Why do male soloists not get a lot of hype (internationally at least)?

Quote from ShininOrbit

Agreed. While I don't think sugar is as good as red moon, it was still a pretty solid song and I'm surprised he didn't gain more fame from it.

i prefer red moon too but he got 2 wins on music shows with sugar on mubank and mcountdown which are pretty difficult to get! most kpop groups usually get their 1st win on the show which is considered the easiest one.

True true, I can't believe I forgot about him oops. I think kai's solo also was really famous.

Yeah, and there are other popular male soloists.

I feel like their fans are just less loud, I've come across quite a few male soloist fans

In general though groups >>>>> soloist when it comes to international hype

but aren't the male soloist's outselling female soloists?

since we're talking international what are their numbers like?

Quote from ShininOrbit

Other than like Taemin and Jackson, I don't think people can easily name a song from a male soloist.

A whole Kai exists. He's the most streamed and viewed kpop male soloist right now

Mmmh is so iconic it's still covered by idols every week
