ve been a marketing strategy but that’s also unfair on the girls…


And all their fans are saying “it’s their concept” but I still don’t think it’s a good move. Casual stans want a group they can rely on. Not something like this where they don’t know what to expect out of the group

it's sad and a ridiculous move from modhaus, but at least the girls can go on to be in different subunits now.
