What can boy groups do now to fight back?

All boy groups debuted after 2020 has flopped. Even Treasure is selling less than Nmixx, Lsrfm, Gidle. Meanwhile boy groups are no where on the charts. What can boy groups do to start smashing again, like in 2017/2018?

Release better songs

have more varies concepts and songs that are good to listen to not just vehicles for a performance.

boy group market is unexciting and boring because no one is having hits

Selling a million albums, making the bb200 and selling out arenas is flopping?

It’s obvious OP is talking about hits, not success

They should disband and become solo like Crush and Zico

bring out nct hollywood!!!

Nothing for now. BTS is the only relevant boy group and they are enlisting.

Handsome faces with good proportions to get noticed. Ex: Cha Eunwoo

Then make him act or something

good variety promotions & funny members will make more chances for the group to go viral and make themselves known

good songs that gp loves & pay producers to play them during variety shows idk

No point in releasing good songs (and they do) if they don't know the names. Yeah, variety shows&acting are the only way to make them interested. That's how WINNER are booked and busy and gp knows the members' names, while Ikon are nowhere to be found now

Winner are also going downhill

With BTS out of the way they can finally hit big

When Baekhyun and Taemin come back early next year their groups can take up the task of being the only bgs the korean public is interested in.

BTS was never in the way? Perhaps, the answer is to make good songs instead of blaming BTS?

HUH? SO?

It's better than be completely unknown

They have hits, actual hits that gp enjoyed and could win song of they year type of, and are the only group who actually performed in university festivals along with ggs

Walk to any older person and they most likely will name Song Mino's name than anyone in nct/skz/treasure/txt

LoL pLsSSsS

Winner are also going downhill

They can bounce back if the public like the song

That's not the point anyway. I named way they can get popular and "fight back". They had hits and have members non kpop only following gp can name while some 3rd and completely 4th gen groups can only dream of it. You need gp knowing you otherwise no point in releasing good songs. Years later when the fandom will become smaller, only those with acting or variety gigs and known names will be able to work and not fade away into irrelevancy. Ex: Super Junior. Ik they still tour but all members can easily find jobs solely off their names and not company power

Nothing? It's better to earn money quietly. GGs might have higher public recognition but so what? BGs have big fanbases, they making big money and can get away with everything, unlike popular GGs being nitpicked by Knets for every little thing and probably make the same amount of money as BGs.
