Can someone tell me pls how did ENHYPEN become so big in Japan?

Their survival show lead them to end with a japanese member so they got a japanese fandom no?

What about TREASURE? They 4 Japanese members.

Treasure didnt have as big of a show or have a company like bighit in JP.

Once JP promotions start and original JP stuff im sure they will rise.

Also JP Treasure fans have not really had time to save Treasure alot of albums in the span of 4 months.

- Survival show gave them that following since pre-debut

- Ni-ki is Japanese so I guess that also gave them a larger following

- BH groups tend to do well over there actually, similar to how most post-TWICE JYP groups do well there as well

This.

treasure had a show tho, they also have way more japanese members

handsome member

People really overrate the Japanese members's impact in kpop groups, Jp is not as nationalist as Kr when it comes to accepting foreign idols, looking at the most popular kr boy groups in jp like bts, tvxq, bigbang.. they all have pure Kr members.

I'd say the biggest reasons for their success is the bts connection & the survival show.

Treasure debuted nearly 2 years after their show so their hype was gone, Enhypen debuted few months after their show so their hype was intact. In the first place Treasure's show wasn't as big as Enhypen's anyway and nowadays people don't check on YG new groups like that.

if that would be it, than everyone group who has Japanese member should be popular in Japan and thats not the case cause I know many groups with Japanese member where nobody in Japan would even know who they eve are

EDIT: I think Niki (that was his name right?) is just popular for multiple reasons and thats why Enhypen got fans in Japan. IDK all I know realated to Japan with him is that Rikimaru from WARPs UP /INTO1 teached him aparently dancing before he left Japan and Rikimaru is kinda popular in Japan so a lot people he meets automaticly gain a small following in Japan but I doubt that this is the reason why Enhypen got Japanese fans xD

Enhypen will be a huge threat soon to all of 4th gen Well deserved too, they're sooo adorable

wow. congrats enhyphen. impressive for 4th gen!

my nugu faves without connections or japanese members at top 3. record hasn't been broken for years now.

It's very amusing how they did so well with their sales despite the fact their korean comeback was just two months ago and the japanese fanbase already had so many sales for it yet they could achieve such impressive results so soon after a comeback..

Ni-ki, the japanese member definitely brings in many fans but I think one of the main reasons is that belift promotes enhypen really well in japan, even better than in korea I can say lol. The survival show also helped a lot I guess

They had a show and then waited a long ass time to debut and Treasures show was very limited compared to Eunhypen that was just on youtube.

I didn't expect them to surpass Stray Kidz or TXT easily.

They are still rookie.

Is it because of Niki?

Its because ni-ki is named as japan's little micheal jackson since he was a child the only child that kento mori ( a renowned japanese dancer) took under his wing and he had a show when he was young with kento mori they also named him as dance prodigy and was well known because of that and ever since he was young he traveled with them and perform as riki jackson then he also performed as a member of Shinee kids as mini key and was well known among the general public especially kpop fans in japan. And the fact that rikimaru a famous choreographer there is one of his mentors and his friend he was quite well known.

I usually hang out with Jpop fandoms and they have quite followers, but one of the reasons I've observed is that their former figure skater member (ıdk his name) have a large fanbase there.
