Can anyone explain why Idle has been so successful in Korea?

    they can pull off a variety of good songs

    like they can pull out tomboy and then also put out my bag

    they can release kwinka and then hit you up with fate

    they just good like that

    But what did Idle offer that made them so popular with the Korean GP? They have three foreign members with zero general recognition. Miyeon SHOULD be an IT GIRL but she has never come close to Wonyoung or Karina. Soyeon is a gifted performer and the most successful idol songwriter in Kpop history but she never ranks high in any popularity poll either.

    And this is why "It Girl" status means shit!


    Why Gidle is a TOP group? Because they release quality songs, they're self produced, not fake and don't do the same copy and paste boring songs. Just like Sistar and Mamamoo, they're down to Earth and approachable, unlike groups like Blackpink, IVE, TWICE or Aespa and other mainstream girl groups whom are more like models.


    Zero general recognition? How do you know that, you asked every Korean?😂 The gp still loves them after 6 years, their charts prove that. What recognition you want? Gidle are ARTISTS, not MODELS with 100s of CF's and fashion brand deals.


    Honestly, THIS is the reason why KIOF already beating Babymon as well. The public loves approachable Idols more than anything.


    BTW, I wouldn't say Soyeon is the most successful Idol songwriter, not even the most successful female Idol ever. Her name is IU! IF you're talking about Idol GROUP member, then it's Taeyeon, probably.
