Fame or Fortune - Choi Beomgyu

March 2022

It's time for Galaxy to begin preparations for a comeback, not even having recorded a single line yet. The company was too busy worrying about how they were going to promote the girls and their new album. The girls are informed that since they haven't been very successful yet, they didn't have a lot to spend on promotions. Galaxy would most likely have to fund it on their own, or find a free way to do so.

In terms of media, they only have an inactive TikTok and a group Instagram. The members weren't allowed to have their own Instagram accounts because FNC feared that with their small fanbase they wouldn't have much of a following. They start promoting on Instagram posting solo selcas to show off their new hair colors. It was nothing much, most of the girls had their natural black hair with colorful tips, Jia was the only one rocking a full head of wavy blonde hair.

After Instagram they filmed short YouTube videos for their official account and it was all to no avail as their views were still at a low count.

That was until, they took to TikTok. Youngie was doing her daily scroll when she stumbled upon an audio, causing her to immediately gather the members.

"Basically we hear short clips from a bunch of different k-pop songs that use the phrase "Oh My God" and we have to guess the title and artist!"

Mi-sun scoffs. "And risk looking like crazied fans of everyone? Yeah right I'm not doing it."

"Okay! More screen time for us!" Jia exclaims grabbing the girls hands and pulling them to the couch in their recording room.

They play the audio, jumping up and shouting out the answers, laughing with each other the whole time. They then show the final video to management. Some agree with Mi-sun that it's unprofessional, but others liked how down to Earth they seem.

They end up getting the okay to release the video and don't think about it for a while. The following month, Hayoung pulls up the video and she's shocked.

"Do you see how many likes this TikTok got? 100k! That's more than the number of views on our debut!" Hayoung exclaims.

All the girls surround Hayoung's screen and cheer when they see the stats.

They read through the comments and Youngie translates the English ones for management who applaud the response.

I totally thought they were fans! I didn't realize this was a group.
