The era of amazing foreign idols in Kpop might be over forever

these are all rumours right?

China world domination

Should K-pop be threatened that C-pop picking up its rejected trainees/applicants?

Well C-Pop was always much bigger and a grander prize, hence why so many trained idols went back. It seems that more and more idols are gaining fame in China, and that follows the trend. Now I don't necessarily agree w this, but there's a reason why SM is so bent on China, they have a huge market.

True.

Possible. But what happens if the foreign idols are "asked" to defend and promote the CCP?

Is it? Do you think Sunnee makes even half of Lisa's income? Lisa has endorsed AIS, the mobile phone service, so her face is everywhere and, set the record of highest ever endorsement fee for a single person. Black Pink has been plastered on Pepsi Zero as endorser. Even a kid in remote area knows Lisa, wanna be Lisa. Sunnee is the most successful Thai singer in China ever yet, she has had no Thai endorsement and not even 10% of Thai population knows her.

Nene's fans have complaint of discrimination toward the Thai member and terrible overall management of the agency, Wajijiwa.

The threat is that if Cpop begins to build a foundation of opportunity that meets or potentially eclipses that offered by kpop. It could lead to a siphoning off of potential talent pools.

It may begin as the so called "rejects".

But it could reach a point it starts actively competing for premiere talent that otherwise might go to kpop.

The question is when it will do so. All The9 and Bon Bon Girls's releases are terribly underwhelming.

Chinese akgae culture also has to be erased for Chinese idol industry to thrive.

I see no problem. If American singers can support Biden, singers in China can support Xi Jinping.

Shuhua and Hitomi :eek:

I don't think many foreigners would want to live in the country ruled by the CCP.

Have you ever been to China? There are millions of foreigners living in China now.
