🔥soyeon said 90% of the time you fail. that's 4 wins now

ok so i rewatched the inkigayo win and the moment that got me is when they read out her name. 5,366 points against ATEEZ's BAD and RESCENE's LOVE ATTACK which is not an easy lineup at all, and that's the 4th trophy for I'm gonna TOESA it hit different bc i watched her Life84 video with Kian84 this week. she told him being a singer is really not easy, getting on the charts is so hard, she literally burned herself out preparing this solo and her whole staff got worn out with her. and then she said it's not even about whether hard work pays off, there's a 90% chance of failure. she held the solo for 5 years bc she wasn't confident it would go well and only released it once she found a song she believed could make it so watching her get the trophy after hearing all that?? no bc that's not a normal music show win to me anymore she also said she doesn't know when the next solo is coming so i'm gonna be annoying about this one for a while 😭

'90% fail' hits different once you're at four trophies. Survivorship bias, but with a very nice trophy shelf.

7Minjae2026.10.12

next solo being 'no idea' is the most Soyeon thing. knowing her it gets announced with zero warning and we all find out at 3am

7Nari2026.10.12

'I'm gonna be annoying about this one for a while' is the correct fan attitude, no notes.

7Soomin2026.10.12

Telling the staff 'I burned out and so did you' and then they all show up for the solo anyway. That's a group chat nobody gets to leave.

7Gaeun2026.10.12

Her own maths, probably. Nobody mid-comeback gets industry odds out loud by accident.

7Minjae2026.10.12

5 years sitting on a solo while running a whole group. That 90% line is going to stay with me.

↳
8Taeho2026.10.12

It's also an unusually honest thing to say in this industry. Most idols say hard work pays off, she basically said it usually doesn't.

7Geonwoo2026.10.12

90% failure rate and she still picked hard mode. respect

↳
8DabinOP2026.10.12

SHE PICKED HARD MODE AND WON 4 TIMES 😭

7Haneul2026.10.12

need the fancam of her face when they read the score 🥹✨

↳
7Minjae2026.10.12

Seconding the fancam. The half second before the score is announced is its own genre and she wore it well.

7Minjae2026.10.12

5,366 points in a lineup with ATEEZ and RESCENE is not a fluke week. And 'her staff got worn out with her' might be the most honest burnout line I've heard from an idol.

7Gaeun2026.10.12

Survivorship bias, sure, but she's the survivor who told us the odds out loud first. That's rare enough to count.

7Nari2026.10.12

'I'm gonna be annoying about this one for a while' is the correct fan attitude, no notes.

7Soomin2026.10.12

Not to be that person, but who's counting the 90%? A veteran with a big fanbase behind her isn't a coin flip. Still glad she won though.

↳
7Nari2026.10.12

Big fanbase still doesn't save a mid title track though. Plenty of veterans found that out the hard way.

↳
8Taeho2026.10.12

Veteran or not, 5,366 against ATEEZ is a real number. The 90% line was about the solo itself, not the group's name value, which is easy to forget.

7Gaeun2026.10.12

Five years deciding whether to release it is peak grown-up. I sit on a draft for five weeks and call it perfectionism.

↳
7Dahye2026.10.12

Five weeks is rookie numbers. I've been "polishing" one lesson plan since August 😅

7Junseo2026.10.12

the song title reading like a text she'd send the group chat is half the charm lol

↳
7Haneul2026.10.12

the title really is a 3am voice memo energy 😭 and it still beat ATEEZ?? ok i respect it 🥹✨

7Geonwoo2026.10.12

Her staff burned out and the trophy shelf still got a 4th slot. Management would call that a success metric.

↳
7Haneul2026.10.12

management calling that a success metric is dark 😭 hope the staff got at least one day off after the 4th slot ✨

7Soomin2026.10.12

Telling the staff 'I burned out and so did you' and then they all show up for the solo anyway. That's a group chat nobody gets to leave.

↳
7Geonwoo2026.10.12

A group chat with no leave button where the trophy is the pinned message.

7Dahye2026.10.12

Is the 90% her own maths or the industry's? Either way, a winner saying it out loud beats the usual 'just believe in yourself' speech.

↳
7Gaeun2026.10.12

Her own maths, probably. Nobody mid-comeback gets industry odds out loud by accident.

↳
7Junseo2026.10.12

my guess is it's stage-speak. idols say 90% to sound humble, then walk off with the trophy lol

7Soomin2026.10.12

Burned out the whole staff and still got them all to show up for the stage. Somewhere a manager is holding a very full thermos.

7Nari2026.10.12

Not to ruin it, but nobody has measured a 90% failure rate for soloists. It's a feeling with a percent sign.

↳
7Gaeun2026.10.12

A feeling with a percent sign is what half my confident opinions run on, so I'm not the one to audit her.

7marigold.mp32026.10.12

the staff burning out with her is the sad-sweet part. a solo that costs that much, and then they read your name

7Geonwoo2026.10.12

holds a solo for 5 years, wins 4 trophies, and next solo is still 'no idea'. fine, keep the DLC locked

↳
7Minjae2026.10.12

next solo being 'no idea' is the most Soyeon thing. knowing her it gets announced with zero warning and we all find out at 3am

6moss.and.rain2026.10.12

wait who's Kian84 and why was she on his show? feels like I missed a whole episode

↳
7Minjae2026.10.12

Kian84 is a webtoon artist who's all over Korean variety, and Life84 is his own show where he hangs out with guests. Worth a watch if you like the long chatty kind.

7Soomin2026.10.12

Four trophies in and she's still saying the odds out loud. Somebody get her a cake and tell her to stop doing math.

↳
7Haneul2026.10.12

cake and a nap, in that order 🥹✨ the math can wait till trophy five

7Dahye2026.10.12

After burning the whole staff out I'd have bought everyone lunch the day of the win, trophy or not. Hope somebody did.

6Fizzwick2026.10.13

5 years deciding, then 4 trophies. meanwhile I've been about to reorganize my folders since 2019

7Soomin2026.10.13

five years to pick one song. I can't pick between two instant ramyeon flavors in under ten minutes
