For me, the most impressive and sad thing is that she is the only female idol in the top 20.

Well, in the 1st and 2nd gen female Idols barely did anything, I think LE (EXID) was the first female Idol who became a writer, not sure, but she's not really active anymore, not even as a writer.

Moonbyul was the first who actually did it properly, and in the 3rd gen became a "trend". Also, it's hard for female Idols because most agencies, especially the big ones, don't give them a chance, or they're not good enough, who knows.

The only female Idol who's close to being on this list is Soyeon, she has 91 credits. Give her 2-3 years and she's in the TOP20.

Even BoA is only have 79 credits, 82 if we include her upcoming album as well.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

She co-produced Tri.be with Tiger. They just hadn't put out any new music since he passed and the company went bankrupt

True, but she could write songs for herself or others, but she's not doing anything as a soloist.

Quote from echo-sage

I think it’s more accurate to say they didn’t let them. It’s kind of like a glass ceiling in the industry a conscious choice not to give female idols the same opportunities. for examle the way YG ignored CL and Jennie is totally different from how they treat their male idols. In the end, we got to witness CL’s songwriting talent in her solo album alpha.

Yeah, that's why I added the company side too.

To be fair, SME still doing that blind writing stuff. At least, I think they do, but I still think it's not just the company, because even that shit ass HYBE is letting Yunjin to produce songs.

My opinion about this is that companies may give a chance to female Idols, but if they don't like what they hear or read, they don't teach them or give them more opportunities. Male Idols have a free pass for obv reasons.

Also, BIG4 companies don't want to spend much time and money to teach their Idols, especially about this. So, unless they learn it by themselves, no one's gonna give them opportunities more than once or twice.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

She lost her main collaborator and company, it's probably gonna take a few more years but we'll see her again

Well, I hope so...

Quote from icyruios

Let me just point out that Young K is at No.4 for writing FULL SONGS

Not writing like 1 rap line and getting the credit participation mark

Who are you shading this time? I hope it's not Byul, and it's certainly not Day6.😂

Quote from Eldeweiss

Myrio from Brown Eyed Girls is the most credited female idol after Moonbyul. She became a producer too, she produced and wrote songs for Weeekly and also for Yena last album.

You're right, she has 98 credits, so she's the #2 and Soyeon is #3 with 92.
