� pannchoa 】 Knets discuss whether NCT's stagnancy is due to EXO's success?

[enter-talk] THE REASON WHY NCT CAN'T HIT BIG IS BECAUSE EXO ARE TOO CONCENTRATED ON KOREAN PROMOTIONS..

 
They were originally planning to send EXO for overseas promotions.. If they followed their original plan and pushed them to Japan and China like Bigbang, but it could've also turned out badly
We wouldn't have been able to see their faces in Korea again...

And the fans would've inherit NCT's fandom..
That was probably the plan they were dreaming happily about..
But the reality...??

EXO weren't sent overseas, but instead, they concentrated on promoting in Korea
And NCT's fandom just isn't sticking up together..
Usually, SM fandoms inherit subsequent groups one after the other..

But the new cafeteria menu already contains choices like Bangtan and Seventeen..
And all the nunas have gone to Wanna One...
SM must be super frustrated now..

They probably expected NCT to sweep the award ceremonies,
but instead, people were swearing at them asking "who are these nugus"

My opinion is that they've never pushed NCT to the extent they pushed EXO.
A group who's 7 years in their debut is still having 3 promotions in a year,
and SM still doesn't have any thoughts about pushing their hoobaes

ㅇㅇ I can agree for 50% of it, and I disagree with 50% of it. EXO have a lot of core fans in their fandom and even when they go to the army, it's unlikely that they leave the fandom. And if SM fandoms really inherit each other, then in 2014, when NCT used to appear more on broadcast than EXO on broadcast, the fandom would've shifted already, but instead, the fandom didn't accept NCT. It's not about inheriting, we need a new pie. EXO were always about singing abilities and NCT about hip hop concepts, they didn't overlap from the start

 

ㅇㅇ NCT are quite talented, their issue is their concepts, it's too hit or miss

 

ㅇㅇ I feel like NCT can't hit big as long as EXO will be the top... They should start pushing NCT when EXO starts to falter... I hope they stopped giving them those hard to pull off concepts and start giving them luxurious concepts like other male idols nowadays since they're all doing good.... The members are all talented to boot

 

ㅇㅇ Isn't it because most of EXO fans are core fans? It's not like they blew big out of nothing, it'll be hard for fans to leave their fandom

 

ã…‡ Speaking of fandom inheritance, it's not like it went from TVXQ->SUJU->Shinee->EXO either, I wonder where did that phrase come from..? Why would EXO's fandom quit for NCT? I think that SM's real plan is to take BTS, Seventeen and Wanna One's fans and put them in NCT's fandom, but that plan failed

^^^^ This tbh lol

It's not like Shinee fans went to EXO or Suju fans went to Shinee....

EXO fans aren't gonna go to NCT just because EXO doesn't promote much in Korea. Their concepts are totally different too.

 

NCT not being popular doesn't have much to do with EXO. SM is barely pushing them where it matters, NO variety show appearances, NO good promotions that will attract new fans or the public's attention... They're relying too much on their fandom...

 

Plus we all know the concept (unit system) alone is a turn-off to some ppl...

sms new groups have been on a decline because you have boy groups like bts/ wanna one taking all the other fans 


 


also the nct concept is ridiculous to begin with how can they keep a core fandom when you have diff units and members switching out 


sm wanted this concept thing but it flopped

How does SM expect NCT to hit big with songs like Fire Track and Cherry Bomb?

 

You need a specific taste to enjoy them. If you want wide fandom, your music has to have wide appeal too.

 

The boys are talented and likable as far as I see, I bet they would be way bigger if they were a stable group, without the confusing units system, if they had more public friendly songs and less over the top styling.

It's not really about concept tbh.. We've seen fans jump ship from a group to another with a totally different concept / music styles all the times

They have different appeals. People's music and aesthetic tastes don't change overnight to make them jump ships

 

also about the fandom "inheritance" a lot of exo ls are also NCTzens... atleast the I Fans... its just that fans are too loyal to suddenly abandon EXO? And what is the need when you can like both groups at the same time.

 

 

also... its partly because NCT concepts are not mainstream either.so yeah.

basically top 2 reasons.

1. idols competitions are harder and harder, people have more choices. there are more and more players who already study and master SM's game

2. nct is great but their concept is not for everyone.

it got nothing to do with exo, do this people really think all of tvxq fans became suju fans and then shinee to exo makes no sense at all.

I think nct needs better promotion, style and a hit song before they get a huge fandom and become successful. and this unit thing doesn't make sense to anyone soimstupid.png

okay, don't hate me and understand me because i think companies see kpop only as business and groups as money makers. as much as elf were crazy over "nobosy will replace super junior" times change and super junior (and i'd also say tvxq) was falling behind FOR NEW FANS (mass). exo entered in a great moment, there was an important generation brake after them and if sm wanted for nct to be the new exo they should have waited. however, in super junior's generation, for example, you also have shinee that still iconic-level but not KINGS OF THEIR GENERATION level (they are kings and trend setters for their fans, i respect it and i'd quote big bang and tvxq as top at their times) and maybe nct can get there. it will be harder because not only you have big3 groups with great impact, but also many smaller company's groups. however, i can't predict future and i am not their fan so i don't know wat they are really doing and maybe tomorrow they can get super famous? who knows

sounds like a bull...

 

but i am so glad they weren't sebt to Hapan soon... but I feel like they will do it in 2018 T___T

NCT lack of success has nothing to do with EXO. For the both the concept and pre debut scandal was already negatively impacting them even before they released their first song.

 

Not to mentiom for NCT U and 127 the songs are not public friendly at all. Like Cherry Bomb was a lot of WTF so it will not help bring in new fans.

 

Lets not forget Ten. Who was promoted very early on and attracted a lot of people to NCT from HTS and is know no where to be found...
