Nikkei Entertainment revealed gender ratio for fans of girlgroups

Quote from bartkun

is pink for female fans

blue for male fans?

It would be pretty easy to guess even if was black and white just by looking on the groups.

Super interesting. So it seems “liking K-pop” in-of-itself, is a more female geared hobby in Japan.

But then, look at NewJeans’s ratio

Interesting to see the Japanese groups (not the Korean-formed Japanese ones) are still male dominated...

interesting

Quote from bartkun

not really

usually groups like TWICE and NIZIU back in the day would have more male fans than female fans in JPN

Well, if you look at the Japanese groups in the list, it's pretty easy to draw the conslusion. And NewJeans with the most men of the korean groups in the list, not a big suprise that either. I guess it's in Japan.

Well... not a big suprise if you see the concepts and how they are promoted, not really "girl power" stuff. And it's not a coincidence NJ is the group from SK in this list with biggest share of men.

the Babymetal and No no Girls ratio is insane

although this tells you more about the music gender split than the groups itself, Babymetal is well... metal which in japan massively lean male while the kpop and kpop-like groups lean more to female fans and they have similar splits

No No girls makes sense when you remember they were made from a survival show which Chanmina was heavily involved in and with the message 'we don't care about your height, weight or age. Just show us your voice & your life.'
