https://neospring.org/+r/2969d0f684 I'm none of these anons but am I the only one who sees him succeeding in Korea? I constantly lurk kside on kforums and ksocial media and out of all the members Ricky and Yujin are the ones reaching the Korean gp with positive engagements whereas most member's reach is within the fandom (I'm a Rosin but I'm trying to have an objective conversation so you akgaes please kindly f off). I don't know how often you go on requeefiem's cc but they've talked about Ricky going viral on Theqoo multiple times for his fashion sense and Theqoo is known to be hateful towards anything Chinese yet they were praising and even respecting him for his commitment and dedication knowing he's Chinese and this wasn't just a one time thing he went viral multiple times already.

But what I haven't seen being talked about is he also goes viral on Korean IG reels and YT shorts for his visuals and fashion sense but that's because our social media is adjusted to our location but I use vpn so I get to see what Koreans actually see and Ricky's engagement with non fans/ korean gp is crazy. His isac appearance got him 2.5 millions views on IG reels in Korea recently. So it's not like Koreans don't like him or his visuals, they do and are clearly interested but the interest have no where to go because he's not pushed and his content is limited which is why I can see him succeeding if after ZB1 he signs with a Korean company that will actually push him in the right ways to get the interest to stick.

Same for Japan and it's why I'm interested to see how their Japan comeback is going to go since it's Lapone making the decisions instead of Wakeone (I think). Japan gp is obviously intrigued with his visuals, that viral FTP era fansign pic with 122k likes, his recent Korean concert pic with 60k likes and his Japanese variety clips always go viral on jside. I know they'll push GunHaoMatt because they're the most popular in Japan but I wonder what they'll do with Ricky since his fandom isn't the biggest but has gp reach.
