Which Produce 101 Season did better internationally?

[Lexurite]

While it’s clear the season 2 of Produce 101 was more popular in Korea (as well as Wanna One being more popular than IOI), it seems that internationally it’s hard to tell? What’s your take on this? Which season did better among ifans? Why do you think this specific season did better among ifans?

[lovesound]

the girlies 

[CALICO CAT]

probably season 2? cause male idols and fangirls go hand in hand

 

but the popularity felt pretty even

1 I think. Wanna One's international fandom is very sad compared to their Korean one lol.

[Coming Century]

The boys.

[Cade]

Season 2 did better and it was more popular then season 1 as well 

[Balancetonquoi]

The boys in both ...and I still dont get why..

[Nyny]

In two days after pre-orders were open, Ktown4u recorded 25k pre-orders. That's a website international fans use. Chinese fans also pre-ordered another 25k.

 

That's 50k.

 

They already have 2 fan-meets scheduled in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

 

I think S2's popularity is underrated internationally. 

[chanyeolears]

I think the first one?

[Caridee]

lol Korea and internationally it was season 2.

[Zamo]

Season 2.

[Lai Guanlinsus AKGAE]

It's obvious is Season 2

[Primazaza]

Season 2 is more popular internationally as well, but the opinions are more mixed they have more fans but a lot more haters too because Samuel and Jonghyun didn't end up in the group so a lot of potential i-fans get mad and turns into haters. Haters are always louders than fans it's why you can think they're not that popular internationally if you don't follow them closely

it seems very sad because their Korea fandom is humongous lmao.

 

From the twitter trends and OH and retweets from each episode, it will still be season 2.

Probably.

Second I suppose.

[YooJeong]

I personally preferred season one, but logically speaking season two did better. Because season one did so well, season two could do even better - since the show had been successful, people were anticipating the second season. Also, since it was the boys version, they had even more fangirls because as we all know boy groups will always have explosive fandoms and most of the time their fandoms are much, much bigger than that of girl groups, both domestically and internationally. 

 

So season two. I liked both seasons but I am biased towards I.O.I~
