This candidate is pretty with nice smile!!

She remind me of that Korean actress that I like. I just search the actress name that remind me is Lee Bo-Young.

Anyway, I don't see all the candidates profile (supposedly there are 350 candidates that passed from 1st round audition of 7k applications, only 25 will be chosen to be final mems), just shared the ones that I find on Twitter LOL

I think Asryuki means about the tags on twtitter: #PRODUCE48 #IZONE

The person seems a huge fan of Akb48, it tweet all the things related to them when I scroll down (and it tag all like that), and as there are Japanese mems on that show and group *shrug*

This group supposedly back up from Yeah1, and from my research it seems a huge ass Multimedia Communication Company. They have their own music site, produced movies, have their own TV channel, news media, concert organization, management team etc it seems like they do everything LOL

This group is in good hand for sure. Their company has all the platform to give them exposure and promotion. This project may working better than I thought.

And they literally open all SNS account for SGO48 already to communicate with audiences.

Happy to hear this is going to happen, but I'm very unsure if SG048 will be successful. There are so many hurdles they will face in Vietnam. Vietnamese are not so fond of groups, especially girl groups. The ones active today struggles and when you have a group with 20+ members... I'm very skeptical but we'll see.

Sure the market is so used with soloist, but who know the young audiences may give it a chance. I think Vietnam just very bad at marketing the group to be appealing, attention grabber that can make industry/audience to talk today.

First most probably shock with this group and even gain antis (Lmao), but it make people talk. I mean I don't think Indonesia has an idol group culture either? Their culture is even extremely conservative (Vietnam's culture is consider way much more open than them) but the group ended up doing quite well. And same with Thailand... All of the youth from these countries have in common is that they all consume Kpop for idols. So there is a demand/chance if it actually provided good marketing, concept, content and PR to targeting audiences.

 

Even China that also predominated with soloist, balled and ost have some successful idol groups now (and there were many flop be4 that happened). Korea and Japan are the only Asia countries with long, establish, open market for groups (Taiwan used to be a long time ago, and Vietnam used to have successful bands in early 2000's too), the rest are all dominated by soloist and probably with some bands that played instrument. Local idol groups are all met with challenge in their own country.

 

And I think they don't have to appear with all 25 mems when they at public, but send a smaller units instead to promote the group. Only for fan events and such, they can appear as a whole.

At least they have Yeah1 backing them, which perhaps can be a huge advantage in therms of marketing. They should give Lime and Lip B a run for their money though.

I don't think JKT48 is successful. The fad faded after 3 years and the group is just there, making no impact. Limited budget is obvious in its latest MV.

If they faded after 3 yrs, then probably had to do with bad management/content to keep its audiences.

Kpop groups also hit certain peak then declined (and then disband after 5yrs or 7yrs for girl group) but they good at content/fans building to maintain a slow declined. Almost all groups (esp boygroup) that already declined but want to continue, its all depend on fanbase that they build. Its normal.

If Jkt48 still has not disband yet, then they on that cycle. Depend on certain amount fan base loyalty and if lots of mems had solo work. It still can support the group, so its still worth to keep.

I wonder if they're going to have a theater and another question is where?

 

This is an official ABK48 sister so a theater is a must.

 

I’m really looking forward to it. It would be very interesting to see how they look compared to BNK48 or JKT48.

 

For songs and stages I hope they are given more than just covers for the Japanese songs. Hopefully, AKB learned from the SNH48 split that they need to allow some original stuff for the foreign groups.

How to address their name as their full name its pretty long?

Vietnamese have 3 to 4 words as full name (except ethnic minority people)

Ex. 1.Name with 3 words

Nguyen Phuong Dung- Just called them Phuong Dung will be enough (Vietnamese can have 1 or 2 words for first name), Nguyen is last name (it broadly shared last name in Vietnam)

2.Name with 4 words

Nguyen Thi Minh Tuyen- Just address them with Minh Tuyen (their first name), Nguyen (last name), Thi (middle name, some used middle name and some don't).

 

Easy Tip: It pretty much safe to just address them of the last 2 words to differentiate the name of each candidates (first name with 2 words make it special, and its harder to find one with similar name this way instead of just 1). Hope it help with how addressing them.

yeah1 is using voting and girls with prior fame for marketing, which is the route i was hoping this audition won’t go towards. (at least it shouldn’t for 1st generation.) well, i hope internally the members are being selected VERY carefully

JKT48's popularity resorted on its novelty-never before status thus, it's bounded to fade fast. On top of that, it lost most of its more popular members quickly. The group already declined in its second year and tanked deeper in its third year. Members and fans thought original JKT48 songs might be able to reboot the group but the request was turned down by the Japanese licensor. It seemed like JKT48 has been trimmed down a little and the management has been re-organized to survive but, this can't make strong impact on general public.

