What is kpop’s biggest threat?
-
Personally I would say they're their own worse enemy, In short, Greed. I feel like nowadays kpop tries to be catchy or on trend and misses out on the passion in music, like timeless art. They would much rather have an average song that people talk about but dies a month later, than great meaningful/ relatable song that might not get as much hype at the beginning, but will always be a classic tune. It's why more companies just release singles, they don't want timeless results, they want fast results.

How does this affect kpop overall? Will people lose interest bc of it?
-
Probably a loss of interest...
Youngsters are into kpop Now more than ever.. you think future gens will stop getting interested?
-
Saturation will inevitably kill kpop. There are too many groups coming out and not enough companies wanting to take the groups they have and wait until they reach their full potential. Companies really think there is an unlimited supply of kpop stans.

Hit and Miss, I think people will fall out of love with it, but at the same time newer fans will join for the trend. Negative overall though, if your gaining fans but losing at the same rate, you're not gaining anything, technically they're stuck in the same place. It wouldn't help as well if kpop lost loyal fans and gained fans only interested in what's trending cause as everyone knows, the trend changes every other week

Only facts are seen here

IU of course!
IU fought KPop for 11 long years but this new album appears to be her capitulation statement
-
I decided to react angry cuz y’all not taking my threads as seriously as I want
-
IU fought KPop for 11 long years but this new album appears to be her capitulation statement
Is this bc she’s not #1 yet on melon?

Not sure if you are memeing or not considering many of your threads. IU doesn't even have the same demographic as most kpop groups, especially in korea

ME!!!!!

like to their mental health or success? What are we talking?

Success and growth. Like are local groups gonna stop kpop as we know it or at least make it less successful

Kpop has already grown in an unbelievable way. Who could have predicted that boyband music sung in Korean of all languages would ever become the 7th largest music genre in the world?
The biggest threat to it is its own popularity. If Kpop ever became big enough to threaten UMG, Warner, and Sony in the US (ie Kpop songs routinely charting in Hot 100, radio stations getting inundated with requests for Kpop songs, etc), you can bet that these behemoths will do what needs to be done to take it down.

Interesting opinion.. I haven’t thought of this
-
That it gets too boring or more one sided than it already is.
-
-
Probably kpop itself. Cus the genre itself ends up being very repetitive and kinda boring if you consume it for some time. Its simply not very diverse and too rigid aka doesnt change and mostly plays it way too safe.
-
Another boy band from the west like one direction.

KPop already survived 11 years of assault by IU, probably the greatest soloist Korean pop ever produced. It can survive anything
-
Lost of innovation, stagnation in creativity department.
Kpop's is more appreciated for its performance and visual presentation. Unless it innovate in its music department, the novelty will die off. Cpop will catch up (in the visual department), Jpop has their creativity in spade, Kpop will lose ground.
-
interesting question...biggest threat...
probably the companies behind the groups especially smaller ones who must know about over saturation like zesty mentioned right?

But that is K-Pop. It's Western pop regurgitated with some pretty outfits and good choreos. It's about the spectacle. Anyone who has a passion for music would probably rather be a legit artist, not go into a K-Pop factory for years hoping they make it onto the conveyor belt. There's a reason why regular Koreans don't take any notice of most of the groups, they're a half step up from kiddy entertainers.

A few years ago I'd have said that international fans would never follow a Chinese pop group because of the dicey political implications. Now I know that stans will be apologists for almost anything if there is a dreamy Asian man of their racial preference with hard abs involved. I've seen white stans turn racist because a girl from one part of Asia got more popular than a girl from another part of Asia. I've seen people turn homophobic because they're mad about a ship. Values fly out of the window when hormones are involved. Maybe it will be China's answer to Jungkook who finally helps cement the next world power...

The lack of interest by the korean GP.

To be fair Arabs always watched US entertainment and followed their celebrities even in the darkest times regardless of celebs political stance. So I’d say it’s not only hormones but people don’t want to associate entertainment with politics.
