Boy groups are over

This year, the rookie boygroups are bigger than the rookie girlgroups (first time in years) but overall it’s indeed the girlgroups that are getting bigger

Yep, i was racking my brain for GGs this year and all i could come up with were the TripleS groups, Kiss of Life, and Limelight. ZB1 and Riiiize are bigger.

It is actually the opposite, they are having a new resurgence now.

Boy groups are still by far the biggest sellers

There are quite a few multis that listen to many Kpop girl groups and think that makes like 25 groups popular because they stream their music once in a while, but in practice they don't do much to support these groups. Having hype in Kpop circles doesn't always mean much. Look at Everglow. I have seen very few people who were actual stans, but lots of people who "loved them" during comeback eras. People streamed their new songs for a while, but that was about it and they were considered to have huge hype in international Kpop circles.

I listen to lots of Kpop girl groups, but having people like me or multis stream a lot of different groups isn't doing much to sustain the majority of them.

Of course there are big girl groups, but even the biggest of them have less sales than quite a few boy groups.

@@@9bf752cf-abcd-431f-9877-97f419c8e29a@@@ and Seventeen can sell over 5 million in single album. Bgs have pretty massive fandom. Ggs just have more casual listeners.

Agree, I have yet to see a BG stand out in the way GGs are. They look the same and the music is the same.

In what world am I a western troll? Because I don't like BG music?

Nah, because this is typical Western crap to say about Asian people:

You need to touch grass, I obviously meant they look he same as in styling and things like that. If I thought like that then why would I stan GGs when they are also Asian?

Plenty of Western men who are into Asian women that talk loads of crap about Asian men.

Bonus points if they believe they are going to Asia to save Asian women from Asian men.

sure jan

I mean, it is a fact that 2nd gen and 3rd gen boy groups had much more of a presence across all metrics, not just fandom driven ones.

Love Scenario, Really Really, Energetic, Call Me Baby, any Big Bang or BTS song.

I used to sweat a bit when my favorite girl groups released music in the same window as the huge boy groups. Now not so much.

FiftyFifty would be, by far, the biggest rookies this year if not for the lawsuit destroying any chance of them getting their names out there for any good reasons.

RIIZE is here to save the day!

Quote from SooYoung

Actually BG seems on the riize !!!!!

With bg like Zb1, Riize, Boynextdoor who seems to have an image who click more with the public than bg in the past

fr I’m not into boygroups but Riize and zb1 have gotten a lot of hype in the circles I’m in. I’m for it tbh, I think boygroups need some love
