Nah, the show crippled them pretty badly last weekend and they'll be lucky to last a few more weeks now. But they should have been exploiting that target audience from day 1 instead of coming out and trying to look like an sexy uptempo pop band, which they lack the power and physicality for anyway. A more demure band coming in and picking up a base of younguns as the senior group gets sexier and hits the mainstream is standard fare in countries that have lots of stable long-term groups like Korea.
If anyone cares I posted my thoughts on what they're doing and why it hasn't worked in their appreciation thread. (Warning, I'm back to talking about most of the nebulous stuff about chemistry and connection I've basically dropped in this thread because I don't think LM need to hear it anymore.)
