Do you think its better for idols to provide more content or keep a mysterious image?

Like in the current kpop landscape, Idols are on bubble, tiktok, vlive, instagram, YouTube, varieties, dance channels and so on. Do you think more content increases fans? Or accessibility makes fans more loyal or does that magic and mystery of an idol fade with familiarity?

I've seen the quieter the group is, the louder the fandoms are. Like how kpop was back in first gen. They didn't have access to idols on various platforms nor the amount of information we about them today. The opposite is also true when idols go on hiatus fans sometimes move on to younger groups. Like say maybe a group has max two or three social media platforms. Can they survive or thrive in kpop now?

Edit: its also much easier to get cancelled with more content or information.

i feel overwhelmed with too much content. i liked loona in the beginning when they were very mysterious and posted loona tv once in a while... but now its too much for me. i guess im also getting old now LOL im basically jsut here for the music

Same. I've definitely got tired with too much content from several groups. Less content kinda works well for me. I usually have only one or two members I like and just stick to their individual content. I like comebacks but group content is a bit hard for me to sit through unless they are entertaining af :D

Quote from jinaland

only big company groups can keep up with low amount of content, small company groups can't keep up without much content cus they can be easily forgotten

Quote from lialve

Imo rookies should have more content, but senior groups like exo and bts don't need daily content, cause they have years of contents. Most fans haven't watched everything anyways, especially newer fans, so those fans could watch the older contents if they want.

I agree. The older the group and the brand of the company that they come from plays a big factor. Its risky for a new group from a small company to have less content. I dont think I've seen any group like that. Unless their promo and concepts are s tier I doubt they could afford that risk especially early on in their career.

a balance is better

it's hard to keep up with them with too much content.

I'm personally ok with the content bp give us on social media. I know they are busy so I don't mind they aren't super active. they also have their on yt channel and update us on Ch+ from time to time. The only thing I don't like it's that they don't release music too often that's my only complaint. We need a blackpink comeback this year.

Bp are definitely one of the biggest groups rn and their fanbase is huge. But do you ever feel less content kinda hinders their growth in anyway? I feel members like Lisa or jisoo might shine in varieties. Jennie and rose could benefit a lot critically from artistic ventures in fashion and music.

However on the other hand its nice that they keep their lives private and have time to relax. Their grip on the market is still strong so I feel blackpink makes it work. But do you think things would've worked out in their favour or stayed more or less the same with more content (music, solos, varieties, social media content) both individually and as a group?

Quote from Armedryu

There is always an option of "Take a break from watching their videos" available if there is any content in the first place

If there is almost no content, then well, good luck bruh. You have one option and it is to suck it u

Facts King.
