What's more lucrative for GG's a big female fanbase or a male fanbase

A big fanbase

More fan girls

fan girls generally dont switch up their favs whether its a gg or bg the moment a new one is out

Typically fangirls.

They tend to be more loyal and spend more money.

Of course there are a lot of big spending loyal fanboys too, but when I think of groups like AOA who lived and died by fanboys,...

There's also a reason that boy groups were selling more then girl groups by the hundred of thousands until recently.

bp has more female fans but they have also a decent male fanbase as well, the gender ratio has always been balanced since debut that's why they are as successful as they are.

as for RV and twice I do think they also benefit for having a good female fanbase. I would argue that's the reason why they are still doing well ( in some areas) until now if it was only for male fans they wouldn't have survived.

female fanbases are more loyal and they spend more. if you lockdown a female fanbase, you're set. but if you have a predominantly male fanbase, the second a hot new group comes out, they'll drop you immediately.

i’ve observed that, the older a girl group gets, the more female stans they gain, and the more male stans they lose. women are a much higher demographic of k-pop listeners in general. ideally you’d want a big fanbase of both (obviously), but having a majority female fanbase is sometimes just as good (or better). i don’t think a majority male fanbase is good for any female idol, you just know their time will be short-lived…

There is absolutely no upside to having a majority of male fans, apart from expanding market share if female fans are a saturated market.

Men generally, as a fan base, are fickle, disloyal, very appearance and youth focused, and generally very temperamental in regards to supporting female groups.

Anytime a GG or group member strays outside a pre-ordained box, it tends to have a negative reaction from a large proportion of males.

• Group gets older - Fans move to younger group
• Group changes sound or stops certain types of fan service - Fans move to a younger group
• Group or group member has the temerity to speak up about certain views or opinions, particularly anything that can be construed a pro-feminist - Fans react viciously and derogatory, move to a different group.

Frequent any male-dominated space where they talk about Kpop, and they're free to express their opinion, and it's just almost purely talking about females bodies and appearance (and that's putting it nicely).

Please note I am talking about general trends. There are certainly male fans which are perfectly fine, but as a whole there are certain characteristics of male fanbases of female groups.

Most of my male friends and families are Onces, even male fans can be loyal too

Everyone already knows the answer

This thread is a bit sexist

Predominantly female fanbases>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

besides male rich simps, female fanbases

agree
with this as a male fan 😎

but
don't understimated the male fans
I notice
a GG needed also a sizable amount of male fans
to be a contender

or be national GG of Korea

and I think
their is some exception
IZ ONE is the GG with 80% male dominated fanbase with a massive selling power
their roster lineup
had multi visuals
w great song discography
and vocal talent

definitely one of the best GG
in both digital and physical
