Do You Think Brave Girls Could Ever Chart In The US?

[Your Biggest Fan]

Just seeing how much success Rollin' and We Ride is getting in Korea I was wondering how difficult it would be to get Brave Girls to chart on Youtube, Spotify, iTunes and Billboard in the US.

doubt it, from what i've seen, international fans don't seem to care about them very much

Depends on if the international kpop community wants to stream their music.

i don't think so. the girls are huge in sk, but it's obvious that people just know about the girls because they're breaking their bias group's records (which isn't a bad thing to know them for). it also doesn't help that the rollin' music video is a mess. first video that pops up is a dance version, which would question kpop fans as dance versions tend to be the lower viewer count, so they would try searching up the regular music video. and then they're hit with 'rollin new version' or 'rollin clean version' and there's just too many versions for them to know which to stream, lmao.

if ariana grande sang it, then definitely

Like other people have said, they don't seem to have a big international following. Just casual followers at most so I doubt it.

A lot of i-fans from what I've seen are just "bandwagon stanning" because they can use them in fanwars (ie: "they ended BTS/Twice/BP" etc) but at the end of the day I haven't seen many i-fans genuinely interested on them as a group.

Nope. Especially since they don’t have the look/vibe of the other groups doing well in the US (BTS, NCT, Blackpink)

Ask Lee Jieun about charting in USA

[STORM BLOOM]

Their Home Country is far more important. 

[schue]

Nah. Rollin' success is only due to domestic interest. It went viral in Korea, not internationally.

[Youahaen]

Nah. The song fits Koreans taste, not really international fans.

This reminds me of something I saw the other day...I saw fans of a group mad and begging a company to change a release date to friday... to give best chances for us charts bc the US charts that's the day their data resets for the week or w/e is right way to say it. Personally like when there's strong,dedicated US fanbasr it makes sense but it's not very...telling of american gp. Other groups should not just follow this pattern of going for US charting.. such I assume fans want them to out of some fandom rivalry like their "rival groups" charts in US so they want they're group to as well.

What I mean by its not telling of gp is, these kpop groups billboard 200/hot 100 charting is carried by fans buying the digital over & over again,  and streaming 24/7.  And these kpop groups that top hot 100, they do gain like some popheads interest, so I'm not saying non kpop fans don't care, bc its achievement to top these charts but it's mostly a fandom push than by say, radio play or streaming coming from non fans. And I don't really get why going for US promotion etc is becoming more in kpop tbh like it makes sense for those with fanbase but it's also just like Japan promotion,  easy cash grab for companies bc these are 2 biggest music industries. But I've rarely found English song by kpop group that  really wins me over. There has been one...I never listen to MX but their song "middle of the night" showed up on my discover weekly last year and I legit love this song.  I was gonna say it feels to me like more 'real song' and the kpop group songs that top hot 100 (yall will hate me for this... no offense... I'm sorry..) are more gimmicky for me. Like just a song about nothing but is an earworm, but maybe that's just my taste of music that it doesn't connect as well to me. I think for kpop groups to really break through in US as fans seem to want they need a more unique song that sumn that's just catchy.. bc that might work,  but as soon as fandom effort dies down ppl will move on to next song by whoever artist also just catchy earworm. It's just weird for me how in general kpop fans going for hot 100 etc now like it's so unnecessary bc when it happens, these groups do more than fine domestically.. like for those who have done hot 100 it makes sense cuz their strong fandom but idgi in terms of other groups with less wide/dedicated US fandom following those footsteps or their fans also wanting them on hot 100. In general idg why it matters hhhh like I'm rambling really so sorry but I guess I just don't get what's point of trying to make it in US when they do fine in their country and I think it's unlikely they'll win over American gp.  Like I said popheads like these songs but they also just move on to next song and prolly forget when each song faces out. Most ppl fickle like that
