Why do you think girls can't sell as many albums as boys?

    Girl groups tend to score more hits yet somehow still can't compete with sales level of boys, with exception like Aespa or Blackpink (and Blackpink sales are still lower than NCT, Seventeen). We have more than 10 boy groups who are million sellers while girl groups only have 2. Why do you think it's hard for girls to sell as well as boys with some exception?

    Because most idol fans are women and women like men

    Because most kpop fans are girls and those are in general more hardcore dedicated to boy groups and boy idols than they are to girl groups.

    This has always been the case in pop music since the fifties of the past century.

    Kpop fans is majority females and they are just more dedicated / crazy over supporting their Oppa. For example just look at the biggest GG globally blackpink compared to many to these BGs. Bar Bts Blackpink has way way bigger social media following than these BG's and yet even with sparse album release with alot of hype clear 1.6 m? meanwhile these BGS with far less following clearing it and more every album release yearly. I don't follow Bg sales anymore but I remember way back 4 plus years ago of a story of a girl fan spending over 20k just to get into a fansign(this number probably even greater nowadays) or the stories of fangirls sending their entire annual income on their BG. Literally all groups have fans bulk buying but BG fangirls are just crazier.

    boygroups tends tor release 83926327 fandom contents unlike girlgroups. With more release the fandom grows stronger,

    The majority of kpop fans are female, hence why bgs sell more. It’s simple as that lol

    Cuz GG stans would rather not sell their kidneys. BG stans don't need no kidneys.

    Girls have a stronger desire to support boy groups because infatuation.

    Boys don't buy kpop because social stigma.

    Because as much as kpoppies don't like to hear it the main demographic of kpop fans are young/teen girls who are mainly into bgs. Even the big gg sellers like Twice, BP have a lot of female fans

    boy groups have way more dedicated and hardcore fans. but if you told each and every fan of NCT’s to buy one album and each and every fan of Blackpink’s to buy one album, then I’d venture to say BP would easily come out on top lol

    Because most KPop fans are girls, and many more of them follow boy groups because it's their preference to look at attractive men. And because most of them think they are in love with at least their main bias, they will spend way too much of their time and money trying to prove it. Fewer girl group stans are in a hormonal chokehold over their faves.

    Girls love boys more than they love girls. That's all.

    Dedicated fans buy in bulk. Dedicated fans are also female. Nothing wrong with that, just more in numbers. Same could be said for games. More male audiences and that's their source of revenue. For KPOP, more female fans.