 

Some marketeers analyzed BNK48's popularity too was a bubble which would burst within few years.

Theater is compulsory.

That's what I'm saying in my other post SGO48's concept will bring buzz to industry/audiences (which something that Viet groups doesn't have), so increase this group chance to have a great start. I mean only Kpop and Jpop are the Asian industry with long/established/profitable market for idols, so Vietnam need something special to attract industry/possible audiences attention.

How to maintain a long term interest and popularity will be up to management and large part to its members themselves too. But 48 concept give great advantage than anything Vietnam ever offers.

 

Another thing is SM planned for NCT Vietnam may help create a good idol fan base for industry in the future (as Vietnam/Viet fans obsessed with KPOP, so tagging SM/Kpop will help attracting audiences). I think this will help SGO48 in the future too. It may brings some kind of competition in the industry and make idol fan base community more interesting and active. Maybe its finally the right time for idol groups in Vietnam to happen in upcoming years. Local businessman may start to invest to create more idol groups later...who knows

Maybe, there is a limit how long can a "cover" group can go. I saw few marketing analyses on BNK48 they all addressed it would be hard for BNK48's hype to last long due to its nature. 48 format is "stan" focused marketing/emotional marketing so it may be hard to keep the interest of "general public" onto the group.

 

NCT Vietnam has not even started trainee recruiting yet. It will take at least 3 years to debut the group. By that time, SGO may already wane.

 

An advantage of BNK48 is that Thailand's economy is dominated by Japanese investors who support BNK by hiring the group for their event for endorsement. Meanwhile, Vietnam's economy is dominated by Korean investors who won't as supportive to a J-pop-ish group.

 

A very reason why big music labels in Thailand doesn't join the "idol" market because it's much much more costly to produce and maintain and they ain't familiar with "idol" marketing leeching off fans to the fullest. They still use the same old marketing, event performance, concert, endorsement and tie-in. So, to them, idol is much much less profitable. BNK48 has made hefty income but, it's questionable how profitable the group has been as it requires huge budget to run.

 

As no big label joins the game, the expected fierce competition has not happened.

I don't 'expected' or a 'sure thing' to whatever happened to this group in the future (or to their long term career as we don't know if this group will take it off after debut like BNK/JKT in the first place) but a possibly that this group has advantage start compare to other Viet groups (the company that back them help too) and adding a 'wishful thinking'. Since my first post I already knowledge how hard is the market for idol groups to be successful (and pressed on how all these Asian countries not like Korea+Japan) when it comes to groups. That's y, Vietnam lack of it own exist groups in the first place. I don't get why u keep repeat the same thing to me for counterargument?

- The downfall of JKT isn't simply management flaw but something bound to happen. Likely, the management could delay it for few years at best. Sooner or later, BNK will fall into the same situation unless both BNK's agency and AKS together do something big to refresh the group.

- SGO48, if successful, likely will boost the quantity but not the quality of girl groups. The market won't develop stably without bigger music labels participating the competition.

- 48 won't help increase the quality.

 

For quality, K-pop is the route to take. K-pop invests so much on training thus K-pop influenced groups receive better training. By taking after K-pop, I refer only to its training, its approach to create a group and not necessarily its music.

Yeah, I think having SGO48 can be a small step of getting more attention to the idol culture in Vietnam, since today it's either despised or people simply don't care about them. Until NCT-V arrives(if that ever happens since SM could change his mind), it's better to have one real idol group than lazy and dumb groups like Zer09. Not to put down other existing Vpop groups like UNI5(which is gaining attention), Monstar, Lime and Lip B, but the public don't care about them.

I agree with you, as much I as anticipate SGO48, I am also skeptical because the 48 horizontal integration/business model has been repetitive and can go saturated. They need something new and refreshing that can go viral because people get bored quickly. I really, really dislike how AKS doesn't give the original song to any of its foreign sister group, except China. Sure, producing a new song/concept is costly, but why not? Local people appreciate it more.

 

The view of Facebook page and Youtube videos are stilllow for me. People haven't warmed up to this yet because Vietnamese people prefer originality and soloists who work on their own aesthetic and music. The commercial idol culture struggles a lot. 

 

Long-term success: SGO48 should really think about 10 years of plan. What do they want to achieve by being here? Having an excellent first generation is a must. How can they be everywhere? How can they overcome preference to soloist?
