Has a girl crush group ever been dragged for not trying new concepts?

I can't think of many ggs that consistently pulled girl crush besides 2ne1, bp and maybe fx so I don't see why they should be criticized for that. 2ne1 had a p diverse discography, same for fx imo and bp barely gets cbs. Other ggs that tried be only girl crush weren't from big 3 and flopped hard (rip a.kor and d.holic)

From dance to styling to everything. It’s all ppl dragged for days. Surprised anyone could miss it.

I remember people not liking the song but I missed the comparisons thankfully...

But if both songs are so similar why did everyone love d4 but KTL didn’t get that same response from kpop stans lol... people are odd

I hate dddd but I love ktl

 

Dddd chorus sound way too silly imo while ktl sounds a lot more stronger and better to sing along

Lol that’s fair! Initially I liked KTL better but I think d4 aged better (maybe because it grew on me later on) I need to take a break from listening to KTL now but it’s still a bop

I just know that bubbly/soft/girly/cutesy concepts get dragged the most by i-fans.

I feel like Girl Crush relies heavily on a diverse discography. Despite needing a tough and chic look, Girl Crush groups also need to soften their image for the public. And as someone pointed out, it is such a minority of GGs with a full Girl Crush concept.

2ne1 had diverse content, and pretty much all of 4minute's songs sound like they are more than a year apart.

 

The problem people have with cute and soft groups is that their music flat-lines a lot of times. The concept is fine, it would just be nice to see some spice. For example, cute groups are often inspired by J-pop groups, and very few J-pop groups see a true demand for a concept change. (Don't kill me, I know some do. It's just that their A-sides are usually different enough and so distinct)

 

That being said, a fandom is a fandom. Fans are attracted to a group for what they are. As long as there are people who like the cute concept, there will be plenty of groups to love. It is a shame that they are dragged since, for one, they have fans who genuinely enjoy their content, and secondly, they contrast with girl crush groups so much. Gfriend x Mamamoo was so interesting because they are on opposite sides of that spectrum of GGs.

Weren’t ppl dragging BP precisely because KTL and DDDD were so similar

 

This was pretty much everyone's complaint when KTL came out.

 

But honestly, not as much. The only group that I feel really did girl crush for a really long period of time was 2NE1. (maybe 4minute, f(x), etc?) But they had such a diverse discography that it would be hard to drag them for it.

 

I see groups mostly get dragged if they come out with songs that sound too similar that aren't far enough apart time-wise.

International kpop fans loves girl crush, they have this idea they have the coolest concepts and songs but they and they only demand groups to change concepts when its bubbly/cute groups. It’s quite funny because 99% of them only listen to title songs otherwise they would see many of those cutesy/bubbly groups delivers diversity on their b-sides (maybe even more than girl crush groups) and maybe when they cover other groups through performances. It’s a shame and sad realty. Besides, if girl crush groups changed their concept to something more elegant and cute, people would drop them fast so yah, who wants their group to fall apart? No one so no one asks them to change or try other concepts.
