1. [+326, -29] 100,000 copies in 5 minutes... that's amazing. China's market size is just unbeatable, it makes me worry that Guanlin is going to make China his main career stage and barely come promote in Korea..
2. [+282, -17] I think the most successful member has to be Lai Guanlin. He's still a minor and yet he has his whole career laid out for him in China.
3. [+209, -8] This shows that this route is the best, no? ㅋㅋ I don't know why but anyone who's promoted in Korea first is oddly popular in China too ㅋㅋ all of the Chinese kids who debuted in Korea first go down this route. But then again, I'd want to work in China too since the money's better there. All of you fans better remember that the Chinese members are 100% going to go back to China sooner or later.
4. [+15, -6] He's super handsome, he'll be no joke in his twenties
5. [+13, -2] Cube scouted him in Korea and put him on 'Produce' barely a year into his training. That was probably their best decision ever. He could've been buried if they waited to debut him as a foreign member in some low-tier group. This does make me worry that he's going to promote less in Korea and more in China though.
6. [+13, -5] Isn't he Taiwanese, though? I guess I can see why China's crazy about him considering how handsome he is..
7. [+12, -3] He'll be successful no matter what. I saw how hard he worked on 'Produce', he really put in his whole effort into it. He not only learned Korean but wrote his own rap lyrics too. I'm not particularly a Wanna One fan but I hope he keeps working in Korea and with Cube no matter how successful he is in China ㅎ
8. [+10, -3] With the group on the verge of going back to nugudom except for Kang Daniel, this guy is making the real bucks. He probably makes more with one job in China than Kang Daniel does with 10 jobs in Korea. Being famous in China means bucket loads of cash~
9. [+8, -1] Just go to China, no point in staying in Korea when he can make 10 times more money over there
10. [+7, -2] Honestly, his rapping and dancing are nothing special but I guess you can't ignore the power of a Chinese fandom
