What makes a gg have hardcore fans vs casuals/multis?

Twice? Content, content and more content

i don't know i like a lot of gg

I would say star factor of the members and consistent music quality. Charisma to attract fans. Snsd, twice, bp r some of the most charismatic ggs in kpop and have big fandoms.

People need to connect some how.

I only a casual listener to many GG, but when they achieve something, I don't know why I feel a bit happy for them

I wouldn’t think it specific to a band if it’s a multi or hardcore. 👀

I mean...that would sound funny to me. I was always a multi so I can’t like BP or Twice?

I'm a fan of gg's and most of the songs from my playlist is from girl groups. Content is what makes a fandom hardcore sans Twice. Although BP has less of that, they introduced kpop to a lot of people so those who discovered kpop through them would always have a connection with them. That's why even when I don't 'stan' BP, when I'm asked who is the gg that I like the most, I'd answer BP because I feel the most connection with them out of all gg's. RV and Itzy (and Aespa to an extent), have many multis because from what I observed, they were/are Blinks first. They haven't attracted many new kpop fans yet that's why they're not the priority. To have a hardcore fanbase, gg's must either have 1) contents or 2) attract many new kpop fans or both.

i have only hard stanned T-ara in my life from ggs idk

Ofc you can.. I’m talking generally we can see if a gg fandom consist more of one or the other. Multis do not put the same effort in a group like hardcore fans do ( streaming voting sales etc)

Hmmm. 🤔 I understand what you mean now.

Just my opinion. I would still say it’s personal preference. In case of BP. They don’t put out much content, mostly music. Maybe the Multis get into them less likely due to that. It’s easy to like gg if you see them on variety shows or YouTube videos. Bp-s music also very diverse. Like if I didn’t listen the discography I wouldn’t like them at all since they title songs are reaaaaaaally not my style. But there is also a lot less known song that I like from them. If you don’t search on purpose then you not gonna find.

In case of Twice....I don’t like they music or style. 👀

There is also a question how somebody becomes a multi. Personally I watch variety. I see a gg or bg I don’t know...they seem funny. I search more content ...I listen they music...and they draw me in.

I think its also the results of Fanwars

For example, in early days of Aespa debut, they were attacked from many big fanbases because Karina false rumor and Kda fanbases because similar AI concept . Not to mention from senior SM group fans feels that Aespa will be the "new golden child" (not that group). Complete package of hardships

All the shits we going through make us naturally attached to them

Like bp and twice have a lot of hardcore fans who put the group first

Rv and itzy have mostly multis

Aespa Is starting to look like they’ll have more hardcore..

So it’s not about concept.. what’s it about?

I am a multistan, but I stan BTS and Blackpink the most and I think I would be considered pretty hard core. For all the other groups I stan, I am usually a casual listener and I really like them. So basically, multistans might not always be just casual stans. There are a lot of multistans that are hard core fans of a specific groups/groups.

I became a hardcore for aespa because of all the hate they received during debut.
