yukheiswift 238 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 because talent. it leads to winning (it doesn't help that they're the most goodlooking k-boygroup out there by average) plus their concepts are super boyband-ish and cute summer schooboy type. we all know how japan loves the cutesy and aegyo stuff more than korea actually does.

tkc123 1,391 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 kpop is fairly niche there right, so I wonder if these sales mean much but yeah...I'm still surprised by the sales since they haven't even held fanmeets there . I'm not sure what it is. idk how true this but apparently for some of their fansigns 50% of the fans that attended were japanese (is that a lot?) and once again this is another rumour but for the people that applied for their japan concerts via lottery, half of them didn't get in. edit: visuals? maybe they like their kind of visuals and the flowerboy concept I guess the japanese fanbase makes up for the lack of chinese fanbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikaruaxi 1,243 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 They fit under the J-pop spectrum. Bright, colorful, and upbeat. Not to mention they have a lot of members with different styles and are handsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shitty deku 990 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 because they tend to like groups with crap ton of filler members. really? that's why "popular" small groups in Korea, flop in Japan. thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bun_Cha 161 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 If we relate it to Japan's anime culture, we can say that they're a good reverse harem? :D Loli Shota Boy: Dino The Handsome Narcissist: Jun The Cute Energetic Type: Hoshi The Guy With A Cute Accent: The8 The Half Blood Foreigner: Vernon The Charismatic Leader: Scoups The Mysterious Emo Guy: Wonwoo The Nasty Guy: Mingyu The Diva: Seungkwan The Always Smiling Guy: DK The Pretty Boy: Jeonghan The Foreign Exchange Student: Joshua The Tsundere: Woozi I kinda forgot some of the terms.

Stormie 688 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This is just my thoughts on it, but I think that it’s something about the show they started out in, same with TWICE and SIXTEEN, it gives a sense of having something to do with the initial start of the group, like you had a part of them becoming something…. Well it’s just a thought but it’s not completely unlikely <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bun_Cha 161 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 HAHAHAHAHAH!! I'm so sorry. I've been watching too much anime. I can't help but relate Dino to Mitsukuni "Honey" (the Loli Shota) of Ouran Highschool Host Club which is a really popular reverse harem anime of its time btw. He's like a man trapped in a boy's body. So kyot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoccasionalhermit 54 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 This is completely my own opinion and has not been properly researched on: It can be attributed partly to the differences in culture, I suppose... Japan is a lot more used to groups with a crapton of members. Just look at AKB48 and their sister groups (SKE48, NMB48, HKT48, NGT48, Nogi46, etc...) AKB48 also has this concept where fans see how the members grow as they progress from being trainees, to regular members, etc. It's similar to how SVT showcased their own debut project in Seventeen Project. Also, the Japanese are much more accepting of 'long-haired pretty boys' compared to Korea, partly because of their huge anime industry. (Not that Koreans aren't, its just that I've heard Jeonghan say that uni wasn't very fun for him, probably because he had been made fun of for his long hair) The Japanese really like cute stuff. As a boy group which uses very different concepts when compared to other BGs like EXO and BTS. SVT's concepts are usually a lot more cute, as compared to EXO's latest Monster or BTS' Fire. These are the most likely ones I've seen. Feel free to correct me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
