Why are most 3rd gen main vocalists the least popular in their groups

Rose is very popular though... I feel like her and Jisoo are about the same in popularity (and tbh maybe Rose even moreso). For a 4 member group their popularity is honestly incredibly balanced out, Lisa is the obvious frontrunner globally and Jennie in Korea but they're very equal compared to some other groups in the past especially. 

 

Not sure about Wendy and I agree that Jihyo is rising a lot. Maybe she's still one of the least popular members comparatively but she's been getting a lot of attention for her visuals and dance. And yeah, I don't think Miyeon is that popular even though I like her visual but there are simply standouts in her group. 

 

I would really say people tend to stan visual. The visual is always the one of the most popular and that goes for just about every group minus BP and BTS and maybe a few more I can't think of immediately (but in BTS's case Tae is kinda considered the visual so it's complicated).

I know this is not relevant but I need to correct you because I think people underestimate Jisoo's popularity.

Jisoo is more popular than Rose though not by much but still just look at the brand reputation/gallup and how much she trends on naver compared to Rose.

 

Jisoo is more popular than her in Korea, China (second most popular after Lisa) Thailand (Jisoo is the second most liked after Lisa) and then Philippines (Jisoo is not the most popular it's Lisa and Jennie but according to all my filos friends Rose is the least popular there) oh in Japan Jisoo is also more popular. Yes in western countries and other SEA countries Rose is definitely more popular but overall I would say 

 

Lisa>Jennie>Jisoo>Rose

most people only care about vocal talent to put others down, like for real, even on OH among international fans the visuals are the most popular members and the vocal line has less fans in comparison (badge holder-wise)...

Sadly. It's only used when convenient but when the teasers are out the most popular members always have the loudest cheers

If you think so then no prob. Yes, Jisoo is a lot more popular and well-known in Korea (I never said Rose was more popular in Korea lol, it's pretty obvious) and China (after Lisa) but I kinda just assumed from general international buzz (definitely including Western countries) and to an extent from Instagram followers and YT views, that Rose was more popular - if they are not equal. I'm not really into this analysis stuff so I only know what other people say, by that I do know Jennie is popular in Philippines, Indonesia, Japan and other European countries while Lisa similarly dominates SEA countries and Western countries. I haven't seen much on Rose and Jisoo so I'll take your word for it then. 

 

Maybe I'm still stuck in their first two or so years where Rosie had so many activities and I was always seeing and hearing her everywhere... I always thought she was the most popular after Lisa (even moreso than Jennie) and I still believe her fan base is very strong but I guess she's more the type to be recognised by GP for her voice.

 

In the end my point still stands, all 4 members of BP are very close in popularity for a 4 member girl group if we just tend to look at groups such as 4Minute and Sistar. They've all got strong and dedicated fanbases and they all do well. The discrepancy is not huge.

A group must have one or two great vocalists to take care of the singing aspect. But main vocalists don't get much spotlight outside the studio unless they're good in variety shows. Visuals take care of the looks and dancers of movement and these are the things you'll first notice in video clips and performances. Sadly the audience tends to get bored during ballads where main vocalists obviously shine the brightest.
