Lisa vs Jungkook: Who will be the first A/B list kpop soloist in America?

of course Jungkook. Even My Time charted on BB Hot 100

Depends on the music!!!

both will be succesful but obviously jungkook since he has a bigger fanbase

Is this even up for debate? Jungkook.

I can't see Lisa ever be successful in the US.

I love my queen lisa and maybe in asia she could do better than jungkook with her solo if the song is good but in america it's difficult to do better than him

It's quite difficult for any Kpop artists currently but from these two it's Jungkook currently.

Jungkook mainly because he is a vocalist so it's easier for them to push pop songs especially if he keeps improving in his English proficiency and he has ARMY and his solo fans so he probably has the best chance and highest breakthrough potential currently.

Lisa has potential too and she's my favorite but unless she sings it will prove difficult as rapping would not help her break into the market without the support of the Hip-hop community. YG or her personally should start vocal training(especially her lower tone that she used in K.A.M.U) if they aim to push here solo in the west., She just needs to get to atleast Rihanna's level in singing (Also has to be influential though in fashion and pop culture) and with the right (Not some of these struggle writers Kpop companies use) production team she may breakthrough there and get hits.

it would be hard for any kpop idol to be a successful soloist in America

None of them lol

agree with the jungkook

but its not like lisa cant hold a tune she has a really pretty voice

both of them are asian acts

would be really difficult to break into the western market

this discussion is pointless

One with the biggest fandom so Jungkook.

Quote from itiswhatitisss

I mean clearly but they only barely promoting or pushing BP so what makes you think they'll push Lisa?

Either way none will A-list/B-list, they aren't white. Simple.

same people who think that the minimum playlisting bp recieves is huge western push and promo

save your brain cells bestie

imagine thinking that western labels will give any proper support to poc artists

It’s takes more than popularity to be a success and JK has talent and popularity. So it’s obvious for me a single by him will do huge. But I am not so sure he will go for the full solo music career. I think BTS will continue as a group for a very long time.

Not talking about Lisa, talking in general. The label's darling will succeed.

pretty irrelevant to this discussion

since both jungkook and lisa arent white

I love Lisa's voice from what I have heard so far and I also think it's overlooked at how she is able to sing with her "pretty, cute" tone and then switch to a lower(deeper) tone like in K.A.M.U(I think she might have been able to sing Dua's part from the tone perspective cause they were almost similar) and when she raps. That's why I said "training" as I think YG probably never developed her vocal side since she's the one that raps and I see people say she has the weakest vocals (I guess technique wise) in the group.

JK honestly...

but in all likelihood it will be a while before he even makes a proper solo debut anyway, he may release a solo mixtape soon, but that's not an actual promoted solo debut. So there is no need for the comparison anyway.

And, have eye-catching personas that are trendy in the west (Lisa = Baddie, Jungkook = E-boy).

I can't with y'll. I swear

Asdasda Man, I love him 😭

jungkook but neither tbh. He is more popular but doesn't even speak English.

racist undertones to his

pretty amazing how he doesnt even speak english but is popular around the globe

his appeal is worldwide :)

Both will be succesful but if they release it rn then jungkook

those english comments are a bit meh but anyway.

even if we're taking english as a criteria jungkook is good at pronounciation. he just lacks vocabulary but that's something that can easily be improved with a few hours of english classes. he also write and sing in english already (decalcomania for example).

Jungkook is a league of his own. good lord honey i’m sorry you’re being compared like this. this is just

Quote from crystalblues

I mean this in the nicest way possible as a BTS stan, but I feel Lisa already appeals more as a soloist than Jungkook and she has many many solo deals already worldwide for anything from Cell Phone ads to Car Sales. Her promotions with Bam Bam are likely to only increase now that he has left JYPE especially with the possibility of him being signed to Sunmi's label as rumored who pushes collaborations and encourages working with personal friends over just the industry's top stars.

"Many more solo deals".....you probably don't know this but BigHit has said that all the members have been offered numerous CF opportunities throughout their careers but they chosen to only do ones that revolve around the group and not accept solo offers. Many of the members themselves have said similar things. So the assumption shouldn't be that they are haven't been offered CFs, just that they select and choose ones that a group related and ones that fit in their hectic schedule.

Genuine question for blinks: is Lisa really called the Golden Maknae in your fandom? Doesn't the term apply when the idol is a jack of all trades (sings, raps, dances)? I was under the impression that Lisa is a rapper and dancer.

In america?🤪🤪🤪 The delusion is real. An unpromoted B-side by a BTS member with zero playlisting peaked the same as a heavily pushed western collab with one of the biggest US female singers .

So Nothing against any bp member or any kpop idol that is , but Jungkook is in the biggest group in the US right now. Any comparaison with him is laughable.

so Lisa won’t have a successful career cuz she’s not called a golden maknae

She can sing, but doesn’t do it much. Her role as a rapper and dancer are utilized more.
