Wrong. Gabby/Gisella- was launched by Ph when she was Sugar and no where near as expensive as she is now. KG is what pushed her to the top, her tenure at VIP was brief.
Yu-Hee- After seeing her pics, she goes as far back as the Hiyako days, was at Twinkle NY, and a few other places, she already had popularity but would always reset it because she would take long breaks and change her name.
Jiso- Girl from the west who already had her following
Momo- The one VIP exception who gained her popularity here.
