Are Kpop companies not promoting their Japanese groups internationally because of their nationalism?

I think they have a J-Pop mindset

kpop group promote in jpn because the kr market for kpop is so small. the jpn market on the other hand is huge for idols and very self sufficient. i promise, niziu debuting in kr wouldn't benefit them in the way you think. they are actually one of the more accessible jpop groups to ifans.

Well, the target audience for these groups from the beginning is Japan. And Japanese doesn't have as far a reach as Korean music and singers. There's nothing that proves it would be beneficial to promote Japanese focused groups internationally. Promoting Korean-promoted groups internationally simply makes the most sense.

If there is one Jpop group that I really want to see more in international arenas, it would be NiziU. Of all the Kpop inspired japanese groups, they feel very close to Kpop .

I think I was saying this to ves but everything has an opportunity cost

I'm sure if a company could they'd promote the artist everywhere around the world but all of that comes at a cost both in terms of money and time...

you can't just say lets promote in xyz country - there's language issues, freight, time commitments, money etc etc so many things that one must do in order to properly promote

and thus companies will prioritize those countries which have the greatest return for the lowest investment
