Brave Girls is now gaining traction, thanks to their 2017 video, "Rollin'," which went viral in 2021. This fame reportedly helps Brave Entertainment's revenue increase 20 folds, so fans are now asking the music label to manage the girls better to be more successful.
The fame "Rolling'" experience translates to Brave Girls' success, no matter how delayed. This also positively affects Brave Entertainment, so will this finally help the group gain more attention?
AllKpop noted that the company's audit report submitted to the Financial Supervisory Service on May 2 showed $17.84 or $14.1 million in revenue in 2021. The information just revealed a 1976.8% increase compared to 2020.
For starters, the famous producer Brave Brothers (Kang Dong Chul) founded Brave Entertainment in 2012. It is the home to Brave Girls and DKB.
Alternatively, Brave Girls debuted in 2011. Sadly, the girl group did not receive much attention at the time.
Thankfully, the live performance videos of their song "Rollin'" became viral in 2021. Since then, Minyoung, Yujeong, Eunji and Yuna have solidified their status as one of the most popular girl groups in the K-pop world.
They have been actively promoting and recently released their fifth mini-album, "Summer Queen." They also started to top the charts with their song "Chi Mat Ba Ram," followed by a digital single release, "Summer by Myself in July, and a repackaged album, "After We Ride," in August.
This helps Brave Entertainment to experience huge success when it comes to sales. Its last year's sales were 11.8 billion KRW or $9.3 million from the group's album sales alone.
It also included 3.7 billion KRW or $3 million from advertisements and 130 million KRW or $103,000 from overseas performance. With these sales, fans hope the agency will do a better job managing Brave Girls so that they can be more successful.
NME added the girls have been through a lot in the last 10 years that they have been in the business. In fact, the current line-up is way different from those that started back in 2011.
The original members left one by one. Now, there are only four members in the group. This change may have stemmed from their agency's bad decisions, long breaks and poor promotion.
They also have no new projects to work on for a while that they almost disbanded earlier this year until that viral video gave them a new lease of life.
This also makes the Brave Girls the title-holders for the girl group with the longest Perfect All-Kill in history.
