Why is SKZ more popular than NCT 127 in the U.S?

Wasn’t nct 127 more promoted than skz in the U.S? Their korean fans even boycotted once as they felt SM prioritized U.S fans more. They also had a 2 year head start. So how did skz eclipse nct 127’s popularity there? Why couldn’t they gain as many U.S fans as skz?

Skz were also nominated for the VMAs. Why didn’t nct 127 get nominated?

both are irrelevant there

because skz has more western appeal duh

Because It is like It is.

Americans care less about visuals, which is the only real advantage NCT have over SKZ. Any thing else (music, performance, star power) SKZ has them beat.

Since no one in the US likes NCT 127, I can get some kickass concert tickets with no competition like these other countries. Yesssssssssss!!!

nct are still outselling it seems

Yes, good for them but you’re not adding anything to the thread. This is solely talking about the U.S.

Their nationality is relevant because?

I'm American, and if I didn't come to this forum, I'd never know either one of them existed.
