The King 2,091 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Kpop fans always seem worried about their bias group being overshadowed if they release a song during a week/day that one of the popular groups is releasing music also. Has there been a time where a less popular group released a song when none of the really popular groups where and they received more attention because of that? For example: Sistar and 2ne1 are coming back soon around the same time. Should nugu's avoid releasing music because they'll be overshadowed by them and won't receive publicity? I just feel like if you're a nugu, it won't really matter if you avoid them or not. There are other factors that go into elevating your status/popularity.

Perfect Chaos 300 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 well Secret going head on against SNSD for Love Is Move vs The Boys got them a fair amount of attention. usually though it wouldn't matter cuz nugus wouldn't get far if they went before, after, or during big groups' promotions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Youth 64 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 As much as I like some of the popular groups I think it's sad how the rest of the groups are overshadowed. It'd be great if different groups got to win every time but that's never going to happen. Like someone else said, it doesn't matter if they promote before, during or after i have a feeling the result would be the same, sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiramiQ 16,446 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 actually it is better for nugus to comeback around the same time as big names, it garantees them exposure and attention. at least in music shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetweenYourThighs 2,958 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 ...lesser known groups should try going head on head against popular groups..they don't really have anything at stake but could easily get recognition to even attempt doing it...

dream 1,916 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Competing with big acts can get you a lot of attention, even if it's impossible to win. Also, a lot of people are gonna be checking the digital stores and they might get your song along with the ones from big acts. big act x big act can work too, it generates a LOT of free buzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shino 6,921 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Honestly if SNSD or 2NE1 came back with shitty title tracks which they most likely will nowadays.........and a nugu girl group came back the same time with an amazing song and outperforms them on the stage people will take notice.

Candykiss 2,124 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 It does matter for weekly awards You will never win promoting alongside big names no matter how good your song is Music show awards are popularity contests~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmn 2,622 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Look at 4minute now. The entire May has been completely filled with lack-lustre comebacks from B/C-level acts, and I imagine it's been very good for 4minute to top them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiCardenasZ 148 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Nine Muses came back with Dolls the same time SNSD came back with IGAB, and I think they got a lot more popular since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s4a 13,715 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Look at 4minute now. The entire May has been completely filled with lack-lustre comebacks from B/C-level acts, and I imagine it's been very good for 4minute to top them. B/C level idol acts*. Many non-idols that released music are definitely not B/C level. Secret seriously underperforming and T-ara N4 straight up flopping did help 4minute but, in the end, WYN was a song that got popular on its own merits. It doesn't matter who you go against...if you have a song that is appealing enough on its own, it will do well with enough promotion and a bit of luck.

viva 882 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I feel like it can be a good thing to promote alongside them. Yeah, you might not win music shows, but what do you get from that except a trophy? Competition = fans try harder and spend more money, and it gets attention because more people watch the music shows and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApinkPandaOfApink 338 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 good for increasing exposure for nugu groups but not good for middle tier groups trying to climb up to higher tier B/C level idol acts*. Many non-idols that released music are definitely not B/C level.

sgtninjago 2,190 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Its hard to say. Sometimes the right song might matter, and how far long each big act are into their comeback. I remember Secret did pretty well with Shy Boy and they had DBSK and Big Bang out at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mglsts 960 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Depends, if it the group is fairly known and has any chances of winning awards on shows, it might hurt to go against top groups. For all the rest, it will probably even help since more people might watch them while waiting for the top group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Jung 19,680 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 2PM is certainly not B level though Yes but they had longer hiatus than Rainbow + the song is not really appealing to public and it didn't help either because the song didn't chart so well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TotoroSmile 1,600 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 It will be hard for them to win the music show, but if they were in the top 2 with the popular group, I guess it will give them more exposure. There is the good and bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
