Since kpop is global, why doesn't every group succeed?

this is like asking "if there are 7 billion people in the world, why aren't all musicians successful".... some things have mass appeal, some just dont.

But all of them are a least known? Sure, they are not super popular and sucessful but at least they have fans from all over the world.

You can't say the same to other artists from other industries/countries.

I have a feeling a lot of these fans make up the largest fandoms in the Korean music industry. Companies also probably have a lot to do with a group's success depends on their budgets and the promotions for their groups. Not always though. A lot of groups falter...it's like a business. Not every business lasts yet there are millions of people to possibly supply them.

Only few of them promote outside KR-CHN-JPN....

Rest of them don't or aren't in position to.

Simple as that.

Because people will only hear news about groups that promote internationally, already huge and well known. So, people tend to go there 1st and most dont explore more or beyond that. So, groups that is small and barely promotes internationally dont get a chance to hit it big.

I have a question. Is my signature not working? Someone told me its not working. But its working for me.

No it isn't working...

Since Hollywood is global, why do movies flop?

well, k-pop being global only raises the bar for idols. if there are more fans worldwide, then you need to achieve higher numbers to be considered a success. and if you fail, it looks like you fail harder too, because your failure will be compared against groups that were internationally successful, with massive records to show for that.

Since football is so global with literally billions of fans why have only 8 counties won the world cup? Some of them multiple times

hey there now Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo 2 is a classic

Kpop is a niche. That's why.

There's only so many fans to go around.

Two kinds of Global:

Some (One) are global 'like playing in the big leagues global' - BTS

Others are 'global within the Kpop world'.

the platforms only serve big labels and do not promote a healthy algorithm to create new artists, only to create industrial plants. Now sites like Shazam, Tiktok are platforms to discover new artists and hits, but both the kpop industry and the global one do not take them into account because they cannot be manipulated and there are no profits.

this is a wrong assumption. Kpop is not global. Only bts is global. No one in my family( except my sister)knows what kpop is but even my grandma knows bts.

Do you ever look at someone and wonder what's going on in their mind?

Kpop fans like to pretend that Kpop isn't a niche industry.

Lots of people don't even know who BTS and Blackpink are (many personal examples tell me that).

Kpop is not that well known global industry as fans believe it is.

ya.. although it has grown exponentially world wide, multiple times a small number is still a small number. I'm just talking about out here in the west. In Asia though, I'm sure it's huge.

big fish in a small pond or small fish in a big pond...hmmm

I heard there’s are a lot of money in the world, why isn’t everyone rich?
