butterscotch 75 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I find it weird. I mean BigBang is going to enlist soon but no one is talking about which groups should replace them while it's the opposite for SNSD. Can someone enlighten me?

Scuttlebutters 747 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Cause people like to pin girls against each other I think. IDK tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImInCloud13 10,942 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Because realistically speaking no boy group has come close to Big Bang's success. They have it all digitals, physicals, touring, public recognition, every member is known, CFs, etc. And also because people like to pin women against each other.

Lux. 3,969 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 But isn't EXO pretty much the second most popular boy group right now? Both domestically and internationally, with public relevance and enormous fandom power? Once Big Bang enlists, it's pretty clear that EXO will be the reigning boy group unless something really big, but REALLY BIG happens and some boy group elevates itself above them (which is not happening if you ask me). And this whole discussion is stupid anyway, but if you look at the whole picture of Kpop market right now objectively, this seems to be a conclusion, simply because Big Bang and EXO are ways ahead of any other boy group you could possibly name.

dante. 7,795 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 probably bc there's multiple different girl groups who are doing really well right now, while in the case of boy groups like always there's only a small handful that do really well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightEXO 12,909 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It's also because no one truly gives a flying fuck about nations BG because let's be honest as a female myself we like to be catty towards each other and I wish it wasn't like that.

fed 639 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Why do you all even care about these meaningless "national xxx" titles? As long as my faves are happy and they keep making bank and releasing music I wouldn't care if they are the universal boygroup or the neighbourhood boygroup. I swear i only ever see these titles in korean entertainment and i never understand them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiriWilliams 1,709 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I think it's because there's really no Girl group that has achieved the level of success that SNSD achieved. I don't follow SNSD but it clear from the number of wins etc that they're the biggest girl group by far. With Boy groups you have newer group which have achieved massive success EXO, BTS, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pikachuwei 672 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Because Big Bang and EXO are so far ahead of everyone else it's not even funny? EXO probably sells more than every other boy band this year combined if Big Bang doesn't make a comeback. Unlike SNSD EXO isn't going anywhere anytime soon. While SNSD is clearly drawing back their activities and I won't be surprised if they disband within a few more years and the members go their separate ways. Plus besides SNSD there wasn't a clear front runner for second place (A Pink, F(x) were competitive with each other and RV/AOA/Girls Day/Gfriend etc were on the rise). It wasn't till TWICE massively exceeded all expectations with Cheer Up that we had a clear candidate to take SNSD's place in the next few years and even this isn't certain as TWICE needs a few more come backs on Cheer Up's level or higher to solidify their rank. They still have the chance of flopping badly with next few releases or being sent off overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena 21,718 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Boy groups are more fanbase-focused (as in they usually just appeal to a niche of hardcore fans) in the first place unlike girl groups who are usually in the public's eye. So of course a NGG is more important than a NBG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mees Madds 36,578 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Maybe the boy groups fans have realized not sales make a group be loved and respected by the general korean public but the impact they've had over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
