I am hesitantly worried about Haechan's upcoming solo debut

I am happy that my last post generated some discussion about Haechan's solo schedules even though as expected there were many people claiming Haechan is not interested in solo work which is just not true or that I was just a solo stan (again not true).

FYI: for people who are not aware Haechan has heavily teased and outright said he is debuting solo this year in multiple fansigns and lives here, here and here as well as many more times.

I am happy he has been heavily teasing a solo debut this year but I am worried by the lack of foundation SM has built for that debut.

He is popular within the fandom but because of his completely lack of solo activities outside 127 or Dream, he is not popular amongst non nctzens and that could greatly affect the success of his solo debut. Compare him to the 7th sense unit and the amount of solo work they did before their official debut and Haechan who has done 1 OST and 1 magazine cover in 9 years.

Like, I really hope they have some type of plan for building on his exposure before he debuts properly because I don't want it to underperform not just numbers wise but in terms of reach because of SM's refusal to give him promotion.

Now with the tour and then the dream cb and then tdsfour likely at the end of the year, I expect any solo promotions before he actual debuts to be unlikely or just impossible.

I feel like you cannot talk about Haechan's solo schedules anywhere without being accused of a solo stan but I have been an nctzen for 7 years with Haechan as my bias and have supported the solo debuts of all the members extensively but I feel like nobody is really paying attention to how Haechan might be being set up to fail.
