ZB1 members’ individual Chinese sales compared

    Quote from bbb988

    What about in Korea? Is hype for the group big like Wanna One? Is Hanbin as big as Kang Daniel was?

    It'll be impossible for ANY survival show group to come even close to Wanna One's hype or Kang Daniel's in Korea. Those 11 boys had a chokehold on the fandom and GP, which almost never happens. Even X1 couldn't get there, so obv ZB1 are not there.


    I'd say ZB1 have a good sized fandom, almost close to X1. But their GP hype is very low, not even 1/10th of Wanna One's, but that's to be expected, this is the 4th Gen after all.


    Just look at Produce 101 Season 2. Their mission song Never was #1 on Melon for weeks and had multiple all kills and roof hits. No other Produce show after has managed to do it. It'll be pretty unfair to compare them.

    Hi, I can't believe this is my first post here.


    I was curious to know about how would whimsy land (sorry I don't know how to use the forum yet) rank the individual zb1 members popularity both in Korea and other countries.



    As someone who keeps up with zb1 and hanbin in particular, I think he has the potential to be a favourite to the general public, just like Daniel he has a great number of older fans.

    Hmm, I'm not really an expert so I'll just name the top members in each country without ranking all of them.


    Korea: Hanbin by far + F4. Taerae is also very popular.


    China: Hao and Haobin by far.


    Japan: Gunwook is #1 there. For the others, I'd say Top 4 is Hao, Matthew, now Jiwoong


    South America: Matthew, Jiwoong


    North America: Matthew for fans, Jiwoong/Ricky for non-fans.


    Overall, Hao seems to maintain stable popularity across all geographies.

    thanks, yes, Zhang hao is probably the most popular overall


    Did you watch boys planet? I am under the impression that hanbin's popularity and appeal had tremendously decreased globally, do you think it has anything to do with the whole hot summer fiasco in the final

    Where are you getting that? He's still one of the most popular members globally.

    among the korean members minus gunwook , he is probably the most popular, but I was under the impression that global audiences don't vibe with him compared to the others especially after taking the main vocal from Jay



    it didn't really impact him in the final but the eliminated contestant's stans who are interested in stanning the group avoid biasing him, I could be wrong though.
