redheart 7,440 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I don't think that the issue lays within having more female fans or male fans or whatever yes Skorea is very sexist and therefor GGs already have a disadvantage also our societies push this idea of loyalty onto women and that is something that is rooted in our minds that's even the very reason why we say that female fans are more dedicated however because kpop companies even western companies know of this The industry is made in such a way that it's designed to win the loyalty of female fans I mean look at bgs they're constantly doing fans service saying sweet things to their fans, basically acting like they are married to them, that is a strategy that works with women and they put a lot of effort into their concepts too I'll take Exo as an example only because I know them well they were already known before their debut because well they are from SM but also SM invested in a platera of teasers BGs usually have very complex concepts, and variety of them too but when it comes to GGs they have cute, sexy, girl crush concepts and that's it, they don't put that much effort into building a strong fan base for GGs the only exceptions I see are SNSD and Twice both companies invest a lot of time and money on them and look both sell more albums than some BGs SNSD is having their 10th year anniversary and Twice is constantly breaking records I'm convinced that kpop agencies have the possibility to build solid fan base for both BGs and GGs but it's easier for them to just put all the effort on their Bgs and just give public friendly songs to their GGs so that they succeed digitally and have CF deals, but once they are done with one groupe they move onto another like YG did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyedes 2,896 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The issue is that girl groups (and their fans) rely too damn much on the Korean general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B612 22,399 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I agree except with BGs usually have very complex concepts, and variety of them too but when it comes to GGs they have cute, sexy, girl crush concepts and that's it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIUDEAN 4,562 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I agree except withWhy, there is no lie there? Girl groups are far less experimental with their concepts, its not a bash, it's a fact. The general public is iffy when ggs try things that don't fit their gg taste Sent from my K011 using OneHallyu mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIUDEAN 4,562 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I agree with a lot of the OP, maybe not the extreme victim narrative but companies def do not put a lot of effort into girly groups, they play it safe because its the safer option Sent from my K011 using OneHallyu mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittany 8,837 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Well? And please don't say Orange Caramel... Sent from my K011 using OneHallyu mobile app Soshi (different concepts like RDR, The Boys and type of music like IGAB) 2NE1 (experimental image) T-ARA (went from cutesy Roly Poly to Cry Cry in like 3 months) IU (You and I to The Red Shoes) Hyuna (cutesy Bubble Pop to mature Red) Lee Hyori (U-Go-Girl contrast of 10 minutes) Girl's Day (cutesy songs like Darling to mature ones like Something) Brown Eyed Girls (experimental image) Miss A (Goodbye Baby and BGGG to Touch and Hush) KARA (check Lupin and Pandora from their basic cutesy songs) SISTAR (cutesy summer songs to mature songs like Alone) Lmao the problem with your thinking is that you're looking at groups that have only just debuted and haven't exactly had the time to branch out yet. And it's funny because if you look at this list, the acts with the highest public recognition have the most ease branching out. In fact Koreans have suggested that this is why Soshi is the NGG, because of the different concepts that they've pulled off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
