Can western ggs get fandoms like korean ggs?

  • One direction had a big fandom all over the world.. all the girls around me obsessed over them but Ive never seen half of the popularity/ fans for a western gg.


    What is stopping the girls/women (the biggest part of fandoms) from supporting western ggs the same way the supported Snsd/bp/twice etc

    Your average ggs enthusiast...

  • Fifth Harmony was a prime example of this. I liked Little Mix and anytime I shared their music on social media there were at least 10 people in my comments yelling that FH was better. It was all women/girls and they were much more hostile than us GG stans of Asian pop.

    Some fans even tried to grab them and run away while they were on stage

    Like why? Why did you think this was a good idea? I do not even care for the group but bruh.

  • spice girls and fifth harmony was pretty big in America (until camilla left) so ig they can.. but then again they're not as popular as ggs in korea gained popularity... but that's partially because MOST artists were in groups

  • Didn’t something like this also happen to Taeyeon? It must be terrifying

    Yes, here

    also Lee Bon who was one of the biggest names from 1st generation was actually taken for a few days by a fan and his brother

    What is comparable to them in kpop ( fandom size)?

    Their fanbase was the size of SNSD + Kara + Twice + Blackpink at it's height

    Huuum, I don't know enough about numbers to know about it, lol. Here is what I know.


    Little Mix were signed under the same label as Fifth Harmony, and Simon Cowell decided to keep FH for the US, and LM for the UK, so Little Mix was never really promoted there. They were pretty much the national girl group in the UK, and with one of the member of LM and one member of One Direction being engaged at some point, they were pretty much a package. 1D was more popular, but LM was their 'female' counterpart.

    Despite their lack of promotion in the US, they did gather a loud fandom in the US too. They were a lot more 'girly' than FH, who were more marketed as 'sexy'. People praised their creativity, and the fact that the girls seem to actually get along and love each others ( unlike in FH ).


    Anyway, the group is on the verge of disbandment now ( one member left the group for mental health reason, but also seems to want to focus on her solo career ). The group keeps going with three members, and they still have a good fandom, but I think their glory days are behind them.

  • Thank you for answering

  • The spice girls were MASSIVE globally. They had huge predominantly female support and still do. If they wanted to have a comeback tomorrow it's hysteria.


    Also Destiny's Child had HUGE female support so it's not impossible.


    Nationally Little Mix has huge female support also. So it's not impossible, there just really isnt any GG's around now at all apart from gg's within fandom driven system like kpop where support and fandom is part of the gig.
