Lsrfm/Gidle both top 3 Melon. What makes Korea love female idols so much?

  • In most countries, male artists dominate the charts compared to female artists. However, top 10 Melon for a while has > 7 female idol songs at the same time. Lsrfm/Gidle just released their song and both are already in top 3. A new it girl seems to appear everyday. Why do Koreans love to support female idols?

  • Girl groups / female idols / women are just more interesting to enjoy and talk about. Men are boring in comparison I’m sorry :wellr:

  • they are trendy groups but remember trending groups fade quick

    anyways what is shut down and pink venom doing there? I thought people said they flopped but both songs still top 10 wow!!!

  • The most impressive part is not the girl groups dominating but actually Zico and Crush surviving among those dominating girl groups!! No other male solo can do that from what I know, It is really surprising

  • They will fade away eventually

  • Girl groups have always been popular compared to boy groups in SK.

  • Sparkly new fame

    The key of successful career to is make that spark last a long time bc the gp is fickle af


    One day u all they know and the next one they don't even give u chance

    How is that surprising for the biggest girl group? I think most people were expecting them to chart #1 and stay there for a while since they are so called "national gg, biggest gg". Their fans even claim they are bigger than bts so...

    The biggest gg is not even bigger than the male solo in the top 5 of that chart, now bts lmao

  • Women are secure enough to Stan both GG and BG. Men are too insecure to stan BG. So that’s 100% of GP support for GG and only 50% of GP for BG. These are gross generalizations but still relevant. There are always exceptions but for the most part most men will never stan a BG.

    by that bts should have follow the same logic but thir cmb didnt even last 1 week in top10 when bts went to music shows for a week unlike bp

    Army never claim BTS “has Korean GP” likes Blinks did. BTS went to music show to see ARMY, they even rented out Jangchung Arena for 4000 ARMYs while recording for Music Bank. YTC also is a ”hiatus” song and it even I play it less because it just too sad to listen. It wasn’t aimed to smash records, if they really wanted too, BTS would choose Run BTS as the tt.


    But Shut Down and Pink Venom obviously were aiming for the charts. It has all the repetitive ear worms and the most expensive MV ever. Also, why didn’t BP do music shows to see Blinks? They don’t need to promote, but why don’t they take the chance to meet their fans?

    Don't push it. Dynamite and Butter debuted number 1 on melon and stayed there for a long time without a promo in SK. Not even a lick of music shows that no one cares about. And if you're talking about those music shows that is for FANS, then BTS didn't promote Proof in Korea or literally anywhere else. Mind you, no one watches music shows in Korea except for a few kpop fans.

    thats really a GROSS generalisation.

    The BGs just dont have consistently good music to sustain interest. I used to casual listen to most 2nd gen BG and believe me, their music were miles better than the current ones who are only focusing on dance and performance.


    B2st, BIGBANG, 2pm, SHINEE all had much better music and they deliver consistently
