He used to be one of the most popular idols at his time and now he's making a comeback in a BL drama with Leo from Vixx

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

Oh mess, I just looked it up, she was the only girl and still a trainee and was casted for this and then failed the MixNine audition and her company dropped her and she hasn't really been in the public eye since. What a situation. Why did they cast a trainee girl with a bunch of grown up men?

she was like sixteen when this aired . . . which begs the question why ??????

because all of the actors groups are somewhat popular in japan, so maybe that's why they have a trainee rather an idol because they probably can't find one lmao

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

Such a weird situation. The guys aren't to blame because they didn't cast themselves nor her, but how weird.

yeah and also I kinda think that k-pop girl groups are not that popular in either japan or with japanese k-pop fans, with some exceptions like TWICE and SNSD

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

And IVE! IVE are currently the most popular group in Japan of the new gen groups. I think they're right behind TWICE in popularity.

I mean two of them are in IZ*ONE since they are very popular in japan and i think they are most popular 4th gen gg in japan but for boy groups I'm not sure . . . at all

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

Aren't TXT pretty big in Japan? And Enhypen? I'm not sure actually, I don't follow stuff like who is most famous where nor digital threads and results that much.

I think TXT is most popular 4th bg gen in japan and enhypen I'm actually not sure lol

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

The newer groups (that debuted this year) haven't created much buzz in SK, let alone in Japan.

I think the only ones that maybe created buzz this year is kep1er and le sserafim lmaoooo

but yeah for boy groups I don't see any buzz at all which is weird because last year Kingdom and EPEX has some buzz in japan but I think it mostly just fansigns

Quote from Pinky_Peachy

No I was talking about boy groups, GGs are killing it this year!

I mean yeah but I think it's kinda unfair when boy groups have no recognition when they have to do the same amount or more work than their girl groups counterparts
