Why Seventeen is not as popular as Bts or Exo among GP?

    Same goes for NCT and really all late-3rd gen and 4th gen boy groups. The only boy groups the GP showed any real interest in since 2012-ish is Wanna One, Winner and iKon. YG groups have always (at least pre-scandal) had more GP interest and Wanna One was riding on the Produce hype wave.

    BTS and their long lasting success overshadow the rest who came after them

    Exo? Bts?

    I said 2012-ish didn't I. EXO debuted 2012 and BTS 2013. And the GP didn't care much about BTS at first. They were always more popular internationally.

    Not you sneaking in sehun with baek and Kai like bfr! He had some potential but he fell off really hard.

    They aren’t popular. They have like 1 hit song and they are fandom carried

    They're still climbing. They're partway through a sold out dome tour in Japan, they were the 5th most popular KPop artist on Spotify this year when I think they were 9th last year.


    Between Seventeen, Stray Kids and NCT it's hard to pick out who's doing better. None of them have pulled away enough yet to be viewed as second most popular after BTS yet. I don't know why you'd bring EXO into it though, they are about as relevant as Super Junior and Bigbang now.

    SVT, stray kids, NCT aren’t second behind BTS. At this point they are behind BP and probably Twice. So probably more like 4th or lower. They will sink even more if another Rookie BG or GG starts rising in rest of the world. Don’t forget YG NGG, UMG/HYBE GG, HYBE BGs, SM NGG and NBG. Even LSFM and NJ might blow up to overtake them.


    I find SVT too boring to care about tbh.

    kinda wrong to compare even rm to kai, baek or sehun. rm songs can perform better digitally in korea as well despite being one of the least popular bts member and no korean promo. hmmm

    i think they are missing IT / charm etc so they are forgotten most of the time.... btw im not saying they are bad, just forgettable

    Its unfair to compare anything to BTS lol a member could release 1 sound on a track and it would chart 1. Because army like all kpop fandoms are addicted to success stanning that your fave could literally release garbage and they will up vote it until you get a Grammy, the difference between them and other fans is much larger and far more aggressive when it comes to promotions

    There's just too many members.
