Why Sm didn't do the girl version of nct?

Don't give them ideas

they wanted their bp so nct girls

There's akb48 if you're interested in that and most of the time girl group don't sell as well as boygroups. SM was planning on it with RV but I guess smth stopped it.

I think they were supposed to add members to RV

With the backlash yeri recieved they gave up

They will. They'll make a new large gg, bigger than SNSD. Units, rotational members, the works.

Then when their debut comes the girls walk on stage in cloaks. As their into music reaches its crescendo the girls whip off their their cloaks

...... IT WAS ME DIO NCT ALL ALONG

I also think they didn’t have a deep enough pool to do it. If you look at the SM Rookies roster, there were 9 girls and 14 boys in the original group. Another 5 boys were added (mostly WayV) later and only one other girl (NingNing). Two other NCT members bypassed the rookies program and went straight into the first groups.

Also, there are a few other members like Sungchan who were trainees at this period who also weren’t in rookies but later debuted in NCT.

I never expected a female NCT, but it confuses (?) me that aespa only has 4 members. They've always had at least 5 member groups and huge groups for the ones they go all out in promoting as the next IT group.

might be that bgs with many members do better than ggs with many members. because bgs mostly have female fans, who statistically are more dedicated fans, and therefore bother to get to know 20+ people. in comparison to ggs who has a more balanced fanbase as well as generally more attention from the general public, and the general public absolutely doesn't bother to learn the names of 20+ people

NCT's concept is already risky being a boygroup, a gg doing that would be even more risky because they probably won't move the numbers NCT units move to sustain it. Not to mention that I don't think SM has as many trainee girls prepared to debut for something of NCT's scale.

Bc it’s enough with one

I'd read that too. That a big part of NCT was the fact that SM just had so many male trainees at the time, and if you did a traditional group debut with them, that'd be a lot of money sunken into training costs just to let most of them go.

I think an NCT girl unit would be more fun
