Why sexy male concepts don’t work?

Wonho and recently Minhyuk from BTOB often gets lots of likes on Twitter for their sexy performances, but when it comes to buying their album/streaming their music, it’s crickets. Why don’t sexy concept work for men?

Lack of fandom?

Wonho sells around 100k though, that's pretty decent for a soloist that left a mid-high tier bg dramatically? Esp when most of profits go to him because he is the one composing and writing his songs.

And like other people on twitter already mentioned kpop stans only want sexy concept in theory or if its their own faves doing it. Its a fact that Wonho is one of the idols that get the most shit for embracing his sexiness, if not the most.

it looks forced

It's not about concepts, it's about the size of the fandom.

Size doesn't matter, it's how you use it.

i don't like sexy concepts, they look cheap to me.

well i listened to that huta song just cause he lokoed hot and stuff and the song wasn't good. now libido by onlyoneof was a song that snapped to hell and back and that one i listened to A LOT , and that was a sexy concept that really worked for me. Wonho also doesn't make music i enjoy idk.

Then I need to stream their music more instead of staring at their hotness and tiddies.

There are lots of examples where it does work tho - from different boy groups like 2 PM to successful soloists like Kang Daniel, Kai and Jay B (I mean you don’t get sexier or more direct than Jay B’s lead off solo single )
