What can Giselle do to lessen the popularity gap between the other members?

  • As you know the popularity gap between the other members and Giselle is huge. Do you think Giselle can somehow jump and catch up in popularity? Like Jisoo did with BP or V did with BTS.

  • Jisoo was never the least popular what are you talking about? at some point she was the most popular in Korea until jennie surpassed her but jennie and Jisoo are the most popular member in Korea since always.only in western countries she was the least popular


    why are you singling out Giselle isn' ningning not that popular either?

    ningning cbar sales are fighting with winter cbar. considering wintercbar has richer people (ie more bulkbuy) ningning cbar is technically winning since every album they buy is going to a person.


    yes ningning's way behind karina and winter overall (because winrina have korea) but considering half her cfans aren't buying albums and waiting for her to come back to china, and she has some recognition in sea (most popular there) and with western fans, so at least her popularity can increase.


    ningning hasn't gotten showcased like karina and winter have been so even this is a lot, if she stands out with Girls, she will gain a lot of fans. She stood out in next level but that was geared to k-gp so it didn't help her as much.


    fans have gotten 90% of winter's vocal range, karina often gets a lot of lines but ningning as the main vocalist has a lot to show and she'll get more fans when she does that. ningning has also improved since debut which fans like.


    someone like wendy doesn't get any of the hype that rv gets generally but wendy has a big buying fanbase (ningning has one bigger than wendy btw) and so Sm gives Wendy lots of projects.


    in that way giselle is worse off. ningning, winter and karina had their magazines sell out but giselle's didn't. even someone like sullyoon, jinni, lily and haewon sold out their magazines from a lesser known group.


    if Aespa gets more popular in the west, ningning with her western visuals will get more popularity, but idk if american fans will let giselle's scandal go. not only does she have that, everyone knows giselle is the least popular + "untalented" because of her dancing scandal.


    Basically the position Giselle is in internationally (besides Japan) is similar to the position Ningning is in Korea. But as a Chinese, Ningning was never going to have a chance there.

  • Pre debut Jisoo had four cf's with massive brands. She was in no way unpopular.

  • U must be new to kpop. V has always been the most popular bts member, he rarely used to get the spotlight in BTS's content which often made everyone doubt his popularity. Till 2016 he was undisputedly #1 but now JK is more hyped within fandom but V still has the strongest solo fanbase and popularity among non armys.

    Jisoo's popularity in SK was on par with jennie during debut days, jennie' fancam went viral during D4 and she became huge even then jisoo was the 2nd most popular but again rose went viral for her uninque "westernised Korean" voice when she appeared on mask singer, she later appeared on another singing show and her collab of TT was well received too, she basically had more exposure. I'd say even now jisoo is either more popular or has equal popularity as rose in SK.

    Why forget about rose? She’s equal with Jisoo in Korea. Actually she seems a bit more popular these days there

  • Just needs more content. She doesn’t show her skills seriously at all. If she tries I am sure she would gain more fans.

  • Jisoo was never the least popular, that's just a narrative some people choose to tag along with. She was always close with rosé and remains more followed despite no solo

    It depends on exposure and gigs too. Rose was the most promoted member during solo debut. Giselle's can follow Jhope's footsteps, he used to be really underrated but when he released his mixtape his popularity surged in latam.

  • she's the least attractive, I doubt she can do anything to lessen the gap. If you don't fit conventional beauty standards as much, if you wanna stand out you need great skills, but her only skill is rap and rapping is generally not as popular, she's last in skill in every other area in the group.

  • Nah, rose is ahead in the most searched female idol lists, she seems a bit more popular

    well yeah but then you could bring up brand reputation which jisoo is always doing better in

    i think their popularity fluctuates a lot but overall jisoo has an upper hand in sk

    Jisoo has always been more popular than Rosé in Korea, China, Japan and some sea countries it was only in western countries that she wasn't

  • Nah, rose is ahead in the most searched female idol lists, she seems a bit more popular

    keep in mind Rosé released music but still Jennie and Jisoo are the most popular members in Korea, Japan and China even SEA countries. Rosé is more popular in English speaking countries but Jisoo still managed to surpass her on instagram


    you all love to downplay Jisoo's popularity it gets frustrating when she proves people otherwise.
